Author: hardvoltnine on December 26 2006
--> Iva, I'm sorry for walking out on you at the bar the other night. Why did I escalate my feelings into action, when I could have just told you I thought you were being rude.

Later smoked a cig with a bum in the subway station. He said that he'd been arrested for smoking there before. Then I tried to convince him that he should start playing drums again and devote his life to music. He was the same age as my father, and I showed him my favorite Monkees song on my eye pod.

hope you enjoy, I knowingly ignored alot of my usual mixing/matering styles.

yeah, even the synth sounding bass is actually my bass guitar through a distortion pedal, then I cut and chopped in sound forge. If you listen to it enough times, you can hear her saying that I'm a complete asshole. I hate being an asshole, even when I'm sorry for being an asshole.

This is awesome! The acoustic guitar with the sawtooth sounding bass pedal are a great fit. The composition is interesting. I love the way you chopped your vocals up.

Your voice vaguely sounds like Lane Staley during the vocal harmonies, which is cool since it seems to have happened as an artifact of the way you chopped up and layered your voice.

thx jdg, I know the mix is wierd.

I actually did something really weird with the volume. after mix down I upped the first part before the bass comes in about 5db with a hard cut when the bass comes in. If the bass is really ducking the track, don't judge it from the beginning transition, I intentionally pooped on it there. I might put it back to normal.
