Mine also lives in another country but I'll be going out there.
Borders are the perfect solution for girlfriends, I always find.

I was @ her house for 3 weeks recently..
Obviously didnt get ANYTHING done, felt tempted to install some software, mind.
Or usually im in the middle of a tune, and i know i'm supposed to
BE there, and she's ringing off my phone sumthin frantic wondering where i am.
ERGO -
Dont have a girlfriend if your serious about music lol.

i had 2 girlfriends.... the first we broke up almost immidiatly ... cause she didnt rly understand my passion and thats music. and the 2nd knew what i liked and shit. She was always excited to hear something new. It could work inspiring but it can also form as a writersblock

To be fair, mine
sings like a pro and is no stranger to weird electronic music. Not so into dubstep though...

fact is making music is a loner's occupation
can't concentrate on programming synths when your missus is rattling on about her mates/tv/going out for dinner and blah blah blah
been living with mine for two years now and my music stuff gets done between 6pm (when i get back form work) and 7.30 (when she gets back from work)
all the guilt trip biznizz of sitting on your own with a pair of headphones and a laptop grinds you down!!

i think its a home musician with live-in-missus's eternal battle
make music or have sex.........
ideally one week a bit more of one, next week more of the other... unfortunately dont work like that!

I have given up on realtionships in order to make the best music I can.
it's one or the other, and in most cases, the relationship isnt going to work out.
Chicks dig dj / producers, so you are safe in that dept.
My synth and my turntables are my true love. Never cheated on me
oh yeah...
if you get lonely...
you might wanna get a cat.

I live with mine.
I found it was too much to have a job, a girlfriend, do some djing + computer music + graphic design so I had to choose.
I've now 35 hours more per week for music and stuff
Oh and btw, before living with your girlfriend make sure she can handle the bass all day long.
Mine doesn't even mind some breakcore

I have been married, divorced, and had 2 very long relationships all end BECAUSE i will not compromise my music production time. I can say that I don't see myself with a girlfriend for a looooooooooooong time.

werd. also going through a divorce.
No compromising! Only perfect 10s from here on in.
IMO (now) If a girl doesn't support and encourage your expression and art, then wtf - that's the same as not supporting and encouraging you on a personal level, as the beats we make are reflections of our selves.
Right now, I don't think I could see anyone that I didn't meet through dubstep somehow (!). That's pretty bad. haha. I'm going to be alone forever. Well, you know, swinging aside.
