Yeesh, I never meant for that to blow up in anybody's face...
Sorry for posting that Crazy4Coasters, but you just have to understand, had I not seen you say something about how you type in Capslock at work there was no way for me to know that.
AND FAST!!! YOU GOT THAT SFMM!!!The exclamation points didn't help either.
Don't get all upset. This thread is for fun!
Don't be offended, no harm was intended.

^ I don't consider that dumb. It could have been an accident.
-Tatum
If it were an accident the first letter of each sentence would've been lower case had he been pressing shift, either way it was a silly post.

THAT DROP ACTUALLY DOES LOOK PRETTY SWEET... WE NEED A GOOD WOODY HERE IN SO. CAL AND FAST!!! YOU GOT THAT SFMM!!!
Hey man! Yeah, you! Your caps lock button is stuck!

The Veronicas- I can't Stay Away.
AMAZING SONG.

My twin, who is also 19 surprisingly, has never kissed a girl. I'm 19 and I've never been in a serious relationship. Does it bother me? Not really. I want to wait for that right person. It's frustrating not knowing when I will meet her, but I'm more than happy to wait for the 'one'. Nothing would suck more than to settle for less.
AWEH! You'll find her. Don't worry, there's always someone out there and I'm sure you guys will find someone perfect for you. It sucks to never know what's coming but it just makes the experience when it does all that more worthwile!
Not as if it's happened to me, though. I've never had my first kiss -.x
LAWL, but it's cool. You'll find someone.
-
I'm 15 and I haven't had my first kiss! I'm gay, mind you, but...
NO, I'M NOT PATHETIC. SHUT UP.

I had that happen to me while uploading my avatar. :o

You're quite good, I don't think Elton John suits your vocal style well though. Try something like No Air from Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown.
Your vibrato is very thick, it'd sound better if you lessened your fluctuation in your vibrato, you also do sound like you're stressing to hit the higher notes- there's an easy fix for it. Don't try to impress! Sing what you can- because it's when you try to achieve something that you can reach but you have trouble doing so it can make you look bad when you're actually very good.
Rather than trying to impress with a big song- impress with doing what you can very well.

Since I reset my play counts for the new year and I have 6200 songs, which grows daily,my most played has ten plays, but anyways....
10. Breakdown- Mariah Carey
09. Christmas Tree- Lady Gaga
08. At Last- Celine Dion
07. Earth Intruders- Bjork
06. Christmas Wrappings- The Waitresses
05. Confessions of a Broken Heart- Lindsay Lohan
04. Single Ladies- Beyonce
03. I Hate This Part- The Pussycat Dolls
02. Poker Face- Lady Gaga
01. My Life Would Suck Without You- Kelly Clarkson
Yeah, so what, I like pop music........ it happens.
Best list so far aside from mine.
-
I just put this together in like five minutes. That's all it takes when you have only 200 songs.
&
Damn, and this was supposed to be 10. I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH. I feel like Lady GaGa or Britney or The Veronicas would like.. care if they weren't on here.*sigh*
I'm pretty sure he means to go look at your 'Top [insert number] Most Played' playlist that is automatically installed on your iTunes and list the 10 highest ranked songs, as opposed to just listing the ten songs on your iPod that you feel are the best.
Anyway, here's mine:
1. Quietdrive- "Both Ways"
2. Fall Out Boy- "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth"
3. Lifehouse- "Whatever It Takes"
4. Angels & Airvwaves- "Everything's Magic"
5. Louque- "Kenny The Jet"
6. Tim Hughes- "Happy Day"
7. Bloodhound Gang- "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo"
8. Nickel Creek- "Out of the Woods"
9. Sister Hazel- "Change Your Mind (Live)"
10. Lucky Boys Confusion- "Ordinary"
I have a zillion songs that are rated 5 stars in iTunes, so that doesn't work, and my most played list is VERY inaccurate because I had a hard drive crash and most of my songs have like.. 3 plays.

I gray out all the time in Mindbender's 2nd loop and it's final helices. Almost every time I ride I gray out twice, but 5.5-6 Gs does that.

Guess I'll go with the "Don't ask don't tell" way then.
No! Don't hide who you are to satisfy others! Be yourself- if they can't accept you for the person that you are then why would you want to be around them? I'm gay, personally and if my friends didn't accept me for the way I am then I wouldn't be friends with them. Don't ask, don't tell should be called "Hide your feelings and who you are so society doesn't have to feel upset. "
If they get upset, let them be upset because you know you're the bigger person! Be free

I love Katun's! They're beautiful!

I don't 'bike' but I'm happy to see that TPR isn't full of idiots like my mom's boyfriend who act like you're 'yuppy and stupid' if you drive a honda and the only thing you can ride EVAR KNOWN TO MAN is a Harley if you wan to be a 'cool' biker.
You also have to weigh 500 pounds, be a womanizer, have a beard that is disgustingly un-groomed and long, constantly and only wear leather and black and be obsessed with fire, death, skulls and eating if you want to be a 'real biker.'
I hate people. They make me angry. Bikers don't piss me off if they're just your average joe that rides a motorcycle.
I'm going off on a tangent, I'ma stop now. I have to say though, I think the Hondas and the Suzukis look way cooler than Harleys

I got $1000 from my grandma. I was floored. So I saved that and worked a couple of weeks and got a MacBook
I also got $100 from my sister and $120 from my mom's friend Jack who might as well be family and 2 seasons of friends [My favorite show ever!]

I live in Canada and we have 'Robins Donuts' which was [maybe still is, ours shut down] a chain but now you can buy their coffee in stores and make it yourself.
But as for stuff I buy that I don't make, Starbucks is win.

Happy belated birthday!
Thanks for everything you've done with your site!

TPR TV.
CoasterTube limits you to coaster videos.
I worked really hard on it- hope you like it!
I personally don't really like bevels and gradients much, but I think this image suits the site extremely well, gives it a carnival-esque atmosphere and also looks sharp. I did, rather than letting each character be it's own identity modify the font on 'TPR' to combine it into one element.
Not asking you to use it, not at all, just thought you might like it, and it might help with some ideas.

Not trying to be a wet blanket on the love fest, but I don't really understand why you guys think these are so amazing great. They pretty much sound like they are, a kid doing an okay job with tinkering around in Garage Band. It's not hard to make the drum and synth loops, they made the program so anyone could easily do them. Sean, I think you show a lot of potential, but I'd work on trying to make these not sound so manufactured and computer generated. Most good electronica (in my opinion) doesn't have that "sounds like it got generated in a free program" vibe.
Also, I'd totally stay away from vocal effects. It's like when you see someone use a lot of cheesy transitions when they are first learning to edit videos, it's seriously distracting and seems like you're using it as a crutch. Kanye killed auto-tune, let's all move on.
I think it's great you are putting your stuff out there, and I would encourage you to continue, but I have to be honest when I say I don't think either of these are very good.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate that! And I don't have very many vocal effects on in Plasticity, I have the auto tuney effect on but it's not on that heavy. I do really like them though, the artist I'm most inspired by is Lady GaGa, and if you don't like her music you probably wouldn't like mine, haha.
I don't know if you realized this, but I didn't just use pre set loops, I made them with my keyboard. Thanks for listening, though, I appreciate your advice.
PS: Sounding totally computer generated is what I wanted
You guys can use Plasticity and Lively for whatever you want, I'd appreciate the "helping me get out there-ness."
You can also hear the new song I'm working on there, I really hope you enjoy it, I think it's my best yet.
-
As someone who also makes their own music, I really enjoyed both songs, but more-so Plasticity...Was that a vocoder or auto-tuner you used to alter your voice in the song? What program do you use to make your songs? I'm currently using FL-Studio 8. Anyhow, great job!
P.S. One of my favorite things to do is make album covers...so if you ever don't feel like putting one together, let me know!
It's an effect that splits my voice into keys. And I'm a graphic designer, so I'm designing my album art- but thank you so much for the offer!
The full version of Plasticity! I've completed the song!
As for what application I use, I just use Garageband on my Mac. =]
PS: Instead of double posting, I decided to delete the previous post to post this one, as I figured a complete song is worth a new post but I didn't want to double post- hope you understand!
8 days left until my heart beats again
Now, now, now, I look like them, them, them.
Hospital, want it all, let me fall
Botox, robots, conscience is small.
Television is my vision
ice cold, body trippin'
One night stand
Somebody else in your
bed every night.
Fall into my little plastic eyes
and I'll love you with
my plastic heart,
Plasticity
Plasticity
Dance with me
We'll be barbie dolls together
Dance with me
Plasticity
Plasticity
Dance with me
We'll live on eternally
'Cause plastic never dies.
D-d-dies, dies.
Plasticity ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty
Plastic City ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty
P-P-Plasti
C-C-City. ty -ty -ty -ty -ty- ty
Hearts can never break
when they've never beat, beat, beat
Glitz and glitter all over my skin
Lipo, have to be thin, thin, thin
Hollywood's always good, understood?
Detox, robot, We knew you would
Incision decision
Lift it or tuck it in
What is the plan?
Me and you
In the room every night
Fall into my little plastic eyes
and I'll love you with
my plastic heart,
Plasticity
Plasticity

Holla at you Hollywood
You know I love you...
let's be friends.
Just kidding... ew...
Plasticity...
DANCE WITH ME!
Those are the lyrics for the song! Just as a note- the little snide comments at the end are not what I'm like, I'm playing a character for the song, just so people don't take me as like that.

I liked plasticity up until the "Hearts can never beat....something...plasticity." It was really cool at first and I liked it.
As for the cover, it looks like a bad myspace photo gone wrong.
And for the Lively song the only things I have against it right now is the first time you say "tonight" in the song it kinda fades out, I'd fix that.
Also just tweak the deep voice in Lively just a LITTLE less it still takes over just a TAD.
Other then that these songs are pretty good.
P.S! EXTREMELY IMPORTANTE! My moms sitting like 5 feet away from me and she cant understand the words so try upping the lyrics and articulating more to make sure its all right.
Thanks for the advice! I understand what you mean about the not-being-able-to-understand-the-vocals part of Lively, but I intended for my vocals to, rather than standing alone, going against the melody to become a part of the melody. Rather than making Lively more dependant on the vocals I decided it'd be best to have a song that contrasts the style of music, so then I came up with Plasticity, which is a far more lyrical song that depends much more on my vocals than Lively, and it's pretty clear what I'm saying.
I do like the little break in Plasticity, where my vocals go all light an airy with the lack of beat, my friends like it too and so do my parents, but I totally respect your opinion. I'll try to fix the deep voice a bit more but I really, really like it and so do my friends. I think I'll keep it the way it is- I hope you understand!
Thanks for listening!

Dumbest things said on TPR

I have fun making music and I'm still doing it, and I got a fairly good reaction. I didn't do anything wrong. How is it dumb for me to try to make music? I posted it to get opinions and help, and that's what I got, and I was appreciative and used it. How does that have anything to do with this thread?
Why am I not allowed to make my own music or try to make an album? I'm not cool enough or something?
That was uncalled for.
