To keep it all in perspective, we're not talking about another MIles
DAvis, Duke ELlington or the Beatles here. we are talking about
another nobody who will fade into obscurity before the next five yeras
are done.


Yeah but all artists have to eat. And to remain "competitive" (read: sell
enough records to be a viable artist) sooner or later, even if it's not the
artist's choice) those "standards" (read: crappy, brittle mastering) are
foisted on his material as well.
