i've been so dull lately... i feel sad for no reason and incredibly lonely. thankfully, i still have inspiration. it's just i hear all this music, and then i hear mine, and it makes me think my music isn't good enough for anyone but myself. i keep thinking that all this struggling to live the dream i've had since i was 5 years old is for naught and that maybe it's all been pointless. i mean, i know i should take most criticism with a grain of salt, but i can't help but be severely annoyed and upset when someone comments on one thing ruining a whole song - i know they're trying to think of how my music can be improved and i appreciate that. but it's just that whenever i think i've written something fantastic, someone else hates it. *sigh* |

ah, dude, i know what you mean, but your music really is good. do you like making music? or do you just want to be a rock star? if you're not doing it because you like it, then maybe you're not doing it for the right reason. if you are doing it because you like it, then just keep on keepin' on, your mood will improve. you've just hit a sour spot, maybe. |

yeah, maybe. i DO love writing music, but i'd like it to be what i do for a living someday. i don't necessarily want to be a rock star - i just want to write music. |

he's right, you know. but what he doesn't mention is that it's not just xltronic, it's the whole fucking world. |

Ho ho! Ignore what anyone says about your music.. unless you know them, you've got no idea why their comments are the way they are. Lot's of people diss things because they're jealous, un-educated in what you're trying to do, feeling a bit of power that they can 'crush your dreams', having fun being naughty, etc. Make music that you love and that's it. If you're trying to make 'pop' music, that's a different thing but if you're trying to express yourself musically, then do it... |

What I like about your music is that you are fearless. Not many would have the balls to do that antarctica anthem you did, the way you did it. I was listening to a mix disk at work today and damned if Rocking Paris the Lovely Way wasn't the most fun tune on there. The guitar is so gleefully sloppy, and the happysad tom waitsy chord organ like a tin can blowing in the wind... |

oh why thank you fleetmouse. that makes me feel better. and thank you you jivver - because you're most likely right - i feel my music is always an audio form of poetry about what is inspiring me at the time. i hope to put out a cowboy sugarcakes album eventually.... and i'm hoping to have my three albums that were discontinued online for FREE soon. |

this one time we were driving on I-76 right outside of philadelphia and we were stoned as fuck and our lane started to disappear as there were cones directing it to merge into the lane to our left. however, there was a tractor trailer to our left, and the cones just kept pushing us closer and closer to it. when we got to our destination in philly, we were all so high we couldn't remember how that situation was resolved, so we determined the only logical explanation was that we were all dead. |

ps i got my part of "joe vs the fax machine mix" finished and sent it to josh. he'll add guitar approximately "when he feels like it" which i really have no idea when that is. |
||||||||
|

|
|
that rules. i've had some similar driving experiences in and around philly. weird. |

oh and while i'm spamming this thread: oddio - MAKE BREAKCORE TRACKS! you definitely have talent when it comes to making those breaks. that's what you need to harness. |

wait...this ONE time we were smoking and driving on a 3 lane highway outside philly when someone was coming HEAD ON in our direction. we screamed "FUCK TYLER YOU'RE IN THE WRONG LANE WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" and he swerved to the right and we missed him. THEN we realized that the other lane was on the other side of a 4 foot high cement wall. the guy was going the wrong way on a large highway. :o |

i'll probably start writing more of those again soon. my fourth album, if it is ever released, will consist of mainly breakcore. cowboy sugarcakes is sort of like my summer condo - i can always go there and relax. |

they're fucking crazy in philly. there's a couple of times i was driving back from philly to ny late at night and i was so tired, i have no idea how i made it. |

i know, i was just feeling pretty disheartened all day today, but i'm feeling better now. |

yeah i go through those spells now and then. you just gotta make sure you dont worry about what other people think about it. Of course its nice to know people enjoy yours, mine, whoevers shit. But you also gotta realize WHY you like your shit, cuz you do, i know you do. I see my shit as a stepping stone for something greater. I dont mind the quality all that much, because im almost treating it as practice. Sure, I love it, but if other people dont quite like it, i dont care cuz im kinda,,,experimenting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's true though, I can say you suck oddio, your 'music' is fucking shit! where's the originallity??????? or WOW!! Where can I download your tracks!!!!! me and my girlfriend were getting off on your music! can you send me a CDR???? Make your music,. |
||||||||

no no, this was when i lived in albany, ny, so it's not near as bad. earlier this year i did drive from albany to houston nonstop by myself though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, just make music that you like. if you like it, chances are, there are other people out there that will like it too. you just gotta find those people. i know that when i hear your tracks, i generally like them. if i ever sound harsh criticizing them, i want you to know, that i am just trying to remain objective and honest so that you will respect my opinion and not think i'm just blindly hyping up your shit. I would expect the same from anyone criticizing my shit cuz i want to know how i can improve or at least what my peers consider good music. but yeah, your shit is generally good i'd say. i think we have a little different musical tastes and that might be reflected in my reviews, but yo, i am just one man. you gotta make yourself happy before you please me i'd wager. |

i think if you want to make a living creating music, you should consider a change of style. very few artists make a living from electronic music. yet, clearly the styles of music that you choose relate to your own personal aesthetic. you explore the music according to your own needs and interests. so ask yourself, what is missing within yourself that leads you to seek validation from others? i think there is more to this answer than that you want to make a living playing music (i'm not saying that making a living playing music isn't important to you, only that your desire for acceptance and validation is more complex and derives from something other than this practical goal). maybe a good lesson would be to identify one of your favorite, better-known-by-the-public cds. then go to amazon.com, and load only the one star reviews. richard d. james album? there's always someone who says "worst cd ever"! i wouldn't ignore what other people say, and i wouldn't say that all people are fucktards. people appreciate music for many reasons, emotional, aesthetic, intellectual, structural, personal association, fulfilment of expectation, for lyrical sentiments, and so on. they have needs and interests that are as unique and valid as your own. it may be natural to appreciate when others enjoy your music, but it is also natural to understand that not everyone will enjoy it. stop trying so hard to find a reason to make yourself loveable. you are already loved. make your music for you and the people that enjoy it, and let the people who don't enjoy it seek to fulfill their needs and interests in their own way. or maybe you're just fishing for compliments! ; ) |

when i was ten years old, while riding in the car with my family near philadelphia we came across an elderly man driving the wrong way down the entrance ramp. he would have been driving on a major highway for many miles, the wrong way. as he pulled up closer to us, my father pulled over and waved for him to stop. the elderly man insisted that my father was the one who was driving the wrong way, and continued to exit the entrance. lastly, we are not dead. we are simply not alive. |
