yo.

Please don't spam. :(

On a related note, I have a soccer game in half an hour.

I have just the music up to a song I'm going to clean up, layer, and add vocals to when I get home. Kind of sloppy, but you can hear what I'm going for.

i enjoy it, its just knida hard to see the screaming incorperated, have to hear more though.

hey...whoever..

I haven't been around for a WHILE.. Where is everyone? Who are the regulars now?

Is there anything out there worth reading and critting?

Nope. Nothing exists in this forum anymore. In fact, the forum itself is merely a figment of your imagination.

Haha.
I haven't been crit'ing much in the past few days. Must get down to it again. I find I learn a lot from writing the more detailed crits. Though some writing at the moment does only deserve a short paragraph.

Welcome Home Sloth. Hope you're here to stay :P

Sup Sloth. I'm here.

The thing is I haven't written a single piece that was worth really making. On the other hand, I haven't really spotted too many great pieces. I see a couple good ones and I lurk a bit, but not like I used to.

Cough im still here cough cough
cough piece cough first cough page cough
welcome back cough cough
sloth cough cough

Does Josh still post around here?

Who's Josh?

Username please.

Whoops. I mixed up two different people. I was thinking of IOWNU200. He still post?

every once and again

What about Morrissey?

She says she's not interested in songwriting anymore.

That made me a little sad but I recovered and that's about it.

Too bad for her, she was pretty good at it.

Hahahahaha

Oh sorry.

hello fellow song writers, it's been awhile since i've posted, but I've beens tricken with another path of inspiration, so I should be pumping some more songs out and getting more involved in the community, how've things been going in here?

Really bad, in my opinion. There are a lot of one line crits, and bad songs, with no possible chance of improving.

But there's good stuff here and there, so yeah. :)

more **** too wade through, but you find a little hint of gold everyonce and a while. Noobs worth lookin at:
Slackjaw
Deadreligion
MidnightHysteria
Drumass

aside from that nothing that ive seen is too great, aside from old pros.

I wish more people would post edits. They either say thank you or disagree with you, and you never get to see what they've done with the piece.

Heh, Voodoo, I'm flattered you think my stuff is worth looking at. Am I considered a noob though, I've been on for like 9 or ten months...Hmm, well whatever, at least I'm "worth looking at". Lol, that's good enough for me. Is JustinHughes a noob? I didn't see his join date...he's done some pretty rad stuff. Anyway, yeah, I can't think of a whole lot of good noobs...so I'll just stop talking now.

Yeah. I'm also honored to be on there, despite having posted about 5 pieces on here in 3 or 4 months.

Well i said that as:
your peices are moderate, much better than average noobs
and you are diligant about crits, which is very good.

PS
midnight, you havent been here for more than four months

I should probably start writing non-practical lyrics again.

thanks man, appreciate that, I dig your stuff too. :chug:

ps: why has the S&L Thread been so dead lately? seems like no one is ever viewing/critiquing/releasing much..sad..

It's strange. I had never lived one of the waves of great stuff here at S&L. When I came, it was sh¡tty as hell. I got along with some oldsters, and then I felt really good in this community, to the point where I spent here more time than the whole entire site.

Anyhow, as time passed by, I was left with less time to look at other people's stuff, therefore, I was left with hardly ever something worthy to say, but usually giving some advice. All in all, I suppose I could be around more, but I became an elitist prick who feels bad about givig critiques to newbies because I'm sure they'll never give feedback.

Although I get enough good feedback anyhow.

don't become an elitist prick :thumb:

and plus, it's nice to have someone around giving worthy critiques whether they're cruel or not, as long as it helps the person.

I'd gladly post more stuff if I honestly thought I'd get any good crits.

I post my writing whether I think users will like it or not, I just want feedback, whether it's negative or positive, as long as it's done in an appropriate way...I critique when I get the time, and I critique at LEAST once for every time I post a poem, more often more than once..
