Having just downloaded said 'music' I am pleased to announce that it's not quite as bad as my memory serves, but it's still pretty gruesome.

Yes, indeed!

Has this project been forgotten again, or is it still being worked on? =)

[Waz]

I must reply to things sooner..

In reality, I'd love to do it as soon as possible (understatement), but I ideally need someone with us to do it. Ideal candidates would be Dan or Neil, seeing as they live closest to me, simply because it works better with two people commenting on it.

I'd also need decent microphones etc, and as money's too tight to mention at the moment it's on hold - but one day it will happen.

Or maybe I should go and visit Boz and the two of us just record away - although that's even more expense. Aaaargh! I need to win the lottery, and fast.

In the meantime, any new suggestions more than welcome - there's been a plethora of crap SIDs in the last few updates, and some of them were even ripped by yours truly just to inflict the pain on everyone and not just me :)

You could always come down and do it here...

[Waz]

Actually Chris, that isn't that bad an idea either.

No matter what happens, I'll record the SIDs in advance from a real C64 though, save us playing them in Sidplay eh? :)

And a visit to Bromley to see the twins might be quite nice too, and a bit less costly...

[Waz]

Actually Chris, I did have a thought on this: we need to arrange a day to do a recording of this, and maybe Sunday 19th August would be good as I'm down in London that weekend anyway?

It really needs two people to add their witty ripostes, and someone to have to listen to them and pick the piles of poo in the first place.

If anyone's listening to stuff in HVSC 47 now and finds anything really bad, let us know and I'll consider it.

Great idea.

now I couldnt get to http://c64audio.valuehost.co.uk/edge/worstsids.htm or the one with the link to the MP3 file.

One of the worst SIDs I've ever heard is this one here:

Great idea.

I found another one among the "5 random SIDs" on R:K:O...
DEMOS/A-F/Deutschlandlied.sid

If I was a nationalist, I would consider this an insult to the German national anthem.

OUCH!!!

[Jim Power]

Whatever happened to this idea? The original "Worst SIDs ever" show was hilarious... time to finally bring on a sequel, folks!

Does it really get much worse than that while still being cool?

Don't forget the shaking logo at the end.

[Jim Power]

I felt the need to bump this thread once more...

[Chris Abbott]

I'd still rather do "Worst Remixes Ever"
