I'm all for swearing when used properly. A well-placed curse can really bring an otherwise dull and lifeless line to life, be it by adding anger, sarcasm, whatever.
Generally, I don't think you should need to swear more than once a song, though - once you're doing that, you're starting to expose a lack of basic vocabulary.



As far as I'm aware (the guys in the pit would be able to answer this for definite, but I have a life away from the internets, so I have an excuse for my ignorance), the school filters work in a similar way to the swear filter on here - they don't actually look at what we see when we open the thread - they look at the code (right click--> view source (in IE)). This means that in the same way you can insert [tags]to[/tags] to circumnavigate the swear filter, those same tags also duck under the school filter's radar, as it's only reading [yourtag]shi[/yourtag]t - although all the letters are there, and the board obviously hides the tags once you come to read it, what is actually there isn't going to be picked up by any of the filters, as in it's code form, it's not a swear.

Class dismissed.
 
You see, that sort of subjective justification is fine with me. I actually...wasn't talking about you, you know. You just put the topic into my head. :lol:

However, I do disagree; simply because the derogitory context of these worRAB adRAB alot to me in certain pieces. Perhaps it doesn't you, and that's fine; but what bugs me is the dismissal of the worRAB without actually examining any context they might be included in.
 
You're telling me, sugar. :naughty:

And I'm not bad - been quite stupidly busy since the turn of the year... only now starting to get back to normal... although don't think it'll be long before I move out, which will be even more chaos.

And remember, we can still always bitch about how this place isn't as good as it used to be.
 
I wrote two songs today.

I also did two critiques.

It seems my daily S&L quota is filled. Now can somebody please give me their opinion on Mew?
 
I sampled them from massive attack songs and stuff like that. the guy is tom waits, one of his spoken word tracks. I couldn't get the back ground stuff off the track so there's a bunch of annoying noises. But I'm going to start mixing up the beats n bass and stuff and something a bit more melodic. Just need some more loops/stuff to sample.

FA Tojes or Pixies would all be good choices for mod, any mod would be good tbh.
