Agreed.
I'd like to make music that sells, in theory, but I operate under the assumption that like most musicians, I have little or no commercial potential.
So, I just try to do what I like to hear. The stuff on that myspace page is the most accessible stuff I have done (and it's come a long way since those versions). I figure if I work hard eventually the material may find a bigger audience, and if not, it'll still be something I can be proud of because it is pretty much how I want to be represented. It's not there yet, but I am seeing progress of a kind I have not always had, so I feel like it's the right track.
I've got nothing against emotion, but I think there's a complex relationship between emotion going in from the artist, and what people get out of music, and there's all kinds of emotions aside from the ones prevalent in mainstream pop music, plus other things I value that are also hard to nail down.
