c'mon, everyone knows gonzi's more interested in the names associated with
the music than the music itself - he even posted that he didn't have
_homogenic_ and he obviously hasn't heard it. it's much easier to make bad
music with a lot of resources (though cylob DOES try damn hard to refute
that), and to say that collaborations are inherently worse musically than
solo work is plain silly. the ol' "nobly suffering artist" cliche does a
lot more damage to the artists who are honored for it than it produces good
music. the fact that artists still have day jobs tend to be reflective of a
lack of marketplace for their work, since presumably they'd prefer to make
music or whatever full-time. bjork's new one makes it a little more
_possible_ that the creepy-nerd solo musicians that people on this list
tend to like can someday enjoy full-time artmaking if that is their desire.
