pretty good, if i heard it on the radio i wouldnt skip it, id be interested in what you could do with some vocals over the whole track, and not just the intro vox. make a whole cd of that sort and id be intersted, vocals as needed, where you please (sidenote: are you in california now, for good, or just chillin' for a bit) |

I was there for a week. Well 3 days. The other days were spent driving my piece of shit car the 3000 miles. Haha. I've been back since the day before New Years. Yeah, I'd love to do more like this. About lyrics, I have no idea what I would sing about, haha. |

Thoughts: First thing that strikes me is, that something is wrong with the mix. The shekka shekka shekka is maybe a bit to loud to my taste. Impressive that you do all the instruments. Takes actual talent. The guitar sounds too "off" at times. The melody doesnt do anything for me, and i don't get that feeling of wanting to listen to it again. That said, it sounds as good as most of those "the" bands out there right now. It's very exiting that you have the ressources to do this sort of thing now, but it shines through that it's your first time doing anything like this. It's very promising, in the sense that you will be able to do some very interesting things with your music now. I would like to hear some pop music from you. Maybe write it first on your guitar or something, whatever you like the most, then make a basic electronic version of it, then record drum tracks on top of that, guitar etc. and experiment, and try finding a unique sound. Try listening to Ariel Pink. I always like listening to your stuff, and i can sense that your talent has evolved every time i hear something new from you. I REALLY looking forward to listening to whatever you will come up with in the future. Christ... you are so young. In the future i will be able to boast that i new you before you where famous :) Good luck! |

I wish I knew more about the recording process and how to do it better and about mixing and all the tricks and everything. That would help me so much I think. Thanks for the advice and words. |

HAHAHA! I'm lol'in Thad. :D I tried to write a song about my trip, and metaphors and shit, and I broke down in tears in my room. Thew shit I did, not even funny and I don't want to have to think about it. |

Write about it in a humoristic point of view! |

God, do not write about your own life. |

I won't don't worry. |

Good - it's very hard to do it with class. Leonard Cohen is a consummate example of sublime lyrics with a memoir flavour. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I could be cliche and rap about "my life" though, and how tough it is. |
||||||||
|

Please don't. Slip on a Slick Rick cut; you'll seen be disabused of such notions. |

Haha. Ok, here's the thing. I don't write lyrics anyways, so don't worry. The words and singing on my tracks with singing come from my friend Andy. He's good with that kind of thing. |

I write lyrics if you ever need any. One of my poems from my teenage years, Napoleon, was picked by a local band and turned into a song. Never heard it myself, but I'm sure my lyrics were the best thing about it. Rigole |

Do you sing? How are you with hearing a song and writing something/recording over it. That's how Andy and I work, it's great I think. |

I sing sometimes. I've spammed a few vocal tracks on Xltronic from time to time. I remember Ophecks liked a track called "Some Place Better", which is also one of my favourites. I'm a passable singer. |
||||||||

|
I'd enjoy hearing this sometime. I know I don't have the best voice for singing, myself, but I do it anyways. With practice and listening back on my mistakes, I hope to learn to sing from it. |

I really want to self-harmonise, but I've never had the right soundcard to be able to do it effectually. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the mixdown is kinda shit. but this has a very fresh but retro rock sound. i like it. tamborine haha. good use of the tamborine. actually i think the shit mixdown kinda ADDS to the quality of this track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not all hard. I have a terrible sound card and I found it possible to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks! Yeah, I thought it was the PERFECT setting to use the tambourine sample in. Haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a very convincing tamborine sample. i was imagining you shaking it with a big smile like this --> :D |

I figured out a way to write about my life and have it make sense. I think. Song about how I need to fucking grow up, and start acting "normal". |
||||||||
