i wouldn't say "i don't do albums" is a negative response. i even asked about it to see if it's just me. then you start talking about formats and fidelity rather than music, which other people engaged me about.
i "get" why people like vinyl. it's a ritual thing. i can't do rituals due to how my brain works. i also "get" why artists make albums. it's a way for music to tell a story, for narratives to interleave, to experiment with emotional changes. i "get" all that. i understand it. i know it. i would love to listen that way. it just doesn't work on me. i don't know why. i've tried, god knows i've tried.
jumping to the conclusion that i do not understand, and then reiterating that i do not instead of trying to explain it, and using unattributed quotes, is being cryptic. it is not clear.
and regarding cobain; artists know that the way people interact with their work is not up to them. throwing tantrums, accusing people of being "fake" for being... people, that's a teenager's way of looking at the world. it's not enough to create something people love, they must love all of you, or it's "fake". this happens all the time. look att blink-182, toto, chumbawumba. fucking rick astley. the difference is what they make of it. and to be clear, i'm not being down on curt. the man was obviously going through it. i'm just saying that you're not making the point you think you are with that.
