Unless it sells a few hundred thousand it's just wasted energy unless of coarse you feel proud. If that is the case then you have a big head and need to get over yourself. I'm glad I hate everything I've ever written or recorded.
cause at the very least I know I'm not conceited and a pompous.
By the way you guys can go to itunes to buy my songs and email @yahoo.com
to tell me how great I am........
Just kidding. Yeah I'm just imitating someone here. Talk about desperation. Jeez Louise.... |
Al, Al, Al... where do I even begin?
You think sales equals quality? Funny, I doubt that the Velvet Underground, MC5, Nick Drake, American Music Club, or, for that matter, probably most of the artists I care about, ever sold more than 20,000 "units" of any of their albums in the years in which they were originally released. Then again, to my mind, the terms "Gold" and "Platinum" -- and especially, "Multi-Platinum" (Mariah Carey, anybody?) -- are usually fairly reliable indicators of crap.
Given your influences (gravy n' hamhocks southern rock, Kansas, and 80s lite-metal), there's probably a reason you hate everything you've ever recorded. (But I hope that won't stop you from posting a link to one of your tunes. Go ahead -- rock my world. I dare 'ya.)
Finally, with respect to your contempt for other gearslutters providing links to their own stuff, I'd like to confess that clicking on those links and listening to their music is one of my favorite parts of this forum. Click on an MP3 link and you can find everything from the truly wretched to the surprisingly OK.
