Hmm, I think we could add some good lyrics to it. The drums I'm about to start uploading to Dropbox, and as for the vocals, I unfortunately didn't have time to finish that this week. But I'll try to record it this week.
EDIT - Here's the drums for 'Procrastination'.

I'm feeling ignored. I'll do something useful, and then you'll actually have a reason to acknowledge my existance (I don't blame you for ignoring me until now). I'm writing a song called wasted imagination, I have a backing thing(y) and I'll write and record the lyrics, then put it on scratch to see if you can add to it.

Ok. I look forward to hearing it.
@all4one: thanks for the drums, I'll start mixing it in

OK, so I've mixed the drums, check out this guitar riff I wrote a while ago. I'm building a heavy rock thing on it.
Sustain all notes, play finger picking with thumb on bass strings; pointy, middle and ring on the 3rd 2nd and 1st strings respectively. Time is 6/8, play slowly and heavily. Also has a solo that I can't be bothered to tab on a kindle

I really like the riff. Does it belong to the "I Want You" style song?
Meanwhile, I've been coming up with some lyrics, but I can't figure out a good chorus - do you think you guys could help? This is what I've got so far:
(Verse 1)
Standing in a field with only one sock
I've been awoken from a good dream
She slowly coaxed me in and said 'Let's talk'
But the sun shone through the windows like a laser beam
(Verse 2)
We talked of Egypt and many things
We spun the records till the grooves came loose
But then I heard the bells start to ring
Where I went from there I could not choose
(Pre-Chorus)
I felt I knew her for many years
In fact I didn't know her at all
______________________
I don't want the chorus to drag on too much, I want it to be somewhat puchy and to the point.

Yes, it's for the I Want You style song. Maybe for the chorus:
She was an explorer
She followed the Nile
I didn't restore her
Gotta find my style

Cool lyrics. I'll try to incorporate them in somehow. In fact, the song could be called "Girl From the Nile", or something to that respect.
Meanwhile, just so you know, the lyrics are about an imaginary lover one makes up in their head and dreams about - the lover being basically an idolization of one's hopes, dreams, fears, memories, past, present, and possible future. At night, dreaming about the lover, you blindly believe she's real. However, in the morning, you're rudely awakened to the fact that she's non-existing, and you continue to only hope that you'll see her again the next night.
...It's uh, pretty deep stuff.

The 'I want you' style song I was going on about... tell me what you think of it, do you think you could add drums to it?
Offline
Cool? No swearing-a first. Let's hope this time the post doesn't disappear.
I have a backup copy of that post now though

Hmm, I really like this one. Has a cool, bluesy crawl. I worked out a little drum thing for it, and uploading it on Dropbox right now.
EDIT - Here are the drums and a demo for 'Don't Wake Me Up'.

Cool demo. I think this could be a green day style song, acoustic guitar and a few power chords maybe, what do you think?
Please post separate guitar tracks, and vocals that go in time with the drums, then I can record the power chords and secondary vocals and mix
Also, how are the procrastination vocals going?
Offline
Pretty good. I think I'll upload them tomorrow.
And for 'Don't Wake Me Up', I'll cover the acoustic parts then, along with drums and vocals. I'll get most of that done over the next week or so.

Awesome. Upload everything asap, I need more stuff to do

It doesn't matter how it's pronounced. Also, you remembered your password?

All right.
By the way, are we keeping the name Probehæd, because I'm about to make an account on Bandcamp/Soundcloud/Scratch with that name.

My post with my lyrics on it keeps disappearing! I saw it posted, I read it's posted form and now it isn't there any more!
Hmm.
I can sort of understand why.
I'll post the lyrics again, twice, once unchanged and once changed, see what happens.
As I said, I have backup.

I guess it's the name we're going with

Also, will we be doing some covers for this album?
