Aight, Im back
Well, after two days of being sick at home, Im ready to talk to some hot chicks and lay down some tight blog. Unfortunately, as always, Ill just be talking to married chicks and laying down mediocre blog. Que sera sera, I guess.
Anyhow, a few thoughts.
An amendment to an earlier blog: The time period I wish I was in is not represented in Swing Kids. To properly feel like I want to feel, watch Great Balls Of Fire.
A note to the work on my desk, as would be said by a sixty-year-old hispanic man: "What is dis chit!? What is dis bool-chit!? Ju don' do dat to me!!!"
I got a new zippo this weekend. It has a picture of a chick who looks like Bettie Page with a rose tattoo. Is there anything harder to keep clean than shiny metal?
Despite my retro ramblings, I have to say my favorite band right at this moment is Matchbox Twenty. Bent, indeed!
Actually, this brings me to a good topic to blog on, so I shall. On the Matchbox Twenty website (www.matchboxtwenty.com, duh), you can go to a page and listen to every song they have ever recorded. This is not a "clips" page, nor is it a page with shitty videos. You can actually listen to the M20 library. There are a couple of websites who do this, or some semblance of it (Yellowcard, Jet) and I have bought every one of those people's cds. I think some people are so jaded that they think if you give people a chance to listen to their music for free, you will have no money. Bands who have stupid 15 second clips of their songs and 30 second clips of their videos drive me crazy. I know Im touching on a sensitive issue here, what with napster and all, but even though I will support the poor musician all my days, I thought that wholoe thing was stupid. Let people share music, jerks. It aint communism, its SHARING. The world could use more. (Haha, says Metallica, as he eats money).
Anyhow, off my soapbox. How is everyone?

Yep - as a poor musician myself, and being from a long line of poor musicians, I actually tend to agree with you...It's always been my experience that when you allow people to listen to a whole song, say, on a website, or even on Napster, sometimes people want to, I dunno, listen to it without having to log in somewhere, like in their car, or at a friend's house, or even just whenever. The truth is (sorry ASCAP, I know I'm gonna get in trouble for this), if people like your music, they are going to buy your album.

You know, I agree with you on the "born in the wrong decade" issue. My figure is much more suited to the 30's and 40's. EXCUUUUUUSE ME if I'm not a size 2.
