I do, whenever i make something and i think "this is great" ill upload it somewhere and either no one will bother to write a comment or something (like its so much fucking effort) or people will just say what should be in it like "ooh add more female vocals herpa derpa." "oh noo make it darker derpa sherppp." "no you should definitely make it filthier like when i fist my grans tnuc and a lizard came out."or some shit

Don't upload them. Just make tunes for yourself.

Sounds like you've got this idea of fame and fortune in your head, making music to please people. Wrong attitude frankly. Like collige said, do it for yourself and make music you enjoy and want to listen too.

If you think about where you want to be, your only going to limit your creativity and get yourself in a rut like you feel today.

Do what you do, if people like it then all good. If not, who cares...your doing it for yourself.

If i had deadlines and relied on making music for my money i would just have to stop. Obviously this suits others... :(

Just keep your head down, work on them, enjoy yourself and every now and then send to a few friends you trust for their honest opinion.

If your aware of the concept of hyper realities. Then we can. If you believe you see your life flash before your eyes before you die we can, and if you believe that we transgress to different plaines of existence we can.

Or if you don't believe any of it but your able to comprehend then we can. But not right now as I am going to go bed. :wink:
