i’m not sure of the whole sell-out thing. i think musicians should do whatever makes them happy. and if this record makes her happy, then fuck all the people that would call her a sell-out. i mean c’mon we can’t all be angry, bitter 20somethings forever, you know?

Apparently this one is more mainstream and she’s afraid in a way that people will think she’s selling out, but she wanted it to be the way it is. The tunes are apparently more “pop” or accessible or the type that will get more air play on the radio. Have you noticed this change in her tracks Jodi? I actually like to hear the metamorphis that takes place with artists’ works, people like Joni Mitchell, from folk to jazz to just her own thing. As long as they’re being creative and expressing themselves, I say it’s up to them to do what they want, you know “to thine own self be true”. I checked out Bob Dylans’s Slow Train Coming from the library and have been really enjoying it. It’s like he’s combined the old folk singer with incredible musicians, funk, bass, rock, and it comes off appealing to both genres of listening folks, imho, anyway. Music is a salvation, it works like prozac for me.
