crash of rhinos? lol they played here two week ago, but I missed the gig :(

Lovely.

why? :)

I use a Mex California Series Fat Tele and MIJ 72' Custom reissue. And yep, we have 2 bassists. Keep your eye out for one of the new Chinese made Sound City heads / combos - discontinued now but pretty great sound for the price if you can pick one up.

that sounds fantastic! the new raein album is absolutely awesome in every way possible.

Dude, these Invalids guys are insane. They remind me of the Promise Ring a little bit, at the beginning, they're so harmonic, and I don't know what all else. I'm ghostwriting and my deadline is in nineteen hours, but I'm probably about to take a nap. I've been drinking Big Flats Light while I watch movies or Al Jaz; the Light is new to me, and it's like just way more hoppy and skunky with less malt, and I like it. Have you seen this movie? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV_3Dpw-BRY&ob=av3e You should if you haven't.

Mike, have you ever drank Buckfast?

Mate those songs are buskit & boun, especially the longer one, so pretty. I just listened to them five times each before I started getting nostalgic. You guys belong together. And what does he do, he was singing right? You sound so clean and youthful and...I don't know, just summery and like smoking weed in high school. When you change don't change drastically, ok? Because you sound exactly the same almost, so I expect you to just snap at some interval, but it's a good sound. I can tell that you put a lot into the production too, like almost as much as they put into Taylor Swift. Summarily your band is sick as sin. And no, I haven't found anything good lately. All I listen to is brostep that's at least 80% wubz and even I think it's pretty much a dead genre.

heyy man thanks for the add, even though we dont have too much in common! heheh :)

Hey dude, thanks! I use a Fender Tele with a humbucker on the neck through a 1972 Matamp GT120 and a home built 4x12 with 2 celestion and 2 HH speakers opposing each other diagonally, Biff uses a Fender Tele with a neck single coil through a Marshall JCM800 into a Marshall 4x12. I have a custom made boost to drive the clean sound a little and biff has an EXH LPB-1 for the same purpose. Both of us use Boss Blues Driver pedals for main distortion.

Good, mate, good. It was 31 degrees today and I'm about ready for a ripe tomato. Are you be watching Game of Thrones? It's so good. Have you made anything totally brill lately? How are you?

oh man your charts are pretty varied as it is, I would only fail in trying to advise you but i'll throw some out there Face Candya Eyedea and abilities piglet two gallants SMK The microphones portico quartet. have a bish bash bosh with yer earz

the past creeps up like an infected thumb.. i thought a piece of me was missing. Stop biting into my carbo goodness

are you the same stingray that killed steve irwin?

No idea sorry.

Cancelled :(

Hello Mikestingray, you might be interested in this - The Cast of Cheers at the Cockpit in January. http://www.songkick.com/concerts/11114993-cast-of-cheers-at-cockpit-3

Bloody hell, I be having a boring fucking life right now, m8. I have so much free time that I'm about to read a book. How is it going with you?

That's true, people keeps listening the same always, never opening their mind to something new, to something big, to something better I hope I could be someday good enough to open is eyes with and musical explosion! 10 years playing bass, OMG, I'm in music just 5 year, starting with guitar, then piano, then bass. I really hope your band go ahead an reach something worthfull, you can do it Keep making you perfect musica, ah, and please, upload your songs to youtube, then I can promote them a bit! (sorry about my english) Take care!

I'm trying too to make a live band. I hope you succeed, and one day play the two bands in a gig, hahaha. BTW, I've downloaded the songs from your soundcloud, just two things; 1º Fix the ID3 label, are wrong. I've been scrobbling Jovian like 20 times, but the ID3 label don't scrobble it. 2º Upload the songs in MP3, not in WAVE, In my honest opinion, WAVE is much heavier than MP3, and I really advice you to upload all the songs with fixed ID3 in Mp3! Take care, keep creating, your music is unique!

Really nice, you should make your music famous!! ''It's futile x4'' Good lyyyyyrics

I really like that one. The beat is kind of typical of your stuff but the lyrics and whatever is going on with the guitar are especially nice. I liked the one of your band too, have you all recorded any more?

Do you remember me? you are from jokers are wild? i've been so many days listening to jovian, is one of the best songs i've heard!

I always want to find new stuff that is quiet, low, minimal and repetitive, maybe a little piano or steel guitar. Somnolent, meditative stuff, you know what I mean? I would love to hear your take on that. I tore the shelves out of my chiffarobe on Wednesday and made it into a growbox to overwinter tomato clones. It made me so happy. You could grow plants in anything, really, if it was tall enough. This is a pretty good surf rock comp you might enjoy: http://www.sendspace.com/file/adk22g

Or, you know, any number of old emo bands.

When you had the overdrive or whatever, I thought that was very appropriate. It reminds me of At the Drive-In.

But yeah, thanks for gracing that genre that I was talking about. You should do it again. I don't know why I think it's different than your other songs except for that repetitive rhythm. I love that.

I've not been doing shit lately but listening to wubz all the time. I haven't even touched my sarangi in about a week. I'm enjoying the fuck out of this slow song. It's an example of the kind of instrumental or post-rock, if you will, that's the only other genre I've really been proactively listening to in the past few months. I really like the song on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TJjjZ9yGw

I liked the vocals on this better. I like the way they went along to the beat, like you were sort of surfing or boogie-boarding on it. They were more integrated into the song, too. Have you tried to sing any different ways before? Not that this way is bad, but you sound like you could use some confidence a little. I like the lyrics because they kind clash well with the tone of the song and everything, but then don't clash with it either. I mean, it's a meta-musical little scene/narrative, and it's hard to pay attention to what you're saying with the rest of the song the way it is, but when you do it's interesting. Do you mean 15-20 layers at once or at all? Here is what my sarangi could sound like, if I could play it well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4WtjnMDOLg

sup, sorry it's taken me a million years to reply. i'm a laze. yeah, i well wanted to go to tramlines, pretty gay but next week will be fucking awesome! can't wait to see my bessies from home rosa valle. i think theres a nation after party? might hop along to that after if i'm not too skint. YEAH ENVY! was speaking to alec about it, going to pick us up some tickets this week, you deffs going? x

That song is effervescent and just perpetually cool and refreshing like swimming through a big waterfall. How many layers did it have at the most? It felt complex in the middle.

I love that song man. It is very emo but in a great way. A couple weeks ago I bought a sarangi identical to this one: http://guitarkadia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/sarangi.jpg I need to find someone to teach me. I was also a cable guy for a while.

pfft, tell me about it pal! been partying to the max this summer, everythings a rum/gin haze! i went to see black breath in manchester and it was un-fucking-real! did you hear melvins are playing brude? so stoked for that show- if only it was big business supporting. cry. going to bestival in two weeks to get my ultimate hippy on, dj shadow. orgasmix xx

thats quite funny. how are you mike? just kicking back, maxin'

I just saw your post on the TTT page - the guitarist uses a Digitech Whammy, sending the pitch up an octave or two in places :)

Hello! Yeah, I'd love to see Cast of Cheers. Fingers crossed there will be some interesting bookings for Brainwash festival in Leeds this year. LITE are already confirmed - who are really good if you've not heard them. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=174651565931366

I like it man. It sounds summery like all your stuff. I like the one guitar, the lead or whatever, sounds rippley. Your voice is full-bodied but it also sounds kind of awkward. Bullllllshiiiiiiiitttt. I thought the cough was like a really nice nourishing garnish.

oh hey

What's your opinion on James Blake?

your prof.pic is immense.

I want to start producing, but I only have half a gig of ram.

How have you been?

I've had a different computer since I've responded to you last. I've been very distracted. I really love both of the songs you sent me, which sound emo as fuck, in the best way. I enjoy this whole project, really, and these are just teleologically better.

12 hours?! thats mental. how did you get those hours? get it over.

stefan started me off. its some work for james burnage. its oscillators with some really reverbed pianos. might keep making it. its pretty easy and its endless haha. yeah man, i dont finish til the 10th though.
