I am a broke person, so helping other bands with money is hard, but I try to do it by sharing your sounds, sounds of all the bands I enjoy, needles to say. I am with you on this, that if everyone did something, took action, in any form, all kinds of changes can happen. Although, just like anything else, the distraction we all have, is too much, I would think is in the way of art, we all have ways to express, is pretty easy now days, so it seems, that people perhaps, grow out of it, like you mentioned it, but not just that, there is so much art now days, that is hard to focus on a single image, or band, song, etc. If you think about it, there are millions of bands, out here that want, need, or would love help, but people's life's are more full of problems, that not many really want to bother, about someone else's problems. You see my point. I am not just speaking form my self, but, I personally get overwhelm with so many bands, but, that has not stopped me from sharing the music with more people, now, if I made time for each band, or some, per say, than I would not have much time for myself. I spend about an hour promoting indie bands, the reason, I love music, and I do believe in helping out bands, by promoting, or spreading the word about the band. Now what others do with the info I passed on, is up to them. The truth of the matter is that as we get older, we are more aware of what really matters, and entertainment in the end is the drug of life, but not a priority to survive. I understand it contradicts itself because it is what makes people happy and therefore is part of survival. <br />You guys create joy, is sad that bands don't get paid for all the efforts, I agree that it is a job. But where money exists, problems with it as well.<br />We have become multitask-ers online, in our daily life, in many things, we seem to have become almost like jugglers, trying to manage many things, at once; for instance, jobs, hobbies, play, time, family, friends, sex, lol, and so on. People continue to get distracted by personal issues, life in general, when one grows, we move on on to a next stage of our lives, but is a small world so we linger around the same people for life. I would say, that music, art, will become more of a bobbie in the future, sad to think of that, but I want to believe otherwise as well. The only problem with not been able to play as much is money, that is useless but yet like the drug again, we have to have to survive. A false hope, or way of living is what it is! The economy's problems are not invisible to anybody. Although, the support and life never stops, so life keeps going and we all go with it. Keep up the great work, things happen when there is action, ...I know there will be more fans to come.<br />Great music is always recognize, one can not hide a precious piece of art.<br />Your music makes me happy!!!<br />Best wishes!<br />~lettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657556200713698085.post-9887191964787180172010-07-26T17:10:48.664-05:002010-07-26T17:10:48.664-05:00Outstanding.

Indeed = "Perhaps this is the reason a lot of musicians work as bartenders?" <br /><br />We know you love technology, C, but it may be cause for the glut of artists out there squeezing into the scene. People with worse ideas than yours, worse attitudes than yours, are making it b/c there's more money behind them. (Gaga anyone?) So there's the problem. But your new paradigm is doable nonetheless, but only by a conscious effort of any artist's fan base to recognize the power of its input (financial & otherwise) . . .which is exactly what you said!<br /><br />Love it, man. Keep going.JThttp://www.oberata.comnoreply@blogger.com
