Don't panic, it's just me. I wrote this song in collaboration with a German lad called Fred. It's about the German "Neinsagers" or "Querdenkers"; you might call them QAnon or "Wankers" over there. I wrote the music and played all the parts apart from the drums (which were provided (as usual) by...

This song began life a few months ago when I bought my Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 amp. I tried to write an interesting chord progression that showed off the distinctive characteristics of the amp. Writing the piece was one thing - learning to play it well was another thing entirely! I sat on...

Hi, folks. I lost my mojo this year with one thing and another, that's why I've not been recording much. I don't really have access to the Loin Fruit (my son the drummer) like I used to either, so I thought I'd make a track using my old 80s Alesis HR-16 drum machine, just to try to re-kindle my...

Hi, everybody. Like most of my stuff these days, this started as an extemporised drum performance by my son Frank. The drums are my new (old) drum set with some posh Zildjian and Dream cymbals. I fucked up the kick drum tracking, so that has been beefed up with a kick sub sample. I'm developing...

I doubt that any of you lot over here are (or were) into the Stranglers, but I finally finished a painting I started working on 35 years ago. I put it on ebay this week because it's too big to have around the house. It's six feet tall and four feet wide. Stranglers Oil Painting JJ Burnel live...

This is an original song by his college band. I was sent a stereo wav file of his band's demo minus the MIDI drums. This is a mix of the original file plus real drums recorded by Frank and myself. Comments welcome, especially to do with the drum recording/production...

This is a finished song, but for now it has fake drums - real ones are being recorded in a week or so, when the scion of House Po returns from college. Armistice plays some guitar in the verse. Comments welcome. :) https://soundcloud.com/bubba_po/arabian Real drums version...

Ages ago, somebody asked me to do this. So here it is. https://soundcloud.com/bubba_po/gigantic-pixies-cover-by-bubba-frank-and-manda

Good evening! :) Recently I posted a track called "Game Over", a recreation of a song by a friend of mine's old band. My friend was so happy with the result he asked me if I'd help him with a couple of backing tracks for a few covers he's always wanted to do. This is the first of those, but...

Right, so first up I admit straight off the bat that this is an impossible song to cover successfully, but a random chat between Paulman and myself ended up with us (misguidedly?) deciding to give it a go anyway. Enough excuses, here it is. :D https://soundcloud.com/bubba_po/debaser

I've just read an advert for a pair of used Beyerdynamic DT770 pro headphones on a "Studio gear for sale" page on FB. The bloke's dreaming. I want to reply, but I'd probably end up getting kicked off the page! ? Painted white, custom detachable cord - that's it. £220 (about $300, I think) he...

I've been on holiday for the last few weeks and I've been a busy little bee amusing myself with recording while I have the opportunity. Hence, I have a backlog of stuff to post. :) I hope some of you have the time and inclination to listen and comment, I feel like I'm hogging the place, a bit...

Something completely different from me, this time. I don't do acoustic stuff and I most DEFINITELY don't do country. :D :D The song is about a failed idealistic self-contained community that was set up in 1914 near the town of Llano in California. This is a cover version but I won't say who by...

As I wrote in my previous thread on this: The original singer recorded his vocal yesterday, so now I can share the song as it was originally meant to sound. :) Original demo cassette version: https://soundcloud.com/bubba_po/game-over 2016 recreation...

I had a bit of fun covering this while I'm on my summer holiday from work. :) Frank Black was the singer from the Pixies. He has also been involved in his own solo projects for many years and produced some standout indie rock music. Frank's ethos for recording is to get a band together and...

Ok, so this is going to my be son's 18th birthday present: We've played it in the shop and my son's thrilled with it, only we have no idea how it performs in a band situation. Any of you lot have any experience with this cymbal? It sounds as if it will record beautifully.

So, back in 1992 in Wakefield, England, some mates had a band called "Cable" and they wrote this song. They promptly split up and the song never got properly recorded or released. I've never been able to get it out of my head from that day to this - I think it's a lost classic - so I decided...

I wrote a new song. It's called "Anthropocene", and it's about how human activity will now be showing up in the geological record. anthropogenic global warming, a mass extinction event, radiogenic elements in the strata due to weapons testing, nuclear accidents and atomic warfare etc. A new...
