It is the same for authors. <br /><br />The problem is that while there are gems, there are a lot of musical acts that, while worth seeing in a bar, just aren't that good. And there certainly are a lot of self published authors who are terrible. So how does one separate the stuff worth listening to from the stuff that isn't? <br /><br />I certainly like your taste so I appreciate you filtering stuff and posting here. I also have a lot of friends who like to drag me out to the bar even when I don't feel like it so I am exposed to a lot of music that way too. But ultimately, I know that there is a whole lot of good music that I never get to hear just because it doesn't happen to cross my path.NoNamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525122106635914532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-49697938692782408612011-12-03T21:07:02.340-08:002011-12-03T21:07:02.340-08:00Well, if you're talking about a Celtic band, y...Well, if you're talking about a Celtic band, yeah, that's sorta a limited audience. But Devics always had a wider appeal. Well, should have. Apparently didn't :(.<br /><br />- Badtux the Baffled PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-63030603943736470912011-12-03T20:49:24.787-08:002011-12-03T20:49:24.787-08:00I just got home from seeing a really fun band (Tar...I just got home from seeing a really fun band (<a href="http://www.tartanterrors.com/" rel="nofollow">Tartan Terrors</a>) so I got home and looked them up on youtube and their most popular video has under 20k and most of the others are under 5k. *shrug* But they aren't a local band so someone had to have appreciated them and booked them for the festival/event I attended.NoNamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525122106635914532noreply@blogger.com
