This is a curious thing. I happen to agree with it (especially taking 
it out of context of the discussion-I haven't heard Kris' music). I 
think it goes both ways. Last Wednesday, my loop show to me was a 
tragic failure, yet the audience really liked it. I had requests to 
get on the mailing list (which I don't have) and for recordings 
(which I didn't bring). However, had I made "better art" and been 
satisfied by my own performance, would I have gotten the positive 
audience reaction? Should I cry foul at the audience for liking what 
I did?

Hmmmm.
