Matt Blick

Thanks for the comments on Roadkill Matt, I head my head down going for the line which hopefully explains a) my really lofi demos and b) why I took so long in getting back to say thanks :)

Nice Groove, very well performed. Thanks for sharing!

I just listened to your song Never Be Silent, Awesome in a word! Thanks 4 sharing your faith!

Oh, and thanks for the comment on my ExC bit too--since what Roddy sent me was more or less just a found sound collage, that's kind of what I had to build on, and it seemed like a good excuse to learn how to work with loops a bit.

You are the man...I like the new mix woooooooooooooo

No, it's really only one droning chord, and if you hear anything other than that, I suspect an auditory hallucination. :) (You are correct, of course, since there are all sorts of suspensions and whatnot going on, but even all those other one chord songs have that sort of thing going on...except for, perhaps, Electric Avenue, perhaps...)

Thanks for coming by to try and listen. :/ It should work, dunno why it didn't. Here's a direct link if that is any better:

Heya, thanks for comments.. I am new to garageband and its taking me a while to get my head around.. also I'm a bit lazy with getting things perfectly in tune and in time which makes it sound sloppy and unprofessional! I'm worried that you can id the loops though!

I'm sorry about the offending word in, pray for you.. buts its not 4 letters and I guess I was trying to be current.. and pop music these days is a bit like that..

I saw your Beatles blog.. amazing stuff. I wish I had time to study longer.. I could put Beatles chords in my songs! I have the "songwriting secrets of the Beatles" which is very complicated - I'm saving reading it for a treat when I have some more time. Have you seen that book? It goes through each trick they use in depth..

keep on with the music :D

'In an alternative universe your record company is pushing for this to be the first single off your album'

Haha! Yeah, that song is a little more major key. But you know, in 5/4 so I'm not being toooo pop.

I was more attempting to rip off Radiohead without sounding to Radiohead.

Ah interesting to read It Bites in your influences. A criminally under-appreciated band. Probably because first single "Calling All The Heroes" (chosen by the record company probably) was totally unrepresentative of their output. I didn't like that song. Next thing I heard by them was "Once Around The World" (song) which rather changed my perception! And Frank Dunnery - what an incredible guitarist.

Again, thanks for the listens and the comments, Matt! I'm about to break my rule about using the same set-up...given that I've had zero time in the last 5 days to record...might have to do some electronica at the office or something, to keep the numbers up! :)

Sorry man, completely forgot about that, I've been run off my feet for the last few months and havent got round to doing anything, but I'll get on the case.... Not sure ill even get close to 50, but if i can churn out another albumsworth, I'll be happy!!

all the best
Stu

You made it! (After reading your blog I wondered if you would join the club). I'm glad you did + nice pic! (is it an historical Ipod you're holding?).
