Oops, link now added to first post - sorry!

Well, it's rather brilliant in a decadent but charming smokey cabaret-in-a-looneybin kind of way. The singing is fantastic, the playing is quite accomplished and the lyrics are intriguing, funny, sardonic and utterly confusing. Great accompaniment. For a ten minute rambling, jumpy opus, it's strangely compelling with a curiously obvious logic to it, and I found myself committed for the duration, patiently waiting nearly two minutes at a pop for the chorus to come around again so that I could stomp my foot while chanting, "Stinky big cheese."  A completely unique sound and experience for me, very nicely done. Sigh. I know Kurt Vonnegut or Joseph Heller would know exactly what to say about this song.
 
Oh, and the mix is pretty great as well.
 
Thank you for this!

Holy smokes, Kevin, what a nice thing to say! I'm beaming here. (Say, if I ever do an album, how do you feel about writing the liner notes? )
 
To tell you the truth, I was kind of nervous about posting this admittedly, ahem, unusual song, so getting such a nice review comes as a big relief.
 
It means even more knowing that it comes from such a talented man. Thanks again,
LJ

LJ, I wouldn't worry too much about posting whatever you'd like feedback on. Someone somewhere will generally give it a listen and provide some feedback. Sure, the more esoteric the material, the fewer comments one gets, but that's the nature of esoterica, I guess.
 
As far as the song goes, I would doubt its commercial viability, but as a piece of art, it certainly had an impact on me, and I suspect that's what you're after. This would make a great piece of performance art, I think. You have a certain something that's great to listen to, which does make a case for creating more "approachable" songs to broaden your appeal, but I'd also be quite proud to have something like this in my catalog. I look forward to hearing more!
 
 

I love this song.  Who hasn't wanted to write a tribute to their employers at some time or another ;) ?  That being said, I've been waiting to hear a song mastered by LANDR, and I think this is the weak point of the song.  It sounds a tad overcompressed and bright to my ears, and I would like to hear this song breathe a bit more.  But, that's a minor nit; it doesn't take away from the coolness of this recording.  Maybe try the medium setting in LANDR?

Thank you so much for those kind words, Lynn. I took your advice and tried the medium setting on LandR and here is the result:

I think it sounds more natural and want to thank you for taking the time to help me out like that. It's much appreciated!
Regards,
LJ
 

Awesomely weird and wonderful tune! Love the vocal and your guitar playing, too!

That was just strange enough for me.
