please, define "mainstream" in the context of experimental.

what is this mission? the finest art of the land? what is this mission?
sorry, seriously, tell us about the mission, as I stated it sounded actually
good before. I just hate speaking about something i don't know about, but
really is this a mission for art's sake? or for individual's sake?

yes, that was in response to Xdugef's post. The Coup is a fav so that song
came to mind.

nope! i love Coil, Fassbinder, Burroughs, Ginsberg... as I stated, I don't
care. It only becomes shallow when you identify only with that and use that
as a crutch. And that goes every way.

as i stated, it was my opinion. nothing more, I usually don't enjoy
gay-centric art, OFTEN(not always or with all works) the art suffers or does
not connect with a non gay, and the later, i doubt the artist would say that
was a problem.

? as i stated, why would i care? and why would they're sexual preference
matter or be of concern to the listener unless that was the artist's intent.
My point, again, was why is this needed since so many artists in this field
are gay? did you read?

why? i hate jocks and frat boys with swimsuit models on cars on their walls
that are so shallow they only think with their dick, reverse that, same
males different preference. no difference.

my position is and was I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT WHO YOU FUCK!
I will not bias it one way or the other, but if i don't like it, well i
don't, why are you trying to please me so HARD? what is with this
segregation you preach?
