<p>Hey all,<br /><br />Where you a fan of the MAD_MARAUDER here at the mix? - If so this is actually me, after a technical hitch that profile vanished from the site. <br /><br /><br />I would just like to say that everyone that was a fan or added by me on that profile it would be appreciated if you could all refan this page instead, I love you all and I miss being able to see who ive reviewed in the past. <br /><br /><br />Feel free to add me, and i reciprocate!<br /><br />Mad_marauder fans dont despair. I am alive and well.<br /><br />==Jez==Mad==</p>
<p>Dear all,<br /><br /><br />Some of your would of known me as the Mad_marauder, some as jez or just as DJ_JEZZA. <br /><br />Over the years I have been progressively loosing control on my emotions and could not face a visit to the doctor, however I was finally forced to when I hit a rather hard snag in my life.<br /><br />I have been aggressive to people, some of my actions here and in various other places have been brought up as possibly unbelievable.... The doctors confirmed to me that I have Bi-Polar, a set of chemical impulses that are not where they are supposed to be. This leads to depression, high bouts of excitement and swings from good to bad natures of emotion. Aggression it seems was my only way to explain these feelings.<br /><br />To anyone I have annoyed, seemed to be "full of myself" to etc etc, please take this an apology. It might not fix things in the short-term, but please be aware that although i might be an ass to someone, until my medication is sorted and all the rest of the paperwork/shrink work is done, I will try (no promises) to be friendly.<br /><br />And to the rest of the people on here that might not know me, <br /><br />Welcome to mixposure.<br /><br /><br />==Jez==</p>
<p>OK, some of you may remember all that crap I spewed about musicians and talent? Well, just forget I said anything about it.</p><p><a href="Gnesa - Wilder (Music Video) is the best argument against my beliefs, and I must say, it's a great one.</p><p>Comment PLEASE!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, everyone can see exactly who I am talking about. Your blog entry that pushes your latest release and allows the public to be aware that you make music shows your insecurity and your disregard of others at this site. Do you know who else has new releases? Did you ever wonder about that? All of the people who have recently uploaded tracks to the site! Makes sense? But your stuff is more important. That's right, your ego needs nourishment. Forget doing it the long boring way of actually paying attention to others' work, because everyone here at this site is here to get the chance to learn of your new release through your blog post, rather than get in line with the other musicians here who have also posted new releases. Here's a thought musical genius - try showing that you are awesome enough to take the first step of deserving someone on this site to listen to your music by showing the musicians who have also uploaded their new tracks, that you are interested in finding out about what they are up to. When I see a blog post about a musician telling a story, or having something other than music on their mind - very interesting. A chance to find out something a little deeper than the fact that you can play instruments and piece ideas together to make a nice little package of thoughts and ideas that we call songs. I am in no way diminishing what it takes to perform this awesome feat - if you think I am saying this to bash musicians you still don't get it. Almost everyone here makes music, we know that by the fact that they have music on their pages. Blog entries show others a different side to the musicians that you don't get to really know about within a song. Hey, look! A musician on this site has a new show - awesome! Hey this guy is having a rough time, that's a shame. WOW! What a great comeback story! What a great diverse community!</p><p> </p><p>BUT, NO. THose stories get pushed to the back because you and DJ Scratch-N-Sniff put out some new dope tunes that everyone has to hear or you are selling your new release at whogivesafuck.com. Who fucking cares? Your ego is the reason I don't participate here much any more. People like you who think we're all here to discover you rather than we should all take the time to discover what each other is up to and what we are about. First you don't take the time to consider everyone else does the same thing you do - make music and wonder what people think about it. Now you are pasting your fucking ads all over our thoughts and ideas that we share to get noticed. Next thing will be a non-stop barrage of everyone trying to push their stuff and using all of our email addresses to spam us like they do at a couple of the other sites that your kind has already ruined. </p><p> </p><p>WAKE UP! GET A FUCKING CLUE! USE YOUR IMAGINATION! If you want someone to listen tell them a story - then relate it to your music. NOTHING AT ALL wrong with that. But when I see your "NEW BLOG ENTRY" and it says you have a new release, I see you as the type of dumb ass that gives musicians a bad name and I don't even want to be associated with you.</p><p> </p><p>Nah, I'm kidding! I just finished a song that I worked long and hard on, it's called, "Find My Way Back Home." It is about the idea of myself becoming homeless and how I would still be myself yet my dreams would be to recapture what I have now. If I don't appreciate what I have now, then I deserve to lose it, because there are millions and millions of people who have it pretty bad. It took me a couple of years to learn how to play all 3 acoustic guitars to do their thing in the song, but then again, I am going on my 3rd year as trying to make music.</p><p> </p><p>I guess this isn't so much of a rant as it is a lesson on how to use your imagination to get a little attention. Oh I can see my phone is ringing now - some newly rehabilitated person probably just finished reading this and wants to thank me for setting them straight - oh there's the other line too! Someone's now knocking at my door! There's that attention that I was talking about. I gotta go! A THIRD LINE RINGING NOW? DAMN! CAN'T I GET A LITTLE PEACE???? LMAO!!<br /><br />By the way, do what you want - I could give a flying fuçk. This is an easy-going site, nobody will ban you for pushing your music. But, I'm pretty confident that I'm not the only one who sees your blog and thinks to themselves, "WHAT AN A$$HOLE THIS GUY IS!" or "WHAT BUNCH OF DOUCHEBAGS!" You make yourself look bad. Show a little imagination.</p><p> </p><p>• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •</p><p> </p><p>That was written yesterday. </p><p>I'm not an angry person. I do however feel a need to speak up for those who are more passive than I am, and I see this as an abuse of the community (how dramatic, huh? LMAO!) When so many people follow the rules and you have these handful of people who circumvent the unspoken rules of protocol, it is a form of cheating. People who don't like confrontation end up figuring, "What's the use?" and eventually get tired of the integrity of the site being compromised. I could care less whether it continues or not. I have already paid for my year here. I stopped coming here a while back when I was participating my ass off only to be ignored. (I could understand people having a lot to do and not having the time to return the gesture of commenting, but come on - if you read your message, click reply and say, "Thank You." or some acknowledgement that you received your message.) I stopped participating so much over here because the lack of regard. There are some things at this site that have me not totally abandon it altogether. One of those things is the sites blogs. Some of these blogs are really cool because you really get to know more about the writers (yeah, I complain to much - you got me! LMAO!) But one day, I was reading as many blogs as I could, and enjoying the hell out of them. It was kind of like an archaeology project - digging up the past. But with the many, many pages and all of the advertising blogs to sift through I eventually gave up. (My pages take about 10 seconds to load and it was becoming an annoying task to sift through all the bs.) When I came to the site yesterday to see who has posted anything of interest, I saw more of these advertisements. It hit me that I might have to forget about even bothering with this place. Then I thought of Jim. It's people like him that I would miss the most. I coupled that with the fact that he had mentioned that he liked a couple of my blogs, so I figured I'd blog this up for Jim! (THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT! BUT SOME REASON I AM LAUGHING!! I THINK I'LL KEEP IT IN! LMAO!) So I figured that the fact that the lack of regard runs deep here I will be the jerk to bring up the things that annoy me and keep me away.<br /><br />I am not putting down those who are managing the site - I see myself as trying to expose the areas that could use a change, because I'd really like to want to be a regular here. I see there has been a lot of work put into improving the site. And I understand nobody wants to be accused of denying someone free speech, but these blogs aren't free speech - they are free advertisements.</p><p>At another music site I visit, there are about 10 people over there whose music I just love, and jump all over as soon as I see they upload a new tune. What makes it great is that when I upload a new tune, they are right there giving me their opinions and comments. I always ask for constructive criticism and they are not shy about giving it. I don't believe that it is a coincidence that we all happened to join the right site at the right time and it can't happen naturally at any site, I think it may have to do with the musicians there calling people out on their BS. Maybe that does go on here - I admit I am not a regular and don't know shit about this site. But the few things that I do like about this site I am slowly losing patience in. No, not you Jim - you're cool! LMAO!<br /><br /></p>
