A suggestion.

dsch	Date: August 31, 2002 @ 10:57 AM mp3.com, there is one feature of that site that I think would be useful to employ here. When you upload a song there, there is a section in which you can explain the meaning, inspiration, and/or circumstances behind the song. To me, knowing what the artist was thinking about when he/she came up with something only enhances the work. What do you think?" id="17151">Though I know we're all very much against mp3.com, there is one feature of that site that I think would be useful to employ here.

milladrive	Date: August 31, 2002 @ 12:15 PM I like it, and think it could be part of the lyrics/credits/et al page that each artist should have.
Cryxan	Date: August 31, 2002 @ 1:39 PM I'd be very interested in reading whatever the artist has to say about the creative process.
dsch	Date: August 31, 2002 @ 6:19 PM Whoa. Is there actually a lyrics/credits page that I don't know about? Or is this another idea that will soon come to be? Whatever the case, I like it.
GrooveTonic	Date: August 31, 2002 @ 11:38 PM I agree too (if that means anything to anyone hehe)!
BabyZ	Date: September 1, 2002 @ 5:42 AM credits would be nice!!!!!!!!
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 1, 2002 @ 3:32 PM That would be a cool idea, rather than having to post details via a song comment
dsch	Date: September 1, 2002 @ 5:17 PM Indeed. I've seen people use song comments as a place to describe their songs, and to me that seems a bit weird. Comments should not be from artist to listener, but vice versa. I'd feel weird posting a comment to my own song, even if it was a description.
milladrive	Date: September 1, 2002 @ 9:53 PM I agree, dsch. What I meant was that I think each artist _should_ have a section for that (or a page for each track). Right now, I link my lyrics from my bio to a page in a journal, but having a more direct accessbility would be much better.
dsch	Date: September 1, 2002 @ 10:13 PM Do you, as an admin, have the capability of setting up such pages?
BabyZ	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 12:00 AM i think adding credits would be an awesome idea.
milladrive	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 12:21 AM I'm not really a coder, so even if I could, right now I couldn't.
dsch	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 1:18 AM Who does have the capability/authority to enact such a thing?
BabyZ	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 1:24 AM maybe thumbtack???????
milladrive	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 10:03 AM The current group of active admins are all more writer than coder. Writers work much cheaper.
dsch	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 11:33 AM Heh. Still, coding such a page couldn't be all that hard. It would basically be a simple form that posted to another page... goes to look at HTML tutorials
utopiauk	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 2:05 PM I agree dsch, it is a good idea. It would be nice to be able to add a description, credits etc.
creativetim	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 8:39 PM I hope you don't mind dsch, but I pronounce your name dooche.
dsch	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 10:29 PM D.Sch., as in Dmitri Schostakovich, who is my favorite composer. When I joined dmusic, though, I didn't realize that names were actually case sensitive..." id="17273">sighs You mentioned that before. It's actually D.Sch., as in Dmitri Schostakovich, who is my favorite composer. When I joined dmusic, though, I didn't realize that names were actually case sensitive...
creativetim	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 10:33 PM Oh, well I didn't mean to come off as an ass. But I'll just start saying Dmitri.
dsch	Date: September 2, 2002 @ 10:37 PM But yes, Dmitri is fine. In fact, it amuses and pleases me very much. That's the closest I'll ever get to being anything like Shostakovich was--I'm certainly not going to approach him musically. " id="17275">hehs You don't come off as an ass. After all, my username is an extremely obscure reference. (For the record, most people pronounce it as "dish.") But yes, Dmitri is fine. In fact, it amuses and pleases me very much. That's the closest I'll ever get to being anything like Shostakovich was--I'm certainly not going to approach him musically.
Cryxan	Date: September 3, 2002 @ 6:28 PM Every time I read it, I spell out the letters in my head. That's an unusual thing to do, but in this case, they flow together well and can be "said" very fast.
dsch	Date: September 3, 2002 @ 6:34 PM That is the way that I say it. D-S-C-H.
mtbatol	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 12:02 AM Oh, and here I was thinking it was one of those russian words that don't use a vowel and in order to pronounce the word correctly you gotta make a funny sound like DSSSSSSSEEEAHAAK!!!!!! Now I know
dsch	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 12:57 AM Actually, Russian words tend to have vowels. It's Czech that lacks them. And Welsh.
creativetim	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 1:48 AM Yeah those DAMN Czech!!! Just kidding Cryxan!
Svensta	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 8:45 AM Dee Ess Cee Aitch. For the hihp-hoppers among us
dsch	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 10:22 AM gets a terribly amusing mental picture of Shostakovich attempting to do hip hop Really wouldn't work. Heh.
thumbtack	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 4:41 PM Mp3.com actually did a lot of things right before Universal got their grubby little hands on it. " id="17386">That's not a bad idea.... Mp3.com actually did a lot of things right before Universal got their grubby little hands on it.
Cryxan	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 4:59 PM That's fine, Tim, I'm not Czech, I'm Slovak. I'm FROM Czechoslovakia, but that country no longer exists, though it did at the time I left it. However, both the Czech and Slovak languages have their share of consonant-rich words.
dsch	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 5:07 PM I have some very good friends who are Slovak. They speak the language to each other sometimes, and it's similar enough to Russian that I can get a decent idea of what they're saying. I guess if you want severe lack of vowels, look at the former Soviet -stan countries. (ie. Kyrgyzstan).
creativetim	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 5:23 PM damn!
Cryxan	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 5:35 PM I have a bit of a hard time understanding Russian, but I can pick up some words here and there. Doesn't stop me from enjoying the music, though. And all those words with few vowels are surprisingly easy to pronounce.
milladrive	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 7:11 PM btw, I too have always pronounced each letter indvidually. :)" id="17413">...and Tim, it's "douche" btw, I too have always pronounced each letter indvidually.
NeoFlash	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 9:12 PM They'd just start saying "Oh, i dedicate this song to my mom, my dog, my agent, my dildo, etc"
mtbatol	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 9:17 PM Hmmmmm... out of curiosity how do you say "Hooked On Phonics" in Russian and Slovak languages??
draugluin	Date: September 4, 2002 @ 9:22 PM weeeeeeee someone said DOUCHE!!!!! and NeoFlash uses abuses and over doses the dildo machine!
