   the common people video that is the old star trek cartoon edited to fir the shatner song is a masterpiece. I thought Pulp was horrible in the 90′s but i became obsessed with common people and this last year and decided to listen to more and turns out there are no other good Pulp songs.

     I can’t give away every single secret! Next you’ll want me to tell people I record three vocals – one hard right, one hard left, one dead center – in tribute to Tupac….

     I get to do a solo at the same time as all other 30 guitarists & it doesn’t sound as good as you might think.

   I’m totally against the whole idea of going cap in hand to write/produce/record music.

   I’m sorry, I believe in working for a living not charity. This may sound harsh but if you can’t afford to do this type of thing then save or use a credit card and pay it back later.

   life is shit sometimes. I would not lower myself into this type of thing. It’s embarrassing. I appreciate some people can play instruments or whatever and don’t know the first thing about recording/producing. Well, tough – either learn the hard way or save.

     I totally hear where you’re coming from & I think in general what you’re saying is right. Here’s the thing though, right now Kickstarter is “hot” in the same way that ten years ago iTunes was hot. Personally, I hate the idea of using my computer to listen to music. I don’t own an MP3 player & the only music on my computer is stuff I’ve recorded or mastered. I generally thing the digital format is inferior to a physical product in every way, especially the ones without digital booklets (which seems to be everyplace except in the Silber shop I made). But to not put your music out to make money in that way when people want it to be available in that way is bad business sense. & right now Kickstarter is kind of at the same place. I don’t agree with a lot of what it’s about, but it is the first thing that’s gotten “regular” people excited about art & music since MySpace took the stage in 2004 or whenever it was & there has been no discovery engine that has been helpful to musicians since 2008. So I am trying to be open minded about it. I had a lot of luck with it with my comics. For me to use it properly would be to say, “Look, I am making a new record. I don’t care if anyone ever hears it besides me. If you want to contribute money so that you can hear it & so that other people can hear it, that’s cool & if not it won’t leave my house & that’s fine too.” I think it’s a natural conclusion to the fact that labels are making less money & have less money to throw out to help develop artists, because projects cost money & time. I think for the past twenty years, the importance of music as a defining & valuable thing to an individual has been declining as other forms of entertainment have risen (video games, DVDs, internet, cell phones, etc) to demand both time & entertainment budget dollars. So I’m all for something that makes people excited about paying money for new music to exist. Even though it does feel like begging.

       in a rather cynical way i think like this…

       its like “man give me some money so you can hear me play one of those lovely american fender telecasters because this squier one i have doesn’t sound as good. help fund me and reap the benefits!!!”
