I are listening, but i dont have proper headphones, ATM. I like the attitude, and of course the guitar sounds great!

Reminds me of Jellyfish, awesome stuff!
I'm only listening on iPod earphones, but I'd say you could do with more guitar and less vocals.. maybe just a little more top end to the guitars.

it's a hard thing to mix, cause obviously there's a lotta lyrics, and it's a lyric based song. so you don't wanna bury them, but you don't want em too loud. kinda reminds me of when They Might Be Giants went to a live band.

i didn't like the way it sounded on my computer speakers but when i put it thru my pa and messed with the eq "slightly" it sounded nice and fat.
good tune non the less, i would buy a cd just based off of this one tune.

yeah, I'm definantly gonna mess with the EQ a little. We recorded it all on garage band and it doesnt really have very good eq stuff, or much in the way of mastering. But I my be able to steal a better program from my brother to eq stuff a little better
and thanks everyone for the kind words and mix advice

People are gonna shit bricks about Natalie. Shoegaze punk rock. The intro has a little of every pedal I have, in like 20 seconds

the intro is amazing, sounds really crisp and clean.
once the song kicks in it reminds me(mix wise) of the lemmonheads album "hate your friends"
which is a good thing and a bad thing IMO.
it seems like it drops and changes, almost too much to be the same tune.
but on the plus, i like the punk rock feel of and evevrything sounds leveld to me, cept maybe more rythm guitar.
i like the lil guitar ditty solo bit around. 3:35
at any rate its rock n roll goodness!
