Welcome to http://www.thedemopage.com and for those of you just wondering who and what we are, we are a site still in developement and are here to provide free resources. There is a lot going on and hopefully the site will prove to be invaluble to many people including unsigned artists.

Or that was the original twist on the site. Over the last few months, developement on the site has taken a new turn with new functionality added and this has made the site more diverse.

- We took a shine to this tool and all files you uploaded can be used on other sites with this tool. It's an RSS Feed in flash format and can be used anywhere to show your material. You can even email it. This tool also means that people don't have to visit your webpage now as it contains all information you upload and is kept uptodate automatically.
You can even put it on a cd and provided you have link to the internet this will show your stuff.

- You will also get your own URL for easy access. It's not perfect but it works and you can also link to all your files with this url.

We are trying to preserve file formats as ,so unlike other sites which recode your files when uploading and the quality is lost, we just leave it as it is.

If you want to look at some example pages then Visit our test site or Hazzadj We also have a free downloads sections where you can look through hundreds of images, beats, samples and if you find any copyright infringments then simply use the block/illgeal option. This will be removed from all listings for further investigation. - click Download at the menu.

(by administer we mean delete/amend).

And don't forget... all files will be checked so please, no material of an offensive nature.

Recently I came across the strangest acoustic-electric "Jansen" guitar in a Baghdad bazaar and had to buy it...at USD $30, who could resist? It's a curious Ovation/Applause knock-off, and other than the cheap plastic soundhole rosette, the other bits...bridge, fretboard, neck, machine heads, etc...are not bad quality at all. Installed a set of d'Addario extra-light phosphor-bronze strings and now she sings like an orgasmic angel!

I'm thinking some Chinese guitar maker just skimmed some extra parts from their licensed brand-name inventory for the thing and then slapped the defunct Jansen name on it, using the company's recognizable name without any risk of legal action. There's no way it could be a Jansen--the Ovation style debuted long after Jansen broke up, yeah? What do you think fellas? Photos available upon request. The serial number is MFG9710EQ/BK.

Hi.
My son was recently given a Jansen Jazzman - it has cleaned up nicely and seems to be very original except for 3 added pick-up switches which I thought were original until I looked under the pickguard and saw the extra routing - from the limited info on the web I would guess at about 1963-64 as it came with a 1962 Jaguar style Simpson string damper - it has the original Simpson whammy and Kluson Deluxe tuners with pre-1964 script - I am happy to send photos - I would like to know if the pick-up adjusters originally had springs because this one has little rubber pads on neck (black and probably replacements) the old bunsen burner tube red rubber on the middle and nothing on the bridge which was wound right up to stop it rattling -it sounds very nice and the original pick-up toggle switch givers the switched pick-up extra grunt.
Cheers

To put things very simply. If you have two students, and one is significantly better than the other, but you give all props and resources to the worse student;

1 the better student is going to start questioning their own judgement

2 they will give up

Putting the promotion of nationalism and political interference ahead of the nurturing of talent will promote nationalism and a stronger sense of political identity.

Within the competitive environment. Will introducing a greater number of lesser accolades enhance the race for the top prize?

perhaps.

depending on the assessment criteria.

If the criteria to win lesser accolades conflicts with the criteria to achieve the highest accolade, will the competition be enhanced?

If a government is willing to introduce policy to interfere with a cultural field regardless of the tastes of the majority at the time of introduction. Then what are the underlying motives?

Why do we want to see more of New Zealand on Air?

If New Zealand on air was established to overcome the cultural cringe, is the underlying psychological 'cringe' condition in anyway related to the inability of certain NZOA members to consistently select music featuring the New Zealand accent?

Should NZOA panelists be tested for the cringe and If they suffer from the cringe, should they be disbarred?

yep- its good alright- but vinyl still shits all over it
