Boundless Talent

<p>I just wanted to say that Mixposure has to be one of the most, if not the most, awesome independent music communities in the world!</p><p>I belong to several online music sites and honestly, some sites make you feel like you're in a seedy back alley dive with, what seems like that same old nasty hag with a cigarette hanging half out of her mouth and smeared lipstick up the side of her cheek with a raspy smokers cough that seems to be in every dive, the bloodshot eyed bartender that looks like he hasn't slept in three days, the single beer stained pool table, a sink for a urinal in the bathroom, and the stench of stale beer and cigarette smoke everywhere. I'm not at all saying they are all that way but there are a few. In contrast, Mixposure feels to me like there's nice, new, clean furniture to relax on, the people are great, everyone supports everyone else, the air is crisp and clean, and there are many bartenders, each with perfect bodies and nice tight tee-shirts, that cater to our every whim (.....well almost).</p><p>Regarding the radio and the dj's. Every dj I've dealt with here has been very accomodating, to me and to everyone else. They don't have to play my songs, but they do. They don't have to help us if we need it, but they do. They don't have to spend their time leaving very gracious and generous comments on our songs, but they do. They don't have to spend time with us in the chat room, but they do. They don't have to spend countless hours preparing and then playing our songs so that we can have one fleeting moment in the sun and go "hey, look at me", but they do. They don't have to constantly stroke our egos about our songs while their own music takes a backseat, but they do.</p><p>The chat room is yet another very accomodating place. Everyone in the chat room, and I mean <span style="text-decoration: underline;">everyone</span>, is extremely courteous, respectful, friendly, fun, supportive, and personally I have never witnessed any unacceptable or unexcusable behavior by anyone. I'm not saying it hasn't happened here before, and I'm not saying it won't happen in the future. I'm just saying that I have not personally seen it. Everybody is awesome! And, take my word for it, if I can exist here and get along with everybody, then <span style="text-decoration: underline;">anybody</span> can. I have usually pissed off several people by this time in other places. But not here. In case you don't know me, I am.....wild. I know I am, but I just like to have fun and enjoy myself and the company of others. I am also honest. Sometimes this offends some people. I don't intend for it to and I never intend anything to be mean or rude. But, it's very difficult sometimes to convey a true meaning in simple typed text, so things sometimes get misunderstood. I will say however, that I will not back down from a fight, whether it's an online text fight or in real life. I can't help it, that's just the way I'm wired. But I'm really trying to work on my demeanor. But, the point is that everybody here seems to understand what I'm saying when I say it and what I meant by it, which is odd. I don't get that too often. Everybody seems to understand that 99.9% of the time I'm just being silly and trying to have fun. It's very rare, at least in my opinion, when you can have 20 or 30 people in a chat room, and everybody gets along and has a great time. It's a beautiful thing!!</p><p>One last thing. The combined talent on this site is so <span style="text-decoration: underline;">staggering</span> that it simply cannot be put into words that would do it any justice! It defies reality. Why most of these people are not a household name is beyond me. Why most of these people don't have 50 platinum records hanging on their walls is disturbing. Why most of these people are not playing in front of a million seat sold out crowd every night is tragic. You just have to listen. That's it. Listen and the truth of what I'm saying will be as evident as the bright blazing Sun. True talent does not exist in the murky waters of today's mainstream radio and television. The true talent lies in the shadows. An entire world of artists, musicians, and songwriter's that you may have never heard of, not to mention the countless cast aside legends that actually made <span style="text-decoration: underline;">real</span> music but are now ignored by the industry, that, if unleashed, would drive every major record label and executive to their knees and cause them to beg for mercy. We are out here. Our numbers are growing exponentially and soon, they will no longer be able to ignore us. Soon, it will be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">our</span> time. Mixposure is leading the way with the endless talent that has found a home here. THIS is the future of music!!</p><p>So, what's the point to all this? It's simple. If you are not a member here but are considering joining but you aren't quite sure, DO IT!! I promise you that you will never regret it! And, if you choose not to, that's alright too, but you'll be missing out on something very special.</p>
