i don't know if i'm technically allowed to do this, but being that i love this guy like a brother, i totally dig his current vibe, and was in a band with him (the medium) for i don't know how many years, i'm gonna drop his link too. his name is john ferguson and currently resides on Toronto. the link is here:

enjoy. this guy is really... alive.

I haven't listened to the actual track, but the lyrics to "Left Open" are great. Keep it up, zevokes.

thanks muchly. i'm never too sure about my lyrics, so i appreciate hearing that people dig...

Your muchly welcome. I'm the same way, but I've been forced to come to terms with the fact that 80% of my stuff sucks.
But you, on the other hand, are really good at what you do. I listened to "Left Open" and it's better than I thought it would be (and I did have high expectations).
I expect to read and hear some more great things from you in the future.

listening to Let's Bang right now. really like the guitar and your voice, keep it up!

don't know how i missed these last two comments but thanks a lot Antonio and Slj! i'm really looking forward to posting some current stuff on here, but it's slow going due to TOO MUCH WORKING WORLD! it'll come though!

my first attempt in life at hip-hop. it's only a minute-and-a-half...

EDIT: criticism is good.

i really like the whole feel of this. at the same time, though, maybe making a separate guitar part for a chorus could improve it greatly.

it sounds like a mix of Linkin Park and 8 bit artists like Anamanaguchi. i think this is good. The lyrics sound like stuff i've heard before, but the flow is pretty nice.

in all, if you made stuff like this as well as what you mainly do now, i think that'd be some sweet stuff.

thanks for your critique antonio!

as far as my vid goes, i think a WHOLE BAND would be just right! but the thing about a second guitar part, is that i don't even think i am capable of writing one... i am not really a guitarist. a line in the song which goes like this: "i got four thin strings stretched over stolen property... just a simple little somethin' over which my heart can sing," kinda sheds some light on that. it's basically saying, "well, i live in an apartment and my neighbours would kill me if i played drums in here... so i'm gonna sing... but i'm gonna need something to sing over top of..." which is of course a stolen four-string guitar which is used by someone who does not pay it the attention it deserves as an instrument.

and about my "hip-hop" track... definitely was not expecting to be labelled as sounding like linkin park! they're not an influence of mine by any means. this Anamanaguchi band or artist is someone i'm gonna have to look up. also strange, because 8-bit sound is not really my thing. based on your comments, i see i need to better my mastering techniques extensively.

thanks again for your response. it is much appreciated.
