Subject: RE: Advice to all singer songwriters
It seems that if 90% (or whatever %) of everything is crap, complaining about it is just stupid. You have to listen to a lot of stuff you don't like to find something you do, and then, it can be amazing. It's something that I find worth the effort. If you don't want to risk only infrequently being delighted, go listen to recordings of music you already like and sink into the safe repetitiveness.

You don't get the good stuff without an enormous amount of everything else. You can read that from the point of a listener, or that of someone writing songs. A lot of it is going to be crap. Don't give up.
