Upcoming August Theme Comp : Life in the Gutter

Guybrush · 08-03-2010, 03:23 AM

August Bi-Monthly Upcoming Theme Is : Life in the Gutter

Send up to two tracks to : toretorden

Deadline : 15th of August

Alright alright, I'm sorry. There was no July Comp .. Well, I was busy! However, we did poll over what july's theme should have been if there had been a comp. It was a draw between various themes and so, true to traditions, I chose the theme which had been in the list the longest. Life in the gutter!

So, it's likely not so much a musical theme this time as it is lyrical although you can charge the task of finding songs in any way you like. Anyways, the theme is about society's losers - the drunkards, the homeless, the handicapped war vets, the poor, the orphans, the beaten prostitues. You know, the people whose lives - if they're not actually lived in the gutter often finds it somewhere close to at least.

Give it a good think and then send me your stuff. I'll take two tracks!

Forgot about this thread.

I wonder how many Tom Waits tracks are going to be uploaded on this one... Wouldn't that be funny if we all uploaded a different Tom Waits track... it would make the guessing part so much fun.

Anyhow Tore I'll have something uploaded for you in a day or two.

Wonderful

Getting some tracks my way now!

As soon as I can think of a good second track, I'll PM some links your way Tore. Shouldn't be much longer...
