maybe i should make a kickstarter or something. hey, it's worth a shot - i'd reflexively have to project it as a joke, in character...but, it's really not all that improbable that it might get me from project to project, if i can put the proper level of eccentricity into it.

the music business is morphing into some other kind of economy altogether. the idea of purchasing music is just kind of becoming out of date. listen, there was a time before music existed for sale in the form of media. it was always likely that a time would come after this, as well.

and, what is the media? it's a product. so, the product is shifting. that is all.

i think the future of this is still a little unclear. could we go back to the days of wealthy benefactors supporting eccentric artists? it might increase the level of discourse. substantially. but, then you need to deal with, like, rupert murdoch in total control of all art in the universe. it may dilute the pool a little, but artistic freedom is totally valuable.

maybe it's a kind of project-auction setup. i mean, if i make it a crazy enough idea, it might just be so crazy that it might work. bwahahaha. ahahaha. (that's an evil laugh, of course mocking of myself, because i'm arrogant enough to value mocking myself, because i enjoy pretending i'm arrogant enough to pretend i value mocking myself, because i enjoy mocking myself, because i'm arrogant enough to ... )
