I never posted in there. So I don't know if it was a positive or negative thing in art. It is a younger forum than audio by nearly a decade and had tighter rules due to that. We have an advertisement thread. Self promo threads just feel very odd. I always thought this forum, as cliquey as it can be, was about bootstrapping new musicians, not self congratulatory. If a dude had an album, that deserved a post. But a new submission to the portal shouldn't.

good lord this could be its own thread in general
I did that years ago by never having a cell-phone - it's amazing how weird you feel when everyone else is "plugged in" around you and you're not..


I only just got a smartphone like a year ago. My Dad and I had to switch because our provider doesn't give out flip phones. To be fair the flip phones we got before the carrier switch were overpriced and terrible, like my dad and I had our phones from Verizon for like at least a decade and my original flip phone (which I thought I broke but actually worked just fine) still works to this day. Can't see why we have to have these stupid annoying husks of junk. It's like every other time I open the thing... Turn it on? IDK how you call, in any case Whenever I go to use it I tend to be in a stupor as to how I get to what I want.


I do like that I have a Bible application that keeps track of my reading plan, but these things are really kind of pointless. I can't understand how people waste so much time with them, other than doing everything with it wastes time because they are ridiculous to navigate. I like to use mine for music too. My old coworkers always thought my music was weird, then I got the phone and could play more genres at the flick of a... swipe? Stupid... Anyhow, I tended to listen to Gospel Reggae, jazz, trip-hop, bossa-nova, zimbabwean afro jazz, dub, gospel bluegrass, etc


I had this one coworker who was 18 and he came up to me every day asking what the heck we were listening to and I'd have to explain it to him.

I don't know how you take many of us musicians' psyches, but I personally never could see it as self-congratulatory.


I mean, you have musicians who, unless they think they're the shit (and believe me, these are few), basically putting their hearts on display in their audio threads. It may not appear that way, because all they're posting is their stuff, but think about what it could mean for many of them. Many struggle with self-belief. And if they leave their work there, they're hoping that someone might come and listen, and not basically pooh-pooh them for even posting in their own portfolio thread.


And for the art forum having stricter rules: I might add that the system currently in place in the audio forum, with the audio threads unique to each user, is no different from the art portal. Might even add that we're stricter than the art forum, in the sense that we won't tolerate even when someone has an *insert brain here* moment and mistakenly puts up another audio thread when they already had one existing. That sort of thing happens often on the art forum, and there isn't a dedicated advertisement thread there (so, "let me critique your stuff" threads happen infrequently there). And yet, for all its laxity,


1) no one is under the impression that the art forum is dead,

2) no one is under the impression that any particular artist is trying to be a cheeky braggart by simply posting their stuff. Unless they are indeed a cheeky braggart when they *don't* post their stuff, and that's a different matter altogether.

You know, you could use a bit of self-reflection. People post their works here in the hopes that someone takes notice and maybe gives them their critique on it, not to essentially wave their glory around saying, "Look what I did, ain't it impressive? Bravo for me," or something along those lines. There are lots of people willing to help new musicians, but with the attitude you take regarding things like this, you sort of kill your own hopes and chances of someone willingly putting their advice out there for you. You call them pretentious, yet you don't seem to realize just how pretentious you yourself sound.

I respectfully disagree, I'm all about new music, reviewing, advising. I have a wealth of experience. I don't brag. There's old school peeps here who taught me and I taught. I just don't see a bond its all snark and pomposity. I don't post to the forum as its anarchic. No respect for what's gone, no interest in the future. If people want to be constructive, wanna share ideas and want help. lets do that. But you won't. You're stuck up your own arses to give a fuck.

I was trying to point out to both you and ZipZipper that pitbulljones was quite likely making a joke, by stating one thing and then directly contradicting it for comedic effect; a form of irony.


A similar example is stating "Don't fucking swear!" - insisting people don't swear, while doing the exact opposite of that.

I like to assume people are joking with stuff like that, it's unlikely many people are so far up their own own arse like Mr. Trump unironically referring to himself as humble and such.

I'm digging the new massive. The presets showcase a variety of styles, not just wubwub. Of course the real fun is creating your own patches. I especially like the improved comb filter, for semi realistic guitars and strings.

I see you you performed the classic technique of isolating a sentence and then extrapolating a narrative to it without purveying the rest of my comment. Generating an argument and posting ad hominem attacks when context was twisted and misconstrued. To single out a statement of truth. One where I could have elaborated and expanded upon, but chose not to, is not bragging nor literal irony. It's for the shame of yourselves that you immediately reacted with malice and vindictiveness. If you bothered to engage in a more forthright debate, I would happily have entertained you. Alas, what you confirmed to me was my initial observations. A group of self aggrandising individuals with an utter disregard for what has gone before and only has self serving interests. You vilify rather than engage and disenfranchise new talent. I'm sure I'll hear more pithy arguments from you all. Look within yourselves first and fix this place up.

Hmmm...


To the point though...if you really wanna make a difference, don't blame pretentious n00bs, like me I guess, and then leave it to us to look within and 'fix this place up' oops there's your irony again. Also, I would suggest interacting with the villains in real life that disenfranchise new talent, because the first thing you'll find out is that it takes a lot less vocabulary and much more action than a forum could ever produce. If you really care about exposing talent, you'd be investing that language for a better opportunity. Otherwise, you're just as self-serving as me, yearning for a time past when you felt more relevant and didn't have to share the site with as many users.


Trust that I, if not a whole lot, of the users here don't feel the same as you in some capacity. But, I was once as pessimistic and formulated as your responses. And then, I moved to Los Angeles, one of the biggest villains in the world, to actually meet people and educate myself by raw experience...and one big lesson I've learned, that sounds too simple, is that no one wants to listen to a griper.

He went to the chiropractor today and they told them they basically have to start back at square one - did some adjustments, told him he can't work out for at least a couple weeks. He has a rental car at the moment - he has collision insurance but it's still gonna cost him 500 bucks.. poor guy.. but at least he's alive.

I always tell him he's too stubborn to die, although he really thought he was done for this time.. it was a big deer too, came outta nowhere and he couldn't slow down.

I am just glad he is alive and somewhat okay :(
