The situation: one of my friends has kinda become a dick. A couple of us have confronted him about it, and he agrees that he's a dick. He also just doesn't care. Sometimes I'll forget and we'll be good friends like before, but then he'll say something like "Your music is shit" (referring to the stuff I'm producing) for no reason, which is, if not inaccurate, at least unnecessary. And then it sucks.

Advice?

galen  ·  3272 days ago  ·  link  ·  

ok, how do I produce music that's actually not shit so that when he insults it I can not care as much?

You're placing the blame on the wrong person. It's not your music that needs to get better, it's his attitude. If he's in a position to insult your music, he's too close to you in general.

OK, yeah, but also my music needs to get better. e.g.

Not the right person to ask, but that sounds good to me.

Just going to play it safe and drop the practice makes perfect platitude.

Much appreciated.

Embrace the shit and make noise!

Alternately, ask demure how to get to Carnegie Hall.
