I think sometimes I get overly excited about adding things and having new ideas. You forget that more isn't always better.
Ed DrosteIt is definitely much easier to feel that an album is disposable - to dismiss an album or delete the tracks you don't like or to just throw it into shuffle or whatever.
Ed DrosteIt seems to be really trendy to get excited about a random-ass radio song. Which, I like radio songs, don't get me wrong. But I'm just confused at which ones seem to be heralded as some sort of genius-like concoction. It doesn't totally make sense to me.
Ed DrosteI guess everyone has their own definition of what folk is or pop or whatever. I find it incredibly hard to describe music these days.
Ed DrosteI would never be angry at someone for downloading the album. Sometimes people just wanna listen to it first to see if they like it and that's totally fair.
Ed DrosteI feel like a lot of the stuff coming out right now just feels really inauthentic to me. But apparently, people don't seem to see through it. And this makes me sound bitter, but it's just my perspective. I'm not bitter. I just feel like there's a lot of stuff that doesn't feel like it's coming from a place of any sort of integrity. It just doesn't feel like it's coming from the heart, basically. It just feels like it's being produced because people know it's a formula that will work, or it's easily digestible and fun to look at.
