Hello Noodle Vague. Thank you for your time posting a song. I take your commitment to asking me a question seriously.
The verdict is in: your song sounds fun and bumping! But it isn't like I would pay for that album. If I heard it at a bar I wouldn't complain though. I still rather hear something less rap at a bar unless it's a tried-and-true song or some hip-hop song that I like specifically.
As far as the video/song combo goes I prefer this one:

lorax did my link work--paste it into yr broswer

Prompt service, 5 stars, would post again.

Hello Ismael Klata. Are we getting a little bluesy? This song is obviously good but it's the same ol' same ol'. Not much to talk about here. I could try to write something, a more substantial review - but the song is what it is, and nothing more than sweet jane and poppycocks. keep on truckin' in the free world.

Hello, Vamps of '28. That song/video combo scares the shit out of me. But it might make some old blind person happy. Thanks for sharing your interests with me.

Thank you, CaptainLorax, for your kind words

Hey Ismael, I try to be open minded with world music since one of my best friends is Ethiopian - great musical theatrics in this video, also stomping. And funky vocals make it A+. There's something that I totally love about really great about 'non-exclusively repetitive' and funky vocal patterns. Take Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Sports Spootnicks for example. However, I do like the song I mentioned better than the song in your video. But I could totally drink a piña colada out of a coconut and get my freak on at this concert. Actually, around 7:00 it's starting to get repetitive. But the ending is different.

Edward III, come on, if I was tripping right now that video would only make have the shits. But since I'm sober, I have to admit it is halfway cool. Especially the fast part halfway through the song. I'm not taking this review any more serious than that.

Excellent stuff, CaptainLorax. I saw that band (they are called Monobloco) in the summer, and it's certainly the most fun I've ever had at a concert. The only downside was that the torrent of drumming left my ears ringing for weeks afterwards

BAtty, your video no longer works.
Vision, it's amazing what a guy can do on a 12-string guitar. The melody is one of a kind, I'm interested in knowing what chord he keeps going back to because he definitely isn't playing only power chords. Great sound - extremely talented musician, I'm surprised he could even see the strings, being the mop-head that he is.

I rather people start linking me to bands or non-instrumental music though :/

I would like to use this thread for an introduce to great music - my secret agenda

Listen to this on (really good) headphones:

awesome - I don't have time for a long review right now. Even though the chorus is repetitive, it's got enough subtle change throughout the flow of the song and not to mention a full onslaught of beautiful sounds - the ripping guitar sound byte + the chime synths + great rhythm guitar line and funkyness throughout make this track a standout. I'll go as far as to say that this song is my favorite one posted so far. If it wesn't so repetitive I might put it on a mix cd. Hell I might do it anyways, it would make a great opening track.

and little dogs floating on a lily pad, you cant make that stuff up

Ledge, someone with too much knowledge on music theory is playing around with sound samples and your everyday synth sounds

Batty, that video works now for some reason. I want to twist karein, jaag utha summer http://www.leamington-guide.com/graphics/rating/star4.png

Did you ever put "Cavalier King Charles...Spaniel" as an opening track on a mixtape?

no but I just listened through most of it again, so maybe I will one day. (also ledge's video/song is much better this time around)
I made a mix I really like for the 2009 ILX DJ mix competition. Of course it's not techno so don't I think a lot of people that that thread attracts were enthusiastic about it (well I dunno, I didn't get any comments yet). If only muxtape still worked. I never got to POST YO 'FAVORITE SONGS EVER' MUXTAPE.

then again, I don't think a lot of people got feedback for their mixes

hey cpt. i liked your mix i just didnt really look at the thread before because of not caring

heres a tracklisting to mix i made when i was in high school:

01 - Jim O'Rourke: Memory Lame
02 - Lucksmiths: Smokers in Love
03 - Aislers Set: Long Division
04 - 6ths: Dress Up in Dreams
05 - June Panic: Platonic Friend
06 - June Panic: God Hates You
07 - Heatmiser: Why Did I Decide to Stay?
08 - Silver Jews: New Orleans
09 - Spinanes: Den Trawler
10 - GY!BE: Lift Yr. Skinny Fists, Like Antennas to Heaven...
11 - Califone: Electric Fence
12 - Songs: Ohia: Lioness
13 - Archers of Loaf: White Trash Heroes

yr list reminded me of it. what do u think???

I'll play it all back to back tomorrow and then I'll probably tell you it's cool. I've had the 6ths on my ipod forever and I only have 8gb

the songs I can specifically remember from your mix are by GY!BE and Jim O'Rourke. I'm making a part 2 of my mix and maybe I'll end up borrowing some of your selection

so who's doing the ilxor poetry contest this year

ppl are clamoring

Maybe soon. Listen to Mix 3 tonight and I'll upload Folkrockish Mix 2 (happy and easily likable) by tomorrow

the music I listen to is made solely of wind chimes and pan flutes

I realize more than half of the music in my mixes are not folk-rock but the mixes flow well and the folk-rock names just stuck. Plus I spent a lot of time making #2 and #3 this year. These are my annual mixes per-se and I spend a long time on song choice and electric feel yo

in awe of the bold new approach to music criticism on display herein. U WANT MY OPINION? COME & GET IT BITCH

next-level shit imo, accommodates musicians' desires to be blogged in the most efficient way possible, imaginin Lorax in full-on egyptian king regalia dispensing his perspectives from a velvety throne while scantily-clad nubile servants lower grapes into his mouth
