TameasDust	Date: February 4, 2004 @ 10:05 AM I haveta ... its in my head
tonibecker	Date: February 5, 2004 @ 12:36 PM I love listening to my CD. All the production was done by my husband so it is still (even after six months) fun to drive down the road and listen to the music...my music. Mary's Gone To Heaven Rainbow
OneUnderAttack	Date: February 7, 2004 @ 4:28 AM We try not to listen a lot, unless were high. But we do tend to listen, we still would rather listen to funk, jazz, hip hop, Metal, and rock. http://oneunderattack.dmusic.com/
ConcreteVisionz	Date: February 7, 2004 @ 9:06 AM EVERY MUSICIAN should listen to his/her own music....I run a studio and i listen to everything over and over and over again......after i listen to it over and over in tha studio....i make a cd and i listen to it in tha system,yup u guessed it....over and over and over.....for a lot of reasons: 1t's hott 2:To find mistakes i didn't hear b4...sometimes you are so happy that tha song is done, you dont realize something is off pitch or off beat or a word is fumbled or slurred 3:To make sure it sounds good on a walkman,home cd player,studio,system in a car...EVERYWHERE...cuz if its being sold all over tha world, it needs to sound perfect... EVERYWHERE 4:To see if its a song that gets old after hearing it just a couple of times so yes every musician should listen to there song on a regular basis, like a song on a radio...just uploaded a hot new r&b singer to my site check it out @ concrete_visionz.dmusic.com
donationswel...	Date: February 13, 2004 @ 6:39 PM you should if you like it because if you dont like it, who will?
Gmonk	Date: February 14, 2004 @ 4:47 PM er.. yeah... G
MonnieB	Date: March 10, 2004 @ 6:41 PM Yes, quite a bit... But not because I'm ego centered.. Just making sure I don't need to add or change or remove components...
Etheracide	Date: March 11, 2004 @ 7:00 AM It's weird...I will go a while without listening to any of our songs because perhaps I either have too many new albums to listen to or not enough time...usually a combination of both...and it just slips my mind. But then if I happen to throw a song or two of ours into a random playlist when i have spare time at the computer, it automatically reminds me of how much I love our stuff and then I suddenly realize my suddenly not-so-random playlist contains 30 Etheracide songs haha
Intergalacti...	Date: March 14, 2004 @ 4:11 PM Yeah usually just to remind myself of how to play it all
Vickxxx	Date: March 20, 2004 @ 1:20 AM always listen to my own stuff just to see if it's still real or what can be done better or how it sits with other music on a random playlist..........a must for all..
SoulBeats	Date: March 20, 2004 @ 5:25 AM Hell yes I listen to my own music since one of the reasons I make music is me. I want to make music that is like me, that suits me, what I can listen without getting bored.
dclochri	Date: March 21, 2004 @ 2:01 AM Hell Yeah, I do! Especially since I don't exactly sound like everything and everyone else. But then it's all about mood, and most of what I write fits my mood perfectly. Besides, I still laugh at every mistake, and there's something to that, too. - the bootleg dan lochrie
Arahilion	Date: March 21, 2004 @ 6:52 AM Ooh yeah. I do listen to my music! Because I like it! And for a "dontknowreason" it's never getting old. Every1 should like the music he does because otherwise he didnt put his soul into it and if some1 don't like his own music, how the hell others should do?
robbydadrummer	Date: March 21, 2004 @ 3:17 PM I always listen just after I upload a track to make sure the upload works. Every once in a while, I will check it again.
observe	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 6:15 AM depression is the obsession for attention from yourself.
ryanwilliams	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 4:12 PM Periodically, yeah. I have an intense love/hate relationship with my songs, so sometimes I'll listen to confirm my hatred for them, and at other times I'll listen and get excited because I love them at that moment. One thing I definitely hate, though, is listening to my songs with friends or when other people are around, because then I automatically start nitpicking.
Arahilion	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 3:10 PM Hm yes, you are richt williams, acually i sometimes just hate my music, but after a while i like it again. it isnt stabil
fighterpilot	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 3:36 PM nope. theres MUCH better things out there to be in my head than my own shit lol
smooka	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 3:40 PM with half an ear or when I play live
sqrlcub	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 5:08 PM Lately I have been listening to too much of my own music but that is because I have been going back and forth between the studio, fixing tracks, and making sure that everything piles atop itself properly. When I finally finish the recording project, I will be spending even more time finishing up the flash "toons" of some of the songs.
onewhodreams	Date: November 23, 2004 @ 11:07 PM I noticed something different today when I played a new song of mine for some friends. It was kinda like I was listening to someone else for the first time as they were It's really hard for me to listen "outside the box" like that without thinking too much. Much better experience than listening by myself and critiqing every single note though
wereDean	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 10:39 AM i have to because i edited it.. such a grueling process =/
chazcountry	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 11:10 AM I love my music so yes I listen to it. I have also became my worst critic. I am always working on my next project, or trying to improve my stage show, so if I notice a bland point in a song, I try to figure a way to "EXCITE" it by body language, or emotion on stage. It's actually fun, you learn about yourself too as an artist!
ICF	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 11:10 AM Not to my older stuff much 'cause it makes me cringe!
sween	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 11:48 AM I listen to all my new stuff loads, I am my favourite band at the moment
Jesuszilla	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 3:04 PM Nope, don't even listen to it when I make it, turn the sound off, however it just so happens that all my songs are in tune and all that, not that I would know of course.
moam	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 4:39 PM always Kinda scary but sometimes I'm my favorite artist
AdamsGod	Date: December 1, 2004 @ 11:12 AM i love my music.. if i didnt like it so much, i wouldnt bother trying to post it everywhere and show "the world" what i have
Rodrica	Date: December 1, 2004 @ 11:33 AM I rarely listen to it unless I'm specifically working on a certain song. Once I've written a song, performed it, produced it, engineered and mixed it, I'm usually thoroughly sick of it!...it's like any song that you hear too many times I find it's best to keep a distance from it after that, otherwise I get too familiar with the song and dont hear it as an audience would...and being too close means I may not hear where I can improve things or I may get too insular about it all. The only thing I cant prevent is the damned things getting stuck inside my head!
SilverShining	Date: December 4, 2004 @ 6:26 PM I too have my own tunes stuck in my head. So even after playing, mixing, remixing, editing, and finally releasing them, they're still there floating around inside of me. But outside of the creation process, do I listen to my own stuff? Occasionally. I'm usually too close to it and way too critical of my own stuff to enjoy it. It's hard to step out of yourself and enjoy the music as a finished product, but I do do that sometimes.
Konstintine	Date: December 4, 2004 @ 8:01 PM it is a cerial crisis!!!!i have been eating cerial for about 4 years now,and im better at it then most of my friends.Now a days its hard to find good spots to eat at cause we usually get kicked out by cops or security guards.Sometimes we get off with a warning but most times they take our bowls,now its even illegal to eat cerial on the side walk.i wonder if people will ever see it as an art form and not a crime.Most cerial eaters are disrespected by the elderly and even our parents,we are called names such as punks and losers.That concludes how i look at it,Eat or Die.
bluesteel	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 9:51 PM I composed some songs and i think theyre really terrorific Blue Steel email: xbluesteel@hotmail.com
povertystricken	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 10:08 PM terror-ific
blacklieder	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 11:00 PM listen " id="121895">Yes, and so should you. listen
invisible123	Date: January 3, 2005 @ 6:16 PM It is all I listen to.I guess I am just one of a kind.I dont listen to the radio I just listen to my own music that way I can make changes If needed.My mind is allways turning ,last count 30 sence 2001 songs and I am working on 2 more.I fill that if I get caught up in listening to covers I will get lost in my own ,but like I said I guess I am one of a kind.
sinai	Date: January 3, 2005 @ 6:32 PM yeah, sometimes, on nights of a full moon, i coat myseolf in vasiline and kool aid, and lie outside naked on the grass, whistling a Mizxoncevd tune and masturbating
mudshadow	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 9:40 PM I think it's already been said, but yeah, I do...I'm constantly scrutinizing my tunes to try and figure out how to improve my performance and production...how else am I going to get better at it...also, almost the only music I really listen to(besides my own) anymore is by Dmusic artists...there are so many talented, inspired artists here, and I don't always have a lot of time, but I try to keep up.
