NOW ON ITUNES

I'm not really one to self promote,...however, I just completed my first full length solo record. I wrote, recorded and played every song on the album and would love some initial feedback if you're willing to listen.
Songs can be found on the page/link below .....

Thanks much!

    I liked it all, the two that really stood out to me, The Reins and Underneath Your Waves. I dug those two a bunch. I really liked the change at the 2:45 mark on The Reins going into the solo. It reminded me of something that Dave Navarro would have done on the Nothings Shocking record. ( not a rip off mind you, just reminded me of that style)

    I also like the strings on Know, you didn't over use them and kept them subtle. ( i remember having to go through and re record most of a song because i drenched the fucker in strings and it lost the entire vibe i was going for )

    good stuff, thanks for sharing.

    I liked it! I'll listen to more later and dig up my Myspace password (haven't been on there in a while) and ask to be your friend (if you'll have me!) Also, need to play it on my big old PC that has the good speakers.

    gosh when you're famous, we can say we knew you online.

    I see you are playing at Arlene's. What's that like? I think the X's used to play there and all of John Law's other bands.

    I'm no musician and I can't give you opinions like The Wolf did; I can just say I liked it :)

    Of course! Thank you!
    Arlene's is a great nyc venue. Never actually played there myself in previous bands but have attended many shows. Its down in the LES. Its featured in SNL intros.

    Thanks for listening and for the thumbs up. I'm expecting my shipment of hard copies within the next week or so and can send them out if anyone wants. Will also be on itunes etc etc.

    I'm listening on itunes now....good stuff man. I like what I hear in the previews and will be downloading I do believe. Good work
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
