•  sheilerk 1 month ago

  Got it!! Thanks so much. I'll try to get the updated version up before I have to leave, but not sure it'll happen until I get to Seattle, my jumping off place for Nashville, lol. Lots of driving ahead of me and way too much luggage!

•  sheilerk 1 month ago

  No problem, Chris. I really appreciate that you did this for me!! I'll keep an eye out for it

•  sheilerk 1 month ago

  Hi Chris. I'll be leaving on Friday to drive to Seattle for my trip to Nashville. I'm really hoping to take our song along with me. You don't need to redo it, if you could just send me the version you posted, but without my vocal, so that I can redo that part. I love what you did with it, and it adds SO much, but I need to fix the vocal

•  sherrycanary 2 months ago

  Thank you for all the comments on my songs/ Glad you enjoyed them. Now I am here to check you out some more.

•  sync 2 months ago

  Hey man, thanks for your comments on my songs. I noticed that you hosted the podcast some. Do you know how I can find out if any of my songs got played? I've listened to some podcasts, but I don't think I want to listen to all of them. Thanks.

•  sheilerk 2 months ago

  I know it'll be awesome. It already is. It was me who was off,lol. That wasnt the vocal I wanted to post but the site wasnt letting me load the one I wanted , so I settled for that one until I could figure out how to get it to load the one that didnt go flat on the end of
  one of the lines [twice!] Anyhow if you play it so that it sounds right I'll follow the leader

•  sheilerk 2 months ago

  I would love it if you put The Elliephant song to music!! That would be Awesome!! I would add you as collaborator if you decide to do that! I don't know if I can do it to count for Fawm, haven't tried that after the end before, but it would work for the real world, lol. And then I'd have it for Carter and Hailey, my two little grandkiddos By the way, would it be possible for you to send the music file for I'm still country? I'd like to redo the vocals before I head to Nashville in two weeks. It would be so nice to have it to take with me

•  aaronaschweitzer 2 months ago

  Nice to cyber meet you sir! I appreciate you reaching out. Wonderful set list you've created here by the way. South Side of reason would be my fav....but I think you can do a TON of cool stuff on a final mix of Bad Love Blues. Great stuff man. Keep up the good work.

•  downburst 2 months ago

  You have a deck! Me too, but they're getting rarer. Thanks for the comment on the Archibalds.

• orbh 2 months ago

  Thank you for your comment. I was lucky that the strings sounded quite nice "out of the box".

•  kingwoodkowboy 2 months ago

  Howdy Crispy and thank you for the thumbs-up. Ref "Rocky Mountain Howdy", Being from Nova Scotia, I'm sure that 'ole Hank Snow is the Hank you're speaking of.

• bck15 2 months ago

  Thanks for the kind words! I'm finally getting a chance to listen to some other FAWM music, and I'm starting with yours. What I've heard so far is impressive.

•  sapient 2 months ago

  I've really enjoyed going through each of your songs this evening. It's a very diverse collection. One to be proud of I reckon!

• hannahoreilly 2 months ago

  hey dollface, yeah, i've kinda been lurking throwing songs on here when i have a spare 10 mins to record them and then hiding under my uni books once more will try and catch up with all your songs next week! x

• kessel 2 months ago

  We did it! Now if only I could hear our finished song...

•  sheilerk 2 months ago

  Wow!! You're burnin' it up in the home stretch!!! GO Crispy!!!! And Congratulations, again!

•  sheilerk 2 months ago

  Wow!!! Thank you. I wonder if you could email me the music file so I could redo the vocal to the music. I didn't even use a metronome, lol. I just love what you did. You did an amazing job!! I'd love to redo it and repost it in a few days
  My email address is sheilerk @ charter. net. I'm so grateful. This one meant a lot to me My childhood was a long way from idylic, but it had it's moments and was filled with love, so who can complain

•  wyatt 2 months ago

  Yeah!! on Roses
  I like that!!
  Real good job
  Congrats to Mrs. Crispy

•  quigboto 2 months ago

  Thanks for the comments RE: "Low Light Low" - you definitely picked up the vibe I was going for, being a fan of shoegaze greats like Slowdive and Broadcast myself.

• nick 2 months ago

  Crispy, you are awesome! I love what you've sent me, and I'm working on notation for big band, though it probably won't be done in February. There are some technical things tripping me up, especially rhythmically that I don't know why I can't figure out at the moment. Thank you for sending me the song though, I love it, and I'll finish it when I can!

• onetomany 2 months ago

  Hey , thanks for the comment on my lyrics for "In This Town", The song is up now if you'd like to listen - http://fawm.org/songs/28319/

•  wyatt 2 months ago

  Yeah, I need a couple more collabs if you're interested. I've go several lyrics up that haven't got music. I always have a head tune and can send you a vocal on any of them if there isn't one already up or let me know what you're hearing

• arthurrossi 2 months ago

  Thank you very, very much for your generous comment!

•  hbusse 2 months ago

  Thanks so much for listening to my version of Olive Oil and Worcestershire! I appreciate it.

•  brownium 3 months ago

  Dude - don't take gslade personally. He's wrong. As someone else pointed out, there is a jukebox if you just want to listen to the songs. The radio show is about more than just playing songs. I haven't listened to your show yet, so I can't comment in specific, but note that only one person is critisizing. Perhaps he was just grumpy that day.
  
  (ps - I'm glad he hasn't listened to any of my shows yet....)

•  sw1n3flu 3 months ago

  Thanks for the comments about my version of Olive Oil and Worcestershire

• thesmitchens 3 months ago

  Thanks for the welcome. Nice work yourself.

•  emkeev 3 months ago

  Thanks so much for playing the Stinkbug Song! And the wonderful compliments. The poor woman who found the stinkbug in the cereal was my boss.

• sarahls 3 months ago

  Thanks for the comment! You were the second one to tell me that, my novelists friend wants to work with me on that front.

•  toddchappelle 3 months ago

  Crispy - thanks for playing Beer and Jesus on the FAWMcast last night.
  Great job hosting. You have a real "radio voice".

• djvelly 3 months ago

  Hey, thanks for the comment on "Lost and Damned." I love Skinny Puppy so that's a huge compliment! Let me know if you're ever down for a collaboration, I'd love to see what we can pull together.

• onetomany 3 months ago

  Hey Thanks for the comment - I just updated the song so check it again....if you like

•  rosedeschamps 3 months ago

  An absolute pleasure! Lovely to "meet" you

• kessel 3 months ago

  Hey there! I see you're also capable of acoustic and electronic like me. This is gonna be a fun collab!

•  wille 3 months ago

  @crispy8888 did a really cool moody version of the EtC challenge http://fawm.org/songs/24351/ which bodes well for some nice folktronica collabing with designated e-head @kessel.

•  echovoodoo 3 months ago

  Re. the FAWMcast stinger: cool! I uploaded it to BTR just now (I plan to use it on Saturday as well).

•  juhol 3 months ago

  Fast Tracker 2 was like dream come true back in the days. Hoho. The good old days...

•  debs 3 months ago

  Hey Crispy!
  
  Saw on the FAWMcast wiki that you'd volunteered to host a show or two Any chance you'd want to do one this week? I'm trying to lighten the load on poor Errol - he is running himself a bit ragged. It's his own fault though so if not, no worries!

• nick 3 months ago

  Well, I suppose first we should probably come up with the absolute basics... a theme, genre, who's doing what, etc. Suggestions?

• keithwiseman 3 months ago
