*Wants crit so decides to suck up*

I've read some of your previous stuff and it seems pretty darn good (ok that wasn't a suck up really). Any idea whether you'll be returning to writing soon?

*Goes and finds a piece to crit :p*

It's not a case of not wanting to, it's more a case of not having any inspiration and a lot of writers block.

Hopefully it won't last too long. I go through periods of stagnancy, and then I have a monsoon of poems.

[QUOTE=Gypsy Campervan]Anyone heard of Federico Garcia Lorca?[/QUOTE]
I do, but I need to read a lot more by him.

I also enjoy... uh... he died a little while ago... Jaime Sabines.

Pretty interesting latin-american poetry.

whoa... what a dead community thread.

After a brief hiatus, I'm proud to announce that I'm back in the forum and I am also writing lyrics again. I'm about half-done with something now, so I'll be sure to post it when I finish.

I've been writing.

I mean:

"Lady sue,
Lady dressed in blue"

is probably the only line I've really come up with over the time, really, thinking of a funk/jazz kind of vibe, but since the whole idea isn't structured or anything like that, then al I can really say is I'm attempting to enter pop rock melodies. You know, to sell myself out.

That and a really, really awful death-metal, cannibal-corpse-esque lyric that just doesn't deserve going out to the public.

You should listen to Sigur Ros, just cause.

And Tanya Tagaq after he's done with Sigur Ros. He'll never speak a coherent language ever again.

Hopelandic > you.

Hey, ATC. I seem to remember you say you like some hip-hop. Is there any indie/experimental hip-hop stuff you can recommend?

Hmm sure. My tastes run to more of the trip-hop side but here're some I like.

CYNE
DJ Shadow
Kid Koala
Blackalicious
Herbaliser
Roots Manuva
Tricky
Danger Doom
Mike Ladd
Atmosphere
Soul Position
p.o.s

Atmosphere? Not bad...

Atmosphere's alright. Seven's travels was a good album as was Godlovesugly and Lucy Ford but the new album is horrible as are a lot of the other things he's done.

You'll enjoy most of the other acts listed because they've taken stuff you hear with Atmosphere to a higher level.

DJ Shadow is cool.

I just took a five hour nap. Anyone here into Stop It!!, they are on Robotic Empire.

DR, I think some of the ideas in my piece kind of escaped you.

I listen to Sigur Ros.

Anyhow, I don't have enough money to go around spending it.

I'm sad. I want money.

And thus the community thread died a tragic death. Well it's not quite dead, more suffering a terminal illness at the moment.

Which piece are you referring to?

what's going on mx?
I've been lurking for a while and I've noticed the writing quality has gone down hill...and V Day's been a poor influence on everyone. With this the exception of the regs/vets/whatever you wanna call yourselves of course ;)

My excuse for not posting anything is that I've been busy with school and my writing class has gotten into fiction/short story writing so I haven't had any time or energy for the lyrical side of life..

Keep posting and giving these kids something to work up to... tear them apart too so they know where they're going..


heh heh cheers :chug:

Oh indeed sloth. Beautiful bitch school.

That and college applications, aside from real life and lack of internet take away most of my time. I miss my internet. :( :(

Anyhow, I've been writing some stuff, but I still feel it's way too... basic. I don't know.

Tojes, where have you applied?

Sloth, do you think I've gone downhill? Just wondering...

P.S. I miss your stuff...

Nah DR, you're the ONLY one I've seen around lately with consistant writing... yeah, some of it's "basic" for lack of a better word, but it's better than most of the stuff I see..

I miss my stuff to..

Man, I wish I produced enough material to have a hill to GO down! At the moment, I think I'm still trying to work out what level I'm at in the first place. Been writing, on and off, for over 2 years, and could probably only find about 6 finished songs I've produced, maybe 2 of which I actually like. Ish. Meh, onwards.....

Hmmm, quality's certainly gone down. I'm just starting to get back into it again, a few new inspirations and stuff.

Been busy in the theatre and school though, so not loads of time for crit'ing the new lot and actualy sitting down and concentrating on my writing.

Keep on writing!!!

Tim

The newbies are all lame and don't want to learn how to improve, which is why I haven't been hanging out lately.

^ Word.

Is it just me or have you all been posting death/funeral songs recently just as so many people are coming in with these frankly nauseating Valentine verses?

Aye, I'll agree with you on that one APS.
