Hey Jamie, G mentioned you were going to put up a record soon and I stayed alert.
So I was excited when I found this thread.

I downloaded it and gave the record a spin and half.

First of all, you know I really respect your artistic ventures in general.
I think your strength comes in songwriting, you really show some vision, specially with the beats and progressions. And you always put thought on layering.
I appreciate what you've done with track 2 with the unusual beats, and my favourite track must be the fourth one.

Now, I had a couple of problems with the record.
Firstly, and this is the same problem I had with your previous record, I cannot listen to the record in one go, I'm on the fifth song and I'm already tired. And I usually listen to records from beginning to end. I think it lies mostly on your vocals, I find them very unidimensional. I think you do have a naturally good voice, I like it! But it is unidimensional, I feel it is limited and I feel a certain repetition in how you use your voice throughout the whole record.
It really reminds me of Elliott Smith's voice. A great voice, but at low doses. I cannot hear a whole ES record. It's too much, there are great songs but as a whole it bores me. This problem I found it with all your records, Jamie.

The other thing is the quality of the synths. I feel they are too cheap many times, like they came from a computer or from Sega Genesis. And man those slow synths and pads that you use really depresses me, makes me feel like I'm in a closed chamber and in damp atmosphere.

cheers

ahahaha thanks guys for the enthusiasm!

I totally forgot I made this topic

my 10000th post

I can't fucking believe it

I was going to make a topic about my eurotrip from Dec to Feb

Why did I made a topic about it?
To contribute to the illusion that GW isn't dead

terminally chill

exchange is the best fucking thing you can do

I've been hanging with exchange students at my uni since 2008.
Awesome stuff, great results.

I have never heard of microwaving water until I read this topic. I thought that everyone had a kettle. The idea of microwaving water is strange to me, maybe I should try it.

don't fucking do this

Blogs are so 2005 mate
Get with the times yo
Tumblelogs is the new cool thing to do

So who has a tumblr?
And what do you use it for?


Here's mine:
http://allmomentshappening.tumblr.com/

I post general artstuffs I like, that includes phrases, photos, videos, music and general curiosities that I feel like sharing.
Every now and then I might write a proper blog on some music or such.
But yeah
Do you have one? If you don't you should, if you have something interesting to say.

it's something I'm considering of doing lately

True story

I was at Leicester with Gareth (GaZZwa), while walking down the town centre we went into one of those second rate KFC, which aren't KFC, just second rate chicken fried fast food. Worse than Maryland Chicken even.
We did our order and sat on a bench to wait for our meals.
A random chav enters the store, goes straight to me (whether he knew I was a foreigner or not I dunno) and says:
"Excuse me mate but do you have 50p? I need 50p, it's for the bus"
and slowly I said "..yes.."
and then there was this odd silence as I looked elsewhere
after a slight stutter the chav said "Could I have them 50p please? It's for the bus"
and I coldly stared at him and said "No.."

The chav was bewildered as I looked away again
Gareth said "sorry" as the chav looked at him for answers and then he left.


I don't give money to anybody. If I want to help I'll do volunteer work or do something for charity, but giving away money is not my thing.

it's an act of defiance. that's what it is

I dont remember the last time I got angry.

I never get angry.
