# Had a discussion on here recently about what is art and what isn't.
This ^ (toilet painting) might qualify if the result was borne out of a prowess above and beyond that which would be expected of the average person (plus had some particular level of significance.)

# Hahaha
hell yeah, these guys always raise a smile for me. Proper trolling; they actually make a living at it and have a shitload of fun in the process.

# I wish I could make a living wage making pictures and music
but I lack commitment, so, 9-5 pollution blues it is

# what kind of music (and or performance) are you speaking of?

# terrible shit that nobody would ever want to buy ; )
 
I have unrealistically high standards and hate most things I do, b3ta is fine though because it is all for fun

# I guess I'm talking genre
I used to play keys in jazz and R&B bands for years. I still create originals on occasion in my little studio, and create backing tracks for other musicians to use for various purposes. I get paid for those, but it's not a very good per-hour return, if you know what I mean.

# I'm kind of all over the place.
if pressed for a point of reference I would say Zoogz Rift, or Soul Coughing..

but when I reach for the acoustic it's usually in the Kristin Hersh / Frank Black / Jon Fratelli line of things

# I wasn't around for that.
I'm still feeling kind of left out to be honest.

# I can relate to some of those, to a point
You probably won't relate to my stuff, but I'll thrust one at you anyway. I'ts a dance/jazz/marginally fusional original I call SmoothPass

# I think I heard a rap version of this.
It was a woman, she was saying stuff like, "your call is important to us, please continue to hold for the next available representative".

# does that mean you think it sounds like please-hold or elevator music?
If so, I agree in a way, but it's mine and not everyone can do it :)

ed: of course I did not expect an answer. You are rather predictable that way.

# when I play piano it's mostly Satie, or a bit of the old Ludwig van.

# I suppose it's art, given that probably not just "anybody" could do it
(or at least not anything similar twice in a row.) Why anyone would want to, though, is a different matter.

# farting in church, i believe

# correct--but if it leaves an incidental stain on the pew (pardon the pun) that might be art ;p

# there's a very nice looking church at the end of our road
maybe i should enquire about about putting on an art exhibition

# There was the guy
who ate different coloured foods until he pooped that colour. Bottled them and then made what can only be described as shitscapes painted only with his multi-hued turds.

I'd give that one art (If only for the suffering to get a blue paint)
