See what a little splash of colour does to a post?

I have no desire to share the music I make with the bunch here. Nor would there be any point. It would just be one more thing for people to be jealous about and nit-pick and take issue with. Why do you think people disclaim their offerings as "shameless self promotion?" Because it is exactly that. It it works for them, then great. To me, it just seems needy. Collect your efforts and put them onto board compilations. That's really the only way not to look like a jackass. If you do have a band that plays gigs, then you have a right to post about it. If you don't, then don't be a cheese. Just some advice.


BREATHe


atari's posts are better if read in yellow.

beatuty is in the eye/ear of the beholder... deafness/blindness is common in "other" people.........................

the fun thing about pushing music on people is their initail impression....
example.... i pushed lightning bolt on a few mates whom id reckon would appreciate it. i burned th power of salad dvd for thm first and they were instantly amazed by it. i then went on to do the albums and low nd behold we have a legion of lb fans in wexford town and that has trickled down to their younger siblings. there i about 5 or 6 handmade bolt teeshirts floating around schools in wexford... the other side of the coin is my fascination on merzbow and the magik markers..... that hasnt hit so hard.....YET!!!!!

id push my own music but i havent a musical talent in my body so i dont do, i talk a lot about it instead........

I am a man, a man with four fingers
A man with four fingers on my hand
I am a man, a man with four fingers
But that doesn't coun't my thumb.
I am a man, a man with three fingers
A man with three fingers on my hand
I am a man, a man with three fingers
But that doesn't count my index finger or my thumb.
I am a man, a man with two fingers
A man with two fingers on my hand
I am a man, a man with two fingers
But that doesn't count my middle finger, my index finger, or my thumb.
I am a man, a man with one finger
A man with one finger on my hand
I am a man, a man with one finger
But that doesn't count my ring finger, my middle finger, my index finger,
or my thumb.
(whistling solo)
I am a man, a man with no fingers
A man with no fingers on my hand
I am a man, a man with no fingers
But that doesn't count my pinky or my ring finger, my middle finger,
my index finger, or my thumb.

...sorry for some reason i thought this would be relevent......

Hey, farmhouse - You've posted 60 times, and you're still only on one square of rep. Has no-one repped you at all? Or have you been upsetting people and getting negative rep?

ALIEN ANAL 05.30.2007 09:05 AM

Anyone who says they don't care about the rep thing is only lying to him or her self. You wouldn't be so meh about it if you were top of the pile.

Did you have to quote him, Porky? I've been enjoying not knowing what he's saying for the last few weeks.

Nope, the real shame lies in you not choosing century gothic for your style of reply, and I got there first, you see?

farmhouse 05.30.2007 09:52 AM

sarramkrop 05.30.2007 09:55 AM

Why do you not quote and reply like everybody else does? Go on, quote me and I'll give you as much rep as you want.

You'll never get to page one of the rep table if you carry on acting like a misery-guts.

Ok Ok, but aren't the viagra threads enough for you?

two things:

a) sarcarsm mixes well with uncomfortable truth...

b) no, I do not feelt it was harsh in any way. If anything, I felt that he was being way to harsh on himself regarding his art. while it is HIS art, my point was that it isn't really art until it is shared. see, everybody in this world has an imagination, and what separates everyday imaginitive people from artists is that artists have the ability to tangibly recreate and express their imaginations to other people. if you do not share what you create, it realistically remains in your head, regardless if you wrote, recorded, painted, or otherwise manufactured it.

it's only art if it's shared with others? i beg to differ. that's probably the dumbest thing i've ever read. if and when it's been recorded, it has been created, tangibly, and there's really no further need to share it with others if one doesn't feel the need to do so. music isn't always created to serve the purpose of another. sometimes it's purely selfish and intimate and it's actually pretty heavy handed to think that everything created is worthy as being deemed art. actually, it depreciates the artistic value of anything actually worth a damn.
