Strange reply structure here – I was replying to andyradicalpossumtackler’s comment a few posts back.

You have no idea how absolutely, eerily, clairvoyantly accurate this comment is.

For a dude with some serious stagefright, but a burning desire to be heard and to connect with people musically, Chat Roulette provided the perfect combination of spontaneity, anonymity and the absence of expectations.

A month ago I hadn’t even imagined such a situation, and was resigned to a life of solitary musical exploration. But now it seems like something I dreamed up as a child – my own TV show, broadcast from my bedroom, with personalized concerts for anyone interested enough to listen.

Problem is, I may have destroyed my own playground by becoming famous. Now most people on that website know who I am, thus the element of surprise is lost. And they will be stilted and self-conscious, knowing that they are probably being filmed.

But I got goosebumps when I read your comment, which encapsulates something that I’ve been trying to articulate for days. Thank you.
