new old song

I have uploaded my song Edward's Little Party to my myspace.

1stly - Myspace is popular, colourful, gives warm feedback but has lousey sound streaming. You'd be better to use soundclick oy lightning for this task.
Nicely wonky sound - I assume the fuzzy soft focus on the bottom end is deliberate as are the old tapes & 78's treatments.
I like this - every now and then I felt the need for a little crispness & definition for the sake of contrast though.
Then again I love the original Residents recordings that have a similar texture - I hate their newer synth based stuff.
Good song - think about using soundclick in tandem with myspace though.

Hello Ray. Thanks for the feedback. It's all on purpose, of course. It's not treated at all - I used an old instrument called an Optigan for the drums and 3/4 guitar, which has a natural 78 sound, and it's all put through old tape, which I guess is classed as treatment, but I don't consider it such.
