[etienne214]

@WaldosComputer Hi! Thanks for your comments and for watching all my vids! Well I think a lot of my stuff is tagged with Tori's name. She's definitely my all time favorite artist on so many levels. Having cut an album (:-D) it's all original stuff! hopefully equally cool. Thanks again!

[WaldosComputer]

@etienne214

W8... WHAT???? Teddy's cut an album? News to me! I'm on it like an iPhone! I LOVE ur renditions of Tori (et. al.). Ted... ur an awesome artist and I hope (despite all the crap) that u make it. Sincerely! xxxooo WC

[etienne214]

@WaldosComputer Yes I do have an album. It's only mixed and not completely finished. It still needs to get mastered and we're working on the artwork now so we'll see. There's also going to be a cartoon music video up for one of the songs so keep an eye open for that. I also hope that I make it!!! Thanks so much for the support.

thank you!!!

[freakycakes]

PS... And I have to agree with GlowMILF. Bang-up job on the "You always like your babies ti-ight...." rif. Superb ending too and your piano is chilling. It's Tori, but with your own edge. You better go boy!

[etienne214]

lol thank you!!!! tori is definitely my biggest "pop alt" piano influence!! thank you for that comment too!!!

[glowmilf]

Wow. I didn't notice before, how amazing you made the "babies die" line sound. That is the lyric ja? lol. But yes, your high-note was stellar and a very nice touch.

[etienne214]

i think it's "you always liked your babies tight." thank you very much!!!! i was a bit worried about that so thank you for the comment!

[glowmilf]

LMAO!!!!! Wow.....what a dork...I am....for not knowing this lyric! lol. Thanks for the clarification. & yeah, you've no reason to be concerned over that spot, the voyage vocally worked very well.

[etienne214]

you're not a dork!!!! honestly, i have no idea what tori says most of the time until i look it up. but thank you for the comment!!!

[freakycakes]

Ted - Your covers are always awesome. You've got a really soulful voice. Just wanna know when you're gonna cut that album if you haven't yet. Please add me to any listservs you have. Thanx! FC

[etienne214]

lol i have not cut an album as of yet!!! i was in the studio for a bit but the studio ran into some technical difficulties but hopefully i'll have my chance soon. and i will definitely include when i get a listserv up!!! thanks so much for your continuing support!!!!!

[freakycakes]

Hey Ted... Thanks so much for getting back to me! I wish you all the best in the future with your music. As a request (If I may be so bold...) I would love to hear you cover Tori's "Siren"... another insanely cool B-side of hers. You can find it on the "Great Expectations" movie soundtrack. It's one of my alltime faves and I bet you'd do an awesome job with it. No pressure tho. LOL! In any case, Thanx again and keep rockin' it out! Yours, FC

[etienne214]

yes siren is one of my favorite tori songs!!!!! i will definitely see what i can do with it! thanks so much for watching and your support!

-ted

[bigblonde26]

I love Siren as well!!! Been lucky to hear it twice live!

[musikjunky89]

you're amazing! thank you for sharing your talents.

btw, i think my favorite tori-version of this song is the the sound check video that's included in Librarian. check it out if you haven't

[etienne214]

thank you very much!!! that is kind!

i haven't listened to librarian as a CD in a long long time. i will definitely dig it out and take a listen at your suggestion!

~Mary

[etienne214]

thank you very very much mary!! sometimes covers i never know how they're go over. this was one of them!! i never know if it's different enough but still true or what!!! but thank you i do like my new shoes a lot!!

and the b-day was great: filled with friends and dancing. thanks for asking!

[wbarreguy]

This sounds absolutely amazing... 2 minutes into it so far and loving it... Now finished. Great beginning, great climax, and spotless ending. You got the magic 3 (!). I love it.

[etienne214]

thanks b!!! the part that really sold me on this song was "you're just too used to my honey now.' hey, if you get a chance check out the original that went up too!!!

[wbarreguy]

You know I'm there! I had the craziest day ever aside from music. But I am chilled out now and can listen to this mysterious song called "Oh." I noticed it! I had an overly prolific day music wise. It's weird, it's not like I was at the kb all day, just sporadically. I think these songs hibernate inside me for a month and then they all burst out at once. :-) I set Emotions to public. While I was busy in Feb, that was the song that I "practiced." The others just sorta happened.

[1JustBreathe]

lovely!

[etienne214]

thank you!

[glowmilf]

Wow.

Your interpretations always amaze me!

Thank you sooo much for taking the time to work this lovely number up! =D

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it! The chorus immediately preceding the bridge and then on were particularly stellar! =D

Thank you, again, so much. =)

Truly was a nice gift. =)

[etienne214]

of course!!! i appreciate you watching so much! i'm glad you liked this one. i didn't know how it was going to go over but i'm glad you liked it!!!

[afssbma]
