Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

UPON FURTHER REVIEW:

After a few communications with marcstedman, I found that although we can't all agree on the system, that he is doing his best (and brilliantly) to keep this as fair as possible. Just like in everyday life, lots of good and fairness has to be sacrificed to keep everything in line and as fair as possible. Not to mention, there's probably a lot of things to consider that we know nothing about, nor would we understand.

His quick responses, especially the one that we got when I posted the possible cheating system, (as it was fixed within hours), has gained MY TRUST in him. Maybe not fully in Music Nation it self (as I am yet to hear from them on any topic), but in the overall system provided by marcstedman himself! He obviously has nothing to fear by responding, and THAT I HAVE TO RESPECT, as well as MARCSTEDMAN himself.

Overall, he has provided a system that allows us to show our art, and a way for us to possibly collaborate with one another, and THAT IS THE REAL SHIT!

I'm am not bowing down to anything, I am just calling it as I can possibly see it best. I think that marcstedman IS ON OUR SIDE!

Love always, LSD

I THINK THAT EVERYONE WHO IS A MEMBER OF MuiscNation, has EARNED an explaNATION or at least an idea of how your competitions work.

There are many of us who fully support M.N and the artists here. I personally have given my all in bringing in traffic and members to support myself as well as this site. But there's a lot LOT of us who don't understand how on the last day, that most of the top 20 artists, were artists that DID NOT have an impact throughout the SPIN HOT PURSUIT comepetition, and were TOTALLY under the radar all of a sudden were the top 20 voted. Also, it is very peculiar how with the exception of about 6 artists, they all resemble the same genre or sound (if you will), as the 4 picked by MN to advance.

I've never gotten a response from MN YET, and I truly don't expect to get an answer. But please know that along with these topics, it makes you look even more GUILTY of being unfair as far as the outcome of this, and some of the other competitions hosted by Music Nation.

This public message to MN, in NO WAY, SHAPE, or FORM is meant to take ANYTHING away from the advancing artists. I TOTALLY find them to be incredible. I am in NO WAY questioning their credibility, but I AM questioning the credibility of HOW THIS COMPETITON is run, and WHOEVER runs it. LIKE I SAID, we have EARNED the right to know, and I would think that you would not want to leave a bad taste in the mouths of your supporters. You KNOW as well as I do, that I AM NOT ALONE in these thoughts and questions, it's just a matter of trying to have faith in what we support, and / or having the balls to question you.

SINcerely, LSD.

"LIFE IS A JOURNEY"



Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life



The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges>


Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take.
In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles
Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time


Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache.
How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like



When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations

We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned



Time stops for no one, and if we allow ourselves to focus on the negative we might miss out on some really amazing things that life has to offer.
We can't go back to the past, we can only take the lessons that we have learned and the experiences that we have gained from it and move on

It is because of the heartaches, as well as the hardships, that in the end help to make us a stronger person



The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role.
Some may stay for a lifetime; others may only stay for a short while




It is often the people who stay for only a short time that end up making a lasting impression not only in our lives, but in our hearts as well. Although we may not realize it at the time, they will make a difference and change our lives in a way we never could imagine.
To think that one person can have such a profound affect on your life forever is truly a blessing

It is because of these encounters that we learn some of life's best lessons and sometimes we even learn a little bit about ourselves



People will come and go into our lives quickly, but sometimes we are lucky to meet that one special person that will stay in our hearts forever no matter what

Even though we may not always end up being with that person and they may not always stay in our life for as long as we like, the lessons that we have learned from them and the experiences that we have gained from meeting that person, will stay with us forever




It's these things that will give us strength to continue on with our journey

We know that we can always look back on those times of our past and know that because of that one individual, we are who we are and we can remember the wonderful moments that we have shared with that person



Memories are priceless treasures that we can cherish forever in our hearts. They also enables us to continue on with our journey for whatever life has in store for us.
Sometimes all it takes is one special person to help us look inside ourselves and find a whole different person that we never knew existed

Our eyes are suddenly opened to a world we never knew existed- a world where time is so precious and moments never seem to last long enough




Throughout this adventure, people will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right. Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets.

Don't hold anything back

Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don't get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around



It is often said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. It all depends on how one defines the word "strong" It can have different meanings to different people.

In this sense, "stronger" means looking back at the person you were and comparing it to the person you have become today

It also means looking deep into your soul and realizing that the person you are today couldn't exist if it weren't for the things that have happened in the past or for the people that you have met
Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and sometimes that means we must face heartaches in order to experience joy~

Go slow & enjoy life's journey.....



Enjoy the moment, it's a gift!!!

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!!!
