14:35
Hoosiers etc

Alex Narkiewicz
14:35

tim
14:35
all that gubbins

Alex Narkiewicz
14:35
quote him back at him

tim
14:35
send him this chat log
ooh it went a bit slow
that's quite inventive

matt
14:35
yeah but it's not overproduced

tim
14:35
halve the speed

matt
14:35
hence retains a little charm

tim
14:35
job done

matt
14:35
although derivative as fuck

Alex Narkiewicz
14:36
it'd have a job being overproduced on my speakers
he sounds a bit special
is that a 'punk' voice?

tim
14:36
his voice reminds me of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (It Doesn't Offend Me)!

matt
14:36
it's an old snotty ramones pop punk voice

Alex Narkiewicz
14:36
or a Leicester accent?

tim
14:36
david-byrne ish nasalness

matt
14:36
but yeah
maybe some regional oddness
dunno
they're no exploding hearts

Alex Narkiewicz
14:37
we'll try one more song, I think

matt
14:37
(my fave ramones copyists)

tim
14:37
nice drumming

matt
14:37
but i'd rather hear bands doing this than tedious attempts at indie rock

tim
14:37
yeah

Alex Narkiewicz
14:37
I liked the Star Spangles
shame nobody else did

matt
14:38
thing is it needs to be lo-fi
to pull this off
it's the busted and stuff that puts you off

Alex Narkiewicz
14:38

youRsHelf

tim
14:38
C86ish choruses too

matt
14:38

tim
14:38
early primal scream and that

matt
14:39
yeah
this one's a bit indie pop

tim
14:39
modesty blaise / pooh sticks
and everyone else on my 'rough trade intro to indiepop compilation'

bernadette
14:39
i don't think the singers very good, bless his little cotton socks.

tim
14:39
but there's nothing wrong with that

bernadette
14:39
he's getting the notes

Alex Narkiewicz
14:39
hah

tim
14:39
it'a a furrow that hasn't been ploughed very thoroughly as yet

matt
14:39
he reminds me of these short cute punk kids in toronto

bernadette
14:40
his voice sounds very... young

tim
14:40
i met a violinist from toronto on friday
i was going to ask if she knew you
then realised it's actually a massive city
and that sounds a bit patronising
not to mention stupid
another song?

Alex Narkiewicz
14:41
let's have ONE more

tim
14:41
this one's catchy

Alex Narkiewicz
14:41
better be
1st track on the MySpace!

tim
14:42
this should be the theme tune to some sitcom about a latter-day monkees
that'd be ace

Alex Narkiewicz
14:42
tired-and-tested lyrical subject matter
tRIED oops

tim
14:42
perhaps this'd be a good career option for them

Alex Narkiewicz
14:42
tv show?

tim
14:42
be the new monkees

matt
14:42
i like it though

tim
14:42

Alex Narkiewicz
14:42

tim
14:42
depending how you look at it

matt
14:42
a chef should be able to cook an omelet

bernadette
14:42
it's alright, feeld a bit disjointed. better than owt i've ever written though so i can't say anything...

tim
14:43
i like the harmonies

matt
14:43
a musician should be able to write and perform a damn good catchy pop punk song

Alex Narkiewicz
14:43
"needs more violin!"

tim
14:43
every musician

matt
14:43

every musician
