@Arpit, Nono, I don't mean mainstream, I detest mainstream. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of MOTW anyway? - What about Reeve Oliver, This Holiday Life, MuteMath, The Dimes...not necessarily those, because I know most sf fans have heard of them, but I meant Indie Rock.

2007-05-27T14:23:00.000-07:00

I just discovered this site, and I think the MotW feature is great--but is there any chance you might reupload some of the older ones? They all sound like really great songs that I'd love to try out, but everything past the Future of Forestry song (except the Starflyer 59 songs, which thrilled me, because I'm kind of a new fan of theirs) isn't available anymore.

I also have heard this song before, and I just don't remember where or why... I like it, the chorus is super-catchy, and I'm a sucker for super-catchy things.

The story was a bit cheesy, but it fits well with the song. ;) nice job, as usual, Arpit!

I thought the song was innocently amazing. It's simple and adorable and I'm really excited that you're doing the motw cause purevolume has been slow lately and this is the next best thing. :D. now, that story was a nice piece of writing. since I am hopelessly cheesy and cliche, I can fully appreciate the story and intent behind it and the cheese dripping from it. SPING.

2007-05-24T19:16:00.000-07:00

@ Alex - yeah, I know... I hate doing those time to time for blogging reasons - mostly, I just get music from emusic, so it works out.

@ Stonewall10 - haha, thanks!

@ Adam Sams - welcome! Yeah, they definitely have a great sound to them.

@ Rachel - I'll give em a listen, and welcome!

@ Emylene - glad you enjoyed both!

@ Sarah - haha, I'm just a writer, so I tend to rely on my imagination a lot. Although that would've been awesome to go through, it was but a story :D

@ Rose - well, the mainstream rock sound is something I absolutely abhor (with some exceptions)... if that's what you're hoping for, it's not really my thing... but if you wanna list a few bands that you like, then maybe I can go off that...

2007-05-24T08:52:00.000-07:00

hey arpit, maybe do an motw that's more rockish, you've kinda stuck to softer ballads and such.

2007-05-24T07:13:00.000-07:00

i just read the numerous comments and gasped, were you writing from personal experience mr. mehta? ooohhh la la!! just kidding just kidding!

2007-05-24T07:09:00.000-07:00

*giggles uncontrolably, leans back in chair, howls with unrestrained mirth until the tears stream down her cheeks* arpit, i just love you, you're such a romantic! ok so i can't lie, the story was a leetle cheezy, but hey, it matched the song perfectly! i mean serious music video material here!

2007-05-23T05:26:00.000-07:00

2007-05-22T13:14:00.000-07:00

2007-05-22T13:13:00.000-07:00

I could, but I hate losing the quality like that. Those re-encodes kill.

@ Susy - welcome, and thanks :)@ Rinni - awesome!...

2007-05-22T09:29:00.000-07:00

@ Susy - welcome, and thanks :)

@ Rinni - awesome! I tend to have this love-hate relationship with cheesiness - I love it when done right, and hate it when someone messes up on the punchline :p

@ Alex - hahaha, yeah the EP is only on iTunes as far as I've seen - even checked Amazon, but nada. What you could do is buy it, burn it, and re-rip it, and poof, DRM is gone! :D

@ Brittany - glad you figured it out, and thanks :)

2007-05-22T06:28:00.000-07:00

@Arpit Yep I do believe I came across their myspace...that fits!!!

AND I previosly didn't comment about how cheesy the story was...and it is....but the hopeless romantic in me is just going awwww!!

2007-05-21T23:56:00.000-07:00

Oh dear. I'm breaking down. I have a strict, no iTunes music purchasing agreement with myself, because I have major issues with DRM of any kind...but...I want that EP...and I want it now...

Dang you Arpit. DANG YOU.
But i love you.

2007-05-21T23:00:00.000-07:00

First comment on a MOTW.

Way toooooo cheesy......but you know what? I love it.
Loved the music, loved the lyrics, loved his voice, AND loved your story.
ugh, too much l.o.v.e. in this post.
Weird. I have this kinda weakness when it comes to super-cheesy things.
tehe
Good job Arpit!

2007-05-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

P.S. I loved the story. Not cheesy at all. You are a talented writer!

2007-05-21T22:46:00.000-07:00

I really enjoyed listening to the song. Lately all I listen to is SF, so it was nice for a change. Not that there's anything wrong with listening to SF all the time. LOL....

BTW, I have been a major lurker... But I won't do it anymore... I even got an account at google to be able to post comments here... Well, Thanks for posting the song. It was awesome!

2007-05-21T21:27:00.000-07:00

@ Mikey - thanks!

@ Emilykh - glad you de-lurked, even if just to say that the story was cheesy :p

Oddly enough, reading it again, I realized I used way too many cliches - I think I rushed through it a little, but I tend to be an organized stream-of-consciousness writer, which means that I collect my thoughts as I'm writing, but I write in one go :D

I am officially de-lurking hahaha. I absolutly lov...

2007-05-21T20:32:00.000-07:00

I am officially de-lurking hahaha. I absolutly love the song and the lyrics are awesome, but truthfully I thought your story was kinda cheesy.

wow...thats really good Nice job.

2007-05-21T20:09:00.000-07:00

wow...thats really good Nice job.

2007-05-21T16:18:00.000-07:00

Wow, I think that's the most amount of comments I've seen on an MOTW this quick. And Phil gets kudos for posting this story in the future :p

@ Vicky - heh, yes, drive without taking pics at the same time (I don't not do it all the time)... and thank you, just felt like being creative

@ Jeanna - thanks for reading and appreciating!

@ Sam - would love to hear what you think of the song once you do check it out

@ Melissa - it was bound to happen :p Glad you liked the song though!

@ Phil - you know you love me :D

@ Alex - awesome to hear you dug it!

@ Brittany - not sure where you mighta heard them from - I believe I happened upon their myspace page randomly last year

@ Hailey - heh, awesome :p

@ Heather - haha, she'll always be pretty... and yeah, Phil just loves that :)

@ Faye - yeah, Twilight is one of my favorites, but this song (as I was telling Phil) has to be my favorite MOTW - I don't know why, but I can (and have) listen to it over and over without ever tiring!
