| The Best Selling Textbook of All Time by KDMan | 1 month ago |
| We are students of one another, I suppose. Next project: a song about Deduction. | |
| Magnetic Philosopher by ponkey | 3 months ago |
| This is not a magnet, but a lapel pin. Still, it is my favorite of all time: MY KARMA RAN OVER MY DOGMA |
|
| How? by subway | 6 months ago |
This sounds like a promising number. I'd like to hear this song after you've cleaned it up and wrung it out a bit. Welcome to iCompositions! |
|
| OTM: I couldn't tell you by ponkey | 9 months ago |
| Wow, this is beautiful. | |
| EUROTRASH GIRL by Dylan | 10 months ago |
| You are all living lives of wretched excess, debauchery and debasement. Damn you lucky stiffs. |
|
| We're All Naked by KDMan | 1 year ago |
| Thanks, ponkey, I'll adjust the recording and repost soon. I knew it could be improved, so I'm glad for the tip. | |
| Yonder Comes The Blues LIVE VIDEO by ziti | 1 year ago |
| Sometimes the simple things are the most beautiful, like a blues man on a stool with a guitar. This has a nice, live club feel. I imagine some cheesy curtains in the back, a little smoke in the air, some ambient kitchen sounds. | |
| Applications Blues by KDMan | 1 year ago |
| kdfan, by placing my music on this site, I am ASKING for constructive criticism. It is clear to me that ziti knows a great deal more than I do about music production. His comments are helpful to me. Your comment is disrespectful and insulting, and I request you remove it from this song. KD |

| Strange Fruit by mbehar | 1 year ago |
| You all have honored the subject matter (and the original artists and recording) with grace and skill. | |
| We're All Naked by KDMan | 1 year ago |
I forgot how to post a link to the VOX POPS project. Here is the original music onto which I added a vocal track. http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=74021 |

 Ouch! This rocks so hard it broke my head. |

| MOSP: sleepy man (I'm gonna kill you if you don't shut up) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| Oh, and Wow! terrific remix! | |
| MOSP: sleepy man (I'm gonna kill you if you don't shut up) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| When all the voices are singing at once, I picture all the people at the party suddenly turning to the camera as one and moving in synch as they sing. Please consider this for the video. | |
| MYOT: science never satisfied by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| I like the cleverness of it. You are a darned clever fellow. | |
| MBB: Matsumoto Bon Bon (accordion version) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| I can't believe it is Matsumoto Bon Bon season again already. I haven't even gotten my decorations up. Great to know the world is still turning. |
|
| Do You Know What I Mean by BossHook | 1 year ago |
| Wow, this takes me back. Nice work. Wooo. |
|
| BS4: cucumber sandwich (live video) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| Little known fact: Although natives of the British Isles are, on average, taller than those of the Japanese isles, it is worth noting that ponkey is actually over 7 feet tall. |
|
| Feed My Head by Baboon | 1 year ago |
| Oh, yeah. |
|
| BS4: ham sandwich (live video) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| I like seeing the people out on the sidewalk going back and forth. This sort of scene plays out all over Austin every day. I am nostalgic for those times when I would be sitting inside, watching the people going back and forth, slowly soaking myself in music and beer while the sun went down. |
|
| Broken Promises by insomniac28 | 1 year ago |
| My comment: the drums might be mixed a little better (don't ask me how, it's just that persistent strike kind of gets a bit too much airplay). Sounds pretty good to me otherwise. ROCK ON |
|
| Primary Colors by AceNoface | 1 year ago |
| I don't think I've heard anything quite like this. I really like the chorus (starting with "ooh ee ooh"). It makes me feel weird, like a Sid and Marty Croft Saturday TV show. Nice work. |
|
| Holy Man by DonovanFraser | 1 year ago |
| Yes. YES! Great song, great message. |

| Good-bye by KDMan | 1 year ago |
| Y'all are too kind. Or maybe just kind enough. Thanks anyway. Gracias y/et merci. | |
| Put the Farce on its Arse by EvilFactman | 1 year ago |
| Wow, this is cool. I am imagining the vampire movie for which this is the soundtrack. | |
| Don't Know Why... by Geechi3 | 1 year ago |
| What a beauty! I could see this stretched out to several minutes. My 10-year old son listens to Enya at bedtime, and he really liked this. |

| Champagne Moonshine by osunas | 1 year ago |
| I enjoyed all the clever images, internal rhymes, etc, but in the end, it is just a really great story, well-told. Great words! | |
| ADVENT:07 whiter than white xmas (punk) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| Merry bleeding Christmas, ponkey. | |
| sleepy man (I'm gonna kill you if you don't shut up) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| This was terrific. It has the sound of something from a transistor radio in my shirt pocket in 1966. The only downside was that the verses seemed to be put there as an excuse to get back to the chorus, and I think the chorus stands alone in its unapologetic magnificence. On the other hand, maybe you need verses to rest. Whatever, nice deal. | |
| Teresa's Song by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| This is the kind of performance that should make us feel sorry for people who only get their music from the usual commercial sources. What a gift. | |
| Lust by Dylan | 2 years ago |
| This is great guys, nice treatment. As attached as I am to the lyrics, I still think the last 50 seconds is my favorite part of the song, with the piano and the guitar getting expressive and energetic. Douce. |
|
| Happy Birthday Baboon by vaporman | 2 years ago |
| I hope this greeting works in a pinch and let me add that you're really a mensch Let's hope you don't have to date Judi Dench singin' Baboon happy birthday to you! |

| The Crayon Song by conorcalabro | 2 years ago |
This is great, but I'm having a hard time discerning the lead vocal (can't understand the words). If you remix, you might consider bringing up that track. |

I've already missed most of it. I got here as soon as I could. |

| MOSP: run by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| This sounds like the last day of school to me. WHOOOOOOOOEEEEEEE! But I also agree with Teaks about the drums. Great new song, guys! |
|
| Run by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| Sounds like some great driving music. To play while driving. In a car, like. | |
| It's A Start Blues. by JohnPettybone | 2 years ago |
| P.S. I have to note: your name is obviously MADE for the blues. | |
| It's A Start Blues. by JohnPettybone | 2 years ago |
| This is indeed pretty cool. As you note, it is rough, too. Some of the loops could have been mixed in a little better. Is that harmonica loop at the beginning in the right key? Seems a little short at this stage, and could use a bridge. This is an auspicious beginning! Keep going! |
|
| My Cloud 3 (Stones cover) by TeddyC | 2 years ago |
Now this is my kind of music. VERY nice. |
|
| The Last Flower by Geechi3 | 2 years ago |
| This sounds very good to me. Your voice is amazing, and the insistent drums seem to echo that "don't push me down" sentiment. We need to make sure Geechi is on lilichi's list of dark iComp women. Smokin'! KD |
|
| (I'm in love with) a girl called Linda by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| He's in love with a girl called Geechi She's so fond of Friedrich Nietsche She reads it under a sprawling beech tree Don't let me rhyme anymore, I beseech thee... |
|
| (I'm in love with) a girl called Linda by ponkey | 2 years ago |
Superlative, phenomenal, brilliant. I especially like that with a minor change of lyrics, I can rip this off for a valentine for my wife, Linda. |
|
| Lorna Doone (KDMan cover) by Dylan | 2 years ago |
| This is what this song is SUPPOSED to sound like! Great job, Dyl. | |
| FFB:01 The Generous Briton by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| My ears are fully refreshed. I believe you captured the feeling you were going for...no one tickles the wine glasses like you do. |
|
| Honky Tonk Women by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| Well, you are all very nice, but some of those tracks could have used a few more takes. Seriously. |
|
| SATISFACTION! by Bampot | 2 years ago |
| Easy, nothing against any of your previous work (I am a fan): but I think this makes better use of your unique vocal style and serious grit than anything I've heard from you yet. Maybe you are hitting your chops. Good going, guys. |
|
| Under My Thumb (Stones cover) by joolsoakland | 2 years ago |
| Hey, I have a home life, too. Speaking of which, my wife wondered if you were inspired by Mick's former flame, Mariann Faithful. (She is putting this in her iPod.) | |
| Beast Of Burden by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| Way to go, et. | |
| Under My Thumb (Stones cover) by joolsoakland | 2 years ago |
| This is fabulous! This has a whole different tone, sounds more ironic than the original to me, sad and ironic. | |
| Friend by joolsoakland | 2 years ago |
| Wow, this is good. Could maybe pull the guitar back a teench, or maybe not. I can't help myself: this reminds me of Crosby, Still and Nash, especially the parts with multiple vocals. Really nice. |
|
| not fade away (Stone cover) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
Wait a second...this is that song by that boy from Lubbock... |
|
| V15C3R4L UND3RP1N1NG5 by vaporman | 2 years ago |
| It seems that "experimental" is a way of saying that this is actually art, in the sense of something that creates from the imagination without reference to or permission from the forces of ideology, or commercial authority. (And that's a lot of big words.) It prompts me to reexamine my values and assumptions, not about what constitutes art or music, but about reality itself. Sweet. | |
| Life of a Star by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| Bob, long time! Thanks for the B-52's comparison; I do aspire to that lo-fi experimental sound. This was all loops plus my voice, so I mostly got lucky! Everybody's fruggin'! |
|
| Stone in my Shoe by spoot | 2 years ago |
| You weren't kidding about that great sound. I like your understated lyrical style as well. | |
| Wow! This sounds awesome! by violinist | 2 years ago |
| This was a great way to start my busy day. Kind of reminds me of one of those classical movie scores. | |
| Fat Old Hugh Grant by ddball | 2 years ago |
| I am in awe. You are truly a master of the cliche form. KD | |
| Marshmallow Lullabye by ChiChi | 2 years ago |
| I am listening to this in my kitchen at 7:30 am. It is making my wife dance around. The title is great, and the tune is catchy. Great job! Keep going! | |
| My Studio by vaporman | 2 years ago |
| Time to get to work on those thin mints. Come on, tuck in. The clock is ticking. | |
| TV 10 News Theme by vaporman | 2 years ago |
| Tonight's top story... Groovy--I especially liked the last several measures which sounded like a guy in an empty studio hitting a can with a stick. With really good time. Sort of hypnotic. Maybe it is necessary to perform hypnosis before reporting news....??? |
|
| (clip for ponkey's Sleepy Man) by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| If you are so desperate for entertainment as to listen to this track, get help. Really. But for real entertainment, listen to my favorite songs, sort of over there and down---> KD |
|
| sleepy man - your ponkey needs YOU! by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| Okay, I posted "Shut Up" for this project. I hope you can sift through the catbox of my recording for useful nuggets of...something besides cat poop. I am eager to see what you put together. KD | |
| MOSP: boku wa kinseijin da (I am from Venus) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| Oh, yeah!! This demands a movie, or video, or screenplay, or at least a skimpy plot line. Super happy fun time. |

| Welcome to the club. What a nice, fresh rendition! Nice. Fresh. Mmmmm. | |
| POISON by RiGee | 2 years ago |
| Great to dance to. Auf wiedersehen, Richard! | |
| CR: the walrus song by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| I don't know why I didn't add this favorite earlier. What was I waiting for? I see bubbles and sparkles. This song is on par with pie and coffee. |

| I followed your forum request for help with the "explicit" label and got here. What serendipity! This was really fun and great to listen to. | |

| MYOT: oasis of mediocrity by ponkey | 2 years ago |
Crikey, who is it already?? I've probably never heard of them anyway... Okay, I'm leaving some stars here. Let's not call it a bribe...it's...a gratuity. |
|
| Wind & Water by messenger | 2 years ago |
| I really liked the film, especially parts that were just textural (water, trees, rocks, light and shadow). I found the ducks distracting. My favorite parts were in the opening couple of minutes, the sped-up pictures of rock, woods and water. I think the first song matched the mood of those images better than the other two. Sorry, I can't help with your iMovie issue. |
|
| The Falling Sickness by ShowGram | 2 years ago |
| (Did he say "interlapping"? You're not the only one with a license.) Yes, I also like the strange, bouncy interlappiness. This is actually unlike anything I have ever heard. This is the kind of music I want to be creating. |
|
| The Stubborn Shibboleth by ShowGram | 2 years ago |
| I'm not sure if this will communicate, but this song was very visual for me. I see images while listening. I need you to make the video. Sort of reminds me of lying on my parents' bed after school listening to the white album and falling asleep. I think this is really beautiful. |
|
| C L X (final) by hellmet | 2 years ago |
| Listen, I don't normally go for this chilly music, but my wife likes it, so I hear it at home from time to time. I am starting to get bored about one-third in...no, you have deftly changed up a bit...oh, there it goes again. Okay, nice job. | |
| Evil Chill by EvilFactman | 2 years ago |
| This is kind of a departure, isn't it? This makes a nice meditative, hypnotic.... what was I saying? Very chilly. |
|
| Culotte de Cheval by Dylan | 2 years ago |
| Love the growls. Que j'aime les grrrrres sans accents graves. | |
| Disposable video by lilichi | 2 years ago |
| I was mining for art and found this gem. Terrific! This really should be at a festival or contest. Great work, vap-n-lil. |
|
| Her Sweet Lips by bandarraffa | 2 years ago |
| Dreamy. This was on the verge of becoming repetitious (not in a good way) but you provide just enough variety to avoid that (it is short also). I would have liked to hear another piano track come in, maybe on the left end. That's what I think! |
|
| Funeral Dirge by jayman | 2 years ago |
| I am glad to hear you are not dying (yet!). With Joloffson and ponkey (and Homebrand if he ever gets around to posting), you are now part of the funeral dirge club. Good company! (Oh, yeah--good song, too.) |
|
| Decadence is (The Oyster Song) by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| Yes, I was trying to be clever, putting in a little hidden message, or tribute. That was actually a gift just for you; I'm happy you liked it. Note of interest: I used the ponkey fan-killing technique for the vocal track. The sound might be better than I've been getting from my external mic. Linda suggests I change a few items, and I'd like to get a better grip of the vocals, so I might go again. I was just in a hurry to get in the game before it was over! |
|
| VOX POPS: decadence is the new abstinence (VOCALS WANTED!) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| I've done my part to fill the top 10. Good luck getting anyone to listen to it! http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=38637 |
|
| RAIN by Uplink | 2 years ago |
| Yes, VERY nice. I like the way it slows in the middle to feature the flute (?) and xylophone (?) then brings in more slowly, building. Good job of keeping it interesting. I feel like I'm on a ride and don't know what's around the bend. (P.S. That was my older son with the wrist bands and watches.) |
|
| Decadence is (The Oyster Song) by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| I should add that, as far as we can ascertain, he recovered from the incident and lives a normal, productive life on the western coast of the US. But my wife will not let me eat raw oysters, regardless of the spelling of any month. | |
| flying by rinca | 2 years ago |
| WHEW! More chocolate please! | |
| the walrus video by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| This must go into the lo-fi hall of fame. My favorite part was the head wagging. Does this signal the return of the new sincerity? | |
| Decadence Is The New Abstinence (A Crime Against Humanity) by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| Wow, et, I haven't heard much better than this (if anything). This is two geniuses (genii??) making music. | |
| Ponk Radio - new theme music! by ponkey | 2 years ago |
I have noticed your activity increasing of late. I hope this was not the result of any redundancies. Whatever the cause, I am grateful. (You know I don't usually hand out the dirty stars, but I felt it necessary as a balance to the previous commenter, who maybe didn't get the concept.) |
|
| PEACE ... is not too much to ask. by TeddyC | 2 years ago |
| I like the musical allusion to "Give Peace a Chance" running through. It's an effective hook, too. I'll bet Pete Seeger would like this, but he couldn't do it any better than this. | |
| Take this car for instance by TeddyC | 2 years ago |
| Groovy, man...a civilized song. Is this really the same artist as did the other songs? You have enviable versatility. | |
| When Worlds Collide by PowerMatt | 2 years ago |
| No doubt about it: MARS NEEDS BEEF! Ladies and gentlemen... the one, the only... THE GRANZ! |
|
| Anytime Now .... by TeddyC | 2 years ago |
| Teddy, did you do all this yourself?? Like anyone, I fit the sound into what I already know, so for me this sounded like the Fabulous Thunderbirds (maybe at a Mardi Gras party). Thanks for the sound, and the sentiments. |

| Lady of the Night by cwhite | 2 years ago |
I like this song. I was really looking forward to this first song with vocal harmonies, but was a little disappointed they were so short. You could probably do a lot more (what you did sounded good to me). The structure is pretty pleasing and the playing is good (though I am no expert there). Your lyrics might be improved in a few small ways; for example, ending a line with "can't you see" seems kind of a cheap rhyme. I love the chorus ("there's no way I'd rather spend the night"  which is sweet and simple.I didn't intend to go on so much, but after all, you did say "let me know". I guess I did. Feel free to comment on any of my songs. Kd |
