Why was the octagon even invented?

Was the hexagon not enough?



I can't remember the last time I used either in my daily life.

Two dimensions. Pfft. You guys are a couple of homos.

Try some polyhedrons, funboiz.

Always nice when the cat comes marching in the window with a mangled baby bird at 6 am and won't stop destroying it while we try to sleep.

Thanks for that Junior.

What I am suddenly experiencing grave doubts about - regarding my music project - is the overall integrity. There are some songs that are very serious and dark - and there are songs which are more like winking, humorous social commentary - and I just wonder how jarring the transitions are.

It is all fairly abstract and I think that helps.

But I just don't know.

Same could be said of the actual musical styles. Some songs have an almost raunchy electric guitar foundation - some are clean and acoustic with an old-timey feel - and there are orchestral bits with lots of strings and brass and whatnot.

Some songs are layered and big in sound while some are quite spare and minimalist. Do they fit together? I don't know.



Experiencing some doubts here is what I'm saying.

with satanic lyrics recorded backwards

Yeah the big question is always, am I doing this for myself or am I trying to make something that might have commercial potential?

As for doing it for myself, it is all good. My doubts come up when I think about the latter.

I've got some songs that would be good singles I think. Unfortunately they come up towards the end. For commercial purposes, it might be good to kick off with one but as for the larger story I want to convey, it would make no sense.

Anyway, nothing to do now but keep hammering at it.

Lets see Muddy, off the top of my head, it seems to me that a lot of artists sing a variety of music on their records. Some sing mostly love songs, but may throw a few fun pumped up songs in there, some sing in a very melancholy tune, and then there might be a random track in there or two that are just silly and make no sense. In my opinion though, that is what makes a record or band great, is the ability to sing/write/play different kinds of music.

 

[Mudcat]

Exactly. I'm glad someone here knows what they are talking about.

Muddy we need you on The Voice next year don't sell out and do Idol, it's jumped the shark

Oh yeah I guess that is a lady. My first impression was a Down's Syndrome guy.
