i hope you can read this. because, wow this is great. i like it a lot. reminds a bit of nick drake, smashing pumpkins and a bit of beck (sea change) too!

some RHCP vibes you got there..

This is only to check whether my listening/mixing skills have improved over the last few years of 'trying' or NOT.

+1000000 this! Blame it on tracker for posting a Seinfeld clip. Youtube kept playing and had me stuck, and I stopped listening to Feeling Wrong. But Open Sore and Count On Me (listening to it right now) are good, I like them. You've got good things going on here. Getting feedback for four...

Sorry, 70's to 90's only...please.

I'd think those who were already taking music seriously by the time "grunge" hit big would have, most likely reacted like you did. For me, I was little late for the party. With all the hype built on "grunge", I was curious wtf I missed. The first Nirvana album I heard was Unplugged and the first...
