Aren't you the guy who was only yesterday trying to get us to listen to your tracks on mp3.com by boasting about a collaboration with lex? I see you made 5 bux, kudos. Don't spend it all in one place ok? And aren't you the same guy who sweating him just a few months ago to figure out his techniques? Yesterday he was a genius and today he's exciting as a saltine cracker and appeals only to fanboys. So what does this make you Brad? I guess those of us who saw your shows together can draw our own conclusions. >> Just the facts, ma'am. My mp3 site is strictly for fun. Alex and i did a couple of tracks together. i put up stuff at mp3.com that I don't take too seriously, which includes what i did w/ him. I make PLENTY of money doing other things with music that has nothing to do with alex or kid or mp3.com. It would be pathetic if i actually thought i could make money with that stuff.. As a musician i try to learn as much as i can from everybody that i collaborate with, even if it's how NOT to do things. I learnt quite a bit from alex, and the same can probably be said for him. Our shows together were total bullshit because the guy doesn't understand the idea of live improvisation. It could only be crap if he's playing his fully produced and mixed songs ( whilst pretending to "do" things) and i'm trying to add something on top.. an impossible way of doing a good show..alex is not meant to do collaborations and that's why it was dogshit, he doesn't need anybody adding anything to what he does.

sour grapes, gonzi. actually kid has press agents to pimp his music for him ( leaving him plenty of time for music) and they in turn have an easy job of it beacuse he genuinely is an interesting subject for journalists, being the multi-faceted, irreverant, industrious and talented kid that he is and your pal isn't.
