I pretty much agree with the article, however much
I may like the music. However, it's really weak to
quote an artist who's carrying out his own prediction.
It's like me saying "in the future men will wear skirts"
and then I start wearing skirts.
Momus has recently found 30 people willing to pay $1000
each to be canonized on his next record--30 songs, each
2 minutes long, about each of the donors. So Momus is
basically becoming famous for 30 people (except for the
already famous donors, like Cornelius). Nothing bad about
Momus, it's an ingenious idea, just a dubious choice of
quotes to sum up an article.
