Music Head Wrote:you've brought this up several times
deserves a response
were I not a moderator on this site I might agree
as a moderator I feel a responsibility to bring new music to the site
I don't like most new music
as I go through the motions of making the post including listening to the full track
I feel I'm entitled to at least say what I think about it
give me some credit for listening to this garbage
you can never say that I am stuck in the past
maybe with what I like but not with what I listen to
I've always preferred to listen to something I've never heard over something I already know
First off, it's not unknown or unethical for a Board moderator to create an alter-ego to talk about stuff that a moderator can't or won't talk about. Second, nowhere did I suggest bypassing new music; I only ask that you focus more on new music you find worthy. It's dead easy to decry crap--the trick is finding new artists or new doin's by established artists of merit *. Reading other commenters on other sites can relieve you of the burden of having to listen to more than 8 bars of the meretricious drivel we agree is overwhelming pop/rock/country music. I am not saying never be negative--perhaps you have a different POV on a piece others find good or vice versa. Then of course you have an obligation to discuss (not an obligation to anyone but yourself). But to be just another rock-thrower defeats the purpose and in a sense demeans you. This Board is leagues better than anything similar...I looked hard, and that's why I'm here and bringing this impassioned plea. I won't STFU but I will tone it down considerably.
* I was most pleasantly surprised recently by an artist I'd previously dismissed as being merely pandering, and said so loudly here--Lady GaGa.
A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
