you know what I'm gonna say so I'm just gonna say it... some DS10 would be nice
LAME!11!1!! 
... My $0.02 ...
especially
I want people to appreciate it because the music is genuinely good and not just because it's technically impressive.
and
That's why selling our songs like other types of songs are sold, and saying to people "this is a good song and you should buy it because it's good" rather than "you should buy this because this is done with 2 channels on a single gameboy" is so important.
I feel like I better understand what your point of view is (and by association 4mat's, let's just say) and what you expect from an audience. But what I feel like isn't really being explained/explored/discussed is the assumption that
this is a good song = $$$
is problematic to say the least.
Because as I understand it you're argument is stating that something has to be bought to be good. Or in other words, it's only appreciated, truly, as good until it is bought. Or that buying something is the ultimate way to classify something as good.
There is no difference between "this is a good song and you should buy it because it's good" and "you should buy this because this is done with 2 channels on a single gameboy" because money is quantitative not qualitative
Money will not prove to you that "people appreciate it because the music is genuinely good and not just because it's technically impressive." They're not related.

fix'd
why don't you put more artist local to your area, or even canada, on that list?
Yeah, personally I think we should be selling our stuff just to "legitimise" it to an extent.
We want to move it away from being about the equipment we use and more what we're making with it?
How do these two things co-relate? How does spending money "move it away from being about the equipment we use and more about what were making?"
I don't get this because money is an abstracting medium.
Do you mind elaborating? I don't want to start a war I'm genuinely interested.
I'm totally in for the hostel, and so is my gf who will be attending also
