thank you thank you thank you for adding a new music stromp and some videos to your website. you have no idea how long i've been waiting for something new to see and listen too. much respect and adoration...yours truely
True that. Avian slow core. :D Sneaky flutes and birds of a feather, especially ostriches, go together. (Not the bird “flew” or worse, bird flu. :D) Hmmm, maybe it’s time for some “sneaky lute” music? After all, the lute was the precursor to the guitar. :D Swirlies cover album? SHWEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!! Gonna look into that!!!! (o:
Smoking in caves can cause suffocation. So I don't like to risk it. Could a sneaky flute be used as a smoking device? Maybe the "smoking" members of the band have an idea what it'd be like. Probably just the same mild unnecessary buzz. Just get drunk instead.
i asked a gas attendant in Idaho, "how far to 'butt', montana?" "oh you mean, 'beyute'." i blushed, kinda.
well at least i didn't say "butty".
yo, if i knew this was gonna take forever to come out i would have worked on the songs a lot more carefully. "her life..." is pretty cool though.
never rush again.
the main reason i have no new songs. i've out grown my resources. every riff turns into 20... i want to have the space to explore and to see how that goes. meaning i need a better computer. i have basically everything else.
arrgh.
i should just go back to tape on tape on tape on tape....
