If you want lyrics how about you click on the link where it clearly tells you its for lyrics. Then you might get some lyrics. The clue lies in the words "To read my lyrics".

Right, lets have some serious replies, with some actual constructive criticism, rather than tactless, vague comments that achieve nothing.

Am i overreacting? Possibly, but that post was a bit silly, on more than one level.

O.k. i read your orgnote....

so im really trying to be thoughtful here.....


this is my view,,,,,

org artist should not be used like a trash can....
get your feedback fix and fuck off... and i aint seen too
much of you interaction around here.....

so my feed back is exact with your level of interaction...

nothing more nothing less.....

I dont want to read lyrics...
i want to hear you sing... am i bad..?

I read enough already here.....

I hope this doesnt disturb you to much...

i am refraining from telling you to fuck off.....

but come back more...

lol

Dont get me all wronged leafer....

Rakel and others are doing EXACTLY the same....
i only give feed back when i get it.....
HOW F"n RUDE IS THAT...???

i come from a consumerist
angle when i listen to stuff...
and I'm just waiting for stuff
that's gonna make me run to records store...
or make me use a PayPal account..

You musician people should really look
at what your creating in your own environments...
your all saying listen to me listen to me... but
deaf to your own kind....

What is that..... ?

Sell me something.....

You only get feedback when you get it? Oh good, because i have some feedback for you. It goes like this :


- When someone posts 2 links, one for music and one for lyrics, go to both, then youll be in a position to comment on both. If you have trouble, politely tell them.

- When you arent able to access more than 1 piece of music on someones website, ask them to show you how to access the others, or try to figure it out, otherwise youre not in a position to comment on that persons music other than that 1 piece.

- When you give criticism, and you 1) Dont elaborate, and 2) you make it sound like an insult, the other person will 1) not learn anything about how their music comes across, and 2) insult you back, and rightly so.

- The world doesnt revolve around what you want to hear. People post what they have, and if you want to hear them sing and theres no singing, well thats just too bad. I wasnt thinking of you when i posted it. I was asking for comments on what exists, not on what doesnt.

- Insulting people and then implying that they cant take criticism is the sign of someone with no manners and who thinks they know it all. Most people can take criticism, what they dont want to hear is insults. They benefit no one except those who get a kick out of dishing them out.

- Your mistake is in automatically asuming that i or other musicians cant take criticism. Thats like an obnoxious person walking into a room and sulking when no one gets their offensive jokes.


Heres how you should have done it :


- You go to both websites, and listen to more than 1 piece of music, and read a few songs. Sorry but i dont often sing. Thats my business.

- You say whats good about it, and you say whats not good about it.

- You constructively explain each of your points. Unless of course you prefer being an asshole, masquerading under the banner of "consumerist angle".


Dont feel the need to return the favour, this advice was a freebie. And in future, since you have a philosophy of only giving feedback when you get it, why dont you stick to that.

If you played here more....

you'd know that's not my philosophy lol

I really sorry that you have
spent alot of time typing to
the wrong person...

I cant be bothered doing 2 click coz you cant be bothered
doing a copy and paste of your lyrics..... seems fair dont it...
I already went to your myspace... and i really dont like all the
junk mail you have to get before the music loads...

again... thats just a freebie from a consumer... not a muso...

so are you saying that your looking for a vocalist because
you dont sing alot...

coz its not often i buy lyrics less they come with a CD...
have ya thought about making a book of lyrics with no music.....
maybe your more a writer than a musician.....

Your getting funny,,,,, lol


Hows the weather over there....?
