I want to form a band. Who's in?
I want it to be loud and inaccessible yet still have it retain a pop sensability. Kinda proto-punk with a smile. Post-ironic. I want to write music which is about itself and nothing else: meta-music.
I have no idea what I just wrote.
Have you ever read those music reviews (like in Spin, or God forbid, Chart) that require you to have an extensive knowledge of musical lingo and obscure analogies in order to understand them? Like "The band's sound is like Pavement if Pavement were fronted by Malcolm Macdowell and if their lyrics were written by Oompa Loompas. Only, you know, death metal". I swear to God some people write like that- and I love it!!
Oompa-Loompa death metal- consider the possibilities.
Anyway all I need to do is learn how to play a musical instrument, write songs, get some suckers to join my band and- bam! Instant success. Easy as pie.
Mmm pie. Now I'm hungry.
I think perhaps they should make a pie without the crust, because in all honesty- pie crusts mostly suck. I never eat them. Although I like tarts and they have crusts. Maybe what I am looking for is a giant tart. Do they make big tarts? I would Google "Big tarts" but I'd probably just get lots of porn. Like "Big tarts like the dick" or something equally witty. Or Google "Big crusty tarts"- but that may be worse. Pastry porn. Ugh.
Its interesting how the Google, the company name, has become a verb. That is ingenious marketing right there. I mean I suppose you can Yahoo!, but who would want to really? No one that I would consider a friend thats for sure.
