I Like these a lot. "In My Head" has a great chorus, and it reminds me (sort) of a tune by the Cars, when they were cool. Where did those synth sounds come from? Very cool.
Your Life Story - Liked it even better. The acoustics sound freaking GREAT. I want it to open up into some melodic, double time 4 chord bridge, so can you add that right quick?
...okay, just put one in your next offering.
I can hear the 80's references (e.g., I mentioned The Cars myself), but I'd hardly call that your 'genre.' It's not the tones you're using or the recording of them, it's your vocal style...I've never heard any of your work before these 2, but I'm betting you listened to everybody from The Tubes to The Call to The Cars (all the major "The" bands

). You sang both of these very well, btw. The backgrounds on In My Head have Mutt Lange written all over them. I'm impressed, but I'm also a complete idiot according to people who know what they're doing.
Cool,
Chris
