Sigh. You can't make everyone happy, but you can make everyone miserable. I thought the intelligence here would be higher than the mean, but boy was I wrong! Should I spell it out? OK! Calling your gig with another looping musician a "Loopfest" and even more gall enhanced, "First Loopfest EVER" now that is EGO. Hello! Is anyone awake? TAP TAP TAP IS THIS THING ON!? If you weren't borderline retarded, you'd realize that my one man loopfest was poking fun at The GREAT RICK WALKER (who I actually consider a friend) He's got quite a healthy ego, so I thought a little poke at it would be fine. Since he doesn't seem to be the least bit offended, and has actually been corresponding with me off list, I'll assume I'm right. If I'm wrong, I guess it doesn't matter as I'm not one of his "featured performers" and frankly the back-patting, self-congratulatory events that loopfests actually are don't really interest me much. I just find it weird that you'd elevate some artists to "featured" status when the only audience to these events are the people playing them. Why not just say, "good performer" and "filler" and be done with it? OK, I'm tired of typing, and realize that unless I could somehow do a "Flowers for Algernon" type of enhancement on you, you're not understanding me anyway. I don't have a big ego Tim, I'm just not dim like yourself. In case you haven't notice from my charming personality, I'm not one to be in cliques. Frankly, I thought Terry was a cool guy and was twice the musician most of you are and probably half the ego. I was a bit sad when he was driven off because he was trying to promote himself, yet when others do much worse, it seems to go unnoticed because they're in "the looper clique." Bah. I'd be humbled to do a show with him any day of the week. And for my final bridge burning moment (boy am I done with this list!) I'm going to finish it with a little review of Matthais' last album: Unlistenable. The man has absolutely no sense of rhythm at all. Needs to knock off the ganja and spend a month with a metronome. Better yet, drop the guitar for a while and work on a modern EDP and drop that frustrated ex musician know-it-all Kim and get someone who gives a crap to help you develop and market your (brilliant) product. Man that felt good! If I had to read one more steller review of that thrown together piece of crap (the album) I was going to puke. I'm not saying I'm a great musician, but I'm not trying to get money for it either. So that's that. The LD list has mostly been a source of anger and bewilderment to me for a while and I should have followed my instincts and stayed unsubscribed. I don't have the disposition for it. LOL! Cheerio!
