	'I tried to write a song' is great. :) These are my other favorites: 'Failed Design, the poem' 'Micke hatar Stellan' 'Lovebomb/ Failed Design, part 2' I won't be able to judge it against the other album until I listen to it a few more times. This is really good stuff. Thanks for sharing it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Great. You got any certain thoughts on why you like them too? Or you just like them? I am curious here. No worries, I love sharing good stuff! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I'm not really sure how to qualify my enjoyment (take that as a compliment!). I could go on about how you do some really interesting things with the interplay between 'found sound' textures and the vocalizations, but that doesn't really tell you anything, does it? :) I will be listening to this at work for a while to come, I am sure of it.

	I think I know exactly what you mean already so no further explaination is needed since it seems to "tell me nothing". :P Cool, I hope it can take many more repeated listens than "Do you mindfuck?". (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	stanleylieber 2006-04-25 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	I still listen to "Do you mindfuck?"! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-25 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	Woa! You do? That's great! Then I know. "Do you mindfuck?" do got the ability to be listened to repeatedly. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	stanleylieber 2006-04-25 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, and I think it's great. I'm so sick of virtually every genre of music. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-27 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	And that makes you listen to my album? And I who make my music partly because of my love to "virtually every genre of music". Well, the good genres that is. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	stanleylieber 2006-04-27 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Well, your stuff is 'different.' I like new things. For example, one would be hard pressed to claim that your album is 'blues based,' like virtually all pop music is. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-27 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Is that so? Well, I thought I was poppy because of the occasional verse-chorus-verse etc approach I actually have in my songs. With the chaos laid upon. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	stanleylieber 2006-04-27 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah but I didn't see any songs about 'relationship problems' with members of the opposite sex. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-27 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	No, that's true, but two songs is about relationships. "En kärlekslåt som inte låter likadan" and "Micke hatar Stellan". The first one is like a parody of the vast quantity of lovesongs as I sing about me being in love with a dustball. The latter one is about 'Micke' and me fighting. The lyrics are fictional there too though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	the production on this is really good. it all seems much more focused than the last album. partyflute songs seem like an untapped market. my favorite songs after first listen are concreten grassland and arrigo crocodilo. though i support lovebomb as the first single. the whole thing is great.

	Dude, I had far more time to focus on the tracks becoming crafted you know... On "Do you mindfuck" I worked very quickly I'm afraid. Maybe 2 months or so. That's far too little. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dzima 2006-04-22 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	En kärlekslåt som inte låter likadan is a blast. I'll relisten to everything and comment some more later. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Also, the ukeleles are tops. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Good, tops of the pops. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Concreten Grassland is great so far! I'll listen to the rest and give you my impressions. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-23 01:51 pm UTC (link)
	I am glad that you have recosnidered downloading my music. You said that you would never ever download my music, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Busy weekend... I've listened to it once so far and it's much fun! I love the first song's ukelele line. The poem is awesome. I need to listen to it more when I get the chance and I'll say something more. Oh yeah, I dig the cover art, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-23 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	It's actually a banjo sample on the first song. Not a "ukeline". Thank you, some dig the cover art some don't. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	anglerfish96 2006-04-23 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	Ohhhh haha. I had listened to it the night before-- very sleepy. Pretty obviously a banjo sample. Sorry. See, told you I needed to listen to it further. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cap_scaleman 2006-04-23 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	I get you, mistakes are easy. I mean, you can get a uke to sound like a banjo after all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
