Buy Him A Coffee...Seriously

Post by jefflaplante » Fri Dec 09, 2022 2:55 pm

Make the enemy your friend, and buy him a coffee. Trust me.
I owe a lot of my success to a certain Taxi member who often seems overly critical and maybe a tad bit cheeky, in a cosmic sort of way.
Bought him a coffee, befriended him on social media, realized his words came from a place of helping rather than hurting, and from then on...my career took off. Buy the bloke a coffee...nuff said.

I'm not seeing as many Cosmic posts. CD had some tough posts for sure - usually seemed like pretty spot-on commentary though. It's possible to be a little in the middle there, I'd think. But - back to the point - Cosmic still around?

I'm always watching Johny. But more importantly, I'm always listening. ;)

This is great. Could be a great last line for a horror film. :)

I‘m with Cosmic most of the times, since he is honest in a respectful way! I do think often folks are beating around the bush to not step on somebody’s toes but truth is, it’s a tough business and nobody gives you a break because you are nice only, but because you deliver outstanding music! Thanks CD for your feedbacks and good luck 🍀

Some folks seem to confuse critique of a track with being critical of them as a person ( whether that's from a screener or a 3rd party oberver like myself ) - I don't believe I've ever said anything that was overtly personal to anyone. It's always about the music but sometimes people take feedback that's not to their liking as a personal affront.

It's just one guys opinion at the end of the day and none of us are 100% right all of the time. Just weight any advice appropriately and try not to get too high or low either way.
