All good until a bike messenger whacks her right off that cable car.

I agree, nice perky vibe. I'm agreeing also with the drum comments above. It might be just the snare with a ton of roomy reverb. Do you ever think about more electronic / house type of drums? Might be interesting, personal taste of course. Cool work, Kakku. Your songs are breezy and make me want to visit Scandinavia. Is that where u are based? Cheers, -Tom

Half a day? Damn. Were you on Mercury? This would have taken me a year. Loved your tune, the mix, and the awesome guitar tones. Great vocals too!

Hey catchy little number you have hear. The 19 yr old mind was certainly a good story songteller. I was going to point out the compressed on the vocals but you got there first. Dunno if you are up for arrangement ideas, but it might be cool for the first four bars of the intro, just a capella vocals. Then the instrumentation sparse, then the drums as you have them. The vocals are nice and hooky. It has a 60s feel, which, doing the math, makes perfect sense ?

Started this one two years ago? Rather deep in the weeds at present. Please hear and brutally critique what I long ago became oblivious to. Many thanks!

Thanks for the carpal tunnel on that scroll.

Sheesh that's sweet.

Real purdy. I like how music of Ireland and Scotland can also sound kind of cowboy . . . git along Afton you little dogie. Cheers, Tom

Nice job Tim. Time to party like it's 1729. It's a great original piece that JS would dig. Straight Outta Brandenburg. ? cheers, -Tom

From a headphone listen, I'd say the bass is fine. Punchy. Maybe I heard it after you boosted things? Maybe also on monitors it becomes lightweight. I totally doubt it. ymmv. Nice mixing ear candy, very well done! -Tom

I listened on headphones. I liked it inside of the first second turned it on. Cool groove, cool progression, cool as hell! So I imagine you are still playing with eq and such? What's great about this groove is also what could be trouble - it's pretty dense with all the parts. As I listen to the bass guitar, I get (again, on headphones, HD380 pro, they have decent bass response) I'm hearing the wonderful "plucky" bass highs. But also, some really deep and kind of gushy sub-bass. I think you also have some kind of boomwhacker in there? I'd maybe tame that sub-bass region just a bit, it fills and fills the basement. Might be worth moving that hpf up just a tad? It's most noticeable around 1:30, whatever chorus or section you have there. Maybe a bit more variation in the drum fills? OK, again, great song, vocals totally work a treat, I could hear plenty of the lyrics. Wouldn't this be fun to play live? The room would go crazy. cheers, -Tom

Nice one. Welcome to the forum! Very tasteful all the way through. Mix-wise, maybe bass up a tad. I listened on headphones but could still have used more root. Your tune has a cool laidback triplet swing feel. Goes down easy! cheers, -Tom

Happy bday gents!

You could substitute some wheat grass, kale, chia seeds, flax oil, and kelp . . . for the chocolate ice cream. Then go out for dessert at Baskin Robbins.

I think it fits that drawing very well! Something was going on in the wide panning, some creepy atonal blender. Nice . . . certainly sets its own limits. The windchimes perhaps a bit much? Are windchimes the musical cliche that a cowbell has become? Perhaps I just had a traumatic windchime experience as a child. Off to therapy now. Still a fun listen! cheers, -Tom

Andy Kaufman?

Nothing wrong with being patriotic! And loving the flag. The melody of your song has some very tasty intervals - nice leaps that land in some sweet places. I think also your cadence of lyrics is more measured here, which is great. No spots where a lot of words rush out of the old pipes in a short amount of time. Excellent phrasing! Cheers, -Tom

I believe, in full respect, we should say "A" Flock of Seagulls. Unless you are referring to a totally different band. Or flock.

Where's bapu? This Fred's too big without him.

Where will the kids not go when they don't want to buy our mp3's?

Nope. Good luck tho.

The sting is, I tried to summer the courage to not respond, but alas, the temptation was more than I could copeland with.

Maybe 1x is just a bit cleaner, clearer. To be honest they sound pretty close to me. I think the effectery towards the end of 1x might be improved, and the vocals in 1x seem just a bit clearer? Hard to tell. I like the pulse and the gobs of psychedelia. Cheers, -Tom

Maybe this one did a u-turn and headed back into the womb. ?
