I was crying this tune a month or so ago. Then I learned to be
really picky about what I buy. There's still good stuff being
produced. And I'm not suggesting it's objective, I'm not suggesting
that there's some particular set of music that is good. I am
suggesting that if you learn what *you* *really* like, and teach
yourself to ignore the stuff that you don't like, you'll be happier.
I'm still teaching myself.

Well, theoretically, yes, the labor theory of value as proposed by
Marx is completely wrong and time does not matter when judging the
value of labor, especially creative labor. However, I wasn't talking
about the amount of time different artists take to create, I was
trying to say that for any one artist, the longer they spend on a
piece, the better tha piece will be. Of course, there's an upper
limit here at which this fails; you can spend *too much* time on a
piece.
However, in general, I stand by the idea that the it takes longer for
any given artist to make a track better than it would be if he spent
less time on it.

>B. This is not Pop music.
Everything is Pop music. Some is just more Pop than others.
Anti-Pop eats itself.
It occurs to me also that anti-elitism quickly becomes yet another
form of elitism. One can never escape.
