Don't know what a stem is, but I thought the song itself was pretty good overall. I think you have a good voice that would benefit from a better mic. The Ricks sound real good. Like you say, the drums could be better, but they aren't bad. You've got something pretty nice happening here in my opinion. I would keep at it though. It's too a good a song to not make it as good as you can. It really is a good song with a great feel to it.
One can never find those knitting needles when you need them. (I liked the third book in the volume best actually with the ghosts and stuff.)
Cool song. I finally figured out who you remind me of. It's Adrian Belew.

Really beautiful David. There's one piano note that strikes me as very odd though at the 13 or 14 second mark. Almost sounds like a synth glitch. That's a very small complaint though. It's truly a great song. Amazing vocals and piano.
Heck yeah. And while we're at it we should consider a forum for the girl in the pink polka-dot underwear, because my old band used to dedicate a song to her at every gig, and I guarantee you, whether you're playing in Boston or Moscow, the girl in the pink polka-dot underwear is always there. Salute!
Well, they've been around a for a few years now, but I think the LR Baggs Anthem is amazing. Highlander also has a great sounding system, but it's much more invasive--requires routing a small channel within the saddle slot. Both are 2-way systems with a UST combined with an internal mic, but they work very differently.
There are some fantastic new acoustic guitar pickup systems on the market now that actually do sound like a mic'ed guitar without the feedback. It's primarily made playing live gigs a joyful event, but they also have their uses in the studio, not to mention live albums.
Did it rust into non-existence?
Of course in the 70's - 80's every other vehicle on the planet rusted away. Datsun and Ford were the worst though. I had both an 82 and 83 F-100 (back when F-100's were still full size trucks) that had no wheel wells left by 1990. They could have passed for rail buggies.
I just lost all respect for Jay Leno. In the latest installment of "Garage" he says his first car was a '34 Ford, but he traded it for a Nissan sports car. That's like trading a '56 Strat for a brand spank me new Ibanez. Some things I wish I could unhear.
