I don't think that's what he was saying at all. While I did get a feeling he was talking about the over saturation of music on the internet to a degree, I think his main point was that people need to hone their craft and have a true want to create music before they put it on the internet. His point was basically that practice makes songwriting better and that people need to be less tempted to immediatly share something they've made when they're young and grow up in the public eye.
I agree that's what he was saying, but I'm not sure how it's inconsistent with my interpretation. I'm saying that young artists hone their songwriting skills through the sharing process. They get feedback and then improve. Once they're established (define that however you like), then I'm not thrilled with the idea of them sharing everything that pops into their heads. A master musician will make something that lasts longer if they take their time to do it.

Ah, okay, I kind of skimmed that part of your post when I read it, sorry. The interpretation I had of your post originally was that his point was just that there's too much music to be heard today, I can see what you're saying now. I agree about sharing being a part of the creative process too, without feedback it's really easy to become stagnant in what you're doing after all.

Ah, yeah, I see how you read it now. I was crudely linking the two ideas (too much music and less careful songwriting), but you're right that they're not exactly equivalent.

The Beatles and Beach Boys used to release two albums a year. Nowadays, big-time artists like Radiohead and Arcade Fire go 2-3 years between albums.
I think the writer just needs to be smarter about choosing what they listen to.
I agree with that last line, but it should also be noted that bands with financial support of labels have a much different system than bands who must make the most of studio time. The Beatles could've spent years in the studio finely tuning The White Album without worrying about money. Young bands tend to rush through their studio time because they financially need to.
But there is a trend of oversharing in today's world. it's our culture.
What do you guys think of this album?:
First Imaginary Symphony For Nomad by The Music Tapes
I was thinking of buying this one, so I was wondering what your thoughts on it were.
Pitchfork gave it a 2.7 (lol), but it sounds pretty good to me, judging from iTunes previews.
I've found the booklet to the album online (which is beautiful with all the lyrics and nice pictures!) and in there there are more infos about the recordings: http://www.scribd.com/doc/12390301/Neon-Bible-Digital-Booklet
I think all the orchestra and choir sessions were recorded in Bp., at the Hungarian National Radio Studios. This is really cool. :)
I know this isn't really music related, but something similar to this happened to me. About a year ago, I actually found out that The Sopranos was recorded in my hometown, and I know most of the locations that they drive by in the intro.
