Various comments on signs.comets as people have encountered the record
“…You guys have made an album.”
– Patrick Stone, March 04
“***RECOMMENDED LISTENING*** Christmas came early and Santa shuffled off six superfly free tracks before heading back north and showing Mrs. Claus sumpthin’-sumpthin’. Seriously, drop what you are doing and go listen to howie&scott’s new online EP, b.sides, at their new site:

Seriously. You can feed the kids tomorrow. All they do is yap anyway.”

“dude! you guys are freaks! thanks for sending the album. have i totally forgotten what you sounded like or is this new project a bold leap for you guys? completely rockin’! signs just ended and now comets is spinning madly in my cd player. just wanted to let you know how much i’m enjoying it…
yeah, it really is quite a departure. sounds totally natural, though.”

“tonight, listening to your cd a second (okay, and now a third) time, it’s houston that i want to hear over and over again. it’s achingly beautiful, somehow eerie. it’s a feeling i recognize but it’s rare and i think this might be the first h&s song to have that kind of reaction from me.”

“I am listening to the finished product of Signs/Comets and it ROCKS! The melodies are super tight, the musicianship is disgustingly immaculate, the recording/mixing/mastering sounds great; this is an all around great record. You really did a number one me this time… from one songwriter to another, you hit the nail on the head in a big way. Congratulations!”

“Jesus Christ dude.
I can’t stop listening to Blues or Astroblue.”
– Rob (Arturo Got The Shaft), 21 January 04
“I downloaded the b-sides yesterday and I must say if these are what was left out, the album must be pure gold. I was always a fan, but the new stuff is so much better. I’m really excited to hear the final product…”
