Since I was last here two years ago I have rather moved on and now inhabit territory where some may be reluctant to follow.
I've had to change my picture, because the temporary one of a genial old bloke smiling does not reflect the maniac now at the controls.
I still don't understand why people equate making music with trying to sound exactly like stuff that's been made before.

Hey, just to let you know i'll be playing your song Cola That Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Dead (Fizzo Poppo Supa Cooler) on my show on www.dandelionradio.com next month (April 2022) so please feel free to tune in, and to tell everyone you know to do the same. The show is on at various different times of day throughout the month so there will be plenty of opportunities for people to listen in at a time that suits them.
I will be producing one, but stuff just got in the way. It is on my list...
Came to listen to the tracks I'd not heard yet and the links are dead? Noooooo!
The Cars !! Honestly thank you for the compliments. I'm glad it's impossible to turn off mwahaha
You won! Well done!
The super collab is finally up!
Thank you for the wonderful comments you left about my music. I truly appreciate them. Oh, and I'm so glad to see you back here again this year.
Thanx for the comment on the "Severed Ear" tune.
That guy in the picture is John Paul Getty III, who actually had his ear cut off by kidnappers. They sent it to his grandfather in the mail in order to force him to pay ransom.
It's actually a really crazy story.
Head on down to the "Kidnapping" section here;

David Scott! That's fantastic praise indeed. Terrifically talented writer. I understand he's a lecturer now here in Glasgow. Thanks so much for that!
HAHAHA....Nope. No ELP! decidedly not. Oooohhh...yuck. I like a lot of things from that era, but not that.
Yeah thanks! It has been a lot of work, which is just on pause for February. I’m doing the work myself so I can afford it, but with some help from very nice people. So, what is your initial spark typically? A sound? A character or setting? I can imagine that from there it’s just following your idea with a completely open mind. Always a challenge but certainly worth it. I laughed out loud about creating convention if you have to…AND the BS notion that anyone creates individual and unique because they can’t do standard stuff…..what rubbish, but it serves them well I guess.
Hey there! It's really nice to see you back and hear your music! I hope that all is well with you. I've listened to all but one of yours but haven't commented yet. Wild and wonderful creations....You did know that some did a silvermachine challenge last year, right? Hahahaha...I was going to, but just couldn't get it done like it should be--probably too conventional in the head last year. Anyway, thanks for the listen and I will be stopping by when I can give the proper time and attention. Cheers!
Yeah, sorry about the Tiny Trees song; I thought most people wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about, but I had to follow where my subconscious mind told me to go. At least I make myself laugh.
Thank u for the listens! Can confirm cohabitation is indeed hard.
sorry about that dude, it's hard for me to judge my end, but i think it must be something the broadcasting software is doing, i usually play the version of your files i get direct from you. I dont know masses about this kind of stuff, but leave it with me, i'll see wht can be done.
hello again! thanks for your comment on my #4 track :)!!
Gotta say, your guitar on "Jazz Apostates" is one of the best things I've heard during this (or any) FAWM.
Thanks for your comments on Fluff... much appreciated.
Awesome!
I'll email you the details shortly.
thanks for your comment on my halftime tune! means a lot coming from you actually. i feel like there's no way someone can come up with the bangers on your page without an extensive knowledge of music. no wonder i had you watchlisted for years!
To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what empanadas are either.
Some kind of Mexican food? They just kept mentioning them, though, and I became obsessed with the sound.
Empanadas. Empanadas. Empanadas.
It's a fun word.
Thank you for your comments on Girl with Puppy-Saving Heart. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your nice words for my first tune. First idea was showing how different children and adults experience "crises"
Thanks for the great comments as always!
I was wondering, I'm planning out a big multi-part multi-collab like the Who's "A Quick One" but themed around a bunch of weirdos going on to Northern Canada for a gold rush.
I was wondering if you wanted to contribute a piece to it? There is a 20-30 second part in the song that could use some classic Silver Machine drums and guitar madness to simulate the sound of a bus flying off a cliff and rolling down a hill.
Thought I'd see if you're interested!
great... glad you got it ok.
Looking forward to hearing how this all turns out. : )
exactly, delightful guitar soloing is overrated anyways :) thx for listening!
Hi SM…yeah, that’s me. I miss your brilliance on the uk swforum
Im jealous about your profile pic. Thank you for your nice comments.
Outstanding to have you back sir.
Nice to see you're back
That picture is great! but I think she's using that espresso machine wrong.
LOL, what the fuck is that picture :D
Thank you for your ear listens silvermachiiiine! Yes, sadly, I recorded something much punchier and more sadistic earlier with the American fellow (I forget his name too), what can I say, he needs me.
I went back to playing bass pretty much full time. And decided to drag my first love (recorder) out from under the patio. ;-)
Yay! You're back!
Oh awesome! The mighty Silver Machine runs again.
Hail the conquering hero! can't wait to have my ears massacred once again!! :-D
Yassssss! Now it’s REALLY Fawm :D
Yay!!
Silvermachine rises from the ashes!!
Absolutely... hail the king!
I'll third that.
See You In The Shadows…
I concur
Ah, Silvermachine.
You are still awesome.
