You Know What I Hate?

[sodamntired]

Artists and bands that fall in love with themselves and their image/ideaology.

 

I think of Radiohead and, most recently, jack white and the white stripes.

 

Quality bands, I admit, but what annoys me about them is when they pull bullshit like:

 

- for one album, release a video for every song on it and tour extensively, but for the next, don't promote it, no video, and no tour.

 

These bands forget what they are in it for, releasing albums that their fans love and enjoy.

 

Its when bands pull this and the select fans buy into it when it becomes too much for me to bear.

 

me - "oh, belle and sebastian, are they good?

 

b and s (or any of aforementioned bands) fan - "oh....i'm sorry, i would explain it, but (pulls drag of cigarette)you just wouldn't (dramatic pause) get it"

 

Thats my rant.

Okay, take a deeeeep breath. Now in a big-boy voice. What is the point you're trying to make?

 

Sometimes bands don't have concepts for videos?

Sometimes bands don't tour after an album is released?

Belle & Sebastion fans are assholes?

 

Haha, i'm not an asshole in the real world. Honest.

[Vance]

you think the white stripes are a quality band?

[saturnine]

maybe you forgot what the bands are in it for. sorry to say, but they don't do it for you.

[Dan #3]

They do it for the $$$.

[sodamntired]

My rant is (was?) really directed at the conceited and pretentious people and artists of the world.

 

thats it.

[Dan #3]

So... the entire population of all The Internets?

[mrs jesus]

They do it for the $$$.

No, that's farmers you're thinking of.

[alex_madf3rit]

The white stripes suck donkey cock.

Radiohead are one of the best bands ever.

Is a sin to put both bands on the same sentence.

 

thats my rant

[andydanger]

white stripes are amazing and their new album proves it even more.... and if there were only two bands to really remember from the 90s it would be radiohead and dave matthews band.

that's my rant

Explain to me the appeal of the Dave Matthews Band. 'Cuz I don't understand it.

I think he just meant that we have to remember our mistakes, or else we are doomed to repeat them.

 

 

 

 

........and that Radiohead rules.

i understand where you're coming from but if you're a fan you'll know when something will be released and you will be happy they have so many videos.
