Feb 20, 2008 05:03 pm Just Started an Account. I refered Coolo. I will get some music on there shortly. I also started one for My band back home, Twin Twelve.

Frisco's Most Underrated
Member Since: Jan 28, 2003
One of my coworkers put me on to this website, encouraging me to put some music on it. I also like it as a fan of (independent) music, and have found quite a bit of music that I like on it.
www.thesixtyone.com
It basically operates on an anyone can participate principle, but the cream rises to the top (mostly).
By the way, I have a song on the front page for hip hop, so if you sign up, feel free to bump it (bace135-broken windows). Also if you want to give me more points put "coolo" for referral... but it's not necessary.

Feb 20, 2008 05:55 pm Kind of looks like GarageBand (and that's not the Apple program).

Feb 20, 2008 06:00 pm Coolo, every time I try to Bump you it says I have to be "logged in as a Non-Artist to do that? ???
Feb 20, 2008 06:08 pm We've been on that site for a few months now. Actually our cover of Comfortably Numb hit number 1 for a couple of days. Pretty cool system and lots of fun with the bumping and all.

Feb 20, 2008 06:17 pm I can't BUMP??? WHAT THE......
Feb 21, 2008 01:47 pm JScott, artist accounts can't bump. I have a fan and an artist account so I can bump and also share my music...
When you get some music posted, let me know, I'll throw some bumps your way. I'm off to go bump BH's stuff right now...

Sweet! Thanks coolo!
Feb 21, 2008 02:42 pm Cool, a website I'm not blocked from!! :)
A bump for Coolo and a bump for BH. I bumped the song with the highest points for you BH.
Feb 21, 2008 03:15 pm I will have to start a fan site. My Artist name is Twin Twelve.
Feb 21, 2008 07:04 pm Dang JScott, I'm jealous of you... ha.
You already got a lot of love (bumps) in just one day.
Bumped BH and Twin Twelve (2 songs each).
Feb 22, 2008 09:26 am I just added My own artist "J. Scott Curlin" only one song on there so far though.
Feb 22, 2008 04:07 pm I just bumped 2 songs each for BH and Coolo.
Feb 24, 2008 10:11 pm OK, I should be back into the HRC mode in a day or two. I'll go bumpin and let ya know.
Feb 25, 2008 10:26 am My new song "Reason to Cry" is on there under "J. Scott Curlin" Cheers,
Feb 25, 2008 11:57 am Giving this a try as well. I'm currently uploading Lantern In the Dark.
My username is JBot
Feb 25, 2008 12:43 pm Hmmm, still have yet to find any metal I like. There was a band that sounded fantastic and reminded me of Tool, System of a down and Incubus all at the same time. Problem is, they reminded me of them the whole time and I'm not looking for re-runs, I need something new.
Although, the "Hot ***** Arsenal" is pretty impressive, she has a nice soothing voice.
Feb 25, 2008 02:29 pm JScott, two of your Twin Twelve songs are on the metal home page. Congrats!
Yeah, I like Hot ***** Arsenal as well...
I just bumped Lantern In The Dark, Jbot.
Feb 25, 2008 03:26 pm CptTripps,
If you like Anthrax, "Fatal Influence" are great. I especially like the song Red Death.
Thanks Coolo, I choice metal for the second Genre, Rock was the first. I love metal but I wouldn't consider either of those two songs Heavy metal. lol
Feb 25, 2008 03:58 pm I just bumped Lantern In The Dark too, Jbot.
Feb 25, 2008 11:49 pm Thanks a lot guys.
Just uploaded a couple string quartets for now. Procession and Recession, which I had written both for a wedding, and as a practice in counterpoint.
I'll throw on my celtic tune once I can upload another track.
BH, Coolo, and JScott, consider yourselves bumped.
-J
Feb 26, 2008 11:14 am Checking out fatal influence now. I did love me the old school Anthrax, among the living is still fantastic.
Feb 26, 2008 12:23 pm Ok dudes, I slapped up some crap I had on my work PC. Papa Joes and Makes No Sense are now posted under "Lunar Landing and the Tightropes". Bump Bump!!
thesixtyone.com/CptTripps
Feb 26, 2008 12:49 pm 3 bumps for Makes No Sense (wish the song was longer...) and 1 bump for Papa Joes (what an odd song - must be from the musical challenge thread?)
Heh, if we get more people to participate, we could have our own little HRC cabal. If everyone were to bump everyone we could consistently have HRC music on the home pages of the sixty one.
Feb 26, 2008 01:22 pm Yeah, papa joes was just a filler and was indeed from the challenge thread, you should check out the original from the youtube posted, it was quite a fun song actually.
Makes no sense might do ok. I have a longer version actually, just never finished the solo on it (hint hint anyone). It was a riff to test the K2 mic when I bought it and then I made up lyrics on the fly, that of course is why it "makes no sense".
But I listed you as my referal for my artist account, you stand to earn 100 points per level if I ever make it :)
Feb 26, 2008 01:27 pm Quick question...
How the heck are people finding my stuff. Where do I go to browse things that are not front pages?
Feb 26, 2008 02:00 pm I just added an artist account of C.D. Prewett and started off with my song "Missus C".
My user account name is Tadpui. I'm bumping stuff as I find it...I'm new to this place so I'm still finding my way around.
Feb 26, 2008 02:46 pm CptTripps, there's two main ways...
1) you can listen to the rack, which feeds you random songs (and you get points for listening)
2) you can click on the browse link and there are some filters so you can point a little more what you want to listen to
3) you can click on peoples profiles and see what they have as their selected music...
I mostly do the browse thing, but beware when browsing, there is a lot of "not good" or lame music on that site...
Tadpui, i'm gonna go bump your stuff real quick!
Cpt, looks like you made it to level 2 and i got a bunch of points for it. Yay!
Feb 26, 2008 02:52 pm Tad, I thought I heard a different version of this song before...singing is definitely different than before, I think I liked it more before, but it's still a great song! Consider it bumped.
Feb 26, 2008 03:12 pm Well I bumped everyone here... at least as best as I could. I used all the points I had. Wow, some of you guys have expensive bumps :)
Feb 26, 2008 03:34 pm The earlier on that you bump a song the more it costs, but it also earns you more points for every bump after. It's like gambling on a song, if you think it's that good it will cost you more but payoff in the long run.
Feb 26, 2008 03:40 pm I've found that if you want to accumulate points (as a fan) just bump a couple of the songs on the home page... they only cost 5 points but since everyone see them, they usually go up. It's usually a decent investment (but not always).
Feb 26, 2008 03:48 pm OK I see. Our bandwidth at work has apparently taken a beating today so I'm unable to play anything at the momemt. I"ll spend some time tonight giving out the proper bumps.
Feb 26, 2008 03:55 pm Ooooh, my song "Hey" just got 13 bumps in 1 minute, I better get on that with my listener account!
Darn, It says I am not allowed to bump it? Is that cause I'm not level 2?
Feb 26, 2008 03:59 pm someone want to give me the lowdown on the logic of this bump system? Would it be cool to apply to music here at HRC? Maybe an additional factor to figure in to the charts or something?
Feb 26, 2008 04:08 pm Sure thing, I think the FAQ says it best as I was confused at first. I would say your rating system is pretty solid for finding the goodies here, only thing is the listeners earn points for "listening". It's actually pretty slick.
www.thesixtyone.com/static/faq/
Feb 26, 2008 04:11 pm hmmmm, points for listening, then allow the points to be spent bumping or something...
interesting...
thanks for the linky.
Feb 26, 2008 04:15 pm Cpt, I think they watch your IP (or something), so that if you login to your artist and fan account during the same internet session, you can't bump your own music...
Or, at level 1 you can only bump each song once, level 2, twice, and so on...
Feb 26, 2008 04:29 pm Yup, IP filtered, just read it in the forums. Which sucks though cause I'm bumping the other way around, I wanted my listener account to get in early on what I thought my be a decently received song. Oh well...
p.s. Lvl 3, another 100 for the coolo. :)
Feb 27, 2008 03:12 am I just posted "She Left me in A" under J. Scott Curlin.
Feb 27, 2008 09:46 am CptTrips, I just 3x Bumped 8411. Hilarious!! I bumped Papa Joes and Makes no sense.
Tadpui I bumped Missus C some more too.
JBot I Bumped Lantern again.
Feb 27, 2008 11:42 am "She left me in A" was on the Rack, I got points for listening and a rack discount when I bumped it :)
Feb 27, 2008 12:44 pm The bass on 8411 is super dope. Bumped.
Oh man, scat on Beautiful Man, I likes. Bumped.
JScott, I bumped your songs as well, except Better Off (let me know when you have the finished version of the song up, and I'll bump it).
Edit:
Jbot, I bumped your procession/recession tracks as well.
Feb 27, 2008 12:52 pm Big fat sliding power chords done on a Fender bassman 250W 1x15 with the tone knob on my bass turned about 3/4 down. For never having done hip hop before I was pretty stoked.
I did drumagog the kick and snare though, the natural drum tone just wasn't hardcore enough for our gangsta lyfestylez ;)
Feb 27, 2008 12:58 pm No more bumping for me for a little bit. I'm broke now.
Feb 27, 2008 12:59 pm Man I would love to get some bass samples like that to play around with... ahem....hint, hint...ahem.
Feb 27, 2008 01:02 pm Not a problem playing wise, just time :) I would have no problem sending you some stuff and telling you the tempo so you can chop up what you want. Just know, they are probably\or will be, in a song elsewhere though :)
Actually, for all the negative thoughts I have about my skills from time to time (own worst critic type deal) I think I make some pretty catchy bass lines. Too bad I don't play bass in a band :(
Haha, I just checked my rank under the "leaders" section. I am #850, just a couple more points and I will pass up the all mighty "Mustard Empire".
Feb 27, 2008 02:19 pm Man, Cpt, if you were able to find some time and energy to put together a bass line in that style and send it to me, I would be googly eye excited! I love that sound, but am not nearly good enough on bass to know what I'm doing...
Feb 27, 2008 02:43 pm Came across 8411 on the rack. Bumped!
(aaand I'm outta points for the day)
Check out Code Monkey by Jonathon Coultron. Made me ROFL. His other tunes aren't half bad either. Very humorous (in the good way)
Feb 27, 2008 02:59 pm jbot, db posted a youtube link for a video for that song a couple weeks ago. If you like the song, watch the video, it's fantastic!
Leaders... I'm number 42 in the hip hop category...998 overall (that's top 1000, people... ha!)
Feb 27, 2008 03:17 pm Oh I didn't think of filtering per style. I am #41 for vocal and #27 for blues, all the sudden I don't feel so bad.
Feb 27, 2008 03:20 pm .... code monkey on youtube?
... -finds and watches-
...
...
...
Awesome.
Hmmm, you know, hanging around the61 might actually inspire me into being a bit more productive in actually working on music more. Lord knows I don't write nearly as much as I should. :P
Feb 27, 2008 03:25 pm I didn't even know they had this stat but we are No. 89 out of 885 in rock.
Feb 27, 2008 03:36 pm This weekend is looking pretty free and I'm flat broke sooo.... might find some time to lay some bass. I don't know exactly what it will be, but most bass lines I write seem as if they would at least work for hip hop. I guess we'll just have to see what comes out.
Feb 27, 2008 03:52 pm How are you finding your rank? Just looking thru the list until you find yourself?
Feb 27, 2008 04:02 pm Quote:
How are you finding your rank?
That is how I did it. I just looked at how many points I had and then browsed around until I found us.
Feb 27, 2008 04:03 pm I know how many points I have as an artist, and then just finding the page where that many points congregate... if that makes any sense at all...
Cpt, don't want to put any pressure on you, but that would be super cool if you were indeed able to lay down some bass for sharing...
Feb 27, 2008 04:49 pm LOL OK I found myself on there.
#693...
...in rock.
Feb 27, 2008 05:11 pm Twin Twelve has #4(Angel) and # 6(Black Roses) in metal. They were higher though:( I can't find my overall, Are you guys looking through the Browse header? If so which how are you searching? Activity, week, Bumps?
Feb 27, 2008 05:14 pm I was looking through the "leaders" tab.
Feb 27, 2008 06:38 pm haha nevermind then Twin Twelve is 342 in metal.
#750 overall
Mar 03, 2008 06:03 pm well, up to 30 points now, almost level 2 so hopefully I can post another track soon. I think I'm #89 out of 150 in instrumental, and like #33/42 on classical.
Quick question on their encoding scheme. The two quartets I posted sound fine to me, but I think I rendered them as 160kbps. Lantern seems to have some anomalous noises though. I'm wondering if they re-encode submitted mp3's down to 128kbps for sake of download speed, since when I try downloading from my profile, the bitrate shows as 128kbps. Lantern was submitted as 192kbps, but if it was re-encoded, that might explain the odd noise. Either that, or maybe the original render had the levels running a little too hot.
I'll try producing a 128kbit version and drop the volume levels a few dB and re-upload to see how it turns out. May need to fiddle with the drum track a little though.
Anyways, I was just courious about how they handle uploads.
-J
Mar 03, 2008 06:49 pm I'm bummed, my work already blocked it, in about a week of me joining. Go figure eh, takes takes the government years to do anything, except for blocking websites I visit.
Mar 03, 2008 09:45 pm Aww, Sorry to hear that man. I guess I'll count myself lucky that the university network guys aren't so harsh. Well, that and I'm friends with our admin.
Edit:
Well, re-uploaded the 128kbit version of Lantern but it still seems "dirtier" than the source mp3. Hmmm, maybe it just doesn't like that one synth lead. Even lowered the levels a bit. And I did make some minor changes... I also messed with the guitar sound a bit. Couldn't resist playing with FreeAmp 3. :D Well, overall it's a slight improvement either way, so I'll leave it as is. If they want the "nicer" version, they'll just have to pester me for it :P
Mar 04, 2008 03:28 pm I bumped lantern in the dark like 5 more times, hopefully that'll help get you over the hump to level 2.
Mar 04, 2008 03:55 pm J-bot, I was able to bump you one more time but I can't anymore. Didn't seem to help you get to level 2.
Mar 04, 2008 05:07 pm Aww, I feel loved ^^
Thanks again guys. I'm only 3 points away. Maybe the guy who bumped the Recession 5x will give Lantern some lovin' hehe. The next track I'm putting up is going to be Haven. It's a celtic piece inspired by the far too many games I play hehe.
-J
P.S. I've found that I think I am starting to get some inspiration/drive back. I was humming Coulton's Re: Zombies at work today -lol-
All we want to do, is EAT YOUR BRAINS!
Mar 05, 2008 01:02 pm ok, two bumps for recession and one for procession...
Mar 05, 2008 02:23 pm w00t! Profit!
I'll post Haven soon as I get it rendered again.
I er...for some reason I musta forgotten to throw it on the file server before I formatted. >_< But I'll have it up there in a bit hehe.
Edit/Update: Haven is posted there.
Mar 05, 2008 02:41 pm Damn website blockage, I guess I can be glad they have never blocked the HRC (knock on wood).
Sooo.... can anyone tell me what level "Lunar Landing and the Tightropes" are at? Probably needs a new song before I advance anymore, something glorious for certain.
Mar 05, 2008 02:44 pm Quote:

Level 4, 277 points
Mar 05, 2008 02:50 pm Oh.. not too shabby. Hopefully my listener account has some points to spend now also :)
Mar 06, 2008 09:47 pm Wow, how ironic. I happened to start with CptTripps and bumped him and just let the player go. Funny enough the next song to play after Tripps stuff finished along comes this tune called Angel by some band called Twin Twelve. I just found it kind of odd that listening to an HRC member and his stuff is followed by another HRC member.
coolo, I used you as the referel and am going to spend my last few points on bumpin your stuff. I'll have to do an artist profile as well I suppose.
Mar 06, 2008 09:55 pm And ya know something that annoys the hell outa me about that site already? There count down clock for listening for 1 minute before bumping is F'd up. I listened to coolos track for at least 2 before trying to bump and it and it still warned me to listen for at least one minute.
Mar 07, 2008 04:14 am BH, I just revived "I know she Understands" cost me 1000 points though. lol. You owe me. haha
Mar 07, 2008 01:31 pm Thanks Noize! Your bumps and a couple others from random people got me over the hump to level 3 last night as an artist. I just hit level 7 as a fan. Put up some music noize and I will bump it!
Mar 07, 2008 01:54 pm Holy crap! 1000 points! Wow. Yup, owe ya one.
Cheers
Mar 07, 2008 01:54 pm Ya, I shut it down just a tad before reaching lvl 2 as a fan. I am letting the rack just play and earn me some points to bump with during the day today.
I'm adding you guys and just random stuff as I go as well.
Mar 07, 2008 01:57 pm COOL! I get 20 points just to log in, reached level 2 and will start bumpin when I get home later.
Mar 07, 2008 04:34 pm Yeah it is a hassle when I just want to bump the HRC guys stuff. I do understand the reasoning though.
I have over 100 points to spend now on my listener account, will get to it over the weekend hopefully.
Mar 07, 2008 10:39 pm I've already bumped several today and reached level 4 as a listener from level 2 this afternoon. I'm just letting the rack play and adding stuff. It appears you gain points for downloads as well.
I have another 280 points to spend now and will be bumping again tomorrow evening.
I still need to search out everyone here though. If you haven't already listed what your music is under here yet do so and I'll seek you guys out.
BH, are you under London Project? I tried to search that and came up empty handed.
Mar 07, 2008 10:45 pm Hey noise, ya London Project.... strange that it is not showing up. I've never really searched for it as I've always had a link so who knows??
Mar 08, 2008 10:32 pm BH, I got it tonight as it came up in the rack and I just followed it to your page and added all your tunes. Bumped some and will bump more as I go.
Can someone tell me if it is total bumps for all time or is it on a per day basis. I am now allowed 4 bumps but it only let me bump coolo to a total from yesterday and today of 4.
I like that rack thing as I just let it play and earn points and add stuff as i am going. Lotsa good downloads as well.
I also got awarded 96 points from a band called Glow World or Alex Glow World. I simply added him and I think even bumped him once and low and behold I get gifted 96 points from doing that. And its the only song he has up. I found that odd, but cool.
Mar 09, 2008 07:18 pm OK I think I have everybody now and have added yer music and started bumping others that I have not bumped.
J-bot, unknowingly I had already added yer stuff and bumped you when Haven was playing in the rack. I recognized the music but it was late and your name there fooled me, it might have been the picture as well.
Has anyone else noticed that there is a large number of Second Life people there? I got hit on by two different girls/women already on my wall which I quickly deleted. Not really into the cyber honeys anyway.
Mar 09, 2008 07:30 pm Aye, I've noticed quite a few of those second-life pics on users as well. Thankfully nobody's tried to throw any comments or hit-ons my way at least hehe :) Thanks for the bump Noize :)
I think I set my artist-name as my real name, but the page is under JBot. Wonder if I can fix that.
Mar 09, 2008 10:34 pm Ya, it was kind of funny cause the music sounded very familiar and I just wasn't registering it. And like I said, the pic and the name just threw me a curve.
I'm sure you should be able to go in and edit it, maybe.
I'll be bumping a bunch more later. I figured I'd just play the rack for awhile and gather some major points up to use. I've gathered some decent points and am just short of level 6 which I'm sure by the time I log in tomorrow I'll be there from points gained by some decent choices I've made and artist's I've added. I've noticed that bumping something playing in the rack that I think will do well pays off in the long term.
Mar 09, 2008 11:03 pm I jumped on the bandwagon here... I just had to after reading the posts in this thread. I like this community a lot; it's really focused on the music instead of drama and b/s. Good times :) I'm registered as Keith Warren if you wanna send some bump-age my way. :)
Mar 09, 2008 11:29 pm Cheers for the bumps everyone. Just checked in and our cover of Comfortably Numb is #3 overall right now. It was actally #1 at one time shortly after I posted it. Now it seems to have caught a second wind.
Keith, bumps comin your way
Mar 10, 2008 11:26 am I haven't touched it in days, I should hopefully have some good points racked up to spend. I need to go through this post and make a list of all the artists.
Actually... here we go so far as far as artist accounts go. I will slang my points tonight.
CptTripps = Lunar Landing and the Tightropes
Keith Warren = Keith Warren
BeerHunter = London Project
JScott = Twin Twelve, J. Scott Curlin
JBot = James W. Pennington
Tadpui = C.D. Prewett
Coolo = bace135
Mar 10, 2008 12:20 pm coolo = bace135 for my artist account.
I'm off to go do some bumping, I got 1400 points to throw around. Yee! Keith, you're tops on my list to bump.
Mar 10, 2008 12:34 pm Just to chime in, but if you search for "JBot" on the61, it'll return with my real name showing up (James W. Pennington) however the account page is still JBot, and I haven't found a way to change it around...(don't think there is one actually)
I spent quite a few points over the weekend, but once I get some return, I'll give Keith some bumpin' lovin'.
.... is it just me or did that just sound very very wrong?
Mar 10, 2008 12:36 pm Hahaha, bumpin love.
Fixed those artist names. I have not found a way to change either.
Mar 11, 2008 09:24 pm Mine fan account of course is noize2u, I haven't thought of a name for an artist account yet though as they wont let me use the same name. I should have thought of that before I jumped in.
Keiths fan account is KeithWarrensEar by the way.
I'm lovin the place to just let it play in the background. Freakishly I'm still listed on the front page as one of the top rookies. I guess reaching level 6 in a matter of a few days is good then. I just need to score some major hits to garner some big points.
Mar 12, 2008 03:01 pm It's kind of a struggle for me to gain points as a fan, because most of my bumps are for hip hop songs, and not many people there bump hip hop like they bump rock... plus it's hard to listen to the rack for too long, cuz while there is some awesome music there... there is also some HORRIBLE music there as well, and I have a hard time listening to some of it. The never play again button gets a lot of use!
Mar 12, 2008 03:17 pm Ha! I definitely agree. I can only take so much of the rack, then I gotta quit for awhile =).
< low rolling 'uuugggghhh' sound >
Mar 12, 2008 05:14 pm I let the rack play on my work PC from 3:30 yesterday until 7:00 this morning. I "racked" up about 600 points that I will happily spend on some HRC goodness. I know it's cheating but I just don't care :)
Mar 12, 2008 05:24 pm ya, its kinda like American Idol voting accuracy.
Mar 12, 2008 06:05 pm I didn't want to admit to it, but I've done that a couple times too...
great minds think alike, no?
Mar 12, 2008 06:07 pm Seems like I am all racked out, been playing for a couple hours with no points. Guess they need a new rack playlist.

Here's one for ya
www.thesixtyone.com/londonproject/
Mar 12, 2008 06:38 pm You can only get so many points per day with the rack. Don't know what the limit is, but you have to wait until tomorrow, then you can get points again.
Mar 12, 2008 09:43 pm Hmmm, yeah, the rock/alternative tunes definitely seem to take the spotlight most the time. It's what people like :D Guess I'll have to get off my duff and try producing a more rock or jazz oriented track sometime. Maybe swap out the two quartets for some more recent work hehe.
-ponder-
Mar 12, 2008 10:56 pm I don't know, I've been hearing folk, electronica hip hop and all kinds of stuff in the rack here. Some pretty spacey stuff as well. J-bot, your stuff was in the rack a couple of times so even classical and jazz is getting in there.
I did find that it stalls out once in awhile though as it did to me on Saturday when I fired it up before I left for the lake and only gained about 20 points.
Tonight listening from 7 pm to now which is 10 I plundered well over 150 points in that short period.
I am wondering as well if it is watching what you add and download as well. I've noticed that a couple of times if I add something that is new and strange I get a bonus.
Mar 13, 2008 11:51 am I just spent about 300 of my points on JBot, haven is awesome.
Mar 13, 2008 02:18 pm Wow. Glad you liked the tune, man. I'll be sure to work on some more celtic tunes soon :) Apparenly I have an ear for it hehe.
Mar 13, 2008 05:31 pm No HRC is left behind!!!
I did spend my points best I could, I bumped several of yall's songs as many times as they would let me. Now hopefully it will pay off :)
Mar 13, 2008 05:47 pm Haha, just noticed noise is now #4 rookie
Mar 13, 2008 09:36 pm Ya, Keith is keeping me appraised since I don't get home till after 6 lately. He is at number 1 now though. I'm trying to break 1000 points and then start bumping again. The rack is actually paying off for me at the moment it seems.
I'm just trying to catch up with studio work as well and keep up here so I'm not spending a lot of time out bumping at the moment.
Mar 14, 2008 06:42 am Numero Uno. lol
There's so much good music on there, and it's addictive!! There should be a warning label on the homepage;
"May cause sudden dis-interest in all things non-musical."
Mar 14, 2008 08:30 am My listener account just hit level 9. I'm off to Bump some HRC stuff

Sweet! Wow, didn't even notice you way up at the top - lol
Mar 14, 2008 02:44 pm Man... I just went on a 1700 point HRC bumping binge. I now am level 7 with 4 points left...I may never reach level 8.
Mar 14, 2008 02:49 pm My ninth level Monk can still take you with his +1 magic open hand attack.
Mar 14, 2008 02:52 pm um.... i may have tried playing d&d maybe twice in my life... so most of that is over my head...
Mar 14, 2008 02:59 pm Just laugh along...trust me, it was kinda funny.
Mar 14, 2008 04:58 pm Monks pwn.
My level 2 bard bows in reverence.
Mar 14, 2008 05:11 pm hoo man, i got in on Keith's Promises (live) at 5, it's been a gold mine for me =).
333 and counting =).
Mar 14, 2008 08:26 pm I'm headed there now. Don't know why I haven't gotten to it yet.
Mar 14, 2008 08:34 pm OK, got it in my 3 song thingy. And bumped ya 6 times Keith, man do I love that song. Its still makes me friggin cry just listening.
Mar 15, 2008 04:09 am Just incase anyyone didn't know this. If you don't de-select download, then it automatically lets people download your music. For Musician's accounts of course.
Mar 16, 2008 05:43 pm Jeez, Keith must be on a major listening spree. Moved up huge and gained some major points. I wish I had the time to get that far that fast.
Mar 19, 2008 12:07 am Huh, just hit level 3, and I have no idea how. I mean, the points on my tunes don't add up to 208, yet...I seem to have somehow gained some spontaneous 100 points cause I was pretty sure I was only up to about 105 or 106 yesterday. Strange. Well, guess I'd better go finish up something so I can post it hehe :)
Mar 19, 2008 05:48 am Yea, I think both my musicians accounts doubled or more today.
Mar 19, 2008 08:51 am I got demoted 2 levels and lost half my points.... sucky.
They instituted a new leaderboard ranking strategy based on "metadata" that makes it more fair; in other words, 1 bump no longer equals 1 point. They're not telling anyone what the new criteria is, only that it's changed.
Mar 19, 2008 08:52 am Bahaha, going Google's route and not sharing information, it's a good idea. The more people know, the more people understand how to game it.
Mar 19, 2008 01:44 pm Oh snap! I got 304 points now and hit level 4 as an artist. Sweet! Even if I only have 153 points...
Mar 19, 2008 05:44 pm Damn!! They blocked me again!! Who blocks something, then unblocks it just to block it again. Talk about teasing a guy.
Mar 19, 2008 07:16 pm i've found that if my browser window is open for too long, i can't access that site... but if i open a new browser window i can get there...
Mar 19, 2008 08:36 pm I got in early on Keiths newest tune and gathered 383 over night. Good going Keith.
I guess I'm eligible now to revive a song.
I also got into an electronic chic the tune is Deliverance and am raking some pointage from that one as well.
Mar 22, 2008 03:20 pm I see a lot of bumps from HRC members! Cheers to that, we've climbed to #56 on the leaders board. Awesome.
Mar 23, 2008 06:00 pm Ya, Tuna is on now as well. I'm trying to get him to visit you guys stuff and bump em. I see coolo's Broken Windows needs a revive. I'll try and score another boat load of points tonight and revive it if it hasn't gotten it by this evening.
Mar 27, 2008 12:13 am Well, FL-Studio 8 released today, so I got a new track up, although it's still kinda WIP-ish. It's mostly done. Ah, electronica goodness. (I messed with it in the FL8 RC2, which expired a week or so ago, so had to wait for the official release to work on it again, doh!)
Anyhoo, I still have a couple gems left that may be post-worthy after freshening up a bit (updating the sounds and such) but otherwise, it's looking like everything after this will be brand spanking new!
I may need to get my friend's permission since a couple of the tracks I'd like to freshen up were done for his group's class project, but I doubt that'll be an issue.
Anyway, my goal is to have at least one track ready to go for each new level I hit. I just hope I can make enough time to hack it hehe. Wish me luck!

That is pretty much what we are trying to do. It helps to have deadlines. Our best stuff always seems to come at the end of the last day of a deadline.
Mar 27, 2008 08:34 pm I'll head in to check it out. I'm in the rack at the moment so I'll pop over and have a listen.
Mar 27, 2008 08:39 pm Just listening, man is that cool indeed. Very dreamy and intoxicating. Are you suing and arp on the one sound or is it a Sample and Hold patch? Either way I love the way it filters and moves around in the track. I'm a sucker for a good filtered sound.
Sounds pretty good right now, can't wait to hear it when its done.
Mar 27, 2008 08:59 pm For the arps, I'm using a modified reset of Ugo's Rez synth (which has some nice arp capabilities) in tandem with one of the arps on Yellowtools Independence Free.
And setting the panning to an LFO kinda thing, so it pans left and right. Other than that, the arps just follow the chord progressions of the strings/pads, but it works pretty well. It is simple, but nice. :D
The track is pretty much good to go, I just may tweak a few minor things hehe.
Mar 27, 2008 09:47 pm Ya, the arps are what really got me listening harder. They work very well in this for sure. I'll have to go have a look at those two synths. Like I need anymore at all. I think I already have the YellowTools one, not sure though.
Mar 30, 2008 10:01 am I just reached level 10 as a listener I am off to bump everybody's stuff.
Thanks alot for the addiction Coolo!!! LOL
Mar 30, 2008 10:23 am I tried to Revive "Broken Windows" but it says I revived to recently. How long is it before you can revive again?
Mar 30, 2008 09:49 pm Ya, I'm with you on the addiction part JScott.
I have not used a revive yet so when I hit 3000 points it should be level 9 and I'll do the revive if you haven't gotten to it yet.
I wish I had more time to just let the rack play and could invest some time in choosing the right songs to earn some points.
Although a couple of Keith's have scored me some very good points, around 750 or so I think.
May 27, 2008 04:37 pm Sweet, have not checked in awhile. Makes no sense is on the first page for "Hot\Vocal" and is on page 3 of "Best\Vocal".
Jun 02, 2008 07:13 pm I posted a new song on thesixtyone (different than the one i posted here) from my upcoming album. It's already gotten 36 bumps in about an hour (even if about 5 are from myself). Anyhow I say bump while the bumpings good (and it's always good... wink wink!)
Anyways it's called Get Right.
Jun 03, 2008 12:19 pm Sweet, I will hafta check that out tonight and toss some bumps your way!
Jun 03, 2008 07:45 pm I'm on my way to bump it now.
By the way, I've actually been scoring some points off of one of yours coolo and a couple of J-bots as well lately.
Jun 03, 2008 07:59 pm Saw you bumped it Noize. Thanks much. I'm getting a lot of love on the new one. Yeah, I keep getting points off J-Bots stuff, and even one of my songs that you can't bump anymore, don't know how that works...
Jun 03, 2008 08:05 pm OK, max bumped it for ya. Now get it on the front page dude.
OH ya, by the way I like it. A lot!!!!
Jun 04, 2008 01:51 am Hehe seems a few people have been giving me some bumps. Oddly enough, the Recessional has the highest score so far at 52 bumps, and I don't even consider it one of my stronger works -lol-
Anyhoo, the Trumpet quartet was the last thing I posted there, so it hasn't gotten much attention yet. But no worries, it'll probably be awhile before I can post anything new. Full-time work eating up quite a bit of my time, but hey, it's money which = paid bills. :)
-J
Jun 04, 2008 09:41 pm Hey noise, got your msg about Leaving the Past Behind. It had a good day today and ended up on the front page :)
Jun 04, 2008 10:41 pm Hell ya BH, I max bumped it after seeing it hit the home page and it smoked me with about 140 points or so so far tonight.
Coolo, ya I switched the new tune into the little 3 song thingy and moved LTPB in as well BH.
Gotta show some love ya know.
Coolo, I think it needs to be revived in order to be bump-able again. Not sure on that though.
Jun 18, 2008 07:59 pm Aw Yeah! My song Get Right finally posted to the Hip Hop home page. I was starting to wonder if it was going to.
Apparently you can still bump something if it says revive, you just have to hit revive, and then there is an option to bump. That will explain how I kept getting points on Broken Windows a while back.
Jun 18, 2008 10:51 pm Ya, I figured that out last week.
But ya, I got the email on it hitting. Very cool indeed.
I scored some more points from it today as well. I found some krazy kat or two kats really called King Tut and their stuff has been just popping me with points. Its kind of off the beaten path stuff, you should give them a quick listen. I think I added a couple in my radio, otherwise they are in my bumped list.
