Fizzle Pop is my new fizzly one-man band. It's fuzzy, fizzly and fun.

<a href=http://myspace.com/poppopriot>Pop Pop Riot</a> is my real band. It is quirky pop punk. More recordings will be made soon + maybe even live performances.

Feedback always welcome!

That's your band TK? Pretty good I must say.

I'd have to say for a myself I'm really not that into pop pop riot, but it's just because I listen to music with mote screaming in it than that. :(

Anyways fizzle pop sounds like it's going to be a great sucess.

Success at what? Fizzle Pop is just a thing I do when I feel like goofing around, it's not serious at all. But thanks!

Heh heh, I knew that.

fizzle pop is fun.

very fun.

NEW FIZZLE POP SONG UP

Since all of this is new to me I'm just going to go ahead and presume the new song is A Dictionary of Anc... which is a really rather excellent song. No Dance Party is also neat but, like before, I'm not crazy about Slipping Through, so yeah, good job TK.

I've only listened to the three songs (Vertigo, Slipping Through and Stop It), and as i've said before: quite a good rythm and guitar play there, but i really don't like the vocals.

No Dance Party makes me dance :/ it's also stuck in my head, AAS is also enjoyable altough i prefer slipping through WHICH is the greatest song you've ever made :O

In General My Top 5T.K Is:

1.Slipping Through
2.Stop It.
3.You Kinda Look Like the Kinda Girl Id Kinda Like to Look Like
4. No Dance Party
5. Phantasmachismo Strikes Back

A Dictionary of Anc...

It's "A Dictionary of Ancient Superstitions." So named for a book I sat in the library looking at with a girl who later decided she didn't feel like talking to me anymore, hence the existence of the song. ;(

Myspace doesn't let you have long titles. I put the full title in the lyrics, though.

Yeah, Myspace's word limit for titles is kinda ridiculously low and it should really have that thing where the text moves across when the title is too long.

Also:

What a shitty thing ;(

I lof u TK. lol :D

i was listening to slipping through and stop it over and over with my ipod. (:/) so i can't wait to start listening to your band. you should really start like a band website where people and fans could go to.

ok just listened to a bit of your bands:
i'm more into your band "Fizzle Pop" it's a sound that i can associate with your vocals and it just fits your style of singing very well. i can't really elaborate on what your style of singing is but to me it feels just right. by the way, i really hope you continue it.

as for "Pop Pop Riot", not so much of a fan. i'm a fan of pop punk but i think your vocals weren't right for the music and it just didn't sound too well. i would like to hear a different vocalist for pop pop riot, no offense. but overall i like your style and taste in music and you and your bands have alot of talent. i know my taste in music is not like yours or anyone elses but i know that you're a pretty good vocalist and guitarist. i also know that i'm not some well informed musician but i know what i like and i like what you play. anyways please continue making more songs and good luck with it as well

Thanks. So far both the PPR songs up there are me on lead vocals, but Jon and Kayla do them on the other two songs we're planning to record in the near future. Jon's vocals actually don't sound that far off from mine, but maybe you will like Kayla's better since she's a girl and all.

Afraid the style is staying. We really like it—we feel it sets the band apart a little. Can't please everybody though, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's actually a more "true" vocal style for me—stuff like Fizzle Pop is me being quiet and smooth intentionally. I have a lot more fun going all out.

I'm glad you liked Fizzle Pop. I will definitely continue it. Right now my bass is being borrowed so there won't be any new recordings until I get it back, but the song ideas exist. It's just a matter of when I happen to feel like spending a few hours goofing around with my recording software.

well either way i just want your bands to continue making music. "Jon", "Kayla" and you are all very talented. also do you still have your purevolume? because for some reason my computer won't download off of myspace.

Yup. http://purevolume.com/tksunglasses

It doesn't have the same songs though. I'll upload the Fizzle Pop ones to rapidshare soon if you want.

New song on the Fizzle Pop Myspace page. It's not a full-on Fizzle Pop song though, it's just a really crappy demo style recording of the latest song I wrote. I liked the lyrics a lot so I felt like throwing them out there, but didn't feel up to spending a lot of time on it. I may make a real recording of it at some point, but it's probably something I'll only use for playing in show settings.

Ktulu says if he was a wacky music critic man, he would say this song is TK showing maturity in his old age! I thought that was great.

I also like the lyrics a lot, and not just cos of Weakerthans reference. Maturity indeed!

Man, that sorta sums up my thoughts. In the words of Barney, it is super-dee-duper! Seriously, I am totally certain that this is my favourite of any song you've written.

wot. :O OK! Definitely not mine, but thanks.

tk that song is pretty fantastic + i agree with mossy

Whao I said something relevant.

Anyway, yeah TK, it's a really nice song. Yer goin places, kid

New PPR pictures, yay. I've been wanting to have actual pictures of the band in action for ages.

For those who don't know: our drummer, Jon, is leaving for many months soon. We were afraid PPR would go on hold for months (which would suck because we never quite got off the ground in the first place due to crap happening every time we almost made it), but we may have found a solution in my friend Asher. He is capable of drumming, but has never done so in a band before, so he's got to adjust to it. Tonight was our first (and possibly only) practice as a four-piece and it was fun... we just goofed around a lot. Asher hasn't decided yet whether he actually wants to devote the time to the band but if he decides to we will have a replacement drummer and when Jon gets back far down the line he will take up lead guitar and we will probably end up redesigning most of the songs at that point.

I really want Asher to decide to stick with the band, because I like his style. He's awkward about it so far, because he doesn't know the songs and isn't used to playing with a full band, but his musical influences are much more like mine than Jon's are and as such I think his drumming is more suited to my songs (this is a tradeoff; it sounds more natural, but slightly less unique. Personally I am all for both, but the naturalness of it was refreshing). I don't think it will take him long to adjust and get the hang of the songs though, and I love his style of drumming... it is very straightforward compared to Jon's quirkiness.

At any rate, here are the pictures we took:

You guys look awesome!

<3

That's all that can possibly be said

That and I hope things work out with the drum situation

NICE STANDING WITH YOUR FOOT POINTING INWARD, IT IS A GOOD LOOK.

Just kidding, you guys look great~

new fizzle pop song up at <a href=http://www.myspace.com/tksunglassesart>the fizzle pop page</a>. No fuzziness on this one, it's all clean & melancholy. Oh poo.

My dream is to one day jam with TK in the real life

You have a nice voice.

pretty good there TK.

To cover TK again or not to cover TK again...that is indeed the question

do eeeet

Yes, do it.

<a href=http://myspace.com/tksunglassesart>Two new Fizzle Pop songs</a>.

These ones are appropriately fuzzy. I'm really happy with how The Internet Falls Apart And More came out. It is track 1 of the Fizzle Pop full length, which will come out sometime during eternity. Track list thus far:

1. The Internet Falls Apart And More
2. No Dance Party
3. Beat
4. An Encyclopedia of Ancient Superstitions
5. I Spilled You*
6. Stupid Retard Gay Land
7. The Long Haul

I Spilled You is one nobody has heard yet (I haven't recorded it yet). More are yet to be written. Encyclopedia, No Dance Party, and Long Haul will be rerecorded. Slipping Through will never again see the light of day. Ever.



In other TK music news: The new band is going really well. I should have some demo songs to show you soon, and I think we are almost ready to play shows. We still have not decided on a name yet. Right now I want us to be called Walls but I don't know if that will happen or what. Other possibilities are Guitar Cable Suicide or A Distant Second.

Pop Pop Riot may be still alive, but with a pretty different lineup. We'll see what happens there.

Finally, we've done an absolutely horrible job of promoting it since it is a joke band, but in case anybody missed it, do check out <a href=http://www.myspace.com/gravedomesticviolence>Domestic Violence</a>. (The most brutal band on the interweb.)

Liking the new beatz, TK. I especially liked The Internet Falls Apart and More, first few seconds I thought it sounded pretty flat and a bit scant, but the other instruments come in and the track kicks into TOP GEAR and is generally a good old tune. Glad to see you're still at this too, after a lengthy hiatus in serious stuff- in terms of putting them online I mean, you've clearly been working at it a lot on a private level. Not that I wasn't wowed by the sheer brutality of Domestic Violence, of course. But yeah, by in large I have always liked your stuff and this latest batch is no exception.
