Attitude... &mdash 01/10/08 - 12:17:14 AM
..to spare. I love the guitar on this, and am a sucker for distorted vox. Mix is ok, tho drums a bit loud and dry.

This has a great chugging groove ... little bit Strokesy, but with better guitar.

I'm a fan

Alright - we have a fan! &mdash 01/10/08 - 08:29:18 PM
wait till I tell the boys. Thanks for your comments Steve. There's really no separation in the tracks we get out of the zoom - gets a little dimension to play with. Next time I'll hose the drums down before we record.

... i found the repetition of 'secret' a bit... repetitive/overused.... but that's just me.

much to like about this tune. especially the vocals and the drums. That little Zoom sounds pretty good. I hear a little Robyn Hitchcock with a dash of Lou Reed live on heroin. good stuff! Rock Onward!

Many thanks 11i's &mdash 01/10/08 - 08:45:22 PM
and quite a few keen observations. The Hitchcock comparison is interesting.

Honestly &mdash 01/10/08 - 09:38:10 PM
I got a little tired of hearing 'secret', too; but this is REAL so who gives a good goddamn what I think of the lyrics? There's a pretty magical vibe here that only comes about from actually sitting down with real, live people and making a song; and I'm all for it. More!

Thanks Sonny &mdash 01/12/08 - 06:07:41 PM
Appreciate you stopping by. The live thing is a real "warts and all" adventure - a real contrast to my usual GB experience.

pure passion &mdash 01/11/08 - 02:47:10 PM
I really liked this. The chorus with the keys is spectacular. The guitar work was cool, & unabashedly in your face. The panning on the vocal made it seem as if you were singing behind the phone on my desk. That was really trippy.

We could tell you &mdash 01/12/08 - 06:11:01 PM
but then we'd have to kill you.

[ Reply to This ]
ok &mdash 01/12/08 - 05:49:16 PM
i just got the time to listen (sorry i'm so late). this is great. almost like the Fall meets Pere Ubu. love the trashiness. the guitars sound great, are you using old Fenders? can't wait to hear more. thanks for posting Bud.

Michael - you're too generous &mdash 01/12/08 - 06:23:55 PM
The Fall meets Pere Ubu - right on.
The guitar setup is my Danelectro DC'59 reissue played through a 1980 Roland Cube 40 guitar amp with a few old Boss boxes only.
LSD 25 (formerly John - of The Reverb Motherfuckers) plays a guitar he built out of Japanese scraps and his own custom pickups. The thing has a big whole right through it where some old electronics were. He built it to sound like his Supro - but easier to play. He uses a mix of home made and store bought pedals run through an 80's Roland Cube 40 keyboard amp.

Bingo! &mdash 01/13/08 - 09:37:27 PM

"You think this is the song, this is not the song."
Pixies meet the Velvet Underground. Would love to be in New York with you. Can I join?

The secret's out. This is really what I needed to hear this morning.

Pure energy like Iggy and the Stooges or any of those mentioned in this post.

I need more.
