Why small bands should stay small and not do any of the major label BS

It's 6 p.m. KROQ, a local rock radio station here in LA has its usual playlist on. RHCP, the Foos, Rise Against. And suddenly... What the Hell? Metric's new song "Help I'm Alive" The first thought taht pops into my brain is not "OMG, I'm like sooo excited!!!" No , it's " What the fuck are they doing here? " First, the Ariborne Toxic Event. Then The Silversun Pickups and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs( Karen O, I Love you! Marry me [In Maine] ) And now Metric. What has this world ( or at least LA) come to?
Most of you are going to bitch about me being a horrid fan and not caring about the wellbeing of my fave bands. Blah Blah and more Blah! I unlike some brainless cattle out there sincerely do care about the wellbeing of my bands, and that is why i don't want them to succumb to the Axis of Evil, a.k.a the major labels ( Sony, Warner, Virgin, etc. )
I , along with thousands of other suburban kids fell in love with bands such as Client and M83 because they were so small, and hence eccentric There was no mainstream bs. It was all original and very fresh. These bands oozed creativity and love + passion for music. And that is what drew us to them. They were unique, one of a kind. Their music connected with us. It made us feel. It made us think. It made us believe in a better world free of all the hell that is going on around us. It helped us escape from pain and misery. They were people who cared.
And now I'm forced to watch all of this slowly disappear. As bands become bigger, fame goes to their heads. They become preoccupied with money rather than music. I don't want my bands to have a commercial sound. I want them to to remain themselves nad stay true to their roots, stay true to their sound..
TO BE CONTINUED SOON , I PROMISE!

Obama vs. Devil..I mean Cheney

VS



Since day one, I was the biggest Obama supporter. I believed in him, I trusted him, I supported every single one of his plans. But right now, I am highly disappointed in Obama's stance on gay marriage rights. In fact, Dick freaking Cheney is more liberal than Obama is when it comes to gays and their right to marry. How could this be? I still sincerely believe that deep down Obama does support natural human rights. However, I find it very hard to justify this move made by our President. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." However, devil...I mean Dick Cheney in a recent interview claimed that he doesn't "have any problem with [gay marriage]. People ought to get a shot at that." I think that since this was a topic very close to the ex VP (his daughter is gay), hence he has a rather liberal point of view ( of course, he doesn't want the federal government involved in this issue, but still)
I am not condemning Obama at all. In fact, since his days in the Senate of Illinois, Obama supported other gay rights. He voted numerous times against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. He, thus, does believe that gay and lesbian couples should have equal rights as heterosexual couples. He just doesn't want to call it marriage. Dick Cheney does.
Obama, darling, don't let this man full of pure evil make you look bad. I understand you're Christian. But don't let your religious beliefs tamper with your moral beliefs. You should know better than deny humans their basic rights. I know deep down isnide you knw what's right and what's wrong. Please, I still believe in you.

Jon Stewart- a Pure Genius!

Anyone who knows me also knows about my not-so-secret obsession with The Daily Show an its super duper sexy host Jon Stewart. In fact here's a delicious photo of him.. Yum






O.K. then.. ahem..
Other than being my man of dreams, Jon Stewart just may be the smartest man on TV. For a decade, Jon has been delivering critical evaluations of news that were long lost. While "news" networks such as Fox and MSNBC were spending their time discussing Britney or Paris, Jon gave us real news.
while i will continue my praise of Stewart on later posts, i would like to share an absolfreakinlutely amazing piece from his show here he praises Limbaugh's decision to leave NY!!
FINALLY!
