And a Bears fan, to boot.

That pisses me off.  He doesn't rate being a Bears fan.

Ditka v. Roger?

I like it, but I think your lyrics writer needs some help...

Maybe they could do a song about torturing girlfriends who are too physically ill to be physically capable of leaving the situation, and too far from family and friends to get help.

Meh...we will leave those songs to the death metal genre....We are more interested in booty shakin and thought wakin.

I don't know you, or your history. But there does seem to be an obvious contradiction between passive aggression such as "I suppose you can rally the sycophants" and "I'm not here to fight". So to this disinterested observer, you just come across as a lame troll attempt. That's all.

Hmmm, I suppose you are right..I am not so much being passive aggressive as pretty much resigned to the fact that Roger will hate on me and many will follow suit just because Roger does...mebbe things have changed since I been around and nobody gives a fuck about Roger but, I doubt that..Truly though, I have no intentions of starting drama!

We need a mind control ray emote.

So, Donk...Abuse any girlfriends, recently?

Haven't abused anyone intentionally past or present...and my lovely wife seems to be very happy with me so, I don't think she feels like she is being abused in any way.

Here's one about advertising and prescription drugs from the New England Journal of Medicine:  http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/357/7/673?linkType=FULL&journalCode=nejm&resid=357/7/673

Ever since the decision was made about 10 years ago to allow Direct-to-Consumer advertising for Rx drugs, the use of Rx drugs has skyrocketed.  I'm talking prescribed use.  In my professional opinion, the advertising has caused a shift in the docter-patient relationship.  It used to be the patient went in, rattled off symptoms, and THEN the Doctor figured out what the best treatment was.  Now, commercials tell you to "Ask your Doctor about..." the specific drugs.  So the conversations, more and more are starting from, in my opinion, the wrong end of the equation.  A predetermined outcome that you should be taking Drug X, and now we will work it back to fill in the blanks.

Cool Thank you, this is defintely an interesting topic to talk about! Since you are offering professional opinions, what is your profession?

Listened to a few of your tracks. I dig it! Good rhythm, cool samples, some good lyrics in there too.

Props to you for getting out there and creating something.

Thanks Cramulus!

You "utilize" the space "well".  Which means you completely fill it with noise.  Until there is no space left.

No matter how talented you are, if you don't know when to shut up, you will produce crap.


See, it ain't just a question of playing things that sound good.  You have to leave room for them to echo in the mind of the listener.

Yes, and we have tried to minimalize our playing, I'm on bass BTW, to accentuate the vocals...Is your opinion that the emcee's lyrics are too wordy for the measures they are supposed to fit inside? Or do you feel his style or cadence is not in rhythym with the pocket?

Thats the assignment...I'm goin with the angle of lies and manipulation, mind control, etc...I know there was a certain socio-psychologist who studied the propaganda methods of the nazis and applied them to commercial advertising and media. Does anyone know who that was in particular or could perhaps supply me with some people or events to look for? THanks!

Listening to "What Makes the People Dance?" right now.

Tell your MC to shut the fuck up.
This music could actually be good if you used space.

What do you mean? I think we utilize the space well....He does have a lot to say on some verses but, I think the delivery is pretty good....Seriously though, please elaborate and please be constructive.
