Now i know that i lot of people out there have heard me say this before , infact so many times that most of my friends might think I'm a boring old prick , maybe not just my friends think this ?
all that aside , i picked up Sydneys music paper on my travels around this town today to peruse it and see whats goin on and i found a few things that interest me , BUT the MINDLESS , SOULESS , FACELESS , FASHION DRIVEN SHIT that appears from FRONT to BACK of this paper is so dissapointing it crazy .
Everyone is different [thank god] and everyone has an opinion [just like everyone has an arsehole right?] [or is that most people ARE arseholes ??] . Music that excites me is music that i hear that is honest , it doesn't need to sound new or fresh , it just needs to sounds soulful and honest , ya see lil' JC is a simple man with simple pleasures , and i love lots of simple things .
I have just got home from spending a wonderful three weeks with a very beautiful woman in the interesting country called America . On this trip we visited New Orleans , this city seems to be on it knees after what has happened to it , BUT this town has some sort electricity in the air , and a love for REAL music ! , i picked up this city's music paper and it excited me from FRONT to BACK !! I dont believe some of the crap that is forced upon the good people in Sydney would last five seconds in New Orleans.
I love Sydney and have lived in other places only ot come home and be happy to do so , but i believe the music industry in this city has a LOT to answer for . It seems ALL thay are looking for is the next bunch of "cool" looking kids , MUSIC is not important , it simply cant be because the SHIT i hear on the radio and the FASHION MODELS they palm off as bands that appear in press wouldn't be able to reconize something soulful and real if it jumped up and fuckin smashed them in the fuckin FACE !
if ya know me ya surely have heard this before , just another opinion from big bad Johnny Casino .
All the best
JC
