Pht. I don't care if a band sells out or not. I just care if the music was good or not.

And art or not, it's not like anyone is sitting around thinking "I'm gonna be a moderately liked musician who is known in his home county by a couple of hundred people and gets $45 for doing a show!", are they? You see a chance, you take it. The worst thing that annoys me is when a band changes as a natural process of making music but get called sellouts. It's not happened to them, but the best examples I can think of of naturally changing music is Incubus.

Also, 'slewed'?
