Sounds Like: Our cheesy highlights of positive feedback:

I dig. In fact, I have to invent a new word to describe how good your work is....Fanscumtioulashious. (Heavy Metal Queen)I genuinely think you guys are the best new-music-add I have come across here on myspace. (Secret Junior)I think your songs have resurrected the guitar. very very great stuff here! i want MORE! :) (MattABoy)Your songs are great for those post-work late nights where one just wants to sit and take in "space" (Initialsjb) I really like your music. I had it playing all evening when I was cleaning this room out earlier. And I'll probably have it on when I'm messing it back up too. (Bastions Hand)I love all the textures in your tune: 'let me take your life'. Good stuff man. (Paradox Proxy)I am the Great Toilet. I transcend all scenes and cliques. You have the blessing of the Great Toilet, for thy music is sceneless. Thou shalt transcend all scenes and adhere to the Way of the Great Toilet. *flushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* (Mike)well if i had my record label already up an running id sign u up in a sec!! (YourMostObviousWeakness)Love your music. it's really , really cool (Heather, from the Listing Ship)!!!!!!!!GREAT!!!!!!!!!!This is why I still take the time to listen to every band request. The best experimental music should not only make me/you/everyone smile, but also laugh out loud in surprise and joy. Look forward to more forward aural amusements. (Quiet)

Radon check - ok!

After realizing that spending so many hours in an unventilated room in our basement (the studio) could be harmful to my health, I decided to order a diy radon test kit. The results so far are good - o...

Home studio is set up and a song is in finishing stages. Can't really decide what to say about this song. I consider it a "warm up"...that's probably the best thing to say about it.New room, new softw...
