Finally I have something, haha. I made a profile this afternoon, and have only got one song up for now.

Please keep in mind:
1) They're demos
2) My voice sucks

Enjoy :-)

[CellarGhosts]

With my internet being so slow, I probably won't be able to give your stuff a listen at the moment, but I'll go ahead and add you anyway, then maybe sometime later try to check it out.

Thanks, man. I'd definitely like to know your thoughts.

[OveriseFan]

What the fuck?

I'll post my thoughts when I'm done listening. That's after Demo 1.

I don't know, this is super... weird. Its good so far, I guess, but I'd like something with more 'substance', to be honest. If you compare new Styrofoam to old Styrofoam, you see that he's gotten into more pop elements in his electronic music, which I think is what you need. Get more comfortable with your voice and sing a little. Add in choruses or hooks.

I'll post more thoughts soon.

Yeah, I know. I am working on getting some solid melodies. Trouble is when I write the music, I write it in a very...instrumental format, if that makes sense. It's hard to put vocals to it.

That's cool, I can understand.

I'd recommend writing more... structured instrumentals? Maybe that would help? Like if you know where a chorus would be or something... I dunno.

Do you listen to Styrofoam? I'd definately recommend it. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm trying to. I'm working on one that's going to be focused on a simple guitar part. Thanks for the feedback, James. Big help, seriously. :-)

Yep, love them. I think my problem is I've been listening to intrumental bands like Childs and such, haha.

[OveriseFan]

Ah, ok.

Well, I mean, this isn't exactly my thing. It's enjoyable, but I feel like it's almost 'boring', for want of a better word. Maybe working on having 'movement' in your work...

Electronic music is really hard, so I give you props for just this, but I think if you could somehow create like crescendoes and whatever, that this will be great. If you add some kind of 'hook', you'll be the next Postal Service man. haha. Just let go when you sing, by the way, because you have a good voice, and could do some good things. It's my problem, actually. When I'm not under pressure to sing, I can sing pretty well, but when I record/have to sing in front of people, I hold back and get off... :-(

Yeah, I understand. Thank you, I'll definitely work on these some more.

It is, haha. Yeah, Cris has told me I am a better singer then I think. It just sounds alot higher then I think it does, so it sort of catches me off guard each time. I do the same, I usually sing fine when not under pressure but when it comes time to record I just feel so self-conscious about it. I need to get some solid melodies.

Hah. It's something I need to work on too... and completing songs... or just writing one good song. If I write one good song before the summer I'll be happy. I've got this little fingerpicking thing I'm working on (I suck at fingerpicking. :shrug:) and I also came up with this picked part that's based on power chord variations...

We'll see what happens.

I can't write lyrics right now... I feel so worthless. :-(

Yeah, I need to write more structured songs. I tend to write like their instrumentals which doesn't work too well, haha.

I have started trying to get better at finger picking, I'm getting better.

I haven't even tried to write anything in.........at least 3 weeks. I feel like I've lost it. :-(

Hah. No, I've lost it. I have tried to write, but I can't. It all sucks.

Have you listened to Deas Vail? They're really good... I love their singer. His full voice drifts almost seamlessly into his falsetto. It's beautiful.

No, I had the same problem a few months ago. It was awful. Sorry, man. :-(

Yes, I was just talking to Rob about them. I need to give them more listens, but I really enjoy it. His voice is so fantastic. It's effortless.

I'm in love with the new The Honorary Title album.

[black rose]

Hahaha, put that on your resume.

Thanks, I'll always have that going for me I guess.Manager:You suck at your job

Oh, I've got it done to an art. ;-)

[black rose]

I've got it down to a science. oooohh! ;-)

I'm going to bed-goodnight, Josiah.

[a speedo model]

Night, Melissa. Sleep well.

[as_we_learn]

Man my slow connection will not allow me to hear it. From the lyrics you posted it should be pretty kick ass. DAMN DIAL-UP!

Haha, there's actually few vocal parts due to my lack of confidense. I'm working on that, haha.

But thank you for trying. :-)

Yeah I wish I could hear from what I read you have a good voice.

[a speedo model]

Yeah, I think it just sounds so different than I think it does, it feels awkward almost. haha.

Yeah that anxiety of not knowing if you're good or not can really get to ya.

Too true. When I'm not recording, I feel confident. It all changes when you hit record and the mics there, haha.

[as_we_learn]

Too true. When I'm not recording, I feel confident. It all changes when you hit record and the mics there, haha.
Yeah that mic in your face being all obnoxious haha. Singing while walking on the streets(I do it for some reason) doesn't give the anxiety as recording of your voice does.

Haha, yes. I walk around the house singing all the time. I don't know what it is that changes. Pressure probably.

[as_we_learn]

Haha, yes. I walk around the house singing all the time. I don't know what it is that changes. Pressure probably.
Yeah the pressure of trying not to suck haha.

[neo506]

I like it man. The vocals are a little too low in the mix, but overall I enjoy it. Added you on myspace.

[black rose]

Night, Melissa. Sleep well.Okay, yes that is true. But pretty much Everything>Science. I just hate my honors biology class with a passion.

I did:-)

[a speedo model]

Hahaha, I dislike science as well. It's funny because both my parents were science majors, my mother was biology and my dad was geology. Odd.

:-) Good. I did too.

[black rose]

Hahaha, I dislike science as well. It's funny because both my parents were science majors, my mother was biology and my dad was geology. Odd.

:-) Good. I did too.Well, my mom never finished college and my dad's major is exactly what I want to major in, Journalism. He went to Mizzou in Columbia, Missouri. It's one of the greatest Journalism schools in the country. He's all excited because that's where I want to go. The scary thing is, is that I know I'll be his excuse to come to the football/basketball games. haha.

But I have to admit, 7am came wayy to early. haha.

p.s. college>high school. I haven't been yet, but I can just tell. High school girls [yes this will sound hypocritical] are annoying as hell.

Oooh, awesome! THat sounds like it'd be a fun degree. I am following in my grandpa's footsteps, looking to get an architecture degree. Fun times.

Haha, I just up at 8:00 :-(

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Although my experiences with High School are limited. High school girls tend to try too hard.

Apparently there's some pretty stupid classes you have to take but just like any other degree you have to get through the stupid and boring stuff. Josiah the architect, eh? That sounds pretty fun. That's actually what my best friend is looking to do.

I was at school at 8:00. lame. haha.

I mean, I know I try too hard sometimes but just listening to some of them talk today [esp. freshmen] about who made out with who last weekend was just so pointless. Who cares?

Limited experience?

[iHATEapril]

The picture almost made me lawl.

Yeah, all degrees have those. :shrug: You do what you gotta. Yeah, I enjoy it alot. Should be fun.

Lame, I was laying in bed wishing I didn't have to get up, haha.

Hahaha, yeah. :shrug: They all want me. I have no idea why, but high school girls ask me out all the time. haha

I was home schooled, little known fact around here.

I was home schooled, little known fact around here.Yea pretty much. I'm glad you enjoy it, though. That's the worst-doing something you don't truely love.

haha for some reason, I don't feel bad for you. lawlz.

Damn, you must be fine, Josiah, all the girls want you. haha. It's funny though, I was so happy to finally get to high school and feel older, and now I just feel so young again. I think it's talking to people on AP that are older like you, and matt [tge art damage] that make me feel so young. I just want to grow up. haha.

home schooled, eh? How was that? I've always wondered.

[iHATEapril]

Its a funny position, the instruments are sweet I dont really hear a lot of vocals.

This is true. It's why I'm sticking with it, I enjoy the work. Why do some I hate? haha

haha, I don't feel bad for myself either.

:shrug: I must be. Or their standards are very low. Possibly both? Haha, when you're my age you'll wish you were younger. Time flies and more and more responsibilities weigh down your time. It's no fun.

It was enjoyable. I graduated in Feb. :-) I think there are pro's and con's and in the long run the pro's out weigh the con's.
Its a funny position, the instruments are sweet I dont really hear a lot of vocals.
Yeah, I was a bitch and recorded as little vocals as possible. haha

[neo506]

Hahaha, I know it all too well.

Yeah, I need to work on getting them to sound level. THank you very much, man. :-)what kind of mic did you use to record it?

[liz123]

I really enjoyed listening to them, and I agree they made me think of the band Joy Electric. Good music.

I'm curious because I remember really wanting to do homeschooling but then my social life would be next to nought... since I met most of my friends from school. What happened with you?

[a speedo model]

what kind of mic did you use to record it?
I'm not sure of the brand, it's just a basic cheap music mic. I'm looking to get a better one this week because I know the mic I'm using is having an effect on the sound greatly.

You meet people elsewhere, when we were kids we had neighborhood children who we hung out with and such. Also, kids from our school. :shrug: It was never a problem.

Josiah is just so charming, that it didn't matter. lawl

[a speedo model]

;-) Indeed.

[agloriousruin]

Josiah, I like your work, buddy.
Definitely need to become more confident with your voice. Find what works and you'll be stellar. But the sound you've got going here is fantastic. Keep up the good work and call me so I can open for you when you hit the big time ;-)
