Track of the Day [yeehaw]

I've been doing the GarageBand thing for a while now - that's the online indie music community, not the Apple DAW app of the same name. They agreed a while back to share the name, like nice folks do. Anyway, I've been posting tracks for a while, and the general consensus is, "Hey, this is kinda cool: well mixed, funky, but you know what? It's kinda boring too, dude."

Still, I've managed to get the coveted Track of the Day designation a couple of times. This is where they highlight your track in its given genre for 24 hours. My next one is on 23 April, for an experimental track called ModoKun3. (The title involves Japanese advertising, bootleg merchandise, and the iteration of the work that this mix represents. Or something.)

Now, this track only has a handful of reviews, and doesn't as yet have an aggregate score, so this is sort of strange. This has happened twice lately - another one of my tracks got TOTD, with very few reviews under its little belt. The frequency of my tracks being reviews has also slowed to a crawl. Those facts taken together lead me to believe that the GB scene is getting a little weak. Has everyone defected to MySpace, where no one will ever tell you that your hi-hats are too loud or that your ambient beatscape needs a stronger melody?

They will, however, tell you that they found this awesome website with all these free ringtones, dawg!
