Glad you liked "Ice + Age," so much so you listened and decoded it!

Thank you, Rick! Mr. Floyd is Pink - one of their more famous lyrics: "The time is gone, the song is over,Thought I'd something more to say." My lyric: "Song is over/
Thought I had much more to say/My apologies to Mr Floyd for everything."

also: you mean people don't already care about falling watertowers? The song was a small message to former bandmates from 20 years ago when we did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPpBLyvgMNw

Many thanks for the listens & very kind comments!

Thanks, Rick. I love what you did with "I'm Beside Myself When I'm Beside You".
It's...ahem...'the cat's meow'.

In the meantime, I hope you're feeling fighting fit again.

Re 'I'm Beside Myself When I'm Beside You': Sure, Rick, go for it. I'll list you as collaborator. (I hope you're feeling better. Being sick sucks.)

Sorry to spam up your sound board, but I came back to listen to our song again. It still blows me away and I just wanted to say thanks again : )

Not just a bass line line in a minor key, a bass line in the key of Am! I do love Am. Thanks for the comment.

Hey, thanks for listening to and commenting on "Mississippi Witch". I'm gonna try to go on a FAWM listening/commenting spree during the next few days, so I'll check your stuff out (sigh ...wish I had more free time ...).

Hint: the Mississippi witch has her OWN television network.

Thanks for checking out my song "The Time is Now". I think, not only is the line a nod to Lemmy, but my whole singing style is!

Thank Rick! Being compared to the Kinks is the highest possible praise. The genius there is all Tina's, alas.

Rick, thanks muchly for the comment on Explorers. It's very appreciated. Strange you should mention Smile - I was listening pretty intently to the complete 5-disc box set of the Smile sessions just before FAWM started. Guess some of it must have rubbed off? I love that stuff, so that's a very large compliment indeed. Thanks again.

Thanks for your compliments about my song; cat-on-a-barbed-wire-fence definitely sums up the sound

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately the sound card on my work computer doesn't work (I think they knew better than to give me one that does), but I'll be back to listen to your songs soon. How could I not be with a title like "It's not a song (It's just my life, babe)." Consider me thoroughly intrigued.

Hi Rick, just got the chance to listen and I don't know what to say. The original song title was something I stole from Calum so it gave me a starting point. The modifications that you made really improved the lyrics. The song so awesome. Thank you so much, I appreciate what you did.
