"But when it comes to using Obama as a platform for completely irrelevant self-promotion, as always nobody does it quite like music publicists ..."
(1.) Yes, the publicists who used the election to hype something are at best socially retarded.
(2.) Most publicists are not self-promoting, but actually promoting the work of someone else. That's kind of hard to do. Maybe you could have a little sympathy for people trying to get the attention of people who are usually very busy and sometimes often quite narcissistic ("My opinion is the one that counts, dammit!").
(3.) Are publicists more 'completely irrelevant' experts of self-promotion as opposed to say, cranky, oblique bloggers and stylistically impotent music 'journalists'? Or is it more or less?
(4.) Ha ha, stupid people trying to tell ME what music to listen to!
(5.) Oh shit, I just realized most of the albums I loved this year I first heard about from ... publicists. And if it was from someone else, a publicist might have told them. Somewhere in the chain a publicist was involved to get your attention for that (new or reissued) album that you love. What hacks! Fuck those guys!
