Cool! Firsties for me. ![]() I really dig the rhythm guitar on this, saul...it's got a nice little "chinka-chinka" sound to it. Your vocal harmonies are nicely-blended as well. I'm waitin' for you to post a song about "No way, woman! You had your chance and you missed it so kiss my #ss!" ![]() |

| Billy's Eyes by LunaBleu | 12 days ago |
| Damn, Luna! This really gave me pause. It reminds me of that song "Remember (Walkin In the Sand" or "Daddy, don't you walk so fast" or "Cats in the Cradle"...something along those lines. It's just SO emotional. It would seriously bring me to tears if i let it (too tough for that) ![]() Really, really GREAT! ![]() |

| No More Games by TomDevine | 13 days ago |
| if i had to pick some of "most-esteemed icomp artists" you three would definitely be among the first. beautiful instrumental sounds...so organic...(dig that lead guitar!) and then the so-appropriate tone of the story-telling on top... SO well-done. ![]() |

| Victory by RubyDubidoux | 13 days ago |

| The Other Half by AngeloA | 13 days ago |
"a little bit of an emotional edge"...ya think? ![]() I'm gonna go on record saying this is one my all-time favs from you, Angelo. It's got great production but it's also just kinda different...i DIG that synth that keeps pulsing by...amazing how one can concentrate on it and hear it so loud but then focus on something else and it fades into the background (i realize you varied the volume too). really cool feel on this one. Well-done! |

|
| It's a Little Bit Funny (If You Think About It) by mfwmiles | 13 days ago |
| IMPRESSIVE, miles! kinda like that who album with the mini-songs ("the who sell out"?). I like "wake up wake up" too...but you got a little FZ mixed in too... this would be a challenge to do...requires a lotta creativity! ![]() |

|
| I Want You (Shes So Heavy) by mikebms | 20 days ago |
| This is bad***, mike;...no two ways about it. I dig that you didn't keep it just like the original (bass line and percussion, etc.) ...the slide does rule but so does yer...uh...organ. I will listen to this many more times... ![]() |
|
| Two of a Kind by Moviz | 23 days ago |
| I like the COMPOSITION here the best, amigo! How cool is this?! It has a burt bacharach feel to it...just beautiful, man. and salvaged/inspired from a reel to reel recording... Listening to your tunes, i always get ideas to try and that's a major reason i always stop by. Vocoder effect on bongos?!!? I thoroughly enjoyed this! ![]() |
|
| I'm Here in Paris by LaFayette | 1 month ago |

|
| I'll Search For You by Moviz | 1 month ago |
| You referenced "Gypsy Lady"! That's a great tune, Moviz. I linked it to theironsaul a couple weeks ago and he was highly impressed too. This is kinda in the vein for sure but the strings take it somewhere else...someone else said kinda like a classic movie and i hear that but the percussion break is almost "animal" sounding...i'm not sure WHICH genre this'd be...but that's not so important, huh? ![]() What matters is that's an original composition IDIG that unusual bass line...it's kinda predatory too) but, above all else, your voice is excellent. Personal question (and you certainly don't have to reply but): do you now or were you ever a smoker or whiskey drinker? I've been told that adds a certain timbre to a voice...there is a richness in tone there...maybe you're just really good... ![]() |

THAT's impressive, man! Great playing on this.![]() |
|
| Bocce Ball Fun by markeaux | 1 month ago |
| kinda got an averagewhiteband feel goin', mark! THAT's impressive in my book. That trumpets intertwines wit' yer vocals just so appropriately too. Stanky-assed bass, man. There is a variant (kinda red-necked) of Bocce ball played in these parts called "Cornhole." Basically, ya drink and then toss beanbags long distance into buckets...the simple things are best...sigh... rock on! ![]() |
|
| Tear Your Playhouse Down by RubyDubidoux | 1 month ago |
| I'm gonna have to do some googlin' on this tune...did someone kinda 80's do it too? did elton and leon originate it too. I dig your voc on here, elain...i hear some vibrato sneakin in there in a couple places...i like that... Great playing, gents. Very professional! ![]() |
|
| Those Memories of You (cover 2) by theironsaul | 1 month ago |
| I DIG this immensely, y'all! How is it that things so often sound better when you put LESS in them? This is so bluegrassy and down-home. Ya need a wash-tub bass maybe? This made my night and restored some faith in music for me. ![]() |

smolder to flame. ![]() I've never really tried anything 1/2 way spiritual (kinda hard fer a man with no faith) but this inspires me to try. ![]() i always get a kick out of yer singin', mike (your near- falsetto accents and improvs) ![]() |

| Night on the Mississippi by Narananda | 1 month ago |
| Dude, I'm a big Twain fan and this kinda caught me off guard at the beginning (i was thinking banjos...) but it DOES conjure a great scene of the "Big Muddy" at night under a full moon. What a TRIP that must've been to navigate a paddle-wheel down that... Great job! ![]() |
|
| I AM A SINNER Van Whitaker by Lagusaya2 | 1 month ago |

| Little Sunflower 2 by nlsn | 1 month ago |
| that lead remins me kinda of the byrds "eight mile high" era (a little more mellow though) and the whole tune conjures up some doors "morrison hotel" cus it also sounds like robby krieger playin'... cool west coast groove on this, nelson...i DIG it. ![]() |

| Piano Bar by thsantac | 1 month ago |
| This really picks up steam about 2/3 through! Great horns, man! I really like the atmosphere on this... |
|
| This Rock's For You by sprkymrt | 1 month ago |
| I think the cymbal sound makes it sound like a live recording. I love the bass line and guitar tone (thought it was the sweet's "little willy" at first) and cool touch with the piano too. I think you should develop this, man! ![]() |
|
| Old Stones by LaFayette | 1 month ago |

|
| Another iPad Jam by GuitariusMaximus | 1 month ago |
Sounds like Lars Ulrich on the skins. ![]() The great thing about making music is that when you learn a little tidbit you can pull it out later at just the right time and place (as i'm sure you'll do with this). I'm seriously considering getting another job so i can buy an ipad. ![]() |
|
| Down The Rabbit Hole by Bachthoven | 1 month ago |

|
| Fragments by Mike_Lynn | 1 month ago |
| Those are some pretty profound questions there, gents...i often wonder where the kingdom is too. I love the fact that richard sounds a bit like mike on this...it definitely retains its "mike-ness" but it's awesome to hear someone else doing it. This is one of your best, Mike. ![]() |

|
| Matchstalk Men - cover (vocals) by ihussain | 1 month ago |
| Hey, hussain! I admire how you put your voice right up front and center on this; i think this tune needs that since it is so period-piece-ish and narrative-like. As i've said, your tunes always tell a story (with or without words) but it's cool to have some details filled in too. Fine work, amigo! |
|
| Loser by mikebms | 1 month ago |
| I think "mikebms" is a genre all your own, man. i DIG this. You're able to get so much jam out of a fairly sparse arrangement of instruments... you smolder and just always catch fire in yer tunes ![]() |

|
| High And Low by thsantac | 1 month ago |
| I like this a lot especially the guitar solo/piano about 1/2 way through... icomps is so cool because i probably would not hear music like this otherwise (and then get the influence in my own tunes). how cool is that?! ![]() |
|
| Why? by Moviz | 1 month ago |
| damn sad song, man ;( i like the old-time sound to it...but can't decide whetehr or not it has a country vibe in it...i could hear it done by conway twitty or someone (esp the chorus). great job! ![]() |

|
| Dream In Black and White (Original acoustic version) by Darkmuse | 2 months ago |
It sounds like a stupid cliche, but it often DOES help to be a little "loose" when doing music. ![]() The acoustic sounds great but i especially like the spacey guitar "fly-bys" in the background. Cool tune! ![]() |

| NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COLORS OF SKIN by Lagusaya2 | 2 months ago |
| Wow, Stan! Your singing and vocal production on this is awesome! Really, you have such a fervor worked up with the singing...entirely appropriate to the subject matter. Growing up in the Midwest, I was exposed to some pretty negative views on certain races. I truly do believe MOST people I knew felt the same way..."You blacks and mexicans are just like us...but please stay on your own side of town." The breakthrough for me was traveling around working in education...and seeing that for every "lazy" or "thieving" minority out there, there are 10 trashy white folks. Color has nothing to do with it. ![]() |
