so later on the word of mouth is plastered across billboards and *ehem* mailing lists... we all hear about it, the music loses it's quality overnight, and suddenly the artist has no motivation but sales. then we listen for a few months more, realize it wasn't that great to begin with, rebel against the newfound 'genres', and move along quietly. (like in the old days) wait wait, I mustnt use 'we' - that would imply a plurality in the individuals liking. someone other than the direct artist - to - listener link. the same as any reviews, telling you what to think. how mainstream! paul roquet bravopop@mother.com . http://www.mother.com/~bravopop .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in the way - on the way - by the way - out of the way
