Unfortunately music/sound has become looked upon less as a valid form of art...and more as a marketing commodity for an ongoing global popularity contest. In my eyes there has become a hard line drawn between musicians and artists. Music in the name of image or music in the name of art? I agree with Artjom’s sentiments wholeheartedly.

We are talking about a DJ, not a performer of serious music, right? Unless its one of those things where DJs are screwing up the music to the point where its undanceable, (turntablism or whatever the kids are calling it these days) why would anyone want to pay attention to the DJ instead of enjoying the music? Anyway, he can have whatever opinion he wants whether anyone agrees with it or not. Maybe this quote is out of context? I have a bit of trouble sympathizing with this.

In fact, I dreamed Artjom in 1986 and wrote this song by him on this same topic. <!-- Amie Street Mini Player --> If Artjom didn’t exist, we would have had to invent him.

NEWS FLASH: Clubs are SOLELY about copulation. Booze is just the first coat of lubrication, of course. Clubs are not music venues in the sense that they are somehow an arena for musical exploration/contemplation/experimentation. I think the point of what this commenter is trying to get at may have a lot to do with another quote by Frank Zappa: "The manner in which Americans 'consume' music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made." Personally, I think you can substitute the word "Americans" with the idea of "pop-culture folks", as America has become a pathogen all its own - consuming culture and excreting mediocrity. If you are interested in making anything good (music, art, literature, etc.) stay the fuck in your basement. What is popular is wrong.
