Re: [microsound] (ot) (Slightly) Politics + electronic Music

"""This statement strikes me as very dubious. I don't see the point of
generalizing about traditional vs. microsound and their attendant egos. I've
met and seen perform folks in both categories, and I've found there are
assholes in each camp, as well as geniuses, not to mention the generally
nice person or two. Sometimes a little bit if each in a single person,
too!""""

""Yes your right.  In retrospect it sounds pretty horrible.  I was comparing
it more to mainstream/ mass consumer music, not  traditional music in
general.  I didnt
mean to imply that traditional musicians are ego'ist's.  Just a little foot
in the mouth syndrome is all, sorry bout dat.:)"""



That not nice making me admit my stupidity twice:)   I do think there is a
difference on average between some superstars like eminem,  Britney and the
like who are pampered and constantly generating money.  Not too generalize
but its easier to become someone driven by profits, and x amount of units
sold when you reach that sort of superstardom.
