When you (abstract) start talking about how vinyl is on it's death-bed or predict it's demise AGAIN I find it too ridiculous to let stand. That opinion is really annoying and flies in the face of fact. > I'm interested in your 'it's not just for the consumer' idea though. > While I can see what you mean to an extent I think it needs to be > balanced with just those very consumer orientated imperatives that that > sort of idea seems to eschew. Or else what are you doing what you're > doing for? Art with no audience? If it's recorded then there is a medium, and vinyl is hardly an out-of-reach medium. So there is an available audience. But to humor your question, YES. Artists do not do what they do for the sake of the audience. Most of them anyway. Alienating the audience is not a concern. If the artists stops making their art in a way that is fulfilling for them...what happens? Don't you think that's pretty important?
