"Is anyone likely to take on board Conrad's manifesto, and shit in a hedge with 30 other people in order to listen to a bloke who lives down the road? Nope."

Yeah, I would actually. But only if you took shitting in the hedge outa the equation. Nuh, uh! Too many dodgy piles of 'leaves' after the end of the week for my liking..

The biggest problem I have with Conrad's postings is the bombast, the irrational hating on pro. artists (who as far as I can tell barely scrape a living and only do it for the love of sharing the music itself), and the absence of detailed practical advice for anyone wanting to emulate his supposed example.
