Same could be said of your stuff.

Uh huh. Frantic and chaotic free jazz is dull. Right.

Second time I listened to that (recently) I was not quite as impressed as I was the first time.

Can't hate on someone just because they are prolific. He reminds me of Stephen King. Dude wakes up everyday with the need to write something. Does he put out some stuff that's crap? Sure. But plenty of diamonds in the rough.

Yeah but does King release his scribbled notes, character sketches, plot ideas every time he has them?

This I'd probably agree with. If all of his music was of the quality of Epicloud (yeah yeah I know: didn't I ask you to go play on the runway? Why are you still here?) I wouldn't mind. It's just that the stuff I've heard (literally called Stuff) has been pretty low quality and a lot of it sounds like rough demo, which is probably is. I really don't want to be listening to that. I sure wouldn't pay for it. I don't know anyone else who does this?

Whether you think that or not, at least Frown doesn't release all his ****ing demos, ideas, half-thought-out songs and noodlings on special edition albums. Do you? I can't believe I'm defending you. What kind of crazy mixed-up dimension have I stumbled into THIS time, Professor? :yikes:

I love how often threads get derailed by talking about my music, I don't even kick off the convo half of the time.

And the real irony is that it was the one who hates your music the most who started it! :rofl: Oh, Chula! The monster you have created has turned upon ye!

It's why I maintain that he's a secret fan who is too intimidated by my greatness to admit it.

He does seem uncomfortably obsessed with it....

I just dislike his pompous "If I don't dig it it must be ****" attitude.

Have you actually listened to Frown's "music"? I'd wager the majority of the **** he puts out is made up on the spot with almost no forethought whatsoever.

LOL. I'm going to run out and buy a harmonica. Then I'm going to download a drum loop and record myself "playing the harmonica" (which I can't) over it. I might even add some accent drones to spice things up as well as a random splash cymbal hit.

I'm going to call it "Free Reed Experimental Jazz Swamp".

:rofl:

Frowny, put out something like this and then we can talk.
