^ and i didnt realize that the myspace was your stuff. haha. put some vocals on there man. and are you just using garageband or do you some good software?

[captain5640]

Really feeling the new Millionyoung. Mien is definitely my favorite track. Thanks for the link!

[yachtrock89]

Soft Denial is IMO the true jam.

[chchchip]

Soft Denial is IMO the true jam.

"Day We Met" is SO tight once the vocals drop. I find myself singing the song all the time. "I just want to hoooooold it ALLLLL in my HANDSSS."

^ and i didnt realize that the myspace was your stuff. haha. put some vocals on there man. and are you just using garageband or do you some good software?

yeah, it's a combo of sampling in audacity, some instruments in garageband, and then the guitar part on the tracks is the only real instrument. thanks 4 listening, chip!

march is going to be a busy month for me, concert-going-wise.

[chchchip]

^ day we met is awesome. i really like weak ends and sunndream from the other ep too. cant wait to see him.

you should be recording right now not on this bullshit. ha. are you going to pitchfork fest this summer? i know the lineup hasnt been announced but any plans if the lineup is decent?

[chchchip]

heres a moc interview that chaz and this other columbia artist(kid trails) did for beat lab. its pretty funny.

saw atlas sound and neon indian play at nyu last night. neon indian really surprised me, that music actually carries really well when played with a live band. i thought the show was great considering all the negative things i've heard about both those bands' live performances

[chchchip]

new toro song. its a remix of body language.

can anyone else imagine chillwave as the new grunge? the genre blows up despite everyone's hatred for the name, and then memory tapes guy kills himself (he's twenty-seven, right?)

lol, jk?

too serious?

[chchchip]

^haha. some truth there. i just hope memory tapes doesnt kill himself. but i dont understand how you could hate this genre when that little fuck from wavves runs around making music. hate him.

[Macwich]

anybody got the track "The Walking Dead" by Weird Tapes

he links to it on WE'RE TAPES
