I'd just be happy to keep my day job and play at local weeklies or something every once in a while, maybe have 20 something close fans that enjoy my shit. I also think it'd be really cool to have a viral thing on youtube or something, or maybe be like one of those pretentious indie fuckfaces that gets up on kickstarter and asks for 10 grand to make a new album and ends up with a million.

I don't know why everyone is so focused on getting huge and being one of those globe touring acts, it is such an unrealistic dream. Just to make shit that other people enjoy is the first thing you should focus your efforts on. My shit is terrible and nobody likes it and I couldn't play that shit in real life in front of people without feeling intense shame. I know full well this silly hobby isn't taking my ass anywhere, it is just a fun thing to do and it would be kind of cool if I got good enough for others to like it.

for me it was a make money or starve situation. I guess i put all my eggs in one basket.

how it is living with a chunk of bread every week?

i'm in the highest tax bracket. Granted unlike you , i can do more than mix a few loops together and slam an L2. I bet i made more from music when I was 16 than you currently make now. There is lots of money to be made. You just have to not suck. I guess perhaps work on that end.

Not sure which century you're living in, but this is 2013 and lots of people who suck are making a shitload of money.

It's not really just luck though. Guetta makes the worst drivel in the world (he even won a grammy for changing two notes on a coldplay piano melody) and so does SHM and the rest of that heinous ilk, but one thing I'll say for most of them, they actually work hard and put in the effort. Having said that when someone pays you $100k to scratch your fat Scandinavian belly while fist pumping behind the decks for 2 hours, it's not that hard to get motivated or at least delegate the boring shit (like mixing) to an assistant.

What I'm trying to say is that it takes a lot of work to suck that hard and get paid what they do. For instance, they suck a lot harder than you do, but they're making 7, even 8 figures a year, yet youre making low 6 figures. The ratio of talent to suckage vs money is not linear or even a direct correlation.
