However the burden of blame in instances such as that goes equally on the audience. You can't really blame the performers all the time for a boring audience of art snobs who just sit there and stroke their chins. Just cause they refrain from the joys of moving, doesn't mean it is the laptop folks problem.

But of those three, Blectum was the only one to show general sound abilities during their set. The other two just danced and sang on top of prerecorded music. While perhaps a skill in itself, not really a musical/sound one at all. (Not to mention that Gold Chains was just full on awful lyrically. C'mon, even Silk the Shocker or Vanilla Ice can put together a better rhyme.) Just because one can be silly and have a bit of personality doesn't mean they are good musically. While I fully enjoyed Cex, I didn't feel any desire to pick up his CD following. and mr. Cex said:

Funny, you tour with folks that do just that. ....??? But still, I think we need to shift the blame from the sound makers to the sound listeners. Ain't there fault the so-called "fans" just sit there like bumps on a log. Sigh. Dull folk indeed. Me. --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J. Tar W. W. J. D? (What would Jason Do?)
