Ja, du glaubst es nicht! Der Kerl ist doch wirklich übergeschnappt, oder?
Mr. Wilson has a quarrel with the way music is distributed and listened to these days. He scorns what he calls „the playlist mentality“ that encourages the perception that an album is a series of songs rather than a cohesive work. To combat the disassembling of „Insurgentes,“ he divided each track into short snippets. The cuts aren’t audible when you listen, but you can’t put an entire song into shuffle mode on an MP3 player.
„An album isn’t made to be listened to in bits and pieces,“ he said. „You don’t do that with ‚Sgt. Pepper‘ or ‚Pet Sounds.‘ One of the advantages of being underground like I am is that my fans are passionate. The majority listen to my work as a whole. Most people who listened to Zappa were passionate. I have a similar situation.“
Wenn er sich für Frank Zappa hält, schmeiß ich bald alle seine Platten auf den Müll und kauf mir stattdessen das Komplettwerk von Zappa. Ich glaub, da bin ich besser bedient! *kopfschüttel*
