I think the comments and user activity will ebb and flow randomly from week to week, regardless of the quality of the music. such is life.

^this.  Shits going down in the world like spring break and natural disasters Yaknow??

The site constantly crashes my browser but I listen as much as time permits. There's some interesting stuff happening.

How strange. What browser and OS are you using?
You could also just download the weekly torrent and listen from there!

Another thing I've noticed is that only people involved in Weekly Beats are able to comment on the tracks each week.  Perhaps allowing guests to comment will bring some fresh, outside voices and also help promote Weekly Beats in general. 

All in all, I like Weekly Beats because it gives me a reason to write music week to week, and I like the forums, but as far as getting Constructive Criticism on my tracks, if want to get suggestions on my track, I usually just run it past my friends when they're at my house and will sometimes even work on the track while they're there.  In 8 years of posting music on the internet, this is the only way I've been able to get good constructive criticism from anyone.

hmm. no one is talking about week 10.. wtf. Also. im very disappointed that no one commented on my track. I know it was disjointed and overcomplicated.. but come on

I've been feeling a slight malaise about WeeklyBeats.  Regardless of how much input you give other people, or how much work you put in to your track it's seemed as though people just stopped caring about giving CC or commenting.  What happened to the tracks that used to get like 20-30 comments?  We're petering off at around 15 for the most commented songs these last few weeks, and it's absurd.  The music on this site is so good.  The fuck!

I'll be in the IRC this sunday at the release time. I hope to see some of you.

I'd be there too, but I'll be playing my song live at release time

I completely missed last week due to being stranded in a town with a population of 200 and no internet for 8 days while working on a movie

that sounds like heaven

I would just like to make it known, that it was not heaven, haha.  I was supposed to be there for a month, but I was lured down there under false pretenses, so I left after a week.  However, I did get to spend 4 hours on a bus with an Austrian Motorcycle Mechanic named Ryker and a Tibetan Monk after hitching a ride to Nashville with a guy I just met named Michelob and crashing on his couch for a night.  It was a weird trip.
