Yes Cloud you're absolutely right, we should all just sit on our fucking arse and enter as many competitions as possible, and not bother to actually do things off our own back, y'know, like play shows and stuff? It's totally boring when bands release things and go on tour isn't it? It's even more boring when said releases are promoting said tours! I fucking hate bands who release things and tour! It's all about the competitions? Y'know, like why work at a job when you can WIN THE LOTTERY!!!!! IT COULD BE YOU!!!! POSITIVITY!!! Yes, all music, effectively, is about popularity. When I'm sitting at home listening to my Bruce Springsteen CDs, I'm not thinking about the music. Man! I'm thinking about WINNING THE LOTTERY AND BECOMING POPULAR! YOU WIN AGAIN CLOUD! YOU WIN AGAIN! The Beatles slaving away in Hamburg? Fuck that shit! They should have entered a competition! SST busting their balls to put Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Minutemen, Black Flag, etc into the world? Releasing 7" singles and stuff? Fuck that shit! They should have gotten better haircuts in an attempt to become more popular!
