  1. Perhaps ruby is therefore the one you should really want?
  2. Several species of small, mostly furry animals gathered together on a beach grooving with some picks.
  3. That one probably made more sense than his/her regular essays
  4. I'd just like to offer up comment #2, I've had this one into the rotation of late. It's very well done, and funny as hell. Great job!
  5. Well holy cranoli, that was a show. Nice trip, and an obvious major project with all those contributors. The music was pretty cool from the point of view of composition. I was hearing some timing issues with drum hits not syncing, but did you intend it to be a little off? Kind of fits the "journey" you take us on, actually. Dug the melodies and lyrics, but with all the visuals going on, the music kind of takes a back seat on this one, for me anyways. cheers, -Tom
  6. What a great presentation, from the early archives to the modern version. Neat to hear the evolution. Was it meant to be kind of a smooth rnb 80's parody? I The breakdown section is an absolutely fantastic mix. I have shared these type of parental frustrations (to an extent) and I found myself laughing out loud. Super great and creative work! This is a true friggin' '80's homage! For a tiny nit, maybe drop the volume on the snare while you are singing, just a smidge? cheers, -Tom
  7. more reverb on the horn stabs? I like the arpeggiations you have chosen - the panned right guitar one might be a bit loud when you are singing. I dig the guiro!! Vocals sure do work, and the ghostly, poltergeistish bgv's are a very cool, supporting add. It's a memorable and yes quirky song! For me your sung melody is integral to understanding the arrangement of the other voices - which means, for me, the intro section was kind of the low point. When the song starts, I was having a really hard time figuring out what it was doing.If this were my tune A) I'd be quite proud indeed! and B) I'd whack the entire intro right off, and start it with one go 'round of the chorus. Your vocals I think would be a much better early hook. Just my .02 brain cells on that one . . . call it a win, Lynn. cheers, -Tom
  8. Sshhhh about only 487 - you'll make Larry feel like he's failed . . .
  9. Their competition to be the most identically unique has made each one angrier than the last.
  10. Husker don't ? I think this is ok but kind of a 36gb bloat at an attractive price. I believe sd3 is coming up with some orch percussion soon.
  11. Ah, you will concentrate on Mac vs. PC then. ? Best of health to you, and may good music-making be good medicine.
  12. People who respond to marketing come-ons aren't intrinsically motivated enough to stick with it.
  13. Roth 403b with post-tax contributions?
  14. Mash them both with equal velocity and call it jazz.
  15. More than a nice waterfall? I'm on a PC but observations from any users would be appreciated . . . thanks!
  16. How callous. How vain!!! She pretentiously poses while the other four drown.
  17. Thong Thung Blue. My favorite Neil Diamond song.
  18. Just call your new band "Ruthless Lawyers" and that should take care of it.
  19. Freddie - thanks glad you liked it . . . I have a short attention span so changing it up works for me, too . . . much obliged John Maar - hata kifo kinaonekana baridi katika swahili! And, glad you liked it, many thanks indeed. Bert, - that's an awesome comment - let's both keep at it, I look forward to your contributions as well!
  20. Look, it's all very good, I agree a smidge of reverb on the guitar, and it's very authentic what you have done here. Great job! But I am absolutely floored by that harmonica. Well played, recorded, mixed. The parts fit very nicely indeed. You might do another pass with it so you don't have to repeat sections. It's just very nice and clear in the mix without being sterile. The ending kind of cuts off, I presume you have a fade out or something in mind? kudos Freddie! cheers, -Tom
  21. Peaceful. This would work with a whole lot of projects, from a slide show at a wedding, a Disney film with a love story in it, or even a tv commercial for a new blood pressure medication. Very smooth tune - maybe bringing the bass and drums in just a bit earlier might be worth considering? And you might reverb those strings a little harder? It's just me, but slathered reverb on strings fits a piece like this pretty well sometimes. A bigger hall? That was a cool listen, my blood pressure is lower now, and for that, I thank you!!! cheers, -Tom
  22. you might build in a half a second of silence right at the beginning. Your song starts immediately upon clicking, which for me at least is jarring. I like the tune, it feels somehow 80's to me. That melody really, really, really fits that chord progression!!! Pick any band: Pretenders, Psych Furs, Depeche Mode, Squeeze, REM, Elvis Costello - god so many 80's bands - I could hear them all doing this song and killing it with a huge hit. So that's a compliment to your songwriting. And it's a reveal into when my own musical growth became stunted. MEanwhile, have you thought of a killer solo section? I'm thinking sax but it could be anything really. The arrangement is great, the feel is up, so nice job! I agree the next thing to work on this might be killer bgv's and strong harmonies. Superb songwriting, hombre! cheers, -Tom
  23. Yep, and I checked out some other videos as well. Great catalogue and you have serious real deal chops . . . keep on rockin' in the Wayne's world. Plural, that is. cheers, -Tom
