Fun Stuff > BAND
Bands not allowed time to mature. Sort of.
Johnny C:
there is a difference between A) making music for an imagined audience that does or does not exist and B) craving the approval of an audience. you can do one without the other.
most people make music for audiences similar to themselves but a few aren't happy with that and turn into rivers cuomo circa now. guess which one is better to be. yeah it's the first one.
Thrillho:
There's also a difference between a) making music for an imagined audience and b) not caring whatsoever if no-one else in the whole world hears it.

I agree with War Machine here, really. If you post that song on the internet and/or you have friends to play the song to, the song's popularity will grow. If it's an amazing song, its popularity will snowball. There are way too many people on the internet to believe that a truly great song will not be heard by anybody. And, since music is a very social art-form, it's hard to believe that the few people who hear this incredible song will not tell anybody about it.
The music-posting medium on the internet I'm thinking of is MySpace, which has more people in it than the phone book. Obviously, there are smaller websites with much less exposure than MySpace, but logic dictates that if someone wants to post their song on the internet, they want some form of exposure, so they'll choose a site with a lot of exposure. MySpace, Last.fm, iMeem, etc.

If you don't care whether or not anyone listens to your music you are probably making pretty terrible music anyway so who cares about those people.

And also a difference between a) making music professionally and full time and b) making music on the side while everyone works part time jobs because they cant get any form of financing for the band and who the fuck wants to be a starving musician or starving anything for that matter.
