Ex-fuckin-actly. If you're not enjoying playing music, then why bother? Just because you aren't successful doesn't mean you can't still be passionate. If you are neither, then you're just sad... ...and probably very tired. You don't do it for just fame or recognition - just to say that you are an artist. That's setting yourself up for disappointment.YeeHaw my brutha, YeefuckinHaw.... I think you done fingered it out....
Just have fun! If you're not, run away!
I think weird is good, though I personally don't think it's weird at all. It's just that it's very different from what I assume most people are familiar with. Depending on what you've been exposed to and what your mindset is, it might be a bit difficult to access. It's kind of obscure and definitely not for everyone.Hey RZ!
Not everything that is "weird" is as "weird" as you think....
Ya know, you don't have to be out of touch....
A crazee bass-player friend turned me on to this:
Weird? not really. Good? maybe.
Yeah, I know about the Porcupines. Ain't quite the Hypno cup 'o tea, nor is this.I think weird is good, though I personally don't think it's weird at all.

I figured you and a few others wouldn't be thrown-off, but OTOH, I know a lot of people who think that most experimental music is the weirdest shit they've heard. I'm usually surprised when I show a person something obscure and they actually take to it. Doesn't happen often. So by default, I assume that my taste in music is weird to most people. A lot of shit that's weird to others is pretty tame to me.
BTW, Steven Wilson is great. I enjoy many of his projects quite a lot. When he's at his best, it's really something special. And at his worst, he's just boring... ...he has some really slow-burners scattered across his career. He's not a mind-blower... ...just a really good all-rounder.
You'll hear him at his best when he's with his band, Porcupine Tree. I think they have some material that you'd appreciate. In Absentia is very good.

you just gave me my 500th like and i got an awardHello Mach!
Haha, fair 'nuff.Yeah, I know about the Porcupines. Ain't quite the Hypno cup 'o tea, nor is this.
But it don't suck.
Not suck is good...
Yes. Now that is weird! Very interesting. Really not sure what to think. I'll definitely be coming back to that one when I'm in a different frame of mind.Right up your alley, RZ.
Listen. Hard.
That's me most days. I don't usually listen to stuff like that at all. Can't stand Venetian Snares. It was just something I randomly jumped to on youtube one day.@robot zombie yeah man i saw that in the related videos while i was trying to find that igorrr/algorithm track. its pretty good too. i dont really follow the genre or artists too closely, but ruby my dear is a good find. this music really hits the spot for me sometimes, but for some reason today its not working.
Hey there mach!ne,@robot zombie yeah man i saw that in the related videos while i was trying to find that igorrr/algorithm track. its pretty good too. i dont really follow the genre or artists too closely, but ruby my dear is a good find. this music really hits the spot for me sometimes, but for some reason today its not working. im having one of those days where nothing is smooth. i couldnt even make claptons using a spool tamer (which virtually does it for you)
got to take a couple deep breaths and listen to something a bit calmer i think...but still with a bit of an edge on it lol. i think i have posted tracks from both of these here before, so sorry for the repeats. to make up for it, here are the full albums lol
