For us, me and my partner at the time, it was kind of a point where we felt there was some relevance of what we were doing to chime in. My feeling was that it was less the response that we got immediately (although we did get some nice change for a 1st release party @ Motor in Detroit!), but it was more that we were contributing a piece to a timeless pool of music. The piece could be missed at the drop point, or totally well recieved, but ultimately it is your first participation in an ongoing 'discussion' if you will. If your authentic self is inspired by having something valuable to say, then chime in! It will, in some form, be there forever, and a piece of history and evolution.

Obviously if you're thinking of doing it cause you just moved a kilo or u want a blowjob this is a different discussion! lol

My two cents on that one...
