Are people too consumed in their own tracks to really appreciate others? Lets discuss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|

Ok. I wasn't entirely sure myself. Its just something I've wondered about from time to time. |

to many people spam and dont listen to others i am part guilty of this i d/l every track i see on here but i lose the threads easly and cant be arsed to find them to comment |
||||||||

I helped you out there :) But i guess people are to consumed in their own genre/style they don't appreciate others, i.e. I saw this topic lately on a other mb, about this new artist "gravenhurst" on warp, people judged the guy before even hearing his music cause he referse to music artists that aren't in the genre/style people listen to; they are so stupid and definately not open minded |
||||||||

gravenhurst is good i was shocked when i saw warp had signed them |

well fuck me silly |
||||||||
|
|

when i have a decent connection i will download everyone's tracks... and make my personal album collection of xlt artists... ill be patient. |

Yeah I'd agree that there are a number of posters who 'spam' but don't bother to check out others music. I mean I don't want to be excused of double standards on any issue but I think out of courtesy if some has commented on your track then one should return the favour. That said I wouldn't want to enforce it or seen to be Nazi over it. A lot of people just don't have good manors and thats just the way it goes I guess. |

i was reading the instructions on a Lady's Feminine Wash product in the walgreens the other day, and it said to only listen to other peoples tracks if they listen to mine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i've never felt so fresh |

i like it when people check my tracks, but i don't like the idea of people feeling obligated to listen, or people feeling that i am obligated to listen to theirs because they listened to mine. i sure as hell don't listen to make anyone feel good; i listen because i'm interested in hearing what people are up to and have heard some great music as a result. i like to give positive feedback. just so you know, though, i won't tell you if your music is shit. you say you don't mind criticism, but we both know you can't take it! : P i am unquestionably, however, my own biggest fan. |

Well sure everything you say is a given. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the joke is that Lady's Feminine Wash product is more commonly refered too as "douche" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really do what I can to check out, and review, other peoples tracks, as I would like them to check mine... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a given? obviously not, promo. otherwise, why would people repeatedly refer to listening to someone's tracks as a "favor" to be returned? why would people then list the expectation of reciprocation as a motivation for listening to other's music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well broadly speaking I'd agree with them but broadly speaking I agree with what you wrote also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i download and comment on tracks if and when i see them :) i do try my best to listen and give constructive views, because i would like other people to listen and give constructive views on my stuff too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As soon as my life is back together I'll start reviewing again... not to fear, not to fear |
||||||||

i haven't been d/l ing peeps stuff lately. been kinda busy and only just lurking around here. sorry peeps. |

There are certain people here who I would say have no sense of fun about their music making, seeing it as an intellectual artform, and wanting to be taken as a serious musician. The same goes when people review other peoples tracks, some people are just far too serious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

That post started out promising and got kind of repetitive in the second sentence. Need some breakbeats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't paying attention. was looking at panties. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I was thinking that but I was typing it through an old keyboard which meant that the quality suffered a little bit plus you musn't be on the same intellectual level as myself to understand this style of message. |
||||||||

|

Oh I see - it's the aliasing from your keyboard that makes you appear to repeat yourself - or is it variations on a theme variation on a theme variation on a themes variations a themes on |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh that...that was all fully intentional...I like that shit kind off sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

mm, well, I don't know about my own music, but I try to take other people's music serious. I mean, I try to give real criticism not just something like "cool" or something. try to really say something. this is also why I don't listen to everything, only now and then - it just takes me some time to give a good listen and write something decent. I don't know if that's what you mean by taking people's music too serious..? (that said, I always like it when the music makes me laugh - be it something in structure or a sound.) |
||||||||
|
|

I completely agree with plaidzebra on this. I truely appreciate it when someone listens and comments, but noone should feel pressured. I therefore dislike it VERY much when, say, person A posts in a music thread by person B to say they will listen and at the same time asking if person B would now please check out person A's own music, as some kind of trade - especially if person A's music threads already get a reasonable amount of attention. |

presumably when people are asking for feedback they want to know what you think about it... perhaps they would like to hear your suggestios as to how to make it better... granted they may not accept the criticisms, but i always figured they'd rather hear my suggestions than just some goofy response that has nothing to do with anything... i mean, if a track strikes me a certain way, then i'll say what it is i have to say... but as far as i know, a lot of the artists are looking for constructive criticism... am i wrong? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no. I believe you to be right. |

(If you're refering to me in Archrival's thread earlier this evening) I did that because I know Archrival likes my stuff and also that he likes Jazz. I wasn't even notifying "the general populance" of its existance until promo suggested I make a new thread for it. (If you're not refering to me, sorry for getting paranoid :-) Deadeight: Yeah, I like constructive criticism, so long as it's worded politely it's very useful. Sometimes, if a track is really awful and I can't say anything nice/positive about it, I just won't mention that I DLed it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're getting paranoid! :) no, I'm more referring to the people who make a habit of it. really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He he, I was about to argue that I don't do it very often at all, if it was directed at me ;-) Some people on here whose music I really like (and regularly comment on) have never commented on my music. Doesn't bother me really, perhaps they share my "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" attitude and just don't like it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i think the same way as braindance here ive seen people wreck things for themselves by taking themselves so seriously that they abuse people for having a different taste. but really, over-intellectuallising on either the author or the listeners behalf takes a lot of fun out - which should be the point! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, people who make music are full of themselves and think theyre the best. theyre not the best, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i beleive so .... that is why i choose not to make my own music, in all honesty ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always try to listen to people's tracks. the only reason i don't do so more often is because i'm on a phone connection. i try to return criticism to everyone whenever they critique me, but it isn't always possible. besides, if i were too consumed with my own music - then i'd lack inspiration completely, because other music is what gives me inspiration the most amongst other things. :) |

No, this board is good for listening to other people's stuffies, and saying good things about bad music. Not that anybody here makes bad music... because that simply isn't the case! |
