i'm dan. i'm 20. i'm from cherry hill (south nj, near philly). i'm a junior at william paterson university (north nj, near nyc) majoring in english. i want to be a music critic or at least a music-centered journalist, or snag a record deal...whichever one comes up first. i'm the president/editor of the school's literary journal and english club. i'm in love with a beautiful woman named Korey who I've been with for 2 and a half years. i just put out my first record. i'm an outspoken fat admirer and size acceptance advocate. i am living proof that a high school experience involving depression, abuse from classmates, failing grades, attempting suicide, hospitalization, and generally the shit stacked against me can all be overcome in college. i am happier than i've ever been in my whole life. feel free to ask me anything, but be warned: you're gonna hear the horrible truth. i specialize in sex and music questions. my blind spots are sports and cars.

Does anyone know of any artists or songs that sound a bit like Missy Elliott?
I can't find anyone that's famous at the minute.
I don't mind if they're new or old school :D (link)
| |
M.I.A. is a great sri lankan rapper who sounds ALOT like missy elliott and even appears on her new album. imagine missy elliott with some political lyrics and beats that sound like videogame music. look for her song "galang"

Hey im doing an upcoming talent show for skool and the only song that i can think of doing that is easy enuff for my friend is Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana!!! I want a song sumwere around Nirvana, Sum 41 and The White stripes...plz help!!
Thanx in advance =) (link)
| |
the white stripes' "fell in love with a girl" is easy. it's all power chords, it's short and fast. it'll leave an impression and it shouldn't be too hard too sing, which "smells like teen spirit" kind of is.

people out of no where have been calling my like fat whore and all this other stuff...and it really really hurts...im not a whore..and i am a little fat but compared to people in our school im an ok size...and all this just came out of no where...how can i make it stop...and please dont tell me to ignore it or it doesnt matter what people say..cause it does matter what people say and think and theres no possible way to ignore it (link)
| |
the sooner you learn ignore it, the sooner it stops bothering you. put on your headphones and walk away. don't give them a reaction, because they'll just do it more. don't go to your principal or parents...it doesn't work. if it keeps up, tell them you'll sue for sexual harassment, and if that doesn't scare them off, tell your guidance counselor you're being sexually harassed, because that's what calling someone a whore is. and if you're worried about your size, there are plenty of guys who dig chubby or even fat girls (i'm one of them), as you'll find out when you're in a more mature setting.

I have a friend moving away to England during the summer (we currently live in America). I want to put together a mix CD for her. Are there any suggestions of songs I should use? Keep in mind that both me and her HATE rap and urbanish songs...
The songs should be like, about never forgetting her and having fun and stuff... I don't know, things that would remind you of someone who was moving away, if that made sence. Thank you! (link)

"friends forever" by the old 97's should work.

Okay. so. i'm 14-years, female, and live in alabama. I've been told soooo many times that i should try out for american idol, however, i have to be 16. I really want to be noticed. I've had voice lessons, and competed in vocal competitions. I realllly need some advice on how to be noticed..i've search for talent auditions and whatnot near me..and had NO luck whatsoever. i need an agent. help me please. xox7hearts;ash (link)
| |
you don't need an agent, you need connections. find classmates and kids at your school in the music department who play real instruments...guitar, piano, etc, that you can sing with and write songs with. believe me, finding musicians your age will help you much more than american idol, which even good singers have a slim chance of winning, plus getting signed to a record label on your own after writing your own songs will win you more respect and you'll have more creative control than someone who won a contest would. does your school do a battle of the bands? ask around the music department and someone will point you in the direction of auditions and talent shows.

I'm trying to learn how to play guitar, & I don't relly want to ahve to go get lessons, so I wanted to be self-taught, but I don't know any iste where I can learn how to play or know where to buy any books to learn how to play.
I don't know any chords or keys or anything, I am JUST starting so I'd need like the things what show you where to put your fingers & how to tune the guitar & stuff
so if anyone could show me a site that I could learn form or where to buy these books I would really appreiciate it!
& I was also wondering, should I buy an accoustic or a eliktic guitar? (I'm 14/M/TX)
thank you so much!

don't buy books. any tab you could need is online somewhere for free. http://mxtabs.net is the best guitar tab site available, it should have any song you're looking for. buy an electric guitar because it's easier to press down the strings and the frets are smaller, so a first-timer will have less difficulty. i'd recommend starting off with green day songs, or something punkish in general, as they'll help you learn speed and the chords are usually very easy. i've been playing guitar for 8 years self-taught, and it takes at least 2 to fully get a handle on everything. don't force yourself to practice too much, just do it when you're feeling into it, at least twice or three times a week.

i want to teach myself to play guitar. i have a guitar and a couple song books. i can play chords and a few simple songs. but when i download tabs from the internet, they're always wrong. whats a sight where i can find accurate tabs? (link)
| |
mxtabs.net is the best guitar tab site available, it should have any song you're looking for, and there's user ratings, so songs with 5 star ratings should be accurate.

i am in the process of writing some songs. I think that they suck. And i need advice on how i can make them better. I cant ever find anything 2 rhyme with anything. If you get what im saying i need some help or tips on writing songs! (link)
| |
there are online rhyming dictionaries if you search "rhyming dictionary" on google.com, but my advice is to not worry so much about rhyming words, unless you're a rapper. i'd say to write and write, just off the top of your head, for like a page or so just putting things down without thinking about it. then go back and try to put some of the lines together. see if anything works, and then try to shape them into lines you can rhyme at the end. remember, not everything has to rhyme, and for the love of god, please don't rhyme "fly with "high" or "sky" and don't rhyme "love" with "dove."

my friends and i listen to rock music, but they always no the new songs that are out, but i never do(bad radio stations). is there a website or something that has all the new music on it??? (link)
| |
y100rocks.com is my local (philadelphia) alternative station and it has a prtety big playlist with lots of bands, many are new and largely unknown. pitchforkmedia.com features daily music news and reviews of new bands. read some reviews and see if anything sounds good to you. then trot over to amazon.com to listen to samples if you'd like.

I want to take the words out of a song on a music CD,and some how,(DO NOT KNOW HOW),record the same song with my voice. I want to use my computer to do this. Can anyone tell me HOW this can be done,IF IT CAN,or some ideas on how to do this at low cost,cheap software,computer recording trix,any advice no matter how little will help. I have a Music Match Plus Program,if that will help anyone,I will greatly appreciate the HELP. thank you,MrNoVoice. (link)
| |
can't be done. if the songs you want to record yourself over are hip-hop songs, you're in luck, because instrumental versions of most big hiphop hits are available...try searching kazaa or winmx for instrumental or inst and see what comes up. as far as recording, cool edit pro is the best program available for amateurs on windows. it'll set you back $500 or so but you can look for bootlegs online.

what kind of music is this grateful dead, frank zappa, little feet, the who, rolling stones, led zepplin, pat b., santana, weird al, rage against the machine, jimmy hendrix ?? (link)
| |
most of what you named is classic rock, except for weird al, who plays music parodies (funny versions of other people's songs) and rage against the machine, who play rap-rock that's very influenced by led zeppelin

Ok, i am a 17/f, and VERY innocent, lol, i've never had sex, but i masturbate, and why is there white and clear discharge "inside" of us? Thanks, I rate Very High! (link)
| |
it's just vaginal discharge..the fluid that makes the vagina moist when stimulated. it's totally normal.
|
|
does sex hurt the 1st time? how bad? plz help (link)
| |
if your hymen (your cherry) has not been broken yet, it will likely hurt a little more your first time. i've been told that it hurts a little, but it's easy to get used to, even during that first time once you ease yourself into it. i'd recommend the girl on top position and so you can control the speed and make yourself as comfortable as possible, plus that position provides the most stimulation for females, so even if it hurts, you won't be getting cheated your first time, unlike the guy on top position, which often does not stimulate the clit.

well im thinking about losing my virginity to my boyfriend... but im all about protection and talking about it first... but how do you bring it up? what do i need to know from him? also even if were both virgins... do we need to get HIV/ AIDS/ STD tested? also... whats the best protection to use... and where can i get stuff besides condoms? whats the best brand... and how do you know if im ready?
no dumbass answers please
ill rate 5s if you give good answers (link)
|
"honey, can we talk about something personal?"
even if you're both virgins, it only helps you trust each other to take an std test and be on the safe side. always, always, always use protection. condoms are fine, i've never had a trojan or lifestyles condom break. durex isn't as good. buy the lubricated kind with spermicide. i'd say use condoms for the time being but when you get more experienced, save up some cash and go to planned parenthood for birth control patches. they work great for me and my girlfriend, and you change them every couple weeks. only you will know when you're ready but remember this, if you start having sex, and you don't feel right, do not force yourself to continue. only do it when everything feels right and protection is in place.

ok so theres this guy and he kinda sexual harasses me or w/e this is called. he grabbed my breasts and my butt like so many times nd he snaps my bra straps and all that kind of stuff! i don't kno who 2 tell and what 2 do? pleasee help me (link)
| |
do not be embarassed to tell your principal, guidance counselor, your parents, or an older sibling to have the situation handled immediately. because that is sexual harassment, and you have the right not to put up with it.

what is STD? i have seen people write about it on here and i don't know what it is is it short for aids? or something? (link)
| |
std is short for sexually transmitted disease, which can include aids, but also herpes, gonorrhea, genital warts, and other unpleasant things you can get if you don't use a condom or other protection.
|
|
I just gave my boyfriend head. We didn't use a condom.. He didnt cum or anything, can I still get an STD? (link)
| |
most people don't use a condom when giving head. it is possible to get an std such as oral herpes from it, so have your boyfriend tested to be on the safe side. if the results come back ok, feel free to give him head as much as you (or he) wants, just make sure to use a condom for intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
