Thank you for the comment on Lights Out. I'm glad I rediscovered in time. I regret my listening has been appalling this year. Next year!

thank you for your feedback- yes sometimes my creativity runs ahead of my ability to google translate- and sometimes it is best to leave it alone then. Bad news in many languages. I sometimes think creators are messenger guys(willing or unwillingly) because we are so open and receptive to the world around us. May all these problems also pass!

Thanks for your nice comment on Biting My Tongue - I really ought to do some proper words for it as soon as I get some inspiration.

100 is insane! Smashed it out of the park 💯

Love so much of your stuff, just wish I'd had more time to listen more than once to a lot of them and comment more etc :)

You have a great ear and skills ☆ definitely up for more collabs in future ✓

Thank you for commenting on Sights On!

Hey, thanks for the comment on my track "the last time i saw you", really appreciatie it. Would love to collab or just talk music some time. my mail is nightlights1997@gmail, but i'm more likely to respond on insta @nightlights_nl. Btw i'm bad at reaching out to people, so if you don't hear from me it's nothing personal haha. feel free to reach out yourself if you want to! thanks again

Summer Blue sounding 👌 now. But more importantly…. 💯🤯👏🎉

Had to check in before midnight to see if you made 100. .

You are mad man, love it.

Dude. You 3 away from 100.

i havent seen the recut in sequence version of the godfather either..but i disliked the editing of part 3 into the godfather coda. great work as usual this season, thank you for so much music and so many words.

Thank you so much guys!! I will!

Congrats on 84!!! I really liked what you said in the forums: "thanks for fostering a beautiful community". I second that. I follow both you and Travis on SoundCloud. Next time I go to a concert in Indy, I'll message to see if by the off chance you & yours are also there!! Likewise, I'm in the greater Day/Cincy area !! Keep rocking

Thanx for your comment on my Armageddon rant! I stole that intro from an old Amway conference LP I picked up somewhere. The Bloomington connection is just a coincidence, I swear! 😀

Glad you like it!
You made 83 tracks! Crazy! 😮

Thank you loads. I loved playing bass alonside those two geniuses (genii?)
The piano samples (radioactive) are here (on special offer at the moment):

Ok, let's be best buds! 😀

Nope - not the temptin' Tempatations. It's a song from the 70s that has the same title as that of a diminutive genius.

Thx man...You are having tons of fun, 76 songs...awesome!

MegaMinds think alike!

Nahlej, So great to hear your compliments on Not Your Kind of Guy. I love the way Gwyn and Georgie ran with this one. It's even better than I imagined! Thanks!

there is a piece i had planned to do, but as it turned out i only like the first few lines of it, but those lines are so good...if you wanted to out together something moody that would erupt into pure horror after 45 seconds, i would love to squueze it in. here is the part i will be doing in those first 45 seconds........

Tis now the very witching time of night
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on

let me know if you are interested

Thx bro..I love working with CTS and the MegaMind gang.
70 songs.wow!!

Thanks for the kind comments on @richaaaay 's "Cerulean Blues", Nahlej, as well as being so generous about my meager efforts. :)

Your mixes are dope............end of convo!!!

Just an additional thought: BAMF! is also the sound fx used in the X-Men comics whenever Nightcrawler teleported.

I didn't know you cared ha ha :-) but guess who is on the winners list now woop woop its celebration time!

I wasn’t sure what a BAMF was, so I looked it up. Thanks, man!! 🤘✌️😀

Thank you for stopping by and listening to some of my songs. Much appreciated.

Many thanks, Nahlej, for the kind words about Second Look. Most encouraging.

Thx man....your killing it this 5090.

Wow...

Man you got 50 already!!! You been churning out this much gold and there's still a whole month to go!
And I put Armisen's stand-up special in my Netflix queue.

I'll get on it.

Congratulations on the win…soooo no winner’s cup this year? Well, that’s a bit of a bummer, but just know that you are straight killing it and I have feeling you ain’t done.

Yes. A noise track. Who's gonna start?

“Kate’s just out here dropping vocals of mass destruction as per usual.”
Hey Hoosier! This comment made my day 🎉 Thanks friend!

Thanks so much, my friend. You've got the chops to catch anything I'm missing. If it's easier you just email me. I can also send you a list with all the songs . Anything you need to make it easier for you, because every minute you spend will make it easier for me! :)

Yeah, that would be awesome, although if you are near Indianapolis that's like a nine hour drive from my headquarters here at Fuzzy Sound Labs.... 😀

Howdy nahlej and thanks for reviewing "Sierra Mountain Moon".

I mean, you trying to hop on 'Splittyboombap' or nah?

All the titles for the sample wars are so good btw! Real attention grabbers

Thanks for your Thumbs Up on Broken. It was such a treat to be able to work with David on this. I thought he did a great job, and I'm glad you liked it.

Dude, you can use anything you like! You should be able to download any of them from Soundcloud, but if you need anything (or any isolated tracks) let me know soon as I’m away for a week from end of tomorrow ☀️🏖

Of *course* I like Django!
He's right up there with Tony Iommi on my "Top Ten List Of Guitarists Who Are Missing Fingers"!! 😀

looking forward to those lyrics. you write some of the best ive heard,

Ha! I wouldn’t dare. I know when I’m outgunned!

Any rules of engagement in these Sample Wars between you and @djtjb? Or is it you two against the world? You two against...The Man? Do vocal samples count?

Thank you 🤘 I just took my guitar and vented with no particular plan. My right hand hurt after two takes.

Did you guys see the Bob Ross documentary? Tragic.

Ah, Mystery Science Theater! I just didn't get the shortform. It's something I have always meant to check out! Now I gotta convince Mrs. Fuzzy to watch it with me....

Thanks for explaining! Dude I have to learn how to operate a drum machine. I'm used to work with VSTs with predefined mapping or individual samples dragging 100 instances into the arrangement and doing the pitch shift with an external software. Maybe drum machines allow you to set cue points, adsr, pitch shift and all that tasty stuff! Last time I did some sampling work I cut all on a common DAW track and went completely bonkers automating the effects so I exported and chopped 😅 seems to be a nice project for next year...

I believe the same ✨✨✨🙏

Sadly, I just announced in the forum cancellation of the GIMME15 that was running right now. If there's another one this Summer I'll announce it and let you know personally. But if it is, it won't be till sometime in September after I finish WK100 and take a break. It's been a big tough Summer for me. Hugs, my friend on your sad day.

So glad you liked the vintage feel of Come Back. I am very happy with what David did with these lyrics. So much fun to listen to!

TCM1 and to a slightly lesser extent TCM2 are cinematic works of art. One could run a semester (maybe 2) of classes to the clueless about what Tobe achieved. An masterpiece in the medium.

yay, drop me an email and we can arrange a brainstorm as i have no ideas atm! wobbie at wobbiewobbit.com

give me a shout re our collab!

Hey thanks for the awesome comment on Bulls!! Can't wait to check out more of your tunes, your collab with David is still one of my favorites this year.

Replied, and I put in an extra special request for good measure.

email sent

Short song or Cheese might work for something...from my page... onward.

Hey, thanks for the kind words on NCC-5090! 😊 So good to hear from other Trekkies that I managed to hit the Star Trek sound. 😄 Sadly, I've never learned Klingon, so I won't be much help on that part of your concept album. But maybe hit me up in case you need another theme for it?! 😉

Sure!! We have through September, so that sounds super fun! I’m working on some other collabs, but I’ll start daydreaming!

I often go to Indy for concerts! Hello my Hoosier pals👋From a Buckeye!

Ask Jeeves? Y’all went waaayyyyyyyy back in the day. Wow, dude!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the draft. There's still a lot to do 😀

Thx..I knew you like that delay. Not that easy to get a great match but when you do ..it sounds great.

"Afflicted By Nihilism".
Sounds like a song title to me!

Thanx for the Comment!
I'm actually a pretty upbeat person, so I'm not sure where these dark tracks come from!
I think my subconscious is trying to tell me something! 😀

Thanks for dropping in for a quick listen. The Spanish guitar? I think your versions of the story should be used in the history books: A renowned luthier, using only materials salvaged from buildings emotionally relevant to the customer, crafted this very guitar. Truth is obvious incredibly mundane.

A dolphin’s butthole, eh? I’m just gonna set my cup of coffee down right here.
*cts backs out the door slowly*

Thanx for the comment.
#analogsloth; I like it!
I'm finding Slothcore to be a really flexible genre; last summer I did an entirely a cappella Slothcore track as well as a totally acoustic one.

I have not forgotten about the collab.
Just trying to come up with a good story!

thank you for your comments on 'Reverse' - high five, fellow Stranger Things enthusiast. What did you think of volume 2?

Thank you so much for your comments on Broken. I was blown away by what David did with my lyrics!

Thanks for your comments on Every Time I Think of You!

Oh, I thought it was great. I wrote it for you, in fact...and knew the style and the kind of music you did. Thanks...glad you liked it.

cool

Hey, lyric work for you? If not, I'll write something less complex...David

Hey,
Thanks for collabing on ‘till 4am’ - it’s sounding very polished and radio ready, especially loving the transitions between the different sections! It’s definitely a BANGER and full of catchy hooks thanks to @spazsquatch’s magic. Thanks for taking the time to add music, and bringing the party :)

Haha, oh go on then.... ;)

Thanks, man for the listen. I'm going to revisit this at some point. My vocal riffs are slightly off and I realize that I didn't correct the bass notes in the verses. All in all, I dig this and was more striving to give Jessica's lyrics a different feel. I heard EWF and I think I nailed their signature harmony sound with the chorus. Well, one more collab and then it's time for MEGA MIND!!

Thanks for coming by and checking out "Look Sharp", glad you liked it!

Oh yea, I love Ass Ponys!! My fav Cincy treasure tho is the husband and wife duo Over the Rhine. Karin’s voice is 🙌✨🙌

Ha, that makes sense, I've never been sure what genre Primus is.

Still down. You or you two. Either or. Feel free as well, of course. Delete/edit/arrange/whatever....Onward.

Hey, see if you two want to mess with the lyric I just posted ..it's rather out there...I can always write something else for you ...Misunderstanding on the road

mctownmusic@gmail.com me

?

So, you are up for collaborations? I usually do lyric first. You two ready?

Howdy nahlej381. Thanks for your comments. Ref, my spoken-word, I'm super picky. No issues, causes, politics, religion, foul words, wrong messages, etc. Gotta be clean and to my liking. So, what's in mind? I'll evaluate and hopefully give it a GO!

Your comment on my song "Daytime Nightcap" has me chuckling and grinning ear to ear. Glad it connected with you!

Always.
It's my default setting.

You asked me if could do something on a song - i don't even remember what you wanted but the answer is a standing yes whenever you want me to do something musically, dude.
Man you pumping these tracks out...I'm so far behind in listening

Thanks for your supportive comment on Fireflies - it means a great deal. In truth I'm so impressed with your rhymes and wordplay (and everything else really) that I feel slightly starstruck!

Thanks so much for your comment on Radio John - I LOVE Laurie Anderson, what a compliment!

30 min drive from I-70 into Indiana. No kidding!! A small world :)

Thanks for your comment on I'm Junk :-)

Hi! Thanks for the comment on my song from the multiverse. :P

Nahlej, thank you so much for commenting on my lyrics.

Thanks, kindly for the nice comments on "I Hate Love". Look forward to checking out your work.

Thanks for your comments on The Call of the Void. I think having these thoughts are more common than one might think. It must be an interesting experience.

Heeeeeeellllo. Maybe a little bit. But having done a quick listen, I think it’s more a vibe thing than a getting sued by Lionel R thing. Having said that, let’s just take a moment to respect what a frickin’ phenomenal song Hello is, and that Lionel has one of the best pop voices ever. Plus great hair. What a dude!

So glad you liked I Hate Love. It was a fun one to do…and Jeff is so great to work with. Thanks for the comment on the “platonic friendship” line. writing stuff like that is fun. PS. I LOVED Little Bird! Superb!

I think we're listening in tandem 😂 . Telepathy or something. We should do a zoom listening session some time this 5090. Might be fun?

Cowboy coffee is the bee's knee's. I cheat and have a french press now though.

Sorry to disappoint my man. Main problem has been this damn virus/illness shit. Means I can't do vocals. Going to give it a go today though, so wish me luck! I have two or three backing tracks for songs, so haven't been completely idle 😉

Thank you! Hehe I don't have pets and it's super calm here. It's quite hard to spot when you're off timing without looking into the DAW. I wish I could fix the timing post recording, but I don't understand my tools. Spent 2 hours inserting hit points that were corrected wrong, tried with another tool and it ended up in a mess. So I gave up and reverted. That's the real recording where I speed up and lost some triplets. Thus I have no idea how to program drums or other cause I need nearly perfect timing. I work with MIDI and grids. I feel like I need months and years to have an okayish timing to record something for real. Piano is MIDI but I still speed up. Sigh...

a punk collab sounds good to me. where do we start?

i played the punk clubs in seattle from 78 to 81, but had been doing the same sort of thing in self-produced shows since 73. istarted following hip-hop in 83 after seeing the movie Wild Style. and later rap with NWA, Paris, and Public Enemy.

Bro I was just checking your page to see what links you had attached to your profile. Now I am finally bumping Zugzwang all the way through and HOT DAMN!!! Did it come out fire or what? You and @djtjb wrecked it dude!

Yo! I’m up for collaborating, not sure when I will make a start this 50/90… in years gone by the most I’ve managed is like 10 or so….

Thanks, check your mailbox !

Another GIMME15? https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/forums/86

Thanks for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed my little outburst 😂 I'm sorry for making you hungry! As for collab - Where can I write you? I miss that mail button here...

Hey, yes, I’d love to collab! Let’s get it started — j.reed715@gmail.com

My pleasure! The multi-collab thing has been on the TODO list for a long time, but it took finally rewriting everything from scratch to finally get it done. 😄 have a happy and productive 5090!

i was joking about the substance abuse...and the substance i referred to was the
substance of the substantial lyric.

Yep yep - send ‘em on over 👍

Of course I’m ready….

Haha I forgot about the dishwasher!
Yeah, just let me know what and when and we'll get sorted!

yeah sure i am up for a collab...

I still like the version with your bass, especially the chorus. I just didn't like the keys I laid down lol

Patience, my friend. Got the first edition going out late 2069...

Just reading your gear list going uh huh, mmm hmm, yep!!! So badass! To be a fly on the wall in THAT room while you’re creating 😍

Let’s do something cool and retro 90’s this summer!

let's get it.

…don’t tempt me! LOL!! No, seriously - don’t tempt me.

I’m in the office all this week (which sucks) and I really can’t make things happen until the weekend if not sooner. You’re already off and running I see. Excellent - something to strive for. I’ll be listening to these tunes this evening once I’m in my abode away from all this office noise.

Hey, guy, how's it goin?
Possibly more collabs in the future?

I've seen those passerelle things(first time I saw something like that was an old blues player that would just stick his slide up around the 14th or 15th fret) and was actually the inspiration to my newest thing. I just used a regular roller bridge and there is a pickup on each side of it. It took a lot of trial and error to get just the right spot, but I can tune the six string into four different triads and do all sorts of fun bendy stuff. It's the "clean" guitar in my first tune this summer. It picks up all sorts of interference though and was a pain in the ass to get grounded since I used an old ammo can for the "body" It's quite ugly and I've had a blast with it. I'll post a picture later. I bet that shallow water will be amazing on some drums. I went and listened to a brief little demo of one. Really intriguing pedal.

Those MPC's look sweet. I've been looking for a sampler/drum machine just to compliment my e-kit. The older ones I'm familiar with are now "vintage" and expensive, and yeah the new ones look like they'll take me two years to wrap my head around and will do more than I'll ever want to do with one... I'll find something that grabs me eventually.

*waves* How do you like that shallow water pedal? I've been told I would love it, though I've not heard one yet. I hate watching pedal demos they just give me GAS. I've had a ring modulator made by them and played one of their fuzzes that was an absolute beast, they make good stuff.

We'll have to try to get together on something this summer.
