never found our way...regaurdless of what they say..how can it feel, this wrong?
I dont even know why im doing this so called rambling at this point, maybe because i havent made a public post in forever, and i need some new content, or maybe because im pissed off...but read this, dont read it, i dont give a fuck...
Music is leaving a bad taste in my mouth...and im not just talking about the cover of rolling stone, or a once respected poet, dressing like a whore to sell albums...(jewel). Cause at this point, im used to my favorite bands selling out...but not locally, locally, its pure, its staight and sharp, its what we make it...atleast, thats what it is most of the time...if you're a detroit native, you've probably heard of bands like howling diablos, etc...and if you dig em, you know why i mentioned em. but being im the local slut i am, i put myself as much into the local music craft as possible, i try and goto shows as often as possible, even if they're not local, and just indie...i try and make it to the circle jerk shows, the rollin's ramblings, spoken words, the rats, etc...i try and stay focused on the bands that fucking matter. one, in particular, a band that i got into about 7 months ago, a band by the name of placing the blame...i dug em, alot actually...which supprised me, because it's completely not my type of music...think of like, lisa loeb meets radiohead meets oasis...ok? really awesome band/singer, i dont want to say band, cause there doesnt seem to be much of a placing the blame anymore...just the lead singer, i dont know the story behind it, so im not going to judge...
but anyways, i dug em...seen em a few times...etc etc...and i've been half way incontact with the lead singer...she isnt so much a bad person, as she is a corporate rock machine...follow me here, first...when you're local, you dont care about record sales, you care about getting your shit heard, and the masses hearing your shit...she's one of those "dont download my music, you want the album, fucking pay for it.."..which i dont agree with, but whatever, dont care. but she's also very full of shit, i can completely see for the most part why you wouldnt want your shit to be downloaded, if you're anti file sharing, fine...not quite selling out yet, just on the fringe...but i logon livejournal today, and i see that she's doing a fucking pontiac commercial...A FUCKING CORPORATE CAR COMMERCIAL! i'm more so pissed off that someone in my fuckin scene is doing this...i mean, most of me doenst give a fuck, but theres still that pure part of me that says "SELLOUT".. how the fuck would you want to make an impact selling your soul...im sick of this scene turning into either:
white stripe rip offs
fake punk bands
straight edge bands with X's in the begining, middle, and end of the name
or millenium hair metal...
or complete and utter bullshit, great songs polished so that main stream america can use it to endorse a fucking car...
i know not every has the same fucking beliefs as me, and if you dont, then fuck you...simple as that, im not fucking sugar coating it, if you quote "love music" so god damn much, then why the hell would you try and make something so pure, into something so fucking filthy...im all for signing to major labels, or being on the top 100, but when it comes to doing jingles for fucking toyota, get the fuck out of here, and dont fucking say you're from the detroit rock scene, because ill hunt you down and fucking kill you...thats how i fucking feel about this fucking shit.
yes, if you're reading this tony, i know im cliche as hell, i know its nothing that i havent said before, i know its nothing that is worth rambling, and i know im just a little fuck for speaking out against it, but fuck this...
FUCK DETROIT
FUCK THE SCENE

FUCK THE POSERS
FUCK THE FAKE MUSICIANS
FUCK THE FAKE FANS
