Hey Google, My Town's in the Lake

Kylie vs. The Ex
Oh, and hey, I can't seem to work out how to trim the 4 seconds of dead air from the start of it. So I'm pretending it's deliberate, OK?

Wow. Thanks chaps. My head be swelling! Uncleozzy - I've got a recording of it from a few years back with violin and gentle drums on. It works quite nicely. The song seems to be best when it's on the edge of falling apart so it's really hard to record badly, I think.

I'm Done
I liked this. I think they used to refer to these as 'breezy openers'.

Lovely, simple version. You've got a grand voice for it sir. Really enjoyed it.

Franklin's Tower
I have many recordings and stories that begin with "One time I was in a drunken wedding band..." but none of them end with anything as awesome as this.

My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys
This is lovely right up to 57 seconds, from whence it becomes awesome.

Oh. My. God.

Flesh & Bone
The attack you've got on that guitar on the left hand side is just perfect. It's Duran-tastic, in fact. And just while we're saying stuff, I think the whole mix could do with being even more sparse and empty - bring the bass and drums forward, maybe beef up the drum samples some, and let that single guitar carry more than it does at the moment. It'd go more with the vocals.

That's my take anyway. Regardless, this is going straight to my iPod.

Holy shit, this is just the best damn thing ever - the synth horns! the harmonies! the transitions! the timing shifts! the brief diversion into Zappa world at 2:35!

I love it. I'm picturing a crazy zydeco arrangement of this with accordion and 5 piece saxophone brass section.

Now all I need is recording equipment, an accordion and a 5 piece saxophone brass section. And an arranger.

Never Gonna Stop
I love this.

Promise that if you're ever touring in the NW of England, you'll invite me on stage to do super-gay clapping and background Aah's.

And mediocre's comment reminded me of this - and so now, I'm even happier.

Hey! Super gay is a GOOD thing!

Awesome - a little Miriam Makeba in there (I'm thinking the beginning of When We Were Kings which just knocks me onto my ass every time I see it.) and I loved the snap! at the end.
