Alright, so I couldn't let a golden opportunity slip through my hands. ^^; So I submitted an entry to the 7heads contest held by Acidplanet.com. Could you guys please spare me 10 minutes to peep my remix, then leave your rating and review of the track?

This time around I basically had nothing to remix with apart from the acapella. I've never even heard of the original so it was a pretty interesting venture into creativity. I tried to go for a more funky sound and opted to give it a "live" feel to it with the use of various instruments. The result is what I consider a rather non-mainstream track. In other words, if you go in expecting a typical hip hop track you're in for a surprise. :) So here's the instruction.

1. If you don't already have an account on Acidplanet, go to http://www.acidplanet.com/myplanet/register.asp to register ( I know it's a drag, but bear with me )
2. Go to http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=335148 for my remix. It's titled "Bosoms [ bLiNdEd aNd FuNkTiFiEd MiX ]" You can click on the "DOWNLOAD" link to download the high quality mp3
3. when you're done, click on "RATE / REVIEW" to leave your rating and review. I'm not asking you to play nice, if you can tell me what you're not feeling, that'd actually be awesome.

Thanks a lot!!

Never be afraid to be original! Just outdo yourself day by day and enjoy doing it, that's all that matters.

Met with Jim and Steve for dinner to play catch-up and to just have some good convo. One of the topic was my frusturation with not wanting to play the role of the "motivator" anymore. I've played that role for long enough, I think. Maybe I'm just not around people whom I have good chemistry with, or maybe I'm just sick and tired of it... I probably just need to take a break from that role and come back to it at a later date... At any rate, the bottom line is that I really don't feel like playing that role at the moment. The problem is that I'm sort of forced to play that role when I'm working with other people who are seemingly less motivated and responsible. But I'm I'm kind of in self-denial at the moment. I know I need to play the role, but I really don't want to. So I'm all angsty and frustrated... *SIGH* It's quite possible that I actually don't exactly know why I'm in denial, but the truth is that I am, so things aren't as smooth as I'd want them to be. I just wish people I interact with were ALL responsible and self-motivated. *whine* *gripe* *pout* Treat me gently, please.... :P

I was just thinking about where and when I get inspirations to write music, and this is what I was able to come up with. See if you can sympathize.

When I'm "down and out" and perhaps unsure of things, I don't enjoy listening to music. In my life, the act of listening to music usually means I'd like to heighten the experience. If I'm listening to music while driving a car I want to heighten the experience that is driving. If I'm listening to music while vacuuming the floor I want to heighten the experience that is vacuuming the floor. You can basically think of it like being a character in a movie. (Maybe I'm just a big wannabe who wants to feel like a movie star, but that's beside the point) A scene may have a sound track associated with it and that sound track is there to heighten the effect of the scene. That's basically what music listening does to me. (Yes, when I'm listening to the lyrics, I do search for the author's intent, but most of the time I only listen to the lyrics when somebody tells me to or it's by a group famous for their lyrcs.) That means that if I were to listen to music when I'm down out it will only heighten the experience of being down and out. So what I do when I'm down and out is, surprise surprise, create music. :) I think, to me, the act of creating music is to try to come to grips with emotion and to fully digest it so that my soul can grow just that much more. Music then becomes simply a reflection of my life and my emotions. It's actually very much like writing a diary, really. Does anyone else feel this way?
