^I've known Plank for a while, and he's been nothing but amazing with guitar. I've always been impressed with his work, and i'm happy to see it's getting some attention here.

Thank you so very much Ki. It's nice to know there's at least a few people out there listening.

Another great review Trollheart!

I'm not sure if I had informed you of the updated version of Whale, but in case anyone does pursue listening to it and are confused as to why the track listing is different, you had grabbed the zip file of it before I had rearranged it, where I added three new tracks (Eye Of The Storm, Wiggles, and Hollow City Limits) and taking 1.5 of them away (Sunshine Express with out the All Aboard portion, and I pulled Call Me Plank for some reworking, and saving it for the next album). So, in essence you have reviewed a rare collectors edition (lol) of it. Here is the updated track listing, and tunes (my apologies for the confusion):

Whale - Planktons Odyssey

I really do appreciate you taking the time to do this though, as we are all aware of just how loaded your plate is pretty much 24-7. I'm very humbled when I come to this site and see my stuff under the spotlight, and it really makes it worth while to keep making music and putting it out there for free. On another note, I'm almost ready to release a "Covers" album where I'm singing on 3 of the 8 tracks. Do I sing well? I couldn't really say, but I'll certainly make it available here when I'm finished mixing everything.

Thanks again Trollheart, you really make this place quite interesting, and it's people like you that keep the fire burning.

Damn it! Now you mention it, I remember you telling me that. But when I got to the file I had forgotten all about the changes. Hope it didn't ruin the review; I was just anxious to get it posted before we hit December...

To be honest, the 3 new tunes I had added really make the whole experience better, and treating the song Sunshine Express/All Aboard as a bonus track on the YT video was something I thought would be kind of neat for anyone willing to look into it. I'd love to hear your opinion about it, but if you don't have the time, then it's no problem. Still, your current review is more than gracious, and I'm really happy you liked what you heard.

Trollheart · 12-01-2014, 05:34 AM

Yeah, it's that time again. December 1, and twenty-three shopping days to the Big One! As usual, I'll be running some Christmas-themed events across my journals, though this year I'm not going to be pushing myself as hard as I have in previous years. There will be features, certainly, but it won't be anything like as frenetic as Christmas 2013, especially in The Couch Potato. I do have some things planned though, while hopefully carrying on most of my normal non-Christmas stuff.

As we get closer to the Big Day, anyone who wishes to or feels like it is welcome to drop by with a cheery message, a bottle of eggnog (or something stronger!) or even a Bah Humbug! You're all welcome here, just don't trip over the cats as you come in. And wipe your feet please, it takes a lot to keep this place clean. NO! Don't put your boots there! I only just polished --- oh well. Welcome anyway.

Sit yourself down there by the fire. What would you like to drink? Coming right up. Oh look! How nice! You got me a present. How thoughtful and entirely cliche of you! Just put it down there with the others

I just have to write a thank-you note here. Won't be a sec.

Dear Pet_Sounds

Thank you for the present of Tame Impala's “Lonerism”. Unfortunately it seems I may never get into psychedelic music. The vocals on this annoyed me and the constant wankery on the instrumentation doubly so. I know a lot of people rate this album and it has won awards, but it's just not for me. Kudos for being a one-man outfit, but I have to say I did not enjoy it. Perhaps next time a tie or a pair of gloves?

Merry Christmas to you and thanks,
Trollheart

Ah, that Pet_Sounds! Always trying to turn me on to psych! Not gonna happen my friend, but thanks for the thought anyway.

All right then, let's have a drink, shall we? Snow's really coming down hard out there. Did you lock your car? No? Hmm. This is a nice area but even so, you had better just slip out and check it. Don't want to have to go ringing a taxi on this of all days...

(Note: can someone tell me if you see the above note to Pet_Sounds in a different font? I wrote it in one, but I don't know if those who do not have the font can see it as such, or if it all just looks the same. If the latter, can anyone let me know how/if I can achieve that? Thanks.)

Pet_Sounds · 12-01-2014, 06:42 AM

Darn, I thought for sure you'd like that! Oh well, you can't win 'em all. (Actually, I have yet to win one.

)

Regarding the font: It looks the same to me, but then again, I'm on my phone, which only detects the standard Arial on here.

I said HAD alot.

Heh. I love how Judas Priest turned down "Top Gun" in favor of "Johnny B. Goode". Real Pete Best moment right there.
