OT: Shamelessness. Really pitiful. Talking about me, of course!

If you go to http://www.macidol.com/jamroom/bands/2716/ you can stream
and/or download 2 albums of my garageband recordings as mp3s. Free!
I'd love to hear what you guys think of this stuff.

The two albums are:

1. Unseen Hand, which is an album of songs, done in styles ranging
from rock to country to folk (mostly rock), and

2. Marigolds, which is an album of... well... ditties, for lack of a
better term, that I refuse to characterize as anything but larks.

Feedback appreciated but not required...

Hey, Stiiv!

Glad you liked it. I kinda hope there was at least some of it that was
like fingernails on a chalkboard, but I'm glad that on the whole you
liked it. Did you hear a Devo influence anywhere? I was thinking
about it; I assure you it's there, but it's not entirely overt. In
which songs (if any) did you hear that I'm a huge Devo fan? I hear it
most in ..okseller and maybe Weird Scenes (etc.).

T'anx fer lissnin!

Definitely in Weird Scenes...also in the "punk" track, which was kinda
like a DEVO/DK's meld. DEVO? It's all over you!

Thanks for the feebakk Mr. Frank!

The recording setup is mindnumbingly simple -- just apple garageband, a
shure microphone with a usb adaptor, and me. Drums are generally
either midi or appleloops, some entire songs are loops (Saucer March,
for example), though I do generally try to mess 'em up, if I'm just
using samples.

Interesting that you mention that Saucer March is "sound-tracky" I
definitely have a video of that song in mind, partially described in
the "song info".

Thanks for takin' the time to check out those tracks, I had a lot of
fun making 'em.

Cheers!
