Thanks for accepting my request! I really do enjoy everything you do. It was upsetting to see good music removed from Youtube.

Please, host your cover of Misfits "Hybrid Moments" somewhere. I searched the interenet all over for that one. No luck.

I've had your cover of Unravel for about a year now, but I just realised, just a few minutes ago, why I think it is so effective: because you get across the feeling of the song so well. The music perfectly describes that loneliness and longing she must have been feeling when she wrote it, when she sang it. The first notes are like a pang of that emotion and it's very powerful and thank you for sharing it.

its funny i intended to write an email to youtube to recommend that they feature you on their homepage because of the ammount of good videos you have and stuff. Now im kinda glad i didnt cause they would have closed you down sooner. All the best with filming and making new videos, its all good as long as the youtube police havent got you down man, just think of it this way, they closed you down cause they were afraid, you were too big for their limited vision, they will regret it someday. You can talk about it in an mtv interview.

good luck and ruefer forever

I understand your logic on Island in the Sun. Though is it now what I might consider a classic, its veering towards "Back in Black" status.

New songs? Well do you mean Weezer or songs in general? I did hear two new songs off Weezer's Red Album. "Pork and Beans" and "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived". I greatly enjoyed Pork and Beans. TGMWEL

New songs in general. I think you should do a cover of (these are just ideas) Sonic Youth's Jams Run Free or Unmade Bed. Bad Brain's I Luv I Jah. Something Bjork. Billy Idol's Eyes Without a Face. Cobra Starship's This City is at War. ELLIOTT SMITH!!! Creep Me OUT by IMA Robot. Anything Kanye or T-Pain. These Days by Nico. WHEN UNDER ETHER by PJ HARVEY. LAST STARING AT THE SUN BY TV ON THE RADIO.

I pretty much went through my ITUNES library on that last paragraph.

Good luck and I wish you success man!

I'm still in anticipation for those Weezer covers. Preferably "Island in the Sun", "This is such a Pity" or "My Name is Jonas".

i havent heard of them before but I'll be sure to look them up, glad you like homohomohomo, i made it at school in the senior common room we would all sing together and the guys and galls did percusion with spoons and an old tv, haha. In all seriousness i think that you should make an album of originals and covers just so you can look back and say i did it and thats that or something. I mean you must have loads of originals that you dont have videos for yet
