Digging A Hole (Stanley Yelnats)
by @jackketch
Challenge: PALINDROMELiner Notes
#punkthrash #palindrome Had a go at the palindrome challenge - wife is an English teacher and she suggested the character Stanley Yelnats from the novel Holes who has a palindromic name. Had a rough idea for a punk thrash in my head, did my best to translate it - I don't have a drum kit this year so the back of an acoustic guitar had to suffice. Excuse the feedback..

Love the vibe, I feel like it’s very true to the original character. It has that Sisyphus energy, endless digging.

Yeah love it. Proper attitude and Stanley Yelnats is a brilliant palindrome. And as @coolparadiso says. the back of the guitar is surprisingly rocking! I'm going to pottering around this afternoon singing "digging a hole, Stanley Yelnats" to myself now. That's a proper hook. Well done.

Well done, the back of guitars work well. Long live Sham 69! or This should have been on the album live stuffs! Loved it!

Great hook, solid delivery, it's a banger that you could hum all day while doing backbreaking, pointless labor. You nailed it
