Description

I was going for a NYC, late hours, in some sort of warehouse, jamming thing along with Kevin Jones (Bud) and Bob Dorsey (five_extra_arms).

I think this is what we would come up with.

SURFER PUNK

Come on, this is fun.

	We Be Jammin What a killer vibe. You and bud took it to new heights when you deleted my synthesizer blips and vibraslap. Thanks for keeping the bass! I really love this sound, Dave. It showcases your deep California hippie roots, but it's the kind of California where the make robots. (Next to Apple headquarters on Infinite Loop) Check out my latest song called Michael Pool

Excellent
Great guitar work - totally makes me think of The Stone Roses (which is good!), and really uniquely you at the same time! Very cool. I guess a part of me is waiting for (and wanting) the voice to come in (your vocal is so distinctive and gives your music such swagger and style) but then I realize I'm getting that same vibe from the music alone. Very cool. Like the abrupt ending - really works well, I think. Nicely done, my friend. Peace.

lavalamp	lavalamp said 207 days ago (May 2nd, 2009)
	Maybe... ...I should listen to the Stone Roses. It's not the first time my stuff has been compared to them. By the way, it's great seeing you around Dave. Hope to see more of you. Dave Check out my latest song called Googolplex Times Zero

	waves of mercy sometimes you gotta just go out and have some fun - throw down a cool beat and put some jammin guitar down, and that sounds like this is exactly what you have done. Can I pick up my axe and jam with you? Nice job - thanks for sharing this. Check out my latest song called End of a Season
