There, I said it somewhere into the internet void. Having two back to back shitty days. Shitty on account of students AND administration stupidity.

There, I said it somewhere into the internet void. Having two back to back shitty days. Shitty on account of students AND administration stupidity. You'll make it through. You're too smart not to figure it out. I know you get it. And yeah, honestly I'll always pull through and get things where they need to be, at least with respects to the students. Grades 1 to 5 are fun at times, but this is not the age group I was hoping to work with, nor what I'm best with. At least the last two years of my previous school I taught grades 6-11, and that was much more my speed. In addition, I was given permission to do whatever I wanted when I was pushed up to middle/high school, so I turned music into orchestra, which was what I always wanted to do. Best two years of teaching I've had so far. Now I'm in a "better" school, mostly better because it's the second highest paying teaching gig in Shanghai. But it's back to general music again, something I'm not passionate about as well. But fortunately, the highest paying gig in Shanghai has a Middle School orchestra teaching job open and I've applied for it and already interviewed once. That'd be at Shanghai American School Puxi. I really hope I get that gig. That would lift my spirits for the rest of this lousy school year. I imagine I wouldn't want to leave that post for 15 years if I could get it. So I'm hopeful for some change, although not expecting.

Yo what's up everyone, been a min since last log in. So I was listening to new 2023 SPARK MASTER TAPE and had like a whole moment in my feels to how I even got to this moment tonight. I'm forever grateful for this site because of finds like SMT. From ILikedYouBetterDead site to this one, SO many bands where found in them days, But Spark Hit different, and the progression has been awesome to watch from then to now. its 4am and I'm a few beers deep and its got me thinking and wondering, has anyone heard from or know how to get in contact with @pyrimidsarecool? Instagram or twitter ? Shoot me a PM to keep things private but That Dude put me on to so much music threw this site amongst MANY other homies. it would be cool to say wuddup to the homie. anyways glad to see TDM alive in 2023. Thanks for all the great memories and Awesome music shared. A lot of albums found on here are amazing chapters of life when life felt just a lil more simpler. Much Love to all who are keep this site up and running. -Porkchop-

What's good everyone. Hope y'all is going well. I totally slipped my mind for a while to check the site out. I have been listening to some more Metalcore lately as part of my regular Rock/Alterative fav genre, along with Pop Punk, Emo, and Post-Hardcore. Been checking this cool band The Devil Wears Prada from the Metalcore list. The first album got me in love. Can't wait to discover more groups out of that category.

Like with a lot of things relating to AI, I'm really not sure how I feel about this... but Suno AI is a thing now. It creates 2 minute songs based on a prompt. Sometimes it creates things that sound straight off a record. I also tried making old school death metal, and it sounded kinda crappy. But the potential of this AI is insane. www.suno.ai/I signed in with Google for my free account access. Not sure what an account's limitations are, but it was fun to experiment with. I doubt I'll be doing this a lot though. Some may find it particularly exciting or useful.

This one is the real winner! Also it kinda cracks me up lol. I felt the same about the first two you made and shared as I did with my Death Metal tracks I made, which is that there are some cool elements but maybe it's the synthetic approach to creating the distorted low-end of guitars is just not adequately supported yet. It ends up sounding like some strange twist with industrial metal with all those odd synthy sounds, which also cause strange qualities to the vocals as well. I hope this is a work in progress, because it's otherwise very cool. I did find that songs of a more clean and less low-end and distorted nature tend to sound WAY better than the kind of stuff I'm usually trying to make.
