How do we let people pay for music?

I feel like I've gotten to the point in my career and in my life where I can allow myself to write whatever comes into my head and not judge it too harshly.

Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.

Bands like Nirvana had theatrical sensibilities, playing with image, challenging assumptions people were making about them, the apex being Kurt Cobain in a dress to make a point.

I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.

It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
