Frank, I totally disagree with you on this!!!!! :-)

I can't believe you wrote this words. :-)

Seriously, if you're right, then your music (like mine) should stink 
since you're also a coder and you can't do both things as good as 
somebody who is just a musician or a developer.

My friends you're talking about marketing here. And marketing is crucial 
in our society to sell products. Art should not be a product. How can I 
believe your music is sincere if you communicate with a website full of 
marketing tricks?

BTW, I've made my own album covers.
