ReplyDeleteI just happened to be looking for "Hi, How Are You" on google. After extensive searching for 320kbps, I came across this!
Nice one once again, I visited the blog a couple days back but somehow missed something I've been looking for below the newer stuff :)
Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteI usually post my updates on Totally Fuzzy.
Enjoy the music!
I'm listening to Hi How Are You, and it's apparently digitally remastered, but what's with all that digital noise in the background?
ReplyDeleteThey sound like fuzzy footsteps getting closer then back out again. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be there due to it's extreme Lo-Fi-ness, or if it's a bad conversion.
I'm guessing it's supposed to be like that, but I just want to check :)
Hi Tom- I noticed some noise on this recording- I'll check it out later. If it was a problem with my equipment (oo-er Mrs!)- I'll re rip it and let you know.
ReplyDeleteOk- looks like it was a problem with my CD drive- I'm in the process of re ripping.
ReplyDeleteOK- that should be fixed. I've re upped

ReplyDeleteYep.
What is it with this outsider stuff?
The guy can't sing, he can't play (piano or guitar) he can't write a line that scans.
But he's not making some ironic comment on rock music- he actually thinks that he's John Lennon or Bob Dylan.
Oh, and he's a comic book artist, but he can't draw.
Complete fruitcake.
