hey there everybody

Post by MisterQuoons »

Wow. This site is pretty much the best idea anyone has ever had. Wish I'd found it sooner.

Anyway, I have been recording ridiculous music under the pseudonym Styop Quoons on and off since my junior year of high school, and I figure that this site will be a fantastic way to have it heard by people who are not me.

One thing that I would like to clarify is that I am not in any way a professional musician. I'm currently taking guitar lessons at pretty much a beginner level, and I played the clarinet in high school; aside from that I've had no formal training. However, I like to think that I am picking things up as I go along. In any event, I am mostly just doing this for my own amusement, and if other people like my songs, then hey, wonderful.

Also, I have my own record label. Actually, it is not a record label so much as it is a personal website where I post my own songs, and those of my friends. However, I call it a record label, and that is the important part. I am temporarily hosting it on my school's server, and they give you shit for space, so there isn't a whole lot up there right now. Plus it's a little poorly organized. However, as soon as I find a more appropriate home for it, I will put more up there. If anyone is so inclined, the address is:

Anyway, I have entered a song in this week's fight, and assuming I am not completely decimated by negative criticism, I plan to enter again. Hope to see you all around.

I say this before listening, so I may kick myself, but that would be exactly the reason why you SHOULD enter again. I mean if it was nothing but praise, why bother?

Yeah, negative criticism is rough. But it makes me try to prove myself even more. But it can hurt to have someone tell you that you suck after you just put your heart and soul on the line.
BUT, the nice thing about 1 week fights, you can blame it on the short amount of time that you had. Wooo Hoooo! :P
