  Collab in 50/90? I thought you'd never ask! I'm willing to offer my keyboard to the cause, at least. Oh, and you're welcome. (Note: I added you to my official list of influences on me last year. )

• Leslie 2 weeks ago

  Sounds good. (You can email me through my website: contactform@lesliehudson.com)

• Leslie 2 weeks ago

  Thanks for the feedback on "Down Down Down".

•  looprication 3 weeks ago

  Gotta love anyone who mentions Boards of Canada, will be back to check out some of your postings

  Real Estate...great new band (sent the first comment three times so have to overwrite it)

• mrgullible 4 weeks ago

  hey Sir Ralph are you still doin hosting for peoples? i am having trouble uploading tracks on fileden in the last day or so....... must check out your tunes after i have a wee sleep..........love some of your infleunza.......

•  songsville 1 month ago

  Ralph, I was just trying to make a play on words from a previous comment on clean noise floor and transmuting that into clean marble floor and making fun of audiophiles who might claim they can hear the difference between sound reflecting off clean or dirty surfaces ...
  
  Your room sounds nice, that's all that matters. An omni mic would bring in more of the room sound if you want it. You can tune the room with mic position and duvets.

• Catherine 1 month ago

  Wow, your influences read like a big old list of my favourite stuff, i absolutely must check out your tracks! Did i miss out on you last year?

• Dennis Jernberg 1 month ago

  My microphone: Last year, as part of its big holiday sale, Ted Brown Music had whole stacks of Audio Technica P615s (which I'm told are better than the more common Shure SM57), a $120 value, for $20 each. Needless to say, I rushed out to the Silverdale store at the first opportunity and got myself one. Since then, I've only used my USB mics for PS2 games like Rock Band. For actual recording, I use the P615. I have it plugged into a USB mixer (Yamaha Audiogram 6) along with my guitar and keyboard.

  Hi there Ralph.....potato (Flav) tells me you're the man for contacting re host files... I lost files last year when my file sharing place shifted the goal posts and i just tried fileden and it's a pain in the proverbial. I have soundclick account but it doesn't play well with FAWM player. Can you advise or help? I can only offer in return a virtual sourdough sandwich with avocado, tomato, cheese and pesto spread

• Dennis Jernberg 1 month ago

  Getting whimsical with the name this time, eh? Don't give me ideas.
  
  Looking forward to giving your songs a serious listen. And then several more. I intend to absorb this. I'll have to hunt down some of your influences too, especially the more obscure ones, to see if I can make them mine as well.

•  rahkout 1 month ago

  So when shall we collaborate? And what shall I rap about?

•  lonelyrobot 1 month ago

  haha, that genuinely made me laugh and inspired me to get my ass in gear ... 1st fawm now up

• Captain Vulpine! 1 month ago

  From one sir with a long silly name to the next; keep up the good works!
  
  Cheers!

•  Scott O. Clamp 1 month ago

  Yeah, I like Demon too, for some reason. Very kind!
  
  Your influences are stunning. St. Vincent and the Dodos ruled my planet last year.

• beepboop 1 month ago

  I have a collab idea. You send me lyrics, I send you lyrics. We each cough up demo, and double our output. But only if it works with the way you write. Send email if you like.

•  Joel D Canfield 1 month ago

  I'm challenging myself this year: it's an emotional purge year (any time the numbers in the year add up to a prime, I visit the ghosts. Not really. I just made that up.) But it *is* the year I'm gonna try to write some things with my heart instead of my head. So, it could be tough going.

• Kick @ss Acapella Duo 1 month ago

  We emailed you about some file hosting. Just making sure you got it. If not, our email is kaadkids@yahoo.com , and we are interested in your free hosting for fawmers.

•  Joel D Canfield 1 month ago

  Love the avatar

• beepboop 1 month ago

  Sure, prawn salad sandwiches. The little ones might be mic shy but that don't stop me from immortalizing them one way or another. With a little ketchup.

•  Corinne Curcio 1 month ago

  I had tuna salad on a bagel! Sandwiches rule!

•  VikkiFlawith 1 month ago

  Today I had a grilled panini sandwich with melted cheese, turkey, cranberry. Heaven.

• beepboop 1 month ago

  Is Master Nels joining you this fine month Sir Ralph?

•  rahkout 1 month ago

  If we do some 80's synth music can I do the rapping? I can drop some mad rhymez.

• pifie 1 month ago

  Mayflowers bring soldiers. You know it

•  Vom Vorton 1 month ago

  Sinister eyes are the best possible kind! I will be doing likewise, thieving every chord change and clever rhyme when you sleep.

• beepboop 2 months ago

  Because of all the sand which is there!

•  Nam June Robot 2 months ago

  Ok I'm just gonna say it.. I don't think the mustache is real.. there.. it's out.. everyone was thinking it.. Hey, at least you didn't tattoo it to your finger..

•  lapetitekiwi 2 months ago

  No problem Ralph, everyone was so welcoming to me last FAWM that I want to do the same!! I can't wait for FAWM to start!!

•  VikkiFlawith 2 months ago

  Ah! Another sandwich lover. What's better (and easier) than a sandwich?

•  John Crossman 2 months ago

  <-- Oscar Mayer weinermobiles always make me smile, particularly parked in a fast food parking lot.

•  isaac quatorze 2 months ago

•  John Crossman 2 months ago

  Your name has gone all fancy and heelarious!

• beepboop 2 months ago

  Why is it impossible to starve to death in the desert?

•  Scott O. Clamp 2 months ago

  Laughed out loud at your pic! Looking forward to your evil plans.
