  1. Hey Mary, indeed Ozzy's 80's music and album covers are all awesome. I think my favourite album cover is Starcastle's 1976 self-titled debut. Fantastic music, too.
  2. Since I was about 6 years old I always liked hitting things and listening to the sounds. The first music tape I owned was the Ghostbusters II soundtrack. Many years and musical journeys later at 31 I now compose classitronics. Check my profile for more of my history.
  3. Greetings, all you wonderful crazy people. I suppose you do have to be crazy to do something as nonsensical as making art. I guess I'm here looking for advice on how to get back the artistic drive I had as a teenager when i was always making music. Maybe even someone to hold me accountable. I stayed busy back then, but i didn't know what i was doing, so what I made was not very good. Now at 31, with the experience, knowledge, tools and talent i have, I could make lots of awesome music, yet every day I choose not to because I rarely feel like it. What's up with that? If only I now had the drive I had as a teenager I'd be unstoppable. I have ambitions to write and produce a rock opera album and to create an unrelated cartoon series, but when the weekend gets here I'm tired and I think "I could work on my music, but why put in so much effort to make new entertainment when more than enough wonderful old entertainment already exists?" I start projects, but rarely get back to them. I used to not have to force myself to do these things. Some might say "If you don't want to do it, then maybe you're not meant to." If I'm not supposed to be a composer or an artist, then why am i overflowing with musical ideas? I've tried to quit music many times, but i always go back. I'm more creative now than ever before, but also lazier than ever. OK, you get the idea. Also, if for whatever reason anyone thinks I can offer them advice on something, I'll be glad to give it. All the same, good day to you all.
