I agree with aaron here. No one said you have to put out all of your music
as something that will be listened to once. I also think it a bit
pretentious to say that putting out something that will be listened to only
once will "scare the hell out of you". Why? Isn't it actually an opportunity
to do something different/experimental? And isn't that kind of what this
music that we all make about? I look at it as a chance to something
different. No more no less.
