FUCCIN, Got a Lot 2 Say About This Record; thinking really happy - u realized NTSC gauzepop doesn't have to be 8 minutes long, bleed into shhhhhhhhhuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeesssssshhhhhhhhhh and go nowhere. Maybe too much sauce on the vox espec in don't dream which i lovvv<3 >",,"< i understand that u know i struggle with this same problem n i don't want to do the jason pierce/trevr hollAnd thing but u do it real welle bro. "Montana" is like a little heavy on time 2 pretend 2 pastiche 2 on-trend which is tough 3 me b/c the key-tar lines arr fucking so GGGoode. Its rad that the songs are kind of A/B pairs like that. "Slime Crown" showing growth if I can make one suggestion i would say compress or aggravate the verb plates a little they take up a lot of ear-space n that hurts dynamixxx

thnx bro otm re: montana & i will deffo try compressing the verby shit more, esp w/r/t vocals i'm usually tryin 2 learn 2 sing n learn to try to mix vocals correctly simultaneous w/ zany results <3 u ^______________^ u like

don't really understand this question

by **7spelledout** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:18 am

Not questioning the first, just the logic behind the second.

Plenty of great shit has come out of the Twin Cities. Like this. Good job man.

zip your files into a goddamn folder, goddamnit

by **j_brooks** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:25 am

i usually get the impression that people pretty much think i suck here

i don't really have any affection for the twin cities or the music scene here

i like gay beast and some moon glyph stuff but i mean i'd get booed off the stage at a gay beast show, i've never felt like i fit in here at all

i think "it's weird that it came from minnesota" comments are justifiable

Well whatever man, I like it. If you ever want to play a show in Detroit (why would you?) let me know.

by **j_brooks** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:34 am

thanks bro

i would like to visit detroit at some point, i will contact you if i develop any concrete plans toward that end

by **mynamerocks** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 5:53 am

it sounds a lot like new order to me, but there's nothing wrong with that
