rory- i think we're losing- "i've decided I'm better writing songs about dejection. what's great is half the time I don't even mean to. tonight's song started out as something more uplifting that turned into this mess about ruin.'"
aidan- fantabulous time journey part 2- "i don't know what this is or what it's about. all I know is that i pity the man who tries to record in garageband in anything other than 4/4 time. also, i have no idea what that means."
chris- never forget the streets-"Here's another old acoustic demo from Bayonet UK. Listen for Mick Jagger (no relation) conversing with the recordist, at the end of the track. His confidence that the track "doesn't need any more singin" does little to assuage the listener's sense that this one is a bit thin..."
jon- where's the generation?- "i always wonder about the generations of pop music... specifically rock n roll. looking back at the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, I think fondly of all the legendary rockers and how they carved their name into the great guitar of history through all their ingenuity, commitment and character... but in terms of POP pop music, everything since the mid-eighties leaves me relatively cold. is it just because i grew up in the 90s and experienced all these miserable hacks first hand... or did MTV *actually* ruin pop music? maybe all the historically great musicians of the last 20 years got rightfully fed up with the overexposure and sought logical solitude in the underground... i still don't know. there's probably some piece of key information that would prove me right or wrong here... but this is a blurb and i don't have enough time to figure it out. all's i know is that the who was a great band... so was the jam, so were the police... and so on. this is my musical/lyrical homage to groups of that ilk."
trevor-you need help- "Or maybe I need help."
raison- breathe in- "Long live Solace! The greatest band that never happened!"
jon, good god man.
jon, "All mod cons" by the jam is probably my favorite album (its tied with "pretty together" by sloan). few albums are perfect, but that album is. there's not a bad song in the lot. and jon, we are the music of today. choose your own musical destiny. rock with the might of kings and make it matter.

jon: amen, brother. you give hope to a world of pop fed gen-x ers.
hey, aidan, it's not that bad! Sweet little sussy track.
chris: this song exemplifies all the good stuff from what jon said. rockin and rolling and whatnot.
rory, go with your instincts: dejection becomes you. Although this sounds a lot like 'Songs of Victory,' which was all sorts of uplifting, in a self-depricating and terminally entropic kinda way...
trevor: you put into the words the feelings in my heart. bless you.
raison - keep on keeping on. no witty comments for you. this just sounds great.
