itunes->preferences->playback->Sound Check
is the thing that is taking the quiet mp3 from garageband and upping the volume (it's probably normalizing; meaning it scans the file for the loudest part of the wave and adjusts the volume such that that loudest bit is at 0dB - or some other set loudness)
Little known thing in Garageband... Track->Show Master Track
Now, click the info button (bottom right). You'll see that you can apply all kinds of mastering presets here. Try some out.
Congrats on the audio interface.

re:ghost, thanks for the feedback. I tried uploading it earlier with the levels much lower (not redlining at all). The result was that the volume was o low on alonetone you could barely hear it. I deleted it, went back and raised the levels till they were just barely hitting red at loud parts. Result was louder volume on alonetone, but still pretty quiet.

in regards to your reduced volume issue, it is most likely because the recording at some point in the signal process was distorted, so when you mixed it down in garage band it 'auto-normalized' it, meaning it reduced the volume to a point at which the signal on the main out in garageband was not distorting (red lining/going past 0 db).
i would look to make sure that none of your inputs are red lining or that the mix on the main out is not red lining, then when you mix down in garageband and send to itunes the volume will most likely not be reduced.
now as far as the song, i look forward to when you eq it and such, it has this kind of lounge demented sound to it. i imagine myself in a gritty scene potentially on an old nearly broken elevator.
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

When I put these last 3 songs on itunes, my computer did something weird. It told me that these songs were already out there on the internet somewhere. So, in order not to infringe on any copyright laws, I would like to assure everyone that NONE…

My girlfriend came to the music store with me yesterday to get my new delay pedal and she patiently waited while i checked it out.. so this is dedicated to her.
Musically, I tried to create a rhythm and texture using only natural harmonics…
I listened to a bunch of your stuff yesterday when I was tiling my bathroom. I didn't have time to comment then. This is a great song (as were many of them, if not all, but I was fading in and out of listening range so, I'm sure I missed some, just being honest and accountable). Who are these yahoos and were they serious?
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.

An ambient anthemic piece.

ohhhhhhh beauutiful fuzzz
Inna-Garage-Band-a-Davida! Very 60's Psychedelic Feel!
Yeah, definitely has a cool retro rock feel! Love the spoken word stuff too - especially in the intro.
I love this groove. Very old school, definitely rockin'.
Haunting. I love the drone quality.

Man I'd like to sit it with your band sometime.
Surf's down! Way, way, on the get down.
You are a Wisian! Nice bass, and very eerie feeling as a whole.
Hilarious...way to mix it up!
Have Purple Herpe day.
i found this one strangely soothing. . . . Top track! Will be listening to this regularly. . Lets you drift off into thought!
There's some dark surf! Cool bass parts and eerie vocal mixing make this utterly strange and compelling.
hahaha.
Wow! What a trip! Love those vocals floating around in the mix!
Swirling psychedelic enjoyment. :)
