Do You Know What Film Theorists Are Like? is probably the greatest song you've ever recorded.
Well on a traditional album the last four tracks would be considered "secret tracks" and yeah it seems incredibly silly now and this'll probably be the last time I do this.
track 14 is technically the "last track" with the other four being bonuses or as I like to call them, thematic entrails.
What's up with the blank tracks?
Magic horses!
"Lyrical Sunday" rules, duh :)
"Washer Ghost" reminds me of "Bungalow Bill" by The Beatles for some reason. I also really like "I Wish I Could Write Good Songs" and "I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING" lots. "Fotography Girl" is cute. Reminds me of a song I wrote years ago called "Coffeeshop Girl." Great job on this one. I geniunely enjoyed all three of these records with STORM OF THE CENTURY probably being my favorite. It seems to have some more 'pop' to it, but I really like how much you've branched out and tried new things. And clearly, you've been influenced by your friends and favorite bands :) Thumbs up, brother!
wow I totally fell asleep in the middle of uploading these songs.
Hey Russ, I had to meet my dad to get a hair cut and a shave so I didn't have time to do the tracks individually, but I'll do em now.
Aw! Thank you, Stephen! I'll let you know what I think of all three of them real soon.
The songs aren't loading in the player. Did you upload the individual tracks or just the zip files for these three albums?
Oh and I've totally read Althusser in a bunch of classes.
Magic horses!
