maybe i don't get the point of being a musician because i feel super ashamed to even attempt any element of press or goodwill to a listener

I never hype as I assume no one gives a shit, and because when people hype their own stuff it tends to make me give less of a shit about them

Yea but you seriously dont want us to fuck off, cause then youd never post it. Sometimes acclaim isn't unsolicited or inorganic.

It's fun figuring out new ways to insert "debut album being released on 6-19" into things.
Oh hey, now's a good time: debut album being released on 6-19.

yeah. I've felt its a necessary evil, though. Alec Empire said it best, something to the effect of. "The age of digital music is like a phone book. Everyone's listed, but you're not going to randomly call someone in the phone book."

No reason to feel bad about making your work known and available. I can see feeling weird about "OMG my new shit is the fuckin bomb yo, all youse guys are weaksauce!" ... and you should.
I think the difference is between having actual pride in your work versus wanting a free handy. Accept which side you're on and OWN THAT SHIT.

i like this. it reminds of being in high school and listening to a bunch of msi, they were always talking about being the shit and then denying it and alienating there audience at the same time. not that this is the same but still. but i guess i feel like expressing that you want people to fuck off and hyping your stuff attracts the same thing , which is attention. i dont mind either.
