Greetings and I hope you are having a great day. I am proud to announce the web premiere of my song called “Small Hometown Blues” here at musicnation.com. I hope you give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it. Your feedback is always immensely appreciated.

YEAH, IT´S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
IS THERE LIFE AFTER CONTEST? :) LOL

NOT SURE IF I MADE THE TOP 20 OR NOT? I WAS #15 SHORTLY BEFORE THE END, AND HAD TO GO DO SOME SHOPPING, AND WHEN I GOT BACK IT WAS OVER!!!! :) THINGS MOVE QUICKLY HERE, SO NO ONE CAN BE SURE OF ANYTHING.
YOU COULD BE #1 ONE MINUTE AND #250 THE NEXT!!!!!! :roll:
I SAW IT HAPPEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE!!!!! PEOPLE TEND TO GET JEALOUS, AND JUST VOTE YOU DOWN.
THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY CONTEST, BUT IT WAS REALLY EXTREME IN THIS ONE!!!! :roll:
I MADE IT TO #3 AT ONE POINT, AND IT WAS ONLY FROM PEOPLE I KNOW ON THE SITE, BECAUSE I NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO VOTE FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THIS SITE!!!! :) I ALSO ALWAYS SAID, "VOTE IF YOU LIKE THE SONG". I WON´T VOTE FOR SONGS I DON´T LIKE, AND DON´T EXPECT MY FRIENDS TO EITHER. :)

ANYWAY, MAYBE I MADE THE TOP 20?! BUT IF YOU´RE NOT A YOUNG ROCK BAND, (WHICH THEY SPECIFICALLY STATED THEY WERE LOOKING FOR IN THE SPIN VIDEO) YOUR CHANCES ARE NULL!!!

I´M ALSO #3 IN LATIN AT OURSTAGE.COM WITH MY SONG "DO YOU WANT MY LOVIN". I´VE BEEN #3 FOR OVER A WEEK, SO I IMAGINE I´LL PROBABLY MAKE THE QUARTER FINALS, SEMI FINALS, AND WILL ONCE AGAIN LACK THE VOTES TO GET IN AND WIN THE FINALS, UNLESS MY 100´S OF FRIENDS HERE AT MUSIC NATION COME OVER AND VOTE FOR ME!!! :) THAT WOULD BE COOL, BECAUSE I´VE BEEN IN THE TOP 10 SEMI FINALS 5 OUT OF 6 CONTESTS IN 4 DIFFERENT GENRES. IT WOULD BE COOL TO FINALLY WIN. :)

BY THE WAY, THERE´S SOME INCREDIBLE TALENT ON THIS SITE!!!!!! A LOT OF YOUNG TALENT!!!! ONE OF THESE ARTISTS SHOULD WIN, BECAUSE SPIN IS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BIG ROCK BAND!!!! :)

AT LEAST I KNOW MY SONGS ARE GOOD, AND WHICH WERE THE STRONGEST IN THE CONTEST!!!!!!
SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE OUR SONGS DURING THE ENTIRE CONTEST, I DID SOME EXPERIMENTING!!! :)

THESE ARE THE SONGS THAT DID THE BEST;

1."LOVE IS THE KEY" IS A WINNER!!!
2."YOU DID IT TO ME" DID EXTREMELY WELL!!!!
3."DON´T STOP" DID GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
4."DO YOU WANT MY LOVIN" DID VERY WELL!!!
5."IN THE NAME OF" DID VERY WELL!!!!!!!

I TRIED OTHERS, BUT IT WAS PRIMARILY A ROCK CONTEST, SO JAZZ, FUNK, ELECTRONIC, GENERALLY DIDN´T DO THAT WELL FOR ANY LENGTHY PERIOD OF TIME!!!!!!
THIS WILL VARY ON DIFFERENT SITES AND IN DIFFERENT CONTESTS, BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT, AND THE 5 SONGS ABOVE ALL DID EXTREMELY WELL!!!!!!! :D

AS I SAID BEFORE, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY FRIENDS AND FANS HERE.
I´M VERY GREATFUL TO ALL OF YOU. :)
I´VE HEARD SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC, MET SO MANY WONDER FUL PEOPLE, AND HAD SOME GREAT LAUGHS HERE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, IT´S LIKE FAMILY FOR ME. SO I´LL BE AROUND HERE IN THE FUTURE. MAYBE NOT EVERYDAY, BUT A FEW TIMES A WEEK FOR SURE.

THANKS FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

ALL OF YOU ARE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

Today's Spotlight / salute, brought to you by LSD: (PLEASE READ ALL OF IT. IT'S ABOUT YOU)

Wow. I just woke up from only about a couple hours of sleep, and I don't mainline speed anymore, so please excuse my lame wording. Okay, first off I wanna say that you all know that since we are in the dark at the moment, that I 100% share your feelings in multiple "genres", if you will.

Be strong, and know that although this was an absolute grueling competition, and that most of us worked very hard, that our work HAS NOT BEEN IN VAIN. We have all been heard by more people in far away places, that we could have ever hoped for. PLUS (big plus) obviously THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST COMPETITION here at MN. Lots, lots, LOTS more to come. We also learned soooo much about ourselves and eachother. The collaboration potential is amazing as well. All in all...............FREE PROMO BABY!!!

Ahhhhhhhh, but now comes the absolute most important part of this comment. You ready? Here it comes.....................

LSD's spotlight salutes (A very VERY special one):

If you notice below, there are no links, nor are there names. If you also will notice, you as well as I, in an unselfish quest to explore new artists, probably haven't heard your own music in a while. Or not in depth anyway. In this, it is very EASY to forget what you think about YOURSELF, how you feel about your music, and how great you are, along with your absolute endless potential. Especially after hearing some of there fucking geniuses here at MN. So, the music I want you to focus on today, and the music I am saluting is very simple, and you won't have to go far to hear it either.

Put on headphones, and as loud as you can, listen to yourselves! This is the music that I mostly recommend for you to hear! It is also the music that I can guarantee you'll find to be just what you're looking for. Feel it just like the day you wrote it. The emotions of love, anger, joy, dedication, the person you wrote it for or about, etc, etc, etc....... as the magic of these songs are the ENDLESSNESS of them.


That's my word for today. Thank you for EVERYTHING ladies and gents. The "Nation" loves you!!!

Last day votes for you! I am so glad to have met you through the competition!

Jarah says

I just want to say thank you...

This competition has been a real learning and growing experience for me and my music.

We have created friendships that will last far beyond this contest.

It's been a manic-depressive carnival ride of emotions throwing us from elation to sorrow in a moment, only to swing right back to jubilation.

The energies created by this whirlwind of feelings can only result in the creation of some phenomenal music to come.

Thank you for being a part of my experience.

Much Luv

peace

Voted!

A.C. says

So its after 12 and we're still going! Apparently i'm not sleeping tonight. I'm guessing we have a few more hours before we get our lives back so what better way to spend them other than voting for all of our kick ass friends?! Exactly, no better way.

(EXCEPT FOR MARK DOOLEY, HE GOT SOME CYBER-SUPER GLUE MOJO GOIN’ ON! CONGRATULATIONS, MARK! IF YOU’RE NOT A FINALIST, THE RULES LIED!)
WHO KNOWS HOW THIS WILL WASH OUT TOMORROW, AS THERE HAVE BEEN NO WEEKLY POSTING OF WINNERS (DRUM ROLL, PLEASE!)
BEST OF LUCK AND HOPE TO EVERYONE WHO STUCK IT OUT THIS FAR-WE ARE ALL WINNERS IN THAT SENSE.
TO ALL THE FINALISTS, WOMEVER THEY MAY BE, AN EXTRA PRAYER FOR THOSE EXTRA DEALS THEY ARE OFFERING-AND OF COURSE THE BIG CHEESE:
THOSE TWO BAD ASS GIBSON GUITARS!
PEACE, AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ON “THE OTHER SIDE”!
