coloradojohn May 05, 2013 - 11:03 | I can't believe it's really been nine years since this first sent its tentacles out of my first Mac, way back when... |
aspicer Apr 20, 2013 - 15:59 | Excellent song.....made even more impressive that it is one musician..... |

Just so you know - its not a band it is a person working on his own using a variety of instruments and electronics found here and there and put together in a home made studio and without the benefit of a label behind him. OK, I can understand you not liking it - but you have to give respect for someone who can produce something this good off their own back. |

Diamond_Dog Feb 26, 2013 - 07:59 | Great song spoiled by overplay! |
DaMoGan Feb 26, 2013 - 07:55 | This song's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to eject! |

colleen Jan 31, 2013 - 12:15 | Wally sent me this album way back when too. That was neat. I get a kick from showing the cd cover to people where it says it was "recorded in bedrooms around Melbourne...." |
Tana Jan 31, 2013 - 12:11 | Still the best Gotye song. RP sure knows how to spot a rising star. |

Poacher Jan 16, 2013 - 12:21 | apd wrote: woah - good spot. It may not be an actual sample (Wally's a drummer, so he probably played it "live") but it certainly sounds similar. Let's call it "homage". (And good for him, with all the success of his new record. Hard to believe that when I bought this cd from his website, he wrote a note thanking me!) I bought this album from his site too, and we passed a few emails back and forth. I doubt he is now that open now he has worldwide fame, but I know for certain his heart is in the right place. |

Very nice - I stop and really listen almost unconsciously. Totally agree - Someone That I Used to Know is excellent, but there's something about this... |
Dinges,_the_Dude Jan 16, 2013 - 12:19 | I really dig this! Hé, and the drumsolo near the end reminds me of "Take Five" from Dave Brubeck. Anyone? |
