Music post: I miss you
I'm a sucker for non-musical inserts - it's a great song as is, but that's what clinched it for me.

Music post: Change Your Plans
Sloppy is underrated. Climaxes are overrated. This is good.

(It actually doesn't sound all that sloppy to my ears, but you know what I mean.)

Music post: It's Time to Get Up
What micayetoca & mm said - there's an earthy elegance to your playing that is so appealing, and, for a n00b like me, really inspiring. Great work.

Music post: Bubblegum Royale
For some reason (Maybe the cadence?) I heard a celtic-folk arrangement playing in my mind's ear as I listened to this. Very cool song, love the lyrics.

Instead of making another weird bug-eyed emoticon, I'd just like to thank you for these songs. Both are in my top 10* and I hope there are more to come.

*No small feat, considering how many awesome songs have been posted to MeMu. Again, thanks so much!
