J.b. MortimerHey again Nick,<br /> I just want to address a few of your semi serious complaints... <br /> <br /> Firstly you compare our campaign to others that don't have any film clip element and say that we are charging too much. <br /> <br /> But, If you read the project description you will see that we are funding an album and a short film/film clip for one of my songs, so when you compare our campaign to others that don't have any film clip element and say that we are charging too much, it doesn't make much sense.<br /> <br /> Also, nowhere did I say that I would be recording an acoustic style album.. I want this record to sound like a fucking orchestra of sound, and I want to record in a great studio with other amazing session musicians.. This will all cost money.<br /> <br /> I take it very personally when you question how hard I work.. The truth is that, you have no fucking idea how hard I work.. I spend literally hours every day writing and recording demos.. Working out lyrics, and setting up gigs... I live for music and songwriting.<br /> <br /> If you have an issue with crowd sourcing in general (which you seem to suggest at one point... when you say that a musician should raise money the hard way) that's fine.. But people have to pay for their recording somehow, and its certainly not going to be through album sales.<br /> <br /> Lastly, you're argument that I'm shit seems to consist of "I like acoustic music, so therefore my opinion about you is a fact"... Which is the sort of dumb argument that you would get on a YouTube video's comments.<br /> <br /> My suggestion to you, is that if you like those other acts more and think that they are more worthy of support, go support them.. Be a positive human being, not an asshole on the Internet tearing people down to make yourself feel good.14y

Murali ThalluriNeil are you seriously that pathetic that you have to go and rag on someone trying to actually go out there and do it? I note that you've not supported a single project on here? So do you troll the different projects on Pozible, and just look to shit on them? He needs twenty grand to record the new album, and do two film clips. That costs money. <br /> <br /> Get off the boards, and stop hiding behind the veil of the internet, if you actually have an issue, come and say it to one of our faces at his next gig. I dare ya...14y

Nick DiamondAlso, could your video be a little more cliche please?14y

Nick DiamondI am merely trying to educate people not to waste their hard earned money.<br /> Why is it costing you $20K to record what is arguably a minimalistic album?<br /> A full band is only asking for $5K (http://www.indiegogo.com/conditions).<br /> Another artist, much like yourself, is only asking for $10K (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katevargas/down-to-my-soul-the-debut-of-kate-vargas?ref=home_spotlight).<br /> What is it about your music that you feel makes it so special?<br /> Hundreds of artists have released similar music, at a much higher caliber.<br /> It's not about my personal tastes. I for one love acoustic ballads. They often exhibit a raw emotion that isn't found elsewhere. But to claim to be original and willing to 'work hard' whilst asking for $20,000 doesn't really equate.<br /> Hard work will get you the money you deserve, and if you can't get the money, then either you don't deserve it, or you're not working hard enough.14y
J.b. MortimerI also just want to say thank you to those who have pledged to the campaign and supported me. Your support means the world to me, and I'm going to work as hard as I can to make an amazing album for your guys.14y
J.b. MortimerThanks for writing that I seem like a nice guy, Nick Diamond.<br /> <br /> Musical taste is obviously a very personal thing... Personally I'm not a fan of Gary Jouls 'Mad World', but i don't see the point in going onto a website promoting his music to say how I think he's crap. (and I have no idea who Rellent K is, so definitely didn't rip him/them off).<br /> <br /> The people who have pledged to my campaign have made up their own minds about the quality of my music (just like you have).I'm not really sure why you felt the need to come on here and talk me down, when you could have just NOT pledged money to the campaign if you don't like what you hear.14y

Nick DiamondAre you serious? Have you never heard real music? He seems like a nice guy, but his music is so trite. $20,000 for what? To record an acoustic guitar and 12 versions of the same song?<br /> The guitar at the start of the video sounds like it's ripped off of Relient K's 'Curl Up & Die' - a MUCH better song.<br /> The other song sounds like the melody was copied straight from Gary Joules' 'Mad World'.<br /> His voice is not even dynamic OR unique.<br /> Save your money, go support original music. Not more of what's already been done a million times before, and done better.14y
