grrrrrrr
Walking from the hospital to the guild today, i was faced with the now familiar site of all of the misguideds, hanging around outside somewhere where society proberly doesn't want them to be, doing something society proberly doesn't want them doing. The kids with the dark hair over one eye, the pink highlights, the drain pipe jeans, the facial pearcings. There was more of them then i've ever seen before, it was amazing. Like they've been breading. To think, I was once naive enough to think i could rescue someone from that hell. gah. he's still there, he came up and said hi. He's still Rob, he still calls himself space rob and they still sing at him in that annoying voice. They still wrestle each other, and are generally really really loud. They still make me want to kill them all, but It's different. They were younger this time, a lot more so than they were before. These kids really were kids, not even qualifying for that, they were mearly boys and girls still. This is a cause for concern for me. Those kids get younger, and are mugged more, i got older and become more bitter
this addition's HTML was subtle, wasn't it?
I'm still hung up about the void that is exeter's music scene. Im fucking petrafied that the entire universe is gonna be sucked into it. Holy shit we're screwed. But I was thinking about sheffield's music scene, how it must be like up there. I think it most proberly is like this:
Of coarse, when the A and R men turn up, so do all the bands trying to make it big follow. Pretty soon you get a load of average bands being signed in the hope of being the next big thing, people more interested in owning the right clothes and not giving a damn about anything else. Style gets celebrated over substance. it's the life and death of all scenes. It happened in Manchester, London (twice), seattle. It's a shame as it wrecks bands potentials if they're pushed forward before they're ready.
I just wish there was some sort of scene in the southwest, that night at the cavern when you played with the silk and letters to leader's annoyed me. I can't believe all those kids went home, disrespectful bastards
i've met 3 promoters in a regional capital which is just odd considering (and that's including Tony) the catchment size, and the fact that there's a university present. The uni bands don't seem to produce a great deal of quality at the moment as well as the fact that there seems to be absolutely no cross over from student audiences and resident ones. This creates a problem for bands like yourself (who would ideally be playing to a student audience).
and thats me done, night all
