"Coolest Thing Ever."

Well, for me anyway!

Any one who is in a band will appreciate that having other people listen to music you have written is a satisfying thing.

Now, one of my personal favourite bands is Matchbox 20. I have a friend in America who knows the main body guard guy and hence, gets to meet Rob Thomas (lead singer) and the rest of the band whenever he sees them live.

They played the Rockerfeller Center at the beginning of the week and I joked with my American mate and told him to take a copy of my band's latest album, an give it to Rob.

To cut a long story short, he did!

Coolest thing ever - one of my favorite musicians has a copy of my album.

Obviously Matchbox 20 arn't everyone's cup of tea, but just imagine if your favourite artist had your music.

I am very, very happy today!

(just thought I would share that with everyone)

Keep meaning to sign up for it.
How do I do it then?

Just email you with stuff?

Cover of hang is good.
Will check out the rest

Oh and while you are here. Why aren't you on specialobserve?? :-P

This is now the third time I've clicked on this thread in anticipation of finding the funniest story known to man and it's YOU AGAIN with your BLOODY BAND.

Stop catching my eye!!~!

dammit, train to catch!
Must dash!

GH

Most covers are poo - kinda done as warm ups before we recorded our own stuff.

Hang is the best I think, the others were mixed to quick and sound a little dodgy!

Cool, very cool in fact.

Goo goo dolls - slide cover is on now. Nice.

Will check this out. Beats designing my database :-)

Why thank you sir!
If you want to download anything else, goto www.anythingeverything.tk

There are covers of Hang (and others) too if you wanna listen.

Also a really nice instrumental one called 'Dream of Me' which I am currently working on.

First album sounds a bit poo though as it was done on older equipment!

Really appreciate you taking the time to listen to them!
Cheers.

Had another listen today.

Quite like it, I ahve heard a lot worse from the charts etc.
Keep at it, Potential is there.

I like both the tracks, kind of thing I could listen to easily.

The lack of CD quality makes it suffer quite a bit. It was actually recorded on a 4 track recorder in my bedroom. Having said that, it doesn't sound too bad - I've heard a lot worse quality demos being played on the radio and stuff.

I do the guitar, bass and drums. The other lad sings and plays guitar. Wed both write songs and sometimes one of us writes music and the other puts words to it.

Ta for the feedback. If you get a chance to listen to them a bit more, let me know if they grow on you. 'Pick me Up' is the one most people like straight away and 'let forever stay' usually takes a few listens.
