that was stupid i like the other version better, stupid. just kidding! yeesh! you ever go to put your headphones on, but you were stepping on the cord, and you accidentally hit yourself in the eye with your headphones? no? just me then. ok. yeah, the bass is poifect! (without listening in my mastering room... ie. car.) vox lvls also perfect! this song has a great feel. i wanna listen to this in the garage, where i belong! |

Hmm. Great call on the subtleties (g'rage). I had a roommate once that shared my affinity for bouncy melodic rock with sad lyrics. I'll have to direct him to this song. The lyrics are deeply personal with that, "oh shit, I didn't just tell the world this story, did I?" feeling to them, but the music is just so damn fun you want to dance. Good job. |

Much bigger sounding, I do like this mix better, either one would have made it into my Itunes. Great song, and what makes it great is, it is easy to relate to. I think everybody has been there at least once. Thanks for a cool rockin tune. |

Rock and Roll Ridd! This is a superior mix. Love those rhythm chops and that boomin bass. Your vox is up front where it belongs and is very enjoyable! Good tune about self-serving/fair-weather friends who move on as soon as the grass appears a bit greener elsewhere... Nice job friend! Be well! |

you know i think that I know your friend (i am a longtime LA resident). that aside, this is a great song, and you really managed to make it better by kicking it up a notch. i feel the same about my songs right now, like I get in a mini rut. i wouldn't worry about it though. you write better stuff in your sleep than half of what I hear out there. |

No reason.... this shouldn't be on the radio. Except, maybe, it's too good for radio. Excellent song, production and singing. LL |

Awesome This song is great. Im a big fan of "your friend" and his band. This song rocks. Great melody and chorus. I think you should add even more harmonies to the chorus. Cheers. |

what do you use for guitar tones? is it GB? if so, very cool. i did not get as good a tone as that using the GB tonebank. the whistling, and hoo-hoo's are magic. Great fade out as well....you have a great sense of what fits, and somewhere, you have got to be making money at this. there has been much ado recently on the boards as to whom here is a famous person in disguise. my money is on you, brother..... great tune, wonderful, hooky verse and chorus... top shelf mixing, and well, if you are a someone in this sea of us amateurs, then you already know this...

Dunce The Night Away It's hard for me to resist a song with a harmonica part. Lots of interesting touches in this song. Nicely done. ;) Actually, listening on my studio monitors, it still sounds like the vocals aren't prominent enough in the mix. Try lowering the L-R guitar parts a bit... they are very crisp and dominate a bit over the vocals. --- Joe |

Great stuff I love the guitars and bass on this - nice and heavy with lots of bottom end. The lyrics are interesting, and your vocal performance is great, filled with attitude. Very nicely done. Peace. |

I'll echo... ..what others have said. This is a very cool rock song. Weezer influences, Buddy Holly references and a great harmonica track bring me right back. Nice job. |

I feel so stupid I missed this the first time around. I like the morricone arrangment, if you see what I mean. |

Very kewl .... .. i started to listen to the original .. and then while listening and reading comments ... thought I would just JUMP straight over to the remix ..... last night I had a friend over and asked her to listen to something ... she was listening away and said OH YEAH it sounds GREAT ... and then I noticed that she had the headphones on inside out .... the silver metal part was clamped over her ears .. and the sound was blowing OUT into the room .. hahahahaha ok .... now back to the tune ..... GREAT track ! You must have a great octave range cause I still think on a lot of your tracks there is a female singer doing backup ... even though you have told me it's ALL YOU! |

Edgy I like this. It has an angry edgy sound to it. Thanks Bill |

Loved it from the opening guitar tone to the first backing vocal. What a great mix of T Rex and the kitchen sink. I hear a little Fountains of Wayne in the smart pop sense. This is a towering piece of music though and doesn't ride on any coat tails. Fantastic. |

hoo hoo Nice song Ridd. Very catchy all the way through. That opening riff had me thinking the song would sound completely different than it actually was. Love the deep chords in the chorus - it has your friend's band type of feel to it. On a completely unrelated note my daughter's new favorite song is Pork and Beans - smart kid! |

Nice I love the payoff feel that the chorus brings. Everything seems to fit together nicely. Very interesting lyrics and story also, say it ain't so! Looking forward to the album. |

Don't feel that way..... This is a masterpiece very well put together... With style and a nasty bluesy rock attitude...... In real time....... I.........LIKE IT.......... |

Rivers would be proud! I think you are as good as "your friend." Rock-n-Roll 4ever. |

I wouldn't feel so stupid making music like this! Besides, if you are the stupidest in Canada, I'm the stupidest in Japan. And there are 5 times more people here - making me pretty stupid. |

hmmm yeah, this is really great stuff. You're a real treasure on this site Ridd. Even though you said that you feel like you've been in a rut, I don't ever get that impression. I feel like every time I click on one of your songs I'm going to get something new and different... and that is one of the best compliments I can give, because there is nothing like that feeling of anticipation of hearing some new music from an artist that you really like. I can't say that everything you do strikes me as amazing (for instance Amanda didn't quite do it for me), but I love the versatility, creativity, performance, and most all the way you execute an idea from start to finish - songwriting to mastering and everywhere in between, you've got a different level of talent than the rest of us.
