Aww, that's too bad Be. Ulcers ain't nuttin good and I don't think you ever let anyone down. But this does bring up an interesting topic which, given the number of artists on these boards, should get some interesting replies.Quote:
all i know is that i gave myself an ulcer...worrying and hoping not to do this very thing to my own fans...
I was wondering how much of an obligation a musician, artist, etc. has to his/her/its fans? How much of an obligation does they have to serve their own artistic ambitions and designs? Should some sort of balance be achieved?
This is why I think there's always been an uneasy tension stemming from selling music. Don't be interesting or artistic, be marketable. This is why I laugh whenever someone points at a band and said "They sold out!" Oh please. In the words of someone else: "All you know about me is what I've sold you,
dumb fuck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, dip shit. And you bought one."
At the same time, I hate how fans get upset at an artist for changing or doing something different. I mean, are they making music for the fans, or music that they're inspired/driven to make, regardless of outside pressures?
Be, in my opinion, if you followed your artistic drives. If the music you made was the music you wanted to make for yourself, not for your fans, not for your record company or anyone else, that's worth respect. And I think that shows in the end result.
Louis 85 said: "The important thing is that the album have more great songs than "filler" songs. And PM Dawn albums don't have too much "filler"." And he's right, that's what sets PM Dawn songs above the rest.
I'll admit, I haven't liked every album PM Dawn released, but what's worth noting is that I'm still here (along with everyone else) and when times get hectic/rough/painful/tense (as they were these last few weeks), guess what cds are finding there way into my cd player? I find myself walking to school listening to "Serenade a Rainbow" and kickass cover of a Beatles song that I like more than the original. 10 years later, I'm here, and so's everyone else.
Anyways, any thoughts or opinions?
oh shit bobble..now youve gone and quoted Louis...like the man needs a bigger head (thats what she said... :rofl: ) :rock:
P.S. thanks for Stewart ya good for nothing... :wink:
Sorry Chief man! The biggest knock against Stewart is his inconsistency. He'll have good games and very bad games.
P.s. Big-headed? Me? Nah. Right or wrong--I'm a humble man. :wink:

I dig the personal anecdote... it's understandably human and sheds light on your dislike of Dylan. So... cool.
But you lost me on the being white and into black music thing.

who's into GOOD music.
back on the subject of seal, i have only just had a decent listen of my copy.. and yes im dissapointed.. the songs on human being for example seemed so quirky and soulful, individual but characteristically seal but these tracks seem like an attempt to fulfil as many styles of song as poss on one cd and quite superficially..
oh well..
there will be more from him.. just that its another 6 years or so down the track ....
:weird:
Tim,
Give it a couple more listens. I had two or three of the tracks grow on me like "Waiting For You" and "Don't Make Me Wait". I will NEVER state that this album is his best work, but I am slowly starting to like it.
