Music sucks now, John Mayer and 3 bores Down, The Jonas "lets have preteen girls lust after us but make it okay because we are abstinant" Brothers . Bands like Arcade Fire and Intepol (AFs first cd is okay, that second one is horrid. Interpol ? I dont get it. I saw them on the Cures Curiosa fest a few years back, yawn yawn yawn. Why do they carry toy guns on stage with them? ).
I mean the thing is, music is very bland now. Everything is just, boring. Some bands try to hard to get in your face, like nu-metal (is there a law every hard rock band has to have one guy who is bald and a fu manchu now?) Gangsta rap, which at one time was kinda cool, seems pasturized now. I get a , we arent like this but youll buy it vibe from those guys now.
And people like John Mayer, 3 doors Down, and all the other stuff being pushed at us is boring. Nickelback, nah keep the change dude. NickelBack looks sounds and plays like they have no idea what the masses will buy so we will do a little of each. It reminds me of the late 90s when everyone was all get Belle and Sebastion they rule. I did, I thought I was listening to the soundtrack of a PBS documentary about steam trains or some crap.
Its not we rock, we make good music, its "what will sell, and how can we sell more."
And I am so sick of the majors blaming slow sales on downloading, its not 99 anymore guys, and when I was Dling music, it was live shows and unreleased stuff or music by bands that Majors owned and refused to put back out.
Cds arent selling because, well you put out crap.
Sorry for the rant, I guess im getting old..............
