That's really awesome of you guys to take in those cats.  Very shitty of them to just leave them behind, but luckily they had some good neighbors. 

This is a really cool track this week.  I love the over driven vocals!  I've been experimenting a little bit with that (but haven't actually published anything with it).  Such a cool effect.  Great bass part too.

Happy birthday too! Go get yourself some gear.

Happy birthday!  Have some assholes' cats + a lot of respect for taking them in.

Great riff this week; I only noticed how much my head had been bobbing when it stopped.

Yoooo, happy birthday, make it a good one
And enjoy the fluffy babies, guess they can be a present in a way
Great song, too, not sure what that buzz is at 1:07, but maybe a little less of that?

Happy birthday !!! WOW, there are a lot of things going wild in your life right now. the song has a good drive and all the tracks fit nicely together. the melodies are well interwoven. the ending was surprising and a beautiful outro. I would like to know what present you make yourself for your birthday.

Congratulations cat daddy, and happy birthday! What a great, really different style track in your ever expanding musical styles.  Yet another favorite for that bass line and those spacey synths.

Thanks!  I'm hoping to continue to try some different stuff as far as the vocals go.  They were a little bit of an afterthought on this one, but glad to hear they came out okay.

I'll never understand people who treat pets like property that is easily discarded.  I met their landlord and he said he was going to trap the cats and take them to the pound, where they would most likely just be put down.  I decided then and there that I needed to step up to the plate and take them in.  They've turned out to be really sweet cats, too, so I'm glad I did.

That buzz is just a distorted guitar.  I was trying to add some different textures in, but I suppose not all of them will be pleasing to everybody.

Thanks!  As for presents, I already got one thing, which is just a silly kid's toy that alters your voice in 8 different ways, but I love that sort of thing for recording strange sounds.  I'm also going to try out a re-amper.  I'm not super familiar with them (although I'm sure a lot of folks around here are), but it sounds like they can do some pretty cool stuff like taking the effects from a guitar pedal and applying them to pretty much any track you have recorded.  Sounds like I ought to be able to get some interesting results from that.  I'm looking forward to messing around with it at least.

I went into this track knowing that I wanted it to be bass-centric on some level.  And then that bassline pretty much just popped right out instantaneously and I felt like I was in business.

Oof this bassline will be stuck in my brain for a bit. Very nice. Glad to hear the cats are settling in well

It's fine, just a little strong in the mix

Thanks!  They are making themselves quite at home already.

Gotcha.

The drums give this track an energetic pace and your vocals were a nice touch in the mix.  That outro was even cooler with how it sort of floated off into the distance.  Oh and Happy Belated Birthday!!!  Also yay cats

Thanks!  The cats are doing well.  One of them has decided to become my bedtime buddy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and congrats on the new cats!
This track bumps like a beautiful car ride through the city at night, lights screaming by, while resting easy in a misty darkness

Happy birthday and you have a kind heart to welcome all the furry animals on your neighborhood! Tasty bass lines, and a lot of interesting melodies from various instruments. Maybe it's the description, but it sounds like each instrument is the voice of a different animal, and you're the bass that walks through the house, meeting each animal. I need more coffee.

Thanks for the nice imagery!

That's an interesting way to look at it.  Sounds like a good interpretation to me!

Thanks!  The kitties are still settling in, but they're doing pretty well.  They haven't quite got the swing of the litter box yet, but we're working on it.
