whats your dmusic pet peeve?

BOWILLIE	Date: February 29, 2008 @ 9:55 AM mine..is when i take the time from my busy schedual to comment on a track.. then they get several others and go aknowledge thier efforts on commenting and completely ignore the fact that i did. that burns my ass actually. typing and instilling a thought on some ones music is hard work. show some respect. dont take my efforts for granted..word. any one else?
ShadowMom	Date: February 29, 2008 @ 10:22 AM I have no "pet" peeve. I like them all. You can't let that bother you, either. Sometimes it's just a simple oversight. Sometimes it's bad manners or ignorance of IE-- internet etiquette. But don't waste time letting it get under your skin, either.
zedsalt	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 3:25 AM I just went through eleven pages of Bo's shoutbox to make sure I'd thanked him for a comment...now, for the life of me, I can't recall thanking ShadowMom for her kind words on the same collab... Just in case, thank you, SM, I always appreciate your support, even when I "space out" acknowledging it.
JennyK	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 3:48 AM I like to think that if a person likes a song enough to comment, they do it not out of a need for aknowledgement. I sometimes feel that this game of "You comment on my song and I'll comment on your song and then we'll exchange niceties for a while" can be a little bit too transparent at times. Perhaps I think that way only because I suck at aknowledging people that comment. Perhaps. maybe I'm simply not a very nice person. I try though but I fail more often than not and I am well aware of it. Insert HUGE soapbox icon here. Anyways. pet peeve... Well, what bothers me at times is the lack of honesty when commenting. I do it myself and I know it. If you have nothing good to say just say nothing at all is an easy way out and I go that route more often than I should. It is hard though to read through comments on a song and everybody goes all out there with love and thumbsup and I am the one sitting there wondering if I should fart in the bubble or not. More often than not I say nothing. I wish I wasn't like that so I guess my own pet peeve is me.

BOWILLIE	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 5:28 AM valid jk.. but being i have no tunes to get comments on.....that point is mute in my case.and all cases are different. i dont comment for attention..i comment because i like that person well enough to give one out of respect for the music. its happened several times..not mad when i posted this and not now..just saying it causes a change in my approach to commenting when that happens..thank every one els..ignore mine..and i wont comment again..thier loss in my opinion..my peeve not a personal thing..just common lack of good manners..or indifference in some cases. and again..i stress this doesnt happen too often..but it has the last few years here..and it is a peeve..lol. alls good.
GTOriginal	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 6:14 AM I like to comment about the positive stuff in the comments. It's a public forum, sorta like the first page in a book where critics agree it's a page turner, so I feel uncomfortable putting negative stuff there. However, this doesn't mean I'm being false. I mean every word I type, and if there ain't nothing nice to say I won't say it. If I encounter something ugly, an error in the mix or whatever - I DNote the person. When people comment my stuff I thank 'em, not because of etiquette but because I genuinely appreciate the fact that theyhecked out my stuff from all the other stuff out there.
GTOriginal	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 6:15 AM My own pet peeve is people who make up words like theyhecked.
leedsquietman	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 7:25 AM The lack of updates and communication from the top brass. Even now, I don't know for sure if business is anywhere near being 'normal'. I uploaded a couple of songs successfully which led to error comments and duplicate posts by those who took time to comment and such. We have the google ad trojan irritating some users and not much update on what we are doing there either.
GeneHilbert	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 9:47 AM Lack of punctual communications and factual information. But I won't mention a name......
ShadowMom	Date: March 1, 2008 @ 12:45 PM Jenny, I couldn't agree with you more about the crit for crit philosophy... I think it begs for insincerity. What Bowillie is talking about is common courtesy, but sometimes things just get overlooked. My point, ZED was not to take it too personally. We all mistakes, but if it happens over and over-- well, there are people I won't bother any more with MY comments. It doesn't mean I don't listen, or don't enjoy their music; it just means I expect common courtesy-- and a thank you costs so little, don't you think? And btw... Zed if you went through his shoutbox, you really need a shower.
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 1:53 AM I appreciate every comment I've had, get and will get If I don't return the compliment, don't be offended - Downloading, streaming and listening to music doesn't come easy to me anymore since my net connection and hearing are both up the shitter... So getting anything done is unpredictable and seldom occurring, usually when I do I spend what little time I get mixing or writing an idea. So to anyone who's ever commented and I've not returned the favour. A BIG THANK YOU. And that's probably quite a few. Those comments have been one of the biggest reasons for carrying on despite my hearing. I just haven't the mental and physical capacity to remember and reply to everything anymore...
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 1:54 AM And my peeve is Bo's artwork... Putting it mildly. It's bloody awful and we should have a fund to send him to Art School...
zedsalt	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 3:33 AM RIGHT FKIN' ON**, lqm and Hilbert! ShadowMom, wading through that shoutbox did make me feel a little dirty, but thankfully, I kinda like feelin' that way every now and then. And Art School RAWKS! I wish I could come up with a good excuse for going back.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 3:59 AM hey.. lets see..recap.. dirty shoutbox art=bloody awful.. need after shower.. feels a little dirty.. jeeeeeesus ok allready (gets out the lysol and water hose* scrub scrub..

JennyK	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 4:23 AM bad artwork? Is this one of those times when being blind isn't such a bad thing?
Tattoomom	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 5:19 AM I dunno...I thought Bo's avatar he made me was pretty cool...of course he didn't actually DRAW me and I AM super hott...
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 7:46 AM ok, who left cheese on my putty knife?
TheDarkness	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 7:50 AM That's not And I have a suspicion that that's not putty

ShadowMom	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 12:00 PM Just what we want to see, a bigger version of Moam's head.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 2, 2008 @ 1:39 PM hmm..thats strange.. buzz gets the head chopped...and mom thinks it moam classic.
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 3, 2008 @ 12:57 AM the more i criticise, the worse the artwork gets.
