Sure, keep it vague, let's go with reversed 'stuff'.

On uke it's very easy to get anything going, just do anything, then do it differently, suddenly you've got yourself a tune. It's not much different on a DAW, except it's kinda hard getting a groove on without any actual instruments to get you going; so in essence, to get inspiration, just drop some notes on an instruments see what works, or drop some notes on a piano roll and tweak it.

The one that confuses me is "the straw that broke the camel's back". I mean, chances are that a load that heavy would've slid off the camel's back to the side. It at least would've broken the camel's legs. And, if the load on that camel is so heavy that it has 4 broken legs, motionless on the ground, waiting for a straw to break its back, then, there are several problems. The load is useless on the back of the camel as there is no way that the camel can move it. If there is that little difference between the breaking of the camel's back, then who cares about the straw, the camel probably would've broken it himself. If there is that much weight on the camel's back, chances are that his ribs and internal organs are crushed, and he is already dead, meaning that the straw is just superfluous. That one is just stupid in my opinion.
Also, supporting camel cruelty is wrong.

Who loads a camel when the camel's standing up? Any idea how tall those fuckers are?

I was wondering, if it's not too late, to get a link to change my week 4. It's really messy right now and it'd benefit you lot more than it would me if it were changed.

Just like on 'Whose Line' the points don't matter.

I'm still going for the top score with 7/4 with two bars of cut time.

How enforceable are CC/ARR type declarations on a track, anyway? Ive always wondered about it. I mean I can say my track's all rights reserved til I'm blue in the face but nothing's gonna stop Grey Worldwide from stealing it and sticking it in a Honda ad if they really wanted to. Onus is then on me to chase it up in court, isnt it?

You send them a DMCA notice, no one wants any more trouble than you do.

Also ND. I wrote a program that'll download all non ND and non CR songs, I can change it to just have it make a list instead.

I'm in still, 7/4 needs more attention.

Are we restricted to this key, or can we move it around as we see fit?

A melody stays the same no matter what key it is in. I'll stick to this one though, it's very easy to play on the uke.

Not everyone might get permission to cover a song. I like the no 4/4 idea.

You might not get permission to cover one song, but you can keep asking other artists for other songs.

Granted, this takes a bit of time to get through the gears of bureaucracy, so perhaps it's best to plan ahead of time and do this for week 10 or something.

I don't even want to know what it sounds like.

I thought about asking permission to cover a song, that could be a theme.

And there are programs floating on the forums to download everything in one swoop.

I remember that, it was either 13:31 or 14:31 here; I had the best seats and everyone had to know it.

Here's the code, by the way. I'm not going to do it, unless I make another account and submit it as that. It's all mathematics, there's no artistic skill involved.

Thanks. I somehow understood there was an unexplainable exception for acronyms. About the last case I think you mean elision, not contraction though?

There's nothing unexplained about it, it's allowed because it can be confused as part of the acronym, like VSTi.

It's a linguistic gray area where both are right.

Now I'm off making the MP3s format (except not really).
