Of course not, it's mp3.com afterall. When it gets approved I was planning to reply to my original topic, mentioning how disappointed I was that it didn't live up to all the "hype", or whatever pointless crack I was going on about in that topic. |

*sigh* I know what that's like with mp3.com - been a member under several names on there over the years. it was a great place back in the day, but once they started doing all this "if you pay us, we'll treat you better - if you don't, well go fuck yourself" attitude... letting all the unnoticed good songs go to waste while shitheads with a lot of money can pay-off mp3.com and get there song listed as #1 anywhere they want it... blah. |

yeah, and the messageboards were always so awful. Whoever runs it is more into buisness than music probably. |

that whole payola scam is just as bad an idea now as it was in the late 70's and early 80's. i mean, how fair is it to let someone place themself as #1 in all the charts, get 'priority' treatment, have their songs instantly approved, all because they have a few extra dollars to burn and can give to mp3.com - while hard-working musicians who can't afford to sell their soul that way just go on unnoticed by the majority of listeners who may actually be interested in buying that artists work? "i ain't no artist, i'm a businessman, got no ideas of my own" - (full lyrics on that link) |

Some of us make music. Why? because it's fun?... why is it fun? because it allows creation and creation is fun? What is creation? "making something that wasn't there before"? I think you need units, the more you have the more creative freedom you have... and you need some sort of geometric medium to arrange them... like time or space... If you are given one black block and one square indentation to place the block in, there is no creative freedom for you... there's only 1 unit to compose with and only 1 unit of geometric space. If you have 1024 square indentations (say, a 32 X 32 grid of space units) and 4 colors of blocks, you are much less limited in creative freedom. Why is creation fun? because you have to think out logical steps and rules? In DoomCad, you are given all the monsters and items and 3d geometric blocks of space as units... the large number of possible areas and monster locations allows a large number of possible creative possibilities. Yakity yak. |
