Don Mann: Focusing on my Craft Thursday, November 02, 2006 - 4:10 p.m. Just how deeply rooted into your subconscious are the Timberlakes and lil Kims? They say to be whores and you say "how high do you want this skirt to be?" Where's the "bringing logic back" campaign? How about the "Bringing compassion back" or "bringing back artistic integrity" movement? Nope, we're gonna bring back something that's already pervaded our culture and turned it into a veritable Who's who of hedonism. Now that we're famous, the whole world wants to see us fuck. Well, I don't; I don't want to know how you do it or what void it fills in your hollow, empty lives. I especially don't want to think that you're making yourself out to be a better person than any of us because you're being paid to tell us all about it. It's this mentality that explains why Buckcherry made it back on the charts after six years of wondering "cocaine didn't work, how are we gonna get these mindless idiots' attention? Oh, we'll sing about that time we raped that underage girl and mock her for it to mix with our tired Oasis rip-off." Boom, top40 countdown megahit. We don't just endure this trite pop culture bullshit, but now I get up to 5 fake friend adds a day from people who's opening line includes the same bullshit commercial tag line everyone used at the VMAs to promote their newest frankenstein electronica-pop counter-humanity album stuffed with the same blizzard of laughable, over-produced, shallow-minded, generic materialism we all endured in the early 90's. For the love of music please at least have the sense to see past the advertising campaigns and -not- encorporate it into your own vocabulary. Hey, let's bring "being rich" back. We all know that needs more coverage since only about 200000000 wannabe crunk albums discussed it. Yeeeeahhh, I'm bringing famous back baby. Gimme another round of trance synthesizers and sirens to play behind my uninspired lyrics I wrote before I even had money, about being rich. Not like anyone's using those synths anymore since techno faded out of the mainstream...but we can still blend lil jon's coarse and grating thug-mantra propaganda into the backing track with 'em. Here's an album guaranteed to sell. Tracklist
Who wants to make some real music? -Don |
