ShadowMom	Date: September 12, 2007 @ 10:31 PM Much better! Do you need info on DMusic specifically, or indie music in general?

Woof	Date: September 12, 2007 @ 11:41 PM The members' personal thoughts and feelings will probably go a long way towards making your speech really personal and interesting to your listeners... In the meantime, though, this ought to give you plenty of the background info to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmusic And hey... great subject! Thanks for selecting DM for your topic!
pullmytrigger	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 12:35 AM :0 yup. woof. you should answer those questions for me. id love to hear you feeling towards dmusic.
dsindel	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 1:30 AM Levi, your idea is cool... tell you what, about 2 months ago Mary did a DM interview with me... http://news.dmusic.com/article/24700 feel free to use any of the article if you like
Tattoomom	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 8:44 AM You could also note me or Bill with individual questions which we would be happy to answer.
Distilled1	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 4:46 PM I sure would answer any as well just ask
pullmytrigger	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 7:21 PM yeah. i would just like any info you can give. be creative.
PrincessTast...	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 7:25 PM Yay! Dmusic rules!
Distilled1	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 7:48 PM I was on the dying "old" mp3.com and George Ziemann (www.az-oz.com) started a forum about it and I came with the first exodus from there (Wink) and so glad I did. (how I found Dmusic) I the people here the communities even the flame wars and issues I also love that I can hear music from around the globe of all genres and enjoy REAL music not what the recording/publishing mainstream tell me I should listen to. (what I like) I love as well that 90% of the artist here at dmusic are willing to share there music free and allow me to play them on web radio streams and podcast to help promote them and the indi music world.
aflunky	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 8:11 PM Here's your Speech: Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to talk about a wonderful place full of Shadowmoms, Woofs, and a Flunky. It's called DMusic! It's a website with it's OWN wiki page! it's got funny music, serious music, good music, even bad music!! It also had a sham they now it's a hatu or something... the best part is is that it has a Flunky. So if you wanna have manipulated pictures of yourself all over the forums, come to www.dmusic.com
Woof	Date: September 13, 2007 @ 10:14 PM Thanks, aflunky! Personally, I don't know why anybody would want to associate with low life, white trash trailer park tornado bait like me, but I guess that's why I hang around. There's noplace else, will take me in. I guess the point is, DM will always be a cool place to hang out, because it's such an eclectic collection of individuals. There are people who play with classic skill and precision, people who simply experiment with ideas to see what will happen, and people who don't make a lot of music, but are pretty interesting. All ages, too... it's not too crusty for the kids, and not too juvenile for the old folks. It's a real melting pot. Of course there's the music, but there's also a healthy dose of insight into what makes each of the members tick... thanks to the journals, the shoutboxes, and of course, the forums. There's as much about who's behind the songs, as it is about the songs. Musicians and musical artists are an unusual bunch. It seems that different things interest them, than the usual chit chat that you can find at other social sites around the web. We're kinda weird. And that, of course, is our charm.
pullmytrigger	Date: September 14, 2007 @ 12:23 AM thanks guys. your input is helping me out big time! oh and aflunky.. the speech is 6-8 minutes.... you see.. although it would be easy to stand there and talk about you for that time my topic is still "Dmusic.com" not "Aflunky and DMUSIC"! i thank all of your for your help. please keep on with it all. dont forget to email me as well.. i can access that at school. thanks
aflunky	Date: September 14, 2007 @ 12:06 PM Twittles Mustache Drat, another promotional attempt failed
ShadowMom	Date: September 15, 2007 @ 10:40 AM Full of Shadowmoms? Only one, although it must seem sometimes like we are legion... And Levi, you know I migrated here from Boycott-RIAA, actually as a direct result of the links back here, to people like Victors Skull -- remember him? -- George Azoz, Electric Gypsy, Tom Barger, and others. And I stayed, although at first I didn't interact very much. What do I love about DMusic? Two things immediately come to mind. First, the music. Yes, there's a lot of chaff to sort through to find the wheat, but when you do find it, it's worth it. Second, the community-- the people here are genuine. We don't agree on everything, but we are all here for the same reason-- the music, and keeping it free. Now go into that classroom and knock 'em dead!
FraDonaghy	Date: September 16, 2007 @ 10:20 AM Rock on Levi Good luck mate.
zedsalt	Date: September 16, 2007 @ 10:25 AM Be sure to check your local laws and statutes, Flunk. Many places still have archaic anti-moustache-twittling laws on the books, and you never know when some overzealous cop is going to pull something like that out! Hmm, "I am Legion"...seems like I've read that one somewhere else, like towards the back of some thick book or something...ah well, it'll come to me... Y'know, it's odd, but looking back over several years of listening to music posted here, there's no question that...to my tastes...there was actually a much lower percentage of "chaff" here back when there was a LOT MORE music being posted. I know, that's the opposite of the way things usually work, but I used to gush all the time about what a remarkable percentage of the material here was remarkably good, and lately...just judging by the new music...there are other, much larger, sites with a noticeably higher percentage of great stuff.
pullmytrigger	Date: September 18, 2007 @ 7:19 PM hey guys. thanks so much. i got a 115% on my speech. the teacher loved it and everyone was quite interested. i used what you said about boycott mom. as well as why you love it here. i do have to say, the speech was a success. i promoted dmusic very well.
Woof	Date: September 18, 2007 @ 9:57 PM Congratulations on a job well done! Of course, you know we're dying for you to publish the speech here, so we can see what you said to get such high marks!
ShadowMom	Date: September 18, 2007 @ 10:02 PM You make me so proud!
pullmytrigger	Date: September 27, 2007 @ 12:20 AM lol thanks woof i accually used notecards.... lol i did it off head. it was cool... im about to post a new thread. im doing another on dmusic. its a persuasive speech.. Dmusic or myspace?. im typing it out... cause it has to be longer.. its due tuesday.
officernarc	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 1:19 AM next time, you should do your homework yourself though.
8111	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 11:13 AM oops...somebody done flagged th' wiki-post!
officernarc	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 4:11 PM that's not surprising wikipedia is full of nazis.
officernarc	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 4:11 PM that's not surprising CONSIDERING wikipedia is full of nazis.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 5:45 PM narc, he only asked for feedback, i'm sure the majority of it was based on his own opinions anyway...
officernarc	Date: September 30, 2007 @ 12:40 AM it was a joke.
Cryxan	Date: September 30, 2007 @ 3:11 AM Aaaah I remember speech class. It was a blast! I did my persuasive speech on why people should go for a drive in our beautiful Laguna Mountains. I think the best thing about it was seeing the different interests that people have. When you look at a group of students that you sit with 3 times a week in class, you can't tell much by the looks of them, even after a semester. But in Speech I found out about who's a great chef, who plays in a band, whose mom lost an arm due to neglignece, who's into raves... It was actually pretty eye-opening and I believe that I look at crowds differently since that class. Congrats on the high marks on your speech!
