Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Oingo Boingo, the pinnacle of musical expression.

9-11 isn't funny yet, it's only been 9 years, not even 9.5 so far. Something tragic can't be funny until it's been 22.3 years. Hence why the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, slavery, "Civil Rights" and Queers are funny.

Show some sympathy.

You're sight and taste must come into question if you consider that - thing to be cute. Also, what does a Dutch monster that dwells amongst bridges have anything to do with my post? Last I checked I didn't kidnap children for treading too near a home under an overpass that I don't have to begin with.

I ruined my mother's adulthood when I told her God isn't real. Sorry for being honest.

I would, but my math skills are just average. I don't know if I have the math skills to get an engineering degree.

If you're math skills are just average, I doubt you could handle the programming degree. That requires, generally: Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, an upper level math elective (usually Calculus 3 or higher), Business Statistics, knowledge of Boolean Algebra, Physics 1, Physics 2

and a strong working knowledge in each one of those subjects to properly perform programming tasks.

No lawyer in Florida is willing to represent AB or anyone affiliated with it for "personal" reasons. I don't even know who is representing me until tomorrow.

Wait wait wait...I know this sounds irrelevant, but i need to know what "AB" stands for. If it stands for what I think it is, you're pretty much fucked.

The AB is the Aryan Brotherhood, I just joined the Miami chapter in August. We were out at a party and then this trumped up bullshit started. We were invited to this guy's house, and he was serving us, and there was just a little accident and the torch got knocked over when I was joking around with my pal Josh. Now the homeowner is trying to make this my fault, even though he invited me and was serving alcohol.

We were invited so a lot of us came over, some of them were in AB and it got a little rough, that's how the torch got knocked over. Those guys always roughhouse but it's cool, this was just an accident!

What is that supposed to do?

I have a fucking hearing tomorrow afternoon. I was at a party earlier this month and we were drinking a lot (amongst other things) and I accidently tipped a tiki torch over and part of the house we were partying in got a little burned. Now I'm facing felony vandalism and criminal mischief charges! Son of a bitch, it was an accident! I didn't do anything wrong and I could end up going to jail now for at least 16 months! Fuck!

It's not like this was intentional so the homeowner has no right to press bullshit charges like this. He's trying to make it a hate crime, saying that it was an assault on his home and family for their religion (Jews) when it was nothing but a party! Fucking assholes.

I'll fight this and win! How can I go about doing that? I've been in jail twice this past year for a few trumped up parking/moving vehicle violations so that is going to be against me.

I am completely serious. I can't spend 16 months or LONGER in jail! Especially when I didn't do anything, I just don't know what to do now!

Yup, religion does have it's benefits even if it's not true.

Proven? LOL. There is no proof at all that Jesus existed. Jesus is a common name, it is the Greek variation of Joshua, and a large number of known rebels were named Jesus in the 1st century CE, but none of them were from Nazareth. Reason being that Nazareth didn't exist until much much later and it was built purely to back up the myths of Christ. It is the town that theology built.

There is no god, there is no Jesus but there was a Rome that crucified violent criminals/insurgents that probably had the name Jesus since it was so common. If Jesus was proven real, why is there no contemporary history of him? Josephus, the great historian from the 1st century never mentions a Jesus, only in the context of Christianity, and even he doubts the man existed. Rome was obsessive in its documentation of events, it is the most documented ancient civilization on Earth. Even the Middle Ages are less documented due to the massive decrease in education. Yet in a period where every detail on an event, a history, a chronicle, an epic poem etc. was written and preserved in volumes of work from writings to mosaics, why is there no mention of a Jesus outside the Gospels or in the context of the religion? The answer is obvious.

Thanks in advance for anyone really able to help.

Follow the standard progression: Ab7, Db7, Eb7 over the 12 bar form. For soloing, focus on the type of scale you'd use. Don't limit yourself to just the blues scale unless you're playing strictly blues. If you're in a jazz blues setting, use the half-whole scale or tritone substitutions over the main chords.

Floridian. It's clams, crawfish, flounder and shrimp chowder with a wine broth.

I got in, but never went. It wasn't anything in particular, but I had this gut feeling saying I'd screw myself if I followed through with it.

I ended up studying history and later a double in graphic design and interactive media (web design, animation, game etc.) and it was a much better choice. Having HTML, Flash and design skills has given me a huge career field and it's very steady and reliable. Which is nice considering I have a girlfriend and a 5 month old daughter. Adding skills in digital media and photography is also a huge plus I've had.

I still do music, I'm releasing a single this week for my upcoming album, but I don't even WANT a career in it! It's too much time away from family and friends, and less money than what I'm doing now. On top of this, I've found I've done more with music now than I could have with a degree in it. I made a lot of contacts and did scoring and sound design for animation, games, and interactive programs for the Web. It keeps music a part of my life and career without being part of the cruel and often unrewarding "industry".

I know 3 guys who went to Berklee too and would have been in my class, they played piano, guitar and bass and majored in Music Production/Engineering, Professional Music (Berklee's design your own major) and Music Business. All three work at Best Buy or Ultimate Electronics now and all they do is play video games and dream of making it big, but now that they graduated, they have no fans; all their followers were students and in the real world, they have little to no appeal to the larger audience. The band has changed so much, new drums, singers, etc ever few months and the number of gigs they do is dropping rapidly. Sadly, this is the fate the majority of music majors will face.

My advice is to go into a field that's reliable, has a promising future and demand and keep music on the side. If you can incorporate music into what you're doing, then go for it, but never rely on it as a career.

I doubt that. You just suck too much to do anything with those giant fucking man tits of yours. You're girlfriend is an ugly tiny tit dog and I'm sure your kid is no fucking slouch. You are a moron who couldn't handle something like the music industry, even if you COULD fucking play an instrument correctly. I'll remember to call you for graphic design or web programming, I could use a fresh coat of retard's drool on my keyboard; that stuff's better than grease. There is NOTHING you are any good at, the only person who would hire you is Helen Keller; she's immune to your incredible suckitude on all levels, visual and audio.

Behold this moron's ugly girlfriend, and fuck your giant man tits:

I'm pretty sure that should cover it. Keep in mind, premade loops of ANY KIND are not your own original work, seeing as, you know... they were "premade" by someone else, I.E., not you.

That's the problem with the rules IMO, people tend to just look at the second of the 2 things I bolded and assume as long as it's a free loop that means they're allowed to use it. But you are supposed to adhere to all the rules, you can't just pick and choose.

The problem with this site is that they say copyright loops, but don't allow any premade loop because it's not your own. Understandable, but that's not what the rules say because the rules stress copyrighted loops, not premade regardless of copyright. If that were cleaned up I'm sure this issue would finally drop. It's not the submitters, it's the ambiguity of the rules on premade loops.

It needs to stress premade AND copyright, because as they read now, there is nothing in context of those rules that prohibits premade loops (or samples from public domain sources for that matter), just copy written ones. If these rules were to appear in a contract, they would hold no water in court due to severe ambiguity. The rules DO NOT state that premade loops are not allowed, only loops you don't have a COPYRIGHT to.

The rules need to be rewritten to properly reflect the guidelines of the audio portal because right now they are contradictory, obscure and have created quite a few loopholes (lol).

How many replies can we post before this gets locked?

This only works for open chords. A violin has an arched set of strings, as does any bowed string instrument so that individual strings can be played but full chords have to be broken. A guitar only has a very slight curve in it's strings, not enough for bowing and the rosin will likely rip them apart, especially the high B and E. Strings for bowing are usually nylon with metal wound or gut, so you're just going to make your nearest luthier a richer man by trying this.

DJs jockey discs, work with other peoples' music and do beat mixing. They don't produce any of their own music and if they do it's through scratching discs and making other turn table sounds.

Producers make their own music and do not do any beat mixing. They also don't use a turn table unless, of course, they are a DJ too. I'm a producer and I have never used any discs to make music.

I've seen several producers who call themselves DJs when they don't actually use a turn table or do any beat mixing. I don't care if you think it sounds cool or whatever, but you are not a DJ

Technically a producer does none of that. A producer's job is to manage studio time, hire engineers, musicians and is in charge of the business aspect of the session, many producers are also musicians but will rarely produce their own sessions, and will usually hire at least a mastering engineer for third party perspective. Writer/producers do both, but a producer only does business, booking, and cliental-artist relations.
