Sunday January 17, 2010

YEEEEE BOOIIIIIIIIII girls we guna pop our booties on the dance floor yeee crump it till you dump it WUHT WUHT!!!!

baby be looking at meeee yeee shawty get down sorry girl you to fug for this thug YEEEE

what. what. what.

why.

I am listening, currently, at this moment, to PASS THAT DUTCH by Missy Elliot (THANK YOU OH THANK YOU YOU ALL ARE SO WONDERFUL) and I am reminded me of something a friend said.

“where has the instrument gone?”

….shit. they found out. people have caught on. the underground scene must run and flee from these people craving ACTUAL FUCKING INSTRUMENTS!

I can most likely count the number of bands on the Top 10 on one hand that are using actual instruments, and even less that are playing them with some degree of skill. Maybe even the top 20.

Yes, computers are great.

Yes, computers make life easier.

Yes, auto-tune is the logical next step

WAIT WOAH WOAH SLOW DOWN NOW! What is auto-tune folks? Well auto-tune, in the culturally accepted sense of the word, is when a computer is made to make your voice sound better, worse, robotic, mechanical, pitchy, non pitchy. Basically manipulate your voice to fit your style. Well aint that just grand. Instead of artists, voices balls to the wall awesome, we have artists, voices balls in ur mouth not good, who look beautiful singing cheap, catchy, 2ish minute songs.

Lady Gaga’s album has 8 songs on it. You get paid to make 8 - 10 songs on your album, the rest is additional for your fans. Guess who just got teabagged by Lady Gaga.

Black Eyed Peas’ music has gone from pretty alright hip hop garbage to Fergie in as little clothing as Americanly possible while singing into a robot mike you could probably buy from Dollarama and STILL sound better, with Will. I. Am throwing a rap or two and Apple and the ugly one pretty much moving their arms back and forth.

Britney Spears. Fuck it.

Let’s just ask ourselves, when our favorite song magically descends into my radio/ iPod/ music playing device: Is There An Actual Instrument Being Played?

9 times out of 10 …. nope :)

nope diddly opedy ope nope. And you know why?

Because people decided, one day, that BEATS are way cooler sounding than MUSIC, and therefore the companies running the music industry said BEATS = MONEY and MUSIC = LESS MONEY and whats better LESS MONEY or MONEYYYYYYYY and they went with jizzfuckcumMONNEEEYYYYYYYY. Now, we the impressionable youth, must look to our music scene and see the Lady Gaga’s, Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears’ of the world repeatedly farting on our music industry.

I do not call their music music, it is farting….the beat farts, their voices might as well be coming out of their asshole for the amount of natural voice there is in there, the dancing can be only describe as laughably michael jackson and altogether a mega fucked up failure of an industry.

And yet….you still buy from them :) You still consume their garbage :) You continue to buy into “if i wear what they wear im just like them yayyyy” :)

Have we not moved past the days of the Industrial Revolution? Are we honestly going back to associating with PEOPLE
THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE
THESE STARS ARE JUST PEOPLE

They are not better, worse, more or less talented than you are in anyway. You do not need to be intimidated by PEOPLE. Nor should you see them and have the insatiable urge to wear what they are wearing. Anywhere else you would be scoffed at for being a poser, copycat or worse. Yet we are encouraged to continually by what the artists, athletes, and actors are endorsing.

fuck that.

I’ll wear my shitty overpriced 29.99 sweater and 19.99 shirts not worrying if someone else owns it or not or if the logo will get me laid a little bit more

and god knows I need to get laid.

so the point of this really long stupid message really is: i am running low on disk space and need to clean out all my folders and I am not happy.
