"I reckon that it was genius...It was brilliant, I love Field because he doesn't sound like anything I've heard of really, it sounds completely new...Just excellent, excellent, excellent stuff." -Laurence Beveridge, Dave Chapman & Jordan Thomas, Recharged Radio
"Field is just that: full of open spaces and possibility. It's sincere without being syrupy and intimate without being self-conscious. It's also subversively funny...watch his video for "I'm The Enforcer" as Berger (torso only) walks through the streets of L.A., enforcing kindness everywhere he goes. He's a one-man-bedroom-band-musical-stimulus package." -Shawn Amos, GetBack
Greetings to Spencer! I forgot to mention that you have a lovely voice indeed. I am now intrigued like a unknown clad of moving mist! Thank you for your friendship. Have a happening Thanksgiving!
I am glad you accidentally stumbled onto my page because your music is great! I often hope to find music on myspace that is new and interesting sounding; mostly I don't experience that. You, however, have made my day. THank YOu. :)
Thanks for being my friend! Hope you like the tunes =) Please send me a message and let me know what you think! If you get a chance, please check out my band, Lights On Fire (www.myspace.com/lightsonfireband)! We'd love to know what you think! Lots of love, Joyce
