    MP3.com used to be cool. It used to be a place for independent artists to have an equal voice on the internet. Times have dramatically changed however.

    Mp3.com used a loophole in its own contract with artists to start swindling artists out of earnings from Mp3 CD's.

    I've always been under the firm opinion that the only people who make money in the "music business" are the people who take money from the musicians. Mp3.com is just another one of those evils. It makes so many promises yet delivers on zero, just like the shady record producer character you might find in a crappy B-Movie. What most of you don't know, is that the corruption of the music industry goes much deeper than even musicians like myself are willing to admit to ourselves. There is no hope, there is no way out. We're all going to die, poor, homeless, and clutching on to our charts, our demos, our albums in our graves.

    Mp3.com, instead of seeking and promoting good music, now sells ad space to the artists instead. If you want your name mentioned at the top of a random web-page for a split second while some acne-infested geek quickly clicks a link away to his favorite porn site, you have to pay for it. Mp3.com now only supports questionable members of the industry that are responsible for destroying the livelihoods of tens of thousands of real artists and self-proclaim themselves as musical gods until the general public submits to their tortuous reign of the airwaves. People like Britney Spears -- products of corporations, not talent. Voices of computers, not humans. The hard work of enslaved, nameless, musicians who sell out to the corporations and agree to empty their creative pockets to support the carreer and fame of some spoiled whore of a puppet. I know for a FACT that Britney Spears doesn't sing on stage. In fact, the only people actually playing are her band, the real musicians. They play to a click track and her recorded voice while she dances does jumping jacks around and sucks up the admiration of whorish young 6th graders.

    Despite Mp3.com's promise of being a tool for artists to promote their music, I never got a single CD sale that wasn't a direct result of my back-breaking work. Then they started swindling artists into actually PAYING MONTHLY CHARGES for their service, promising extra services in return. "You'll gain extra exposure!" they said. "You'll get priority treatment in search engines and charts," they said. I did the premium service for a year, and my stats have been the worst ever in that year.

    Mp3.com would be a much better place if they turned themselves upsidedown. What if, I payed Mp3.com $0.02 for every person they brought to my site and listened to my music? Then they might actually be compelled to give something back to the community instead of just screwing them.

    See you in hell,

    If there were a genere of music called "mega-cheese" this song would be in it. Ultimately it's vibe is aimed at putting a smile on your face as its melody is so over-the-top bubble-gum happy that you feel compelled to laugh, bob, and sway from side-to-side. Combined with some very embellished orchestral synth programming, and happy-boingy synths, this song is a keeper. It spans over 8 minutes with two movements, bordering too long. The first ridiculously happy, while the second has a instrumental dark, hypnotic, orchestral, techo vibe. the second movement has some bizarre colorful chords in the strings -- bizarre but strangly beautiful. I have no clue as to what the chords are... but they're cool...

    If you like sad songs, you'll LOVE this one. The Funeral is quite possibly the best song I've written to-date. Although this recording is VERY OLD, I'm working on a new one that will have much-improved production, and possibly even refined lyrics and a new melody (except the choruses will defintely stay the same for those of you who weep at the thought of the changing of the chorus's heavenly "say goodbye, for one last time"). Hold on to this one and compare, then let me know which one you like better. I had tried to redo this song a year ago with electric guitars, but is just didn't come off as sad enough, so I scraped it after about 300 hours worth of work that seemed to make the song worse and worse each day. But now I'm trying again, with acoustic guitars. Look for the new version coming VERY, VERY soon.
