so, Saving Face Machine [was, ending 06-08-09] number one on the site4 for the all-time best score, which of course due to the attention has now pushed the score WAY far down, so far down in fact i'm not sure it'll ever recover.

so i'd like to thank everybody who made it possible for Saving Face Machine to even be up at that top spot, it's been awesome seeing that song creep into the number one spot in grunge, but man i never expected number one on the site, and that's truly an honor. its not just some dumb oscar-night cliche. it's not. it's true.

plus, anything to draw attention to [me and] my other work in and out of the grunge genre is always appreciated... not in an ego-way... that's why the voting down is such a pity, like i expected it to happen and of course it did because i know how it is here... ...but i'm still honored by the attention, honred by the listening to of my music, even if it is a bunch of noobs, a bunch of assholes, a bunch of well-reasoned musical opinions that happen to completely differ from my own, a bunch of idiots, another bunch of idiots, a bunch of intellectuals, the moderators, and a few psycopaths... and me.
that's NG for ya

but with small steps, with bigger and bigger leaps, and this machine could really be up and running full speed, full time, making great music for everybody to enjoy.

OR JUST A SELECT FEW, either fucking way.

UPCOMING: been working on a song for an upcoming flash game (by Johnny, as per usual) and we're both really excited to see this project come though. i won't spoil the game, that's his job :)

but the song, i can tell you all about!

space rock electronic trip hop hardcore downbeat chill loop

does that make any sense?

i just adore bending genres.

Looking forward to the new song... I assume you saw the new Star Trek?

yeah it took a week and a half or something to do it but hell yeah

9/10 - i had my doubts. i been saying for about 10 yrs they need to get away from kirk/spock and picard/data but their re-invention suits it well. they explained the changed timeline well enough that it's all good.

the cgi rocked my socks off.

spock and uhura? hmmm. but go zack quinto for getting to kiss her. yeah...

oh, and the suits and the falling into the atmosphere? yeah, they may have survived if the suits were as re-inforced as they seemed, but they'd still have been huge balls of fire upon re-entry. scientifically innacurate in the film.

unless vulcan's atmosphere is that shitty...? fuck that.

but whatever. i'm not super nit-picky. just a lil bit.

awesome flick overall.

saw that and salvation pretty much back-to-back, and there went my film-going for i think the entire year. usually its one or two that i see, and that was them.

yay!

I've always loved how you label music.

Jun. 10, 2009 | 8:30 PM Gunshy responds:

thank you!
it seriously is all those things, though
throw the word "progressive" in there too, if you will, but i guess that kinda goes without saying


Jun. 13, 2009 | 10:11 PM TheSilverGuitar says:

Yes, your music is synonymous with progressive.

Two time travel movies? haha, yea I saw them too. I hate going to the movies, because I always feel way too mainstream, knowing that everybody will be talking about it in the coming month, and me knowing what they're talking about, just makes me feel awkward.

The Spock/Uhura relationship seemed out of place, because it didn't elaborate enough on it.

I also saw UP though, which was odd, because I knew it would suck, but it was actually kind of alright...

I love space rock electronic trip hop hardcore downbeat chill!

Really looking forward to it. Something with that kind of description must be ten different kinds of kick ass.
