An Australian radio station had a "send in your demo" contest and I found a whole pile of the demo CD's thrown out in the trash. Geez, how disrespectful to the contributors, but it was a treasure trove to listen to. Actually I felt a little bad peeping into someone's life without permission. I love demos because you can sense the creative urge even though it often comes out pretty bad. This is the spirit of music, not the highly polished genre-conforming stuff that is most people's idea of music. Its easy to criticize music, but in my opinion its too often an opportunity to put someone down. Don't ask for someone's opinion, they aren't helping you make better music.
