Making a demo

Now I've sent demos off to about 30 different labels and
such with no reply, but now I want to really make something
that people can't ignore. I know I should put stuff I
believe in on it, but what do you all think would be a good
way of arranging and/or structuring it?

Sorry, but I'm bored, I figured advice has never hurt me,
and barely anyone else is posting. :P

Also write on the CD that you know me, and in the future
when I am famous I might ask you to remix me. See when
Kcinsu is famous he will be able to say that I remixed him
in the early days and as only me and him will have copies we
can be all cool like Richard. :D

I am half way through remixing you...and it is sounding
rather tasty to my ears at the moment.

I will listen to that remix when I look through my previous
25 posts tomorrow and remember I wrote this here.

Fuck 3 - 6 tracks max
put as many as you want on there and if they don't liek it
they'll stop after a few tracks or whatever.
why excess music could possibly be bad is beyond me

Why would a label be interested in someone that wont put out
their own product? Play shows and get big in your area.
Instead of sending those demos out to labels (whom get
THOUSAND of shit demos from you and I) send them to
promotors and clubs. Why the fuck not?

The free good is a term used in economics to describe a good
that is not scarce. A free good is available in as great a
quantity as desired with zero opportunity cost to society.

There are three main types of free goods:

Resources that are so abundant in nature that there is
enough for everyone to have as much as they want. An example
of this is the air that we breathe.

Resources that are jointly produced. Here the free good is
produced as a byproduct of something more valuable. Waste
products from factories and homes, such as discarded
packaging, are often free goods.

Ideas and works that are reproducible at zero cost, or
almost zero cost. For example, if someone invents a new
device, many people could copy this invention, with no
danger of this "resource" running out. Other examples
include computer programs and web pages.

Your music exists on a computer and has therefore entered
the category of the 3rd free good listed above.

However, intellectual property laws have the effect of
converting these goods to scarce goods by law. Although
these goods are free goods (in the economic sense) once they
have been produced, they do require scarce resources, such
as skilled manpower, to create them in the first place. Thus
intellectual property laws such as copyrights and patents
are sometimes used to give exclusive rights to the creators
of such "intellectual property" in order to encourage
resources to be appropriately allocated to these activities.

Yeah Oxygen I hae only ever sent one demo liek 6 years ago,
can't be fucked now with the post instead I give CDs to
people at IDM shows and occasionally to people who I know
who work on teh radio or just people who wanna hear it. I
always GIVE CDs, never mail.

BUT that's just me. Sending demos is good I just don't do
it.

Do you deliberately rearrange letters in words as some sort
of characteristic dyslexic orange dust gimmick? Well if you
do... shut up faggot. I'll cut you.

The way I type often has a bias towards misspelling certain
things the same way over and over again accidentally
do you make gay threads of gay nonsense posts on purpose?
shut up faggot i'll cut you
