to further the sense of pretensiousness but also to hopefully counter your argument, why paint pictures when you can just take a photograph? i think it's a cool enough idea compared to the rest of the internet's complete waste of humanity
I'm not sure I understand your counter argument, but it seems like this is more along the lines of...I dunno. Thinking really hard about painting a picture instead of actually painting so that you can appreciate how...I don't know.
I think the general point, and it's a valid one, is that it's silly to not just record a live take of a song if you want the focus to ACTUALLY just be on the music.
"a web series which presents artists performing out of focus, to "bring the attention to the music itself, not so much in the artist behind it."
That's the silliest goddamn thing I've ever heard. Why not just post audio?
