I'm a graphic designer, what used to be called a commercial artist. Creating artwork for other people I have to figure out what they want regardless of what I like. This often involves regurgitating someone else's vision or style. Most of the products coming out of corporate America, whether it be design, music, etc, are far from visionary because the artists have so little power and are forced to cater to what the suits think the public wants. In short, the web rocks and I completely agree with you Scotty. It's easier than ever to sift through the crap out there and find inspirational art. In addition, people are sharing how to do things and spreading information, not unlike the days of the Protestant Reformation.

I posted a comment that never went through, so appoligies if this is a double.

I remember when I first read the Albini article. It was published in Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll around ’93 or ’94. One of my bandmates gave me a folded, photocopy version and told me that I must read it.

Within weeks, it seemed that every musician I ran into was talking about it. It was as if we were all exposed for the first time to the possibility that getting a record deal wasn’t all that it’s cracked up to be — like we were all collectively waken from the dream.

You should read the whole article. Here’s a link.

I must also say, Scott, that I loved the pure cynicism of that Steve Albini quote. Albini did a Q&A at a poker bulletin board a while ago that's pretty interesting.
