one more try. With new speakers, and a new mix (and a sample from noisedog), I think I got it right this time.

Me & Tim

Nowhere does that to me all the time.
 
toward the top of the page, go to "change player". if you are using windows media player, ! don't choose media player ! i think it's a bug on nowhereradio. choose the winamp option and it will more than likely play. let me know if it works.
 
yeah me too, but its hit-and-miss. sometimes it works.
 
thanks travis! that did the trick.

as for the song....uh well no comment :D
 
a jingle it is, it's going as a bonus track on the album. Otherwise though, how's it sound.
 
I like the idea of a snippet/jingle commentary type song, and this could be a good one. But to my ear the vocal's unclear and hidden in the mix, kick is pulsing way too much. Vocal line needs something different in it, can't say what, but it sounds too much like the singsong/naggy chant that kids do to the interval of a minor 3rd... naaaa - naaaa-na-naaaa - naaa... you know, the ubiquitous playground taunt.

hey is that the bitchin' amp hum you were after in that other post? :D
 
hey tim, do you just not like the melody of the vocal line, or what do you mean it needs something?
 
I like it, but I also have everything I can find that Primus does. Reminds me of something Les Claypool would do. Very cool, and quirky. Fun slot on an album.
If you wanted it to be a song type of ditty, you might need to slow it down a bit, to make it more understandable, but if you are doing it as more of an effect, leaving it fast makes it something you have to smile at, and then listen to a few times. Depends on what you are going for.

sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!

it kinda makes me want to stab my dog :)
 
IMHO, you're spending WAY too much time on this. If it's supposed to be a quirkly, little, fun ditty, then let it be that. I think you're taking the fun out of it by polishing it to death.

Other than that, I don't really think the amp hum works, because the rest of the song doesn't have a "live," one-take feel.

There's some neat, quirky things going on and all, but, like I said, STOP TINKERING! :)


Oh, and it's "Tim and I" ... not "Me and Tim" :)

I guess the "naggy chant" thing I heard in it is part of its humor. :) Vocal just needs to be clearer.

I'm packing it up for copyright, I brought the vocals out a bit, and brought the rest of the drums up to match the bass. if it's a reasonably good mix, as I think it is, any imperfections can be fixed during mastering anyways.

can i get a round of applause.
