well, i dont think ANYONE wants to work a sucky job, ive yet to come across anyone who really WANTS to work in a crummy shop like myself, it's a case of having too, and not being bitter about it, as that will only further antagonise yourself and ultimately end up getting yourself down, depressed, anxious for something else to be happening etc etc

i agree to having to have time to commit to music, that's soley why i went to a part time job last year. But of course as EVERYONE knows, living isnt free, and its about finding a balance. No one's denying that music shouldnt be paid for, i certainly am not i agree 100% that music is like any other product for sale, it should be legally purchased. I dont think anyone is trying to justify theft, any comments that do indicate that in this thread are clearly tongue in cheek, well certainly some are without having to point them out.

I'l never be without a normal job and i genuinely think that anyone who does exist within the scene who had any sense about them would have a regular job or a pretty solid sideline i.e decent temp work when they want it, as you never know whats around the next corner. Either that or ensure your dj/live schedule is seriously, solidly booked up, but of course even then that's not guarenteed until you've done the gig and the money is in your hand
