One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

HEAR MY FINAL SONG

Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair

Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…

Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.

I never meant to be insulting or belittling...your music is certainly more deserving than such a review. You have great things going for you, and I support you in every way.

Hey, thanks for the nice comment on the remix. It didn't turn out exactly as I imagined but that's the way it goes sometimes. I love doing that kind of work, let me know if you have another track you would like me to work on just for the hell of it. Chris

Political Folk song, predicting a grim tomorrow, scribed in an esoteric fashion.

Days are getting shorter; days are growing colder
Coming into winter time
Seasons changing faster for the demon master

Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn.
NO ONE’S BIZ'

Lyrically one of my favorites, and actually one of my fave recordings despite the obvious sound quality issues that plagued my early recordings. I think it’s one of my better-composed Psychedelic Folk tunes.
IN THE END
Had enough of looking…
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.

Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

A tearjerker I made for the ones that are hurting inside... I created my own backingtrack before adding my guitar track (nylon stringed little Höhner) and finally my vocals. I hope you like it. Warm regards, Anna.
Oh, and I dig the lyrics too. Everything but the drums, which I don't think the song needs. Hope you're not bothered by me saying that, cause otherwise I think the song is gorgeous and exciting.
I enjoyed this, particularly the vocals – awesome control and delivery – and the chord arrangement. But I’d honestly would love to hear what this song would sound like with the “drums” removed from the final mix down.
This is all me...

There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly

This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…
Just being honest, the title doesn't seem to fit. Could you tell us more about how you came up with the title or what it means to you? But, even for only being 43 seconds long, it really is gorgeous -- I love it!
In Surry County, NC, where I'm from, we have a community called Possum Trot, just down the road from Pig Shin. I noted you played my "niaR" (Rain), and I appreciate it, but out of 81 songs, it is the one and only like it, and I know it's not like anything you do. Please don't judge my music and style by that one backward noise mix. I've been checking you out -- Nightmoth, Merry Bear, and Justin Otter Guy are all me. I dig your style. I'm from the heart of Appalachia and I grew up surrounded by musicians who reflect your style and I respect it, highly.
I liked this one a lot more before realizing (after all of the tracks were finished) that the guitar part is awfully similar to a Throwing Muses song from the brilliant House Tornado album.
My plan to double all rhythm guitar and vocal parts…
OH HOW SWEET! Pretty strumming, cool bass and rhythm, tasty vocals, lovely poetry. You're a sharp cookie when it comes to songwriting and recording. Rock on!
You're always retuning your guitar into sideways dimensions, but it always comes out far out groovy. Suits ME fine! This is a great tune, but that's to be expected from ol' Rodger Dodger from Across the Pond! I'm so into your style -- Rock on!
Well Will got me all inspired to tell a yarn after listening to his remix of adious http://soundcloud.com/ramseywill82/nevermind-adios-your-just-a so here it is.....i finally got round to it hope you enjoy....Reg
If Louis L'amour and Marty Robbins had ever collaborated, you would have gotten -- not this! Tis a Western from Hell! When in Mexico, watch which cacti you chew on, or you might get a vision similar to this mix down! Frightful stuff, BUT FUN! Rock on!
All the singers' voices blend beautifully together. A serious yet fun song. Great job, guys. I've only have a matter of weeks left myself, according to the docs, so I really got into this in a morbid kind of way. Anyway, ROCK ON!
OK, for the 3rd day in a row, I woke up with your voice singing this song in my head, and I carry it with me all day. If the responses to a songwriting challenge were judged by that standard -- how stuck it gets into one's head, then no contest, this one has possessed me!
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff

Interesting song lyrics.
Nice guitar and atmosphere on thisun.
Very cool song, love the feel...Great job!
Nice Johnny Cash feel! Love it! Keep up the good tunes! Thx for the kind words :-)
Slinky and very cool. Loving your late night gravelly vox...
Oosh! A touch of Elvis Costello in your tone here? Very cool.
Fabulous premise - and a wonderful collaboration, guys.
Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.
Excellent!

good message and reminder!
There's that ending thunder again!
Had to listen twice. I love the tone you have on the guitar......
Very catchy my brother. Nice.
I rather like this.

EPIC!
Rock and Roll, Baby!
You are a fabulous vocalist -- again, as I said of the previous mix down, great control and delivery.
Oh, and I dig the lyrics too. Everything but the drums, which I don't think the song needs. Hope you're not bothered by me saying that, cause otherwise I think the song is gorgeous and exciting.

Sweet lead guitar break, nice vocal mix, interesting arrangement of chords.
I would say your experiment is a success. I dig this composition -- it's truly delightful. Great job -- a winner!

Love hearing her hit the mike!
