Anyone interested in collabrating?

StephanieAnkner	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 9:21 AM Anyone interested in collabrating with me on my already written or will write lyrics Please email me. Anknersangelz@yahoo.com with Collabration in the subject field so I know it is not spam. But first you must go to my lyrics website and check out the lyrics and see if there is anything that might be of interest wiht you. I write in all genre's and am open to the lyrics being tweeked if needed to fit the music/melody/beat. This is a non paid gig and communication is done via the web and email. No travel is required. I work on many levels which can be discussed before we agree to work together in writing via email. I normally work where I keep full 100% rights to my lyrics and you keep the 100% rights to all royalty for the music/arrangement vocals. Basically what you contributed and what I contributed is what we keep. It is only fair. However I am open to discussing 50/50 split even down the middle rights between you and I. Again this is all discussed once before we go ahead and start working together. I am signed with BMI as a lyricist. I will post the finished song on all my websites and will promote friends, family, and others to your website (if you post it) and as well as mine. I will do my best to get it out there and heard as long as you do the same. Remember this is only a demo and there is no guarntees anything will become of it or won't. Demo meaning you can use your beat on other projects or artists lyrics other then the one we did and as well as my lyrics can be used by other artist with their beat. That is if we do the 100/100 deal. But again it all depends on the agreement made. I would like to hear smaples so if you have any send them to me to listen to . Pick a song you like or want to do and we can go from there. ANy questions email me and do not forget to add me on myspace www.myspace.com/stephankner and www.myspace.com/StephanieAnkner add them both! Listen to my artist page at www.jamwave.com/StephanieAnkner

evansorchid	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 2:42 PM Another FRIDAY NIGHT IS HERE, AND YOU'RE ALREADY DRINKING, I'm NOT SURPRISED BY THIS, I KNOW YOUR way OF THINKING. Now YOU'RE READY TO GO OUT, Have your fun and DRINK SOME BEER. You'll throw back A FEW SHOTS, WHILE I wait and JUST SIT HERE. So this is what BMI is looking for? Maybe I should just fold up my card table and go home.
ShadowMom	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 2:45 PM So says the miniature golf on the moon man?
GeneHilbert	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 4:18 PM Between smaples, collabrating, wiht and guarntees....... Maybe less music and more time spent with a book would prove beneficial......
Opossum	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 6:28 PM I'm note quiet shirt I understrand. But I'm thminking of calibrating my bass soon, but I spose it depends on what measures I take.
leflaw	Date: May 1, 2008 @ 6:53 PM Boy, you guys are a tough audience!
evansorchid	Date: May 2, 2008 @ 12:19 AM Collabrating - Isn't that what what the doctors perform just before a colonoscopy to kinda 'loosen' you up?
ShadowMom	Date: May 2, 2008 @ 12:27 AM "what what" -- ahem. Tough audience, indeed!
zedsalt	Date: May 2, 2008 @ 3:58 AM "Accessible", "direct", "simple", "universal themes"...I don't see any need to ge nasty just because someone is writing to a much wider audience, potentially, than I am. Oh, and evansorchid, no matter what your proctologist called it, dimming the lights and putting on a Barry White CD are NOT part of a normal colonoscopy. Just thought you should hear it from a friend.
killoFunk	Date: May 2, 2008 @ 11:19 AM Hey Mom, when do the nominations come up for the new "D-music welcoming committee"? Don't know what made me think of it, just wondering...
ShadowMom	Date: May 2, 2008 @ 3:58 PM The new what? No one ever tells me anything! I haven't heard anything about this, sorry!
zedsalt	Date: May 3, 2008 @ 3:38 AM Have you seen those PSAs where a kid is being bullied on the playground, and a bunch of other kids circle around him and stop the bully? I figure that in real life, the bully would just smash and pound his way through the crowd, or maybe make a mental note of who stood in his way and single out those kids for later beatdowns. But here in the DMForums, the method used to be pretty effective. And now that I think about it, that circle was usually comprised of the same people who made me feel welcome here in other ways...like when I checked in about 12 hrs. after I'd posted music for the first time here, and there were 10-15 comments on each of my songs. I was just going to say that I wish those folks would stop by every once in a while, but y'know, evansorchid has always been really supportive of my work. Maybe he's just suffering some kind of crisis of confidence. I can't think of any other reason he'd have for slamming something just because it wasn't his cup of tea.

evansorchid	Date: May 3, 2008 @ 3:05 PM Geez guys, sorry if I offended a few of your sensibilities. I just thought that this was one of the silliest solicitations that I'd seen in quite a while. I mean seriously...the phrase 'no travel required' just about made me fall out of my chair.....then when she namedropped BMI....come on? I believe that if this person's moniker had been Stephen instead of Stephanie that we wouldn't have had this reaction. You may now go back to your life...already in progress.
Distilled1	Date: May 3, 2008 @ 3:17 PM I couldn[t find the beer lyrics the Country stuff is good and I can read it to a melody, country tune (well today country). Good luck Stephanie, there are a lot of great musicians here I hope some take you up on the offer and you all get a deal to sell the song
Rodrica	Date: May 3, 2008 @ 10:22 PM It's like being among a pack of wolves here sometimes. Each to their own I say. I often disagree with what someone has said or their attitude. But, unless they are personally flaming me, I don't see any need to launch an attack on anyone. I'm sure that if we don't like what we read, we've all got better things to worry about.
zedsalt	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 3:39 AM It always looks a little silly to debate the quality of creative endeavors...silly enough that I get embarassed for anyone in the position of critic (it's what makes "American Idol" too painful for me to watch). If the lyrics Ev' quoted are an example of Ankner's work, I can honestly say that while not anything I'd get real excited about, they're better than most of award-winning lyricist Diane Warren's work, and she holds the record for the most songs on the Billboard charts at once recorded by the greatest number of different artists.
zedsalt	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 3:42 AM There ya go, something for your onesheet: Zed Salt says, "...better than...award-winning lyricist Diane Warren (who) holds the record for the most songs on the Billboard charts at once recorded by the greatest number of different artists."
leflaw	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 5:43 AM This person might be the Next Kellie Pickler. who?
GeneHilbert	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 5:49 AM LOL
GeneHilbert	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 5:49 AM Trailers for sale or rent....
ShadowMom	Date: May 4, 2008 @ 8:52 AM It's always good to aspire... "Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to I bet you want me back now don't you, don't you I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels In my red high heels In my red high heels In my red high heels" You actually watch American Idle? And the first person who corrects my spelling gets drop-kicked through the goalposts. I believe in truth in advertising
zedsalt	Date: May 5, 2008 @ 3:15 AM Y'know, Gene, I got to meet Roger Miller once...pretty exciting for a man of means by no means such as myself...
zedsalt	Date: May 5, 2008 @ 3:18 AM I've never pickled a Kellie, but my ol' college roomate got a Kelly drunk a whole bunch of times.
GeneHilbert	Date: May 5, 2008 @ 4:05 PM When I was a kid I had a Roger Miller album, I played the shit of it. 'Cause you can't roller skate in a buffalo heard...... dang me.
ShadowMom	Date: May 5, 2008 @ 4:07 PM I would say, but I won't... my dad used to... never mind! But wasn't "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" another classic Miller tune?

Tattoomom	Date: May 5, 2008 @ 4:11 PM I'm a MAAAAN of means by no means.......KING of the road!!!
zedsalt	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 3:23 AM Little Jimmy Dickens popularized the song, S'Mom, but I keep thinking someone else wrote it...
ShadowMom	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 6:17 AM It must have been the buffalo herd that made me draw a blank.
leflaw	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 8:29 AM ...high from the highest treeeeeeee WOMAN don't you wait for me!!! doot doot doot doot doot doot... _____________________________________ Bonus question: What was the B side?
leflaw	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 8:30 AM ... or was that weep for me....
leflaw	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 8:32 AM Tie me kangeroo down, sport!!
leflaw	Date: May 6, 2008 @ 8:34 AM oops "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" is a song written by Rolf Harris in 1957 which became a hit across the world in the 1960s
ShadowMom	Date: May 7, 2008 @ 6:04 AM "And he tanned me hide when I died, Clyde, and that's it hangin' on the shed" -- they do NOT write lyrics like THAT any more!
leedsquietman	Date: May 8, 2008 @ 11:47 AM I notice that the original poster has been absent since the start of this thread. She may not have gotten off to the best start by quoting BMI, splitting royalties and posting links to many other music sites and omitting to post here (and yes, probably should have taken a little time to read up on the DM netiquette etc), but given the gang style asswhuppin' that went down, it's not much of an incentive to want to post anything else here either, is it ? And it's not like this is the first time. Constructive suggestions (which we often get from peopple like Distilled etc) might suggest to the poster that their music would be better appreciated if posted here but omit the negativity about posting elsewhere and heaven forbid anyone at DM should try and SELL their music or make a living from it (we all know, selling music is the stuff that sends you down South to Lucifer on judgement day, right ?)
Distilled1	Date: May 8, 2008 @ 3:27 PM music is the booby buchae' ! yep what Leeds said you all need me to break out my SL virtual BSDM gear don't you?
GeneHilbert	Date: May 8, 2008 @ 5:16 PM I see it this way. Music is tough a business and lifestyle. If you want to taken seriously, and have quality musicians invest the time and effort to help you achieve a quality product. You had better make the effort to show you have your shit together. Bravado doesn't mean shit if your grammar skills doesn't back it up. If you can’t take the time to do a professional proposal, expect rejection.
zedsalt	Date: May 9, 2008 @ 3:46 AM Does Dis' mean B&D/S&M gear or bulls**t DMusic gear? Does Hilbert really think that "skills doesn't" is good grammar? These questions and more to be answered in our next episode!
TameasDust	Date: May 9, 2008 @ 4:00 AM I need a room painted ... does that count
GeneHilbert	Date: May 9, 2008 @ 5:07 AM Firstly - I'm not posting an advertisement. Secondly - Try context Thirdly - Blow Me
BOWILLIE	Date: May 9, 2008 @ 5:57 AM ..arrrr blow me down
zedsalt	Date: May 10, 2008 @ 3:16 AM Say write English barely to be say "use English goodly You!" still funny.
ViciousKitty	Date: May 10, 2008 @ 3:35 AM Wow you guys are quite set of guns...I think you've scared the BMI lyricist away(LOL)...
