Thanks guys, ok so the distortion is on the bass and the vocals.  This means they are present on the recording, I know the main vocals has distortion, this is a combination of the tube pre-amp and the soft-clip effect and I would say that this is the case with the bass as well.

If anyone thinks the master is too hot and this is the problem let me know.

As for you dead beat Pete, I tackled an intruder on Monday night, who was trying to steal my school bag full of cameras and a I-Pad from my kitchen, he got away but he got nothing.  After this experience I can deal with you and your pissant opinon dead beat Pete!!!

Hey, Ben,
 
Cool song with lots of unique elements flowing in and out throughout the mix!  Your stuff is always different and very interesting, and you're never afraid to push the envelope.
 
To me, this one seems to have a raw, late 60's or early 70's vibe with a touch of modern "White Stripes" sounding, garage band energy mixed in for good measure.
 
The slight distortion on the bass and vocals doesn't bother me at all, and seems like it may have actually been a stylistic choice when you originally recorded the tracks.
 
Cool vintage sounding song, thanks for sharing!

Hey Ben women , this might be a great song to send to that screwup Gunman who shot up all those Batman fans last friday night .
He an't got no peace now and never will in his dead lifetime , yea this would fit perfectly in his mineless brain I AN'T GOT NO PEACE !

Yea its a one of a kind but I don't see women in the lyrics to be honest with you unless your strapped to the wall and they are whipping you at night .

Not bad but this might cause a brain overload late at night for me , hey what cause your hard drive to suddening crash maybe this dark cool tune .

What a terrific piece (of music that is --- pun intended) this is.  To me this song has a lot of the elements of a Frank Zappa song and that definitely is a compliment.  There are lots of interesting sounds going on but it all holds together.  You have gone outside the box on this one and that is good.
Nice one!!!

Best one yet Ben!

Thanks guys, for listening and all the positive comments.

James (NightFox) def the song is about a girl, ****en my mind, Blowing my time, Wish you were mine, are lines spat out in the middle part of the song and are def about a girl and unrequited love.  But of course great lyrics can be interpreted any way you want.  Although I'm not saying these are my best lyrics, in fact I think I ad-libed most of them.

The lyrics are dark but I'm a clown and so they are also firmly tounge in cheek.  Woman do **** with mens minds, sorry ladies if you disagree and this track is a representation of that feeling.

Of course equally it could be sung by a general on the hill waiting to go into battle, hmm ok perhaps I was in two states of mind when I wrote this LoL.

PEACE

Wasn't knocking your song or your lyrics , maybe I will check those lyrics out again but like you were saying its dark in a good way not a bad way .

Ben, you're a true original! I loved this. I don't know what it is but your sound is something that makes me want to go nuts and just enjoy my self while slamming beer bottles into the wall!! (That's a compliment)

The mix and sound is superb by the way. I loved the beat that came in at 1:00. And the vocals are brilliant!

Well done!

Hey Ben
My new FAVORITE from you.  I'm really diggin your vocal delivery and the way they sit perfect in this mix. On my end I'm hearing a real clean/clear mix.  The bass tone at times do make you think your hearing distortion but I think that just adds to the vibe of this piece.  If I had to nit-pick the mix it would be the drums sound whimpy compared to the dirty tones/heaviness of the other instruments. KUDOS on this piece!!
