PopTodd Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Have at it:http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=5968...;ArtistID=10003(streaming audio only) Let me know if you like it or hate it or whatever.Whatever you think, it sounds like nothing else I've ever done and I had a lot of fun with it. It really does sound better LOUD. Added a poll so that you wouldn't be uncomfortable telling me what you really think - anonymously. But comments are, of course, always appreciated. And yeah, this will be on the next record, along with some acoustic folk, classic country, bluegrass, power pop, punk, and some other stuff. I do hope that you like this. EDIT: And the response (even from my worst critics) has been pretty positive so far, so yay me. But y'all are a different animal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I dig it - I hear some early XTC in there too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah I like this too. Lot of interesting stuff going on in the track, and it's quite catchy as well, that's an awfully nice synth hook. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Golden Smoghead Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Stylistically I prefer some of your other stuff. I think the synth hook pulls together the pieces really well (like someone else said), but the programmed drummy sounds are a little too much in the beginning (since they're out there naked). I'd just mix them a little lower until the guitars come in. Also I would recommend just mixing one of the vocals a little more up-front-y. But please don't take this as hate. I'm experimenting these days too, today I wrote a song using a preprogrammed Yamaha keyboard drum track that opens with the line, "The other night I caught Saved By the Bell, and I didn't know why but it made me sad as hell..." BTW dude, you look a little like Adam Sandler in that pic. Keep at it amigo, and I enjoy when you put up your stuff. I almost think there should be a subset of this forum just for VC members' music though, ya know? peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I like it, too! Lotsa talent around this board! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serak_the_Preparer Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I dig it, but you/the song sounds alot like Chad Vangaalen: Chad's Myspace Page. Looking forward to the rest of your songs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 nice track mr. poptodd. you should make an album. That's what I have just begun, Phil. Hope the rest of it is received as well as this track has been so far (here and elsewhere).Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's anything like your description: "acoustic folk, classic country, bluegrass, power pop, punk, and some other stuff" I have a feeling I'll love it, those elements sound like quite the recipe for some interesting tunes. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm talking to some clarinet players that I know about adding a little Yiddish flavor to a particular song.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It made me smile...can't ask for more than that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know that a lot of you didn't like it, but a lot of you did. So, fair warning that I'll be taking this down in a couple of days. Thanks again for listening, and for your honest feedback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I finally got around to listening and I dug it. That synth hook is now stuck in my head... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
