More Artists, Less Bands

It's time to Focus more on Artists and Less on Bands . It's very rare nowadays to find a new and fresh real "Band" . Usually It's a hype, a lie, but not a band. Due to abusing and overindulging in the spoils of technology, we are losing are honest natural human quality to share and interact with each other . We don't even give ourselves time to know ourself, for the fear of who we might be (or think we are) . Let alone share our true selves with another, publicly, not behind an anonymous comment on a blog lol (Hi!) etc. . I understand that you may be willing to do this if others were enlightened too, but since this is the way the real world is today, it's folly to step in the way of oncoming traffic...RIGHT? Well don't expect "Bands" to be any different. They are people, just like me and you , suffering from the same Information(TMI) Age trauma, that you and I are suffering from .

They'll get together and "jam", or they may already be Big in another BAND, but are now trying a newer hipper truer SIDE BAND project (probably because the other band is going under) . The truth is, you have more true interaction going on with your colleagues in your office space and/or work place than a band does amongst it's members let alone performing music ( it still doesn't give you the right to put your crappy music on theirstage.com:) . Usually nowadays, a band is made when a bunch of opportunists get together on a non-verbalized goal (so that it still has this spiritual like-mindedness, illusion to it) and play "the sound" (not a sound) they think will have us hooked like we're some crackheads because it's a proven formula . Now, some do not make it as obvious as others, they really experiment with reintroducing "the sound". Many do it subconsciously and we listen subconsciously (many times against our will) .


"The Artist" knows this , and when recording or writing(musically speaking), even uses "the sound(s)" occasionally as a joke to expose them of their bull. Atleast I do (when I can find a place to record) . But not to worry, the Artist is a natural attention seeker almost like an opportunist but the need to give, overides the need to take, in the artist . When that balance is no more , then the artist starts to self destruct as he or she now is loosing their sense of purpose . You will and have, spotted Artists but you will have to also be an artist to efficiently spot one . I believe you have to be honest with yourself , appreciative( but not a slave) of others , always look for yourself in others, seek understanding and wisdom, and be a giver and then you're an artist . You can see why artist struggle, and also with themselves right? To be consistent in these things is a life long struggle . But a beautiful one .
