Aimless musings and wandering rambling rather than any update.
Updates are few and far between in this band - we find it hard enough to update each other with what's happening in our own lives. Considering 3/5ths live together this is more suprising than it should be...
I can't remember the last time that we recieved something that wasn't spam or selfpromotion - it's boring and honestly rather insulting.
I'm a believer in putting yourself out there, after all if you are creating something this should be par for the course. Everything has to have purpose but only for yourself, it should further your understanding of where you have come from, where you are and where you are going. Not to get X more plays, X comments and X picture comments from peroxide hot bitches...
We once posted a rant about the state of the scene - just as a bulletin, just because one of us had something to say. It stirred up a shit storm, the size of it was something to behold. We had no agenda or plan; it was a reaction. It certainly may have not been the best thing to do if we were in to getting X more plays and ANY peroxide hot bitches but it was the RIGHT thing to do.
Beneath the "you're shit anyway" and the semantics there was a debate, a healthy one at that, it wasn't that different to the one that we were having between ourselves. I'm glad we put it out there - I'm certainly not saying we are the moral purveyors or anything as lofty as that. But it does follow, if it created such a debate and a passionate one at that why wasn't anyone else saying it?
This is our myspace, it's where we put our music, our thoughts and ourselves in plain sight. This isn't a place to please anyone else just to garner some sort of acceptance or to say "we've made it because of all the X's we have recieved. If people, rightly so, put so much weight into the purity, integrety and sanctity of making music surely they should apply this rigour to the people who are making it. If the same rule can't be applied to each then they break every rule for each.
Pleasing everyone is just not possible.
This isn't an excuse to be rude, ignorant, inconsiderate or to throw your weight around because you have decided people deserve to know your thoughts. It's a reason to understand, educate and inform yourself and to say to the world - these are my thoughts, what are yours?
So rather than spamming, find people who put themselves out there and talk to them with reverence and egality don't expect something from them which you aren't willing to give.
After all I'm normally dribbling over stuff like this - so make me care more about you.
