In theory yes, but you and I know that this just doesn't happen. No offence to anyone (myself included) but people are lazy and get stuck into a habit. Even something as simple as moving the cursor down to display other forums to click on is something posters just don't bother doing.

You'd be wiser to consider the way most posters think rather than how you think Geebs. There are thousands of posters on here

Oh.... I was at a party the other week Kinks and someone (who I'm friends with on facebook) asked me very loudly 'how do you know Aidan?' Then turned to her brother and husband and said 'hey lads, Michael knows Aidan....'

Then they all turned to me and said "Thats mad, small world, how do you know Aidan?"

I was very stoned and a bit freaked out so rather than admit it was through an internet forum about music where we commonly engage in homoerotic banter I told them we'd been lovers and that you'd fecked off to England and broke my heart.

:lol:

What the feck ? Who was asking you how you knew me ? How the feck do they know me ?
 
If we're posting videos of friends then I might throw these ladies in there aswell. They've been getting some very good reviews of late and have spent the last two summers on tour with Ghost Mice in the States. Good friends of mine, last saw them play in my mate's kitchen.

 
No problems if posters are putting up their mate's music so long as they genuinely are unheard of. I would also like to encourage posters to put up their own material. Put aside the the whole fear of thinking people will laugh at your music. You might be pleasantly surprised :)

Depends what your definition of unheard of is. Unheard of to members of the Caf, or just totally unheard of full stop?

Haunting. I like it. Very Damien Rice-esque IMO.

He's excellent, I've heard a sneaky rough mix of his album and its cracking. I'm in the process of trying to rope the same backing musicians to play on my own.

Restricting this thread to music that no one has ever heard might pose a logistical problem. :angel:

Basically someone who is start out, who clearly hasn't got much of a following and is relying on the likes of Myspace to try make a name for themselves.

The sole purpose of the thread is to support the start out musician. When I say start out I don't mean a beginner. By all means beginners can fire ahead, but I'm more so referring to players who have made the leap into full time music.

It's tough as nail. It really is, and it's threads like this that creates awareness. Even through people like Moses I have come across some-what start out players who would never get the exposure otherwise.

Ah yeah shit I forgot you knew them. That's hilarious man. I wish I was a fly on the wall. Would have loved to have seen your reaction
 
some extra quick thinking was required alright... which made it look well suspect
 
So when you told them we were lovers and that I had fecked off to England did they bother ask why ? Or did that sort of throw them into a state where they felt they should ask no more question ?
 
They changed the subject rather quickly....

I actually did say we were lovers :lol: I was wasted... then when it got obvious that it wasn't as funny out loud as in my head I just said I knew you through music :D

'Take A Gun and Shoot Her':lol:

Bad break-up then?

Not bad though.

Is it really that hard to pick and sing? If I had one criticism of the tracks in here it's that there's not enough picking going on. I think it'd open up a few doors creatively.

Yes, it canbe very challenging, its why most acoustic songs are built around chords and not picked out riffs
 
You can pick chords too.... I've a couple of decent picked numbers.... dont have em on video though..
 
Mockney's song is fecking fantastic.

Can't believe you knocked it together in a day or so
 
uhhh this turkish drum is giving me boozegumps
 
I don't really have any clue what kind of music that is either..Red Indian Mariachi Mess is what I'm going to call it
 
I know how bazalini would call it and it doesn't sound sweet to the ear

like this song, mind you
 
hey lads, here's a song I just wrote and composed, before posting it on youtube

oh yeah and close your eyes while you listen to it otherwise it doesn't work and you have the odd impression that a woman is in front of the camera


 
Mockney, we must collaborate

FWIW, A mate of mine did up album covers for me... one for my EP, one for my LP:

The Perspective EP
16565_180682151908_518316908_2980681_1189377_n.jpg


6 tracks, Produced entirely by my good friend and super producer Brent MacKinnon, it's basically a selection of the pre-reality of the music of Searl.

Originally the Perspective was supposed to be my debut album, but it's been 2 years in the making and alot of the content has expired, so alot i'd much rather not release... These 6 songs I felt it was okay to release so this will be a little pre-view before the CD comes out in December.

I Can See That
feck Me Over
Yes I'm In Love
City Nights
Catch Twenty Four
Soften The Blow

I can't save you, I can barely save myself.

Not emo, but real, the entire album starts at a positive and joyous peak, and dips into obscurity and danger... It's basically the alternative to what could have been a reality, my death in the hands of heartbreak... Most of the production on this project will be done by Brent MacKinnon, but there'll be some cuts scattered by other local producers, and hopefully I can get one song okayed by Canadian Hip-Hop superstar Classified

Tracklist is tentative but quite solid:

1. Work
2. Film
3. Hands
4. Drive
5. Fight
6. Sex
7. Focus
8. Cheat
9. Questions
10. Seperation
11. Rejoice
12. Revenge
13. Sacrifice
14. Pills
15. False (The real ending)
16. Blackout (The alternate ending)
