OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
What will happen is this:
1: I will post a link to a single song in mp3 format that I have uploaded (www.mediafire.com is probably the best site to use), or maybe to a myspace page or a youtube video if I were lazy or didn't have the mp3 of the song I wanted or whatever.
2: The next person will download and listen to the song.
3: This person will review the song, and post one of their own.
4: The next person will review that song, and then post one of their own.
Do not post a track unless you review the last one in that same post. Do not post a track while there is another one in play. The first person to review each track gets to post the next one. That said, this is not a race. This is an exercise to get you to listen to music outside of your normal comfort zone, review it, say what you think about it, and then impose your own tastes upon others. If it works, then we all get to broaden our musical tastes and have fun. Also, you absolutely must post a link to your song. People aren't going to be bothered to go searching for some song title some douche just typed because he's a lazy ass.
SOME THINGS TO AVOID:
1: Try not to just download and review things you like. Don't download and review any track that you actually know, that defeats the whole point of the thread.
2: Do not take criticisms of music to heart. Discussion is allowed, but don't take bad reviews as a personal insult.
3: It helps to structure these little mini-reviews if you give the track a score out of ten.
4: Actually read this post. If somebody breaks the rules, do not go along with it. Say YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!, maybe post an amusing macro, and then continue with the true course of the thread. The best way to kill this thread is to have two tracks in play at once.
One additional rule: if the link to the previous track expires, then you may re-boot the thread by posting a new track. Otherwise, just follow the rules.
Here's my track:
Lemuria- "Get Some Sleep" (http://www.mediafire.com/?9itml9lsx0y)
