Seriously LOOK AT THIS THREAD [and how bad it is].

Postby GHO5T_Official » 18 Apr 2012 03:53

HEY! I'M LOOKING TO GAIN POPULARITY! Sorry about the caps lock, but I need more subscribers and viewers, and no offence to EQD, but I'm not about to change my style to match theirs (to each their own opinion), So I'm basically proposing a few things, I DO NOT WANT THESE TAKEN LIGHTLY:

1. "Montages" - I'm looking for a few people to help on a gaggle (it's a word!) of non-pony (big) house songs on an album that will sell under the Spinnin' Record Label, under the name of "Red Light." I already have a few people working with me on it. Honestly you gotta tolerate one another (not a FIM pun) because most of the people I'm working are either indifferent to the show or downright hate it. Sorry, but straight up, I make music for the sake of making everyone happy, not just certain groups.

2. "Videos" - So my videos are... different from a lot of people's (ponies'? Whatever). They usually have something other than just the "Bars effect" going on, I was just hoping to not really work with people, just kind of make some videos for others who'd ask. I'll post something up in my blogger later on showing the "basic types of videos" I base the video on that and then have the person tell me what kind of style, theme, vibe, mood, so on so forth. All I ask is to have some kind of recognition, you know just a "Hey gho5t made this vid!, Check his channel out here!" or something...

3. "Drink This" EP and remixes - I have the base of a song done in a Tiesto style "Big house" vibe called "Drink This." I made it, and it's also a progressive house remix, but I'm looking for remixers to make a full on EP for iTunes. My... not sure if I should say agent or marketer... came to an arrangement that should the remixes and main song turn out be "good" enough, he's going to arrange for it to be on Youtube's Most Viewed section as well as iTunes "Pick of the week" or whatever it's called...

If you're interested in any of this, message me (depending on which site this is posted on) or e-mail me at [email protected]



Edited by Circuitfry:
  • Apostrophes were heavily abused in this post; the apostrophe is used to notate ownership, as in describing that an object belongs to someone. Example: "Gho5t's post had a lot of grammatical errors." Plural nouns do not have any apostrophes, unless the plural noun has ownership, but the apostrophe is still used differently. Example: "The ponies' eyes were assaulted by Gho5t's bad grammar."
  • When beginning a new sentence, do not capitalize the second word, as well. Bad example: "Let's Pay attention to Gho5t!" Good example: "Let's ignore Gho5t's misguided plea for attention."
  • They're, their, and there are tricky words for some, but let me give you the low-down: "They're" = They are ___, "there" = a place, and "their" = a group's ______.
  • You're and your are tricky as well, because the apostrophe isn't used in this case to show ownership (it is a special case). "You're" is like "They're" as in "You are ____", while "your" is like "their" as in "look! It's your silly post, Gho5t!"
  • I'm not sure why, but You tend to do something weird that I Can't explain; you Capitalize a random amount of words On little grounds. I know English isn't supposed to be Our special Talent, but this should be very simple.
  • It's "something," not "somthing" or "some thing." It's "arrangement," not "arrangment." It's "iTunes," not "Itune's."
  • Names like "Tiesto" are capitalized. Tiesto is more popular than musically influential.
  • Ellipses contain three dots, not two, not four, but three.
  • The first sentence in the third item of your list was clearly not carefully thought out because it had no grammatical structure, and there was a run-on sentence in there, and it switches tense.

CIRCUITFRY'S LIST OF HUGE PROBLEMS WITH THIS POST:
  1. "HEY GUYS LOOK AT MY POST" is not an appropriate title of any sort of topic.
  2. If you want subscribers and viewers, stop wasting time in forums and go share your videos. Don't spam the forums with topics about your desire for an e-fame boost, it's just show-off-like. I mean you're kinda pretty much Trixie if she were to just awkwardly run up to the mane 6 and be like "I WAN 2 BE FAMUS!" Few of us are actually concerned with popularity because we make music for fun, experience and appreciation of a show and its fans. You make music to make an insignificant number bigger. MLR doesn't endorse that kind of message.
  3. Equestria Daily is not a music-focused website, they do not have a "style."
  4. We know gaggle is a word.
  5. IT IS TOO A FIM PUN YOU PRETENTIOUS BOKPONE AND YOU KNOW IT LOL.
  6. If you don't make music for certain groups, why are you asking a certain group (that makes music for a certain group) to make music for everyone?
  7. So basically you want us to fill your album up with stuff without any administration? This just shows that you don't even care about the album you're working on, you just want to make it look impressive so that you look impressive. There exists no passion for the music or the community you are in, you are simply self-centered and self-obsessed.
  8. Most of us use tumblr and not blogger, by the way.
  9. Making a video for our song is a generous offer, but I think I'll stick with owlet and MyLittleVisuals since they seem to share my values with simply expressing oneself instead of promotions or whatever. Personal opinion is all.
  10. What do you mean you don't know if he's an agent or a marketer?!
  11. You can't "arrange" a video to be on a "Most Viewed" section, that requires people to view the video, unless your agent/marketer's job is to just spam your video everywhere?
  12. You mean "decision," not "arrangement."
  13. "Depending on which site this is posted on" wait, so you have posted this on other websites? What.
  14. 10/10 good e-mail.

I couldn't help looking at this thread, given the compelling title.

You are a GOD, sir. Let me quickly bow before you so your eventual massive popularity does not smite me.

*bows*

Alright, I'm gonna be as genuine as I can right now. First of all, your attitude towards this is absolutely terrible. It isn't about popularity, it's all about having fun. if you're playing the fame game, then you're doing it wrong. If you say "Sorry, but straight up, I make music for the sake of making everyone happy, not just certain group's." Then why are you so dead set on being omgpopular?

Secondly, you might be having some issues because from the tone of your post, you seem convinced that your style is perfect, to the point where I'm afraid of pointing out the flaws in your music for fear of it being tossed back in my face.

You are good with visual effects, there is no doubting that. I'm not sure how you did any of those, and they do look pretty neat, and providing yourself to musicians to do these is good, and I think it's kinda courtesy to credit you for the work done, regardless of whether you ask for it or not.

As for the other stuff... no idea. I don't make house music, so that's up to others to decide if they want to get in touch with you.

Well done, Ghost, you got the attention you were looking for. But I hate to inform you that it's not good attention.
Let me know what you'd like me to do with this thread, I can delete it or merge it with the spam thread, or simply lock it. I'm very sorry, but this isn't going to go the direction you were hoping that it would, and you're going to put a lasting bad taste in everyone's mouth for this.

We hate to be harsh, but this attitude will get you nowhere.

Well thanks for outing me and being tolerate bronies. Sorry I written this so sloppily at 4 a.m. and so on. Yes I am looking for popularity, yes I could really use more viewers, and apparently that's all you people saw? Nobody read the next part apparently, but tell me would you honestly click on this post if I just said somthing like "suggestions" or "oppertunities" or a familiar one, "looking for music artists"? I'm guessing not. Funny I asked one other time for artist's for opening songs for the playlist to open for Steve Aoki, and nobody on here is going to be on it. Not for personal or grudge reasons, but for lack of interest.

I have read and taken what the Mod(s) said into deep consideration... Your right, all of you. I do make things seem all about the fame game, I AM a trixie person, anyone who's ever been on a stage with hundreds of people cheering you on, meeting your idols, getting treated like someone at the top around my age and point of success wouldnt be any different.

Yes I wanted to be credited for videos if I made them, they take hours to render, making flames or a 2-D Celestia cutie mark, look like a 3-D Version complete with glow and all that particle shit isn't easy, it takes time. Why do you think I post all my videos at 4 a.m.?

Yes I don't make music for bronies, I make it for everyone, that's why my "Style" sounds so different. I know it's not perfect, I'm not trying to be. It's made to be flawed, it's made specifically for the listener to go "I like this and I can dance to it but at the same time I hate it."

And finally yes I'm trying to be popular, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I thought it would be cool sneaking in a rainbow dash themed song with a kaskade or skrillex track, I didnt think that would actually be considered a bad thing.

And finally as much as I know non of you believe me, the "Red Light" under the Spinning Records label, the "Drink this" EP going on iTunes wasn't a joke, Not trying to start shit, I'm honestly just saying.

Other than that, you know, it's been fun!:) I'm not a brony musician, nor am I a brony. I make the music not based off the character's but how, personality wise, they are. I do the same thing for all of my songs regardless of being pony or not. But thank brony community! I finally got to see how awesome you guys are :)

Actually this attitude got me both a job as a DJ and record deal.(not the whole 'beg for attention thing' just the kinda 'tell it how i want it' thing haha) You can do whatever you want, I don't take it personal :) not every crowd likes the songs you play, you get used to bad feedback

Wait... so, you're not a brony musician?

Or a brony?

But you're making pony music?

And posting on a brony forum?

Care to elaborate, or am I missing something here?
