SoundClick artist: Time To Talk (US) - synth, korg, triton, synthesizer, alternative, cover songs, indie

Time To Talk is the solo work of me, Terry L. Roberts Jr. Basically I'm a 1 man orchestra. Sike. I miss the word sike, it's a good word. Right now it's mostly covers, some are ok, some are just dreadful, but it's all in good fun. Recording is a new hobby for me so I'm just learning. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to be the next Bell Biv Devoe at this time but when this physical therapy thing gets old I'm thinking about going platinum. The first thing I'll buy is some platinum teeth with spinning rims and mini-plasma tv's installed in my mouth. Check back often, I try and post new stuff as much as I can. Leave me a comment, tell me it sucks donkey balls or sounds like you took a pile of horse crap and just shoved it in your ear. Thanks to everyone who downloaded. 24 covers in the top 50 at some point? Couldn't have done it without my 3 fans out there! Any suggestions/tips/reviews are welcome.

My facebook page is under Depantsing Mannequins. Friend me bi***es!

Why this name?

Favorite song of all time by a band called Open Hand, tis what you call an oldy but goody. It was between this or Depantsing Mannequins, I think that'll be the album title.

Do you play live?

I play live in my skin-tight flesh colored underoos in my 2nd bedroom, that's about it. Preferably Scooby Doo or Incredible Hulk, depending on my mood. My Captain America ones recently ripped at the seams. R.I.P. Capt. America undies, gone but not forgotten.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Only if Hasselhoff was the manager and he promised to show me how to eat a burger while drunk on the floor. I'd also work for a few others. They include (in no particular order) Mr. T, Webster, Vince the ShamWow guy, dear old Capt. Noah, Corey Hart, and Tony Danza.

Band History:

It all started when I was born, I finished kindergarten, grade school, high school, college, and grad school where I met myself and decided the two of us should start a world famous synth and acoustic rock band. After I fell into an Cinnamon Toast Crunch induced coma in the early 80's, I decided to give music a rest a rest a become an official toenail clipper. Later, in the year of our Lord 2009, I decided to once again plug the amp in. The rest as they say....is history...
