SiB	Jul 26 2008 6:59 AM Thanks for the friend request!
Te Mori Millar	Jul 23 2008 9:04 PM That Cracks live sounds even better then the demo man!! It's stuck in my head..when will it go away!!! lol not that its a bad thing.! Thanx for the comment,And hey ur rQ songs were pretty darned good haha but yeah this stuff is carazy i love it!!
MurryHam	Jul 23 2008 12:30 AM I'm fatter, though I could be fatter still... 50 loops, man that has the large possibility of sounding like absolute shite. Then again Freddy Mercury used a 48 track for all of the Bohemian Rhapsody vocals. Mad! Yeah going to see Shihad tomorrow, and Dai Henwood's MCing, I think I'm more excited about Dai than Shihad haha. Speaking of comedians, I should go and watch this DVD I've got infront of me, maybe I'll tell you what I think of it. You heard of a guy called Ricky Gervais? I dunno covers a bit sexual for my tastes, I mean what is he planning on doing to that little tiger cub?
artist proof	Jul 22 2008 7:39 PM Hey Kimbra, Awesome show last night, it was completely captivating, good luck with the recording. See you soon, Drew.
Captain Falcon!	Jul 22 2008 6:28 AM wow. that's the nicest thing i've heard in a long time. thank you. i feel kinda stirred to record some more after that actually. but yes i know the feeling, or at least something similar. i've been doing well though, keeping busy and enjoying the way that life seems to be unfolding at present. the name of the book alone intrigues me, i have a huge list of 'to read' books but a good recommendation takes it straight to the top. what is it about?
Little Pictures	Jul 22 2008 4:03 AM thanks so much for letting us sleep on your couch! So nice of you :)
adam.	Jul 21 2008 10:54 PM yea man. i am so into it. what's the pedal or whatever you use for the looping? haha yea man. some sick slapping and arpeggios, some harmonies in there for a bt more umph. they'll love it. wham bam! not a lot is new in the tron. i've just been keeping busy leading up to the album. we're doing some sick pre pro this weekend. should be good. just been hanging out with the crew. creating havoc. whats up in melbs? yea, that was such a sweet time.

showbiz	Jul 16 2008 3:24 PM hey ya i'm really digging that gotye cover, dare i say it's better than the original.
This City Sunrise have a new song up.	Jul 14 2008 6:06 PM Haha. But a Gay sunrise is totally like. It's gay. But yeah, I feel where you are coming from. Rad about the show. Where is it at? We'll be finishing guitar tracks to the third song we've been demoing tonight. We usually record everything live, but we opted to do this stuff multitracked. It's sounding awesome thus far, bigger than the EP even. Haha. I really want a lot of your input vocal wise. Alex and I have been trying to think really outside the square, so we need advice. Yurr. x
This City Sunrise have a new song up.	Jul 14 2008 5:00 PM Well it did kiiiiiiiinda allow, right? That's some old school memories. And by old I mean early post puberty years. UGH. Working away. x
