I have no desire to share the music I make with the bunch here. Nor would there be any point. It would just be one more thing for people to be jealous about and nit-pick and take issue with. Why do you think people disclaim their offerings as "shameless self promotion?" Because it is exactly that. It it works for them, then great. To me, it just seems needy. Collect your efforts and put them onto board compilations. That's really the only way not to look like a jackass. If you do have a band that plays gigs, then you have a right to post about it. If you don't, then don't be a cheese. Just some advice.

What brings you back into sections of this frorum that aren't about Sonic Youth, then? Also, what is wrong about people sharing their music on here? I try to listen to it whenever it's possible, and I appreciate people who want others to hear it, regardless of its quality. In fact, I probably admire those more than others because they're not afraid of criticism coming from complete strangers. Some posters share it on the main forum, others prefer to do it through pm, there's no major difference and it doesn't make your music particularly better or worse. And for as long as it's good tunes, who cares?
