Current Music: Explosions In the Sky - The Moon Is Down
well our little production company idea seems to be coming into swing right now. theres talk about buying the rights to artist dais. but thats just talk right now. but we all seem pretty serious about it, and are willing to put in hard earned capital, and the hours to see it succede, however there is the nagging feeling in the back of my head that this will blow up right in our faces. not because we have no connections, which we sort of do. we've got radio station connections and TV staton connections, its not that we dont know the local scene, cause we do. were at gigs everytime they have one. sometimes at 2 gigs a night. its not that we dont know the bands, cause we do. its just the feeling that THE LOCAL SCENE SUCKS! its not the bands, the bands are talented as hell and if they had the exposure then they could possibly give some major company bands a run for their money. its the people, most people i've noticed except for a select few DO NOT give a shit about local music, and unless they watched it on mtv, or it comes from somewhere else they dont give a shit. everytime a manila band comes down there is all this hype, wow rivermaya are coming, wow slapshock are coming, wow greyhoundz are coming? So fucking what? jesus christ for every manila band that comes down here, there is 2 other bands in your own backyard that sound better than them. its fucking sad, and it tears my fucking heart out to see these mother fuckers love a band when its popular, but as soon as the fucking hype has died down thats it its over. you think anyone will give a shit about jr. kilat when the hype has worn off? yeah about 20 people, band members included in that tally. its fucking ludicrus! i dispise this Mtv worshiping fucking sprawling mass! i would like to put a bullet through everyones head that ever called them self a fan of a band then denied ever saying that when the band looses its fucking popularity, unless you have a valid reason say for instance you like smooth friction when they were funny as hell, but all of a sudden they got too serious. that would be a valid reason. This is not a valid reason, i saw this band on myx, they looked so cool, and all of a sudden they werent so me and my friends stopped liking them! that is not a good reason, and if i hear one person say that i will fucking strangle that mother fucker on the spot. back on the topic after my little rant! i've been to plenty of fucking killer gigs, saw wolfgang 4 times, great shit, one band that No one could top backyard or not. but heres the point, the opening bands, i think the one time i remember was pg 18 playing, the audience was so fucking unappreciative. but i suppose there is some reason to that, we were all excited about wolfgang. but another case in point of a good gig. some rock challenge a couple of years back i think it was 5 or 6 not sure, but well glitch and opium wars were playing, i swear to god, the crowd was appreciative, the crowd was having fun, everybody was moshing, i got an elbow to the face and lost half a tooth, my girlfriend at the time got her tits groped, but who cares! the crowd was amazing, and the bands seemed to get that extra bit of energy from the crows responsiveness. now we look at the scene? i havent seen "one" moshpit since i've got back from australia! well there were 4 guys just jumping around to smooth friction, but they were high out of their skulls. so i suppose the end point is. If this fails, and fails misserably on the part of the people, then thats it. they dont deserve the music! if it fails on the part of the bands, then thats it i know why the scene is like this(i highly doubt it, most of the people i've met have been really really cool guys, the kind who you can just treat as friends instead of demigods.), and if it happens. then i'm just putting out the album, and thats it its fucking over. the one thing that makes me happy, the one thing i thought i was actually ok at, i'll scrap cause there is no hope, and no point! And its not for money, i dont expect money back, i just want to leave a mark, and possible make enough money to actually pay off what it cost to produce, and possible a bit more to start on a new one. thats it, its for arts sake mainly, a vent for expression and frustration. |
