There should be a T at the end of their name….god Damn….its good to see Jessie Camp from early 2000 MTV is still making music…I mean seriously people…these are some sort of joke tracks your sending me right….the first track, “the Potential” is the exact noise that’s in my head while throwing up in a public restroom on the side of the turnpike after 17 LITea’s, an eight ball of coke and just one shandie (that’s just a jab at Marks crappy ass drink)….upon listening to this a second time I just reenacted the final scene to Pi and put a drill through my skull.

my only complaint is the vocals could be a little emo-ish. the yelping and repeats of a defining phrase of an emotional statement like “my confessions, these are” make me cringe for myself because i kinda like them. then again, i loved the first few get up kids ep’s back in the day when emo-ish rock wasn’t considered so god damn lame.

can’t get to sparkle horse right now. clients are coming soon so i need to get the studio together, and by that i mean eat as much of their cheese and fruit platters as possible once they enter the session.

So, HI! Mark- good choice in bands and songs. While I feel safe in saying that neither one is necessarily life changing, but they are good. The Mae Shi are a lot of fun. And let me clarify about the "pussy" comment to Mark. I work with Mark and we are good friends. And I am under the impression that everyone here is a friend of Mark's as well. So when I made that comment it was definitely directed more at Mark personally, then the music he was asking me for. So I hope I didn't offend any super Sparklehorse fans out there. I'm am too new to the group to be insulting any of you………just yet. -Andy Hello all,

The sparklehorse sounds real poppy, even more than good morning spider. that singer sounds like he’s getting fucked by a bear.
