I don't see the point in this...

beginagain	Date: November 7, 2005 @ 2:32 PM ...but I should probably give it a shot. If you've gotten this far and actually opened this topic, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a listen to my tracks over at http://beginagainmusic.dmusic.com/ Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Vinny http://beginagainmusic.dmusic.com/
GeneHilbert	Date: November 7, 2005 @ 3:37 PM I don't see the point in this... ... when I read this - I'm thinking they are probably right..... Defeatism or self derision is hardly a motivator or useful in sales…… Now this site has it abundance of self promoting blowhards – but if you are going to promote your art, do it truthfully and positively. Don’t ridicule yourself……… leave that to us…… LOL
zedsalt	Date: November 8, 2005 @ 11:24 AM It may well be that Vinny isn't being self-effacing; it may be that he doubts many people cruise this forum looking for material to listen to. I check it daily; my personal "check this out list is dozens of artists/tracks long.
kingo	Date: November 8, 2005 @ 11:32 AM For the record, I disagree with Gene on this one. I almost never listen to artists who say things along the lines of "this music is phenomenal. Listen to it! You won't be sorry!" I'd much rather listen to someone who doesn't sound like an overblown TV commercial when talking about their own stuff.
Alstroph	Date: November 8, 2005 @ 11:41 AM When people post a request for people to listen to their music, I tend to do so. Usually I find myself without ability to critisize those who say "please listen to my music". People who say "I suck" or "I'm great" I get annoyed with. I like overblown TV commercials...that's why I have so many cars... ~M

kingo	Date: November 8, 2005 @ 11:47 AM I'm great at sucking... Erm. That ain't right.
zedsalt	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:16 AM I've said it before, but at the risk of being repetitively redundant: I'd appreciate it if folks would try to give some idea as to what they sound like in their promos. I know it isn't easy, and I accept the fact that their notions of what they sound like and mine will often be worlds apart, but any effort toward that end would be mucho appreciatado.

( see thread below this one)
DeadraveN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 12:47 PM agreed with zed. i think I'd listen to more of the self-promoted stuff if I knew what I was getting into... surprises are nice, but what if for example, someone stumbled across Dhoomspic's Mickey m ouse cover like that? they'd never forgive dmusic.. (sorry dhoomsy..oking: )
Intergalacti...	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:38 PM listen to what gene says i always get told off for puttin myself down
beginagain	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:35 PM Well, in response to Gene, I wasn't putting myself or my music down. I didn't expect anyone to actually read this thread! I guess I was wrong on that one. I'd describe my music, but I'm not really sure what artists I sound like. I do listen to a lot of Elliott Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead... there's a potentially endless list there. Anyway, thanks for all the comments/advice. It hasn't fallen on deaf ears. Vinny.
