Outcry From An Outcropping Pt 2 - Basement Ghost

^ All the nine songs in the 'covers' folder managed to be unzipped (engine, fog, first day of my life, i felt my size, in the aeroplane over the sea, red right ankle by Basement Ghost [that's u right? :D ]; and baby blue sedan, bankrupt on selling, other people's lives by bordem [your band? :P]). The 'post-rock' folder, I've only managed to unzip "a circle has one side" and "outcry from an outcropping pt 2". I really love both these songs... Actually it's a shame I can't hear all the files in that folder, I rather fancy I'd like them better than those from 'Covers'. I would appreciate it very much if you'd care to resend 'post-rock'... Your guitar playing's the strong point I'd say, you're astonishingly good :o Some constructive criticism? You're better than most amateur/non-commercial musician aspirants I've heard. Even better than many of the local bands here who've signed deals. The guitar work is your strongest point, while the singing & songwriting are good enough. But I'd say at some points the vocals needs reigning in (e.g. all the "oh yeah..."s in the last 2 minutes of other people's lives- sorry but they're cringe-inducing :P), and generally the songs would do better with more direction (i.e. tighter editing or having ideas that're more developed--> variations maybe?) - some songs just sound a wee bit too long.

Potentially explosive question... but any theories on why Jonny's (and in general how come some apparently happy couples in 'the west' are) not married? I mean his kind of situation's rare over here in Asia, especially since both of them seem committed and I'd rate their relationship as stable...

Thanks... Nope I haven't exactly. miracledrug83 says he's got 2 extra GA tickets and that I can have 'em if his family/friends pass 'em on... He says they're not fans :o :P Lucky for me... *prays very hard none of them sudddenly get bitten by the CP bug* :lol: So if everything goes well, I'll be seeing them on 23/06/2006 on me b'dayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

E-Street Band (and Bruce Springsteen? :P :lol: )

^ You guys definitely do... Brisbane 23/06/2006 woooooo!!!!!!! :guitarist:

Aargh! It's an mp3 player. I can't play it :rolleyes: Why did it have to be mp3? Why???? :bigcry:

i know you're a cynic and i usually am too but with coldplay yes, i would be surprised :stunned: I'm with you Kekita. Frankly, I would be surprised, not to mention have my faith in the band totally destroyed after all their pronouncements on the subject... especially since now they've become far too big to qualify as "desperate" (as Chris has put it before).

Hey... Looks like it's someone's birthday... *Shhh* Aww, I can't take the suspense anymore... [scroll:b6bf5c7408][glow=blue:b6bf5c7408]Happy birthday[/glow:b6bf5c7408] [glow=purple:b6bf5c7408]Ted[/glow:b6bf5c7408][glow=blue:b6bf5c7408]!!! :jester: :juggle: :crown:[/glow:b6bf5c7408][/scroll:b6bf5c7408] :D Hope it's a good one for you

What? And X&Y's already been released? When? I thought they were still in the studios... And OMG, Chris has a child named Apple??? :o :lol: Thanks Luigio, u made my day

Haha... Missed all the conversation above... Didn't catch that Gail was going. What d'you do usually?
