Real time review: starts with Alex’s razor sharp T-Rex guitar, and builds into a bit of Power Pop with Ben’s voice muffled back a bit, and an 80s like female voice in behind him.

“Surfing on the Internet, I stumble across a certain blog, about a trip to a petting zoo.” Mwahahaha.

This is a hit. :)

Great bit of lo-fi guitar soloing, a la Golden Earring.

The woman’s voice is snowflake, can tell that now. Hmm, you’re lucky to have that as an available instrument, and it is used to great effect here.

Like the guitar outro, and I’m glad the “I put the guitar” away noises were included. :)

you rocked this alex! love your crunchy guitar tone and the treatment of ben’s vocal. you really rocked this and the guitar dynamics in the chorus build the section perfectly.

thanks for letting me sing on your track :)

the title is pretty darn funny!

lol yeah I remember everclear now that you mention them.

I listened to a lot of (punk) rock in the early/mid 90’s and I guess it shows :)

Wow! This absolutely RAWKS! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I love how you switched around my original placement of the verses. Lots of fun!

And I guess I’ll have to agree with Snowflake on the title. Funny and appropriate… ;)

Speaking of Snowflake, super cool that you got her to contribute those backup vocals. Give her a great big thanks and high five from me!

Snowflake singing backup vocals was her idea,

I took my studio across the street to her humble adobe to do parts of this mix and get some advice.

I use a very open set of headphones, and she got the chorus lines stuck in her head while I was editing and she offered to sing backup vocals.

Of course, its quite stuck in my head as well now, and I’ll never misuse an apostrophe again.

Thanks much.

Nice work Alex! Each time I hear a new track from you…it keeps getting better…giant steps you are taking. I agree with Sackjo22’s review. There is something raw about this track that if too polished would miss the point. I think the Allens’ would agree.

I like this mix a lot…

The voices are stunning: the harmonies in the chorus are surprising. You did something unique in this
