alrighty. though everyone likes different music, and many people out there listen to a very small section of the musical spectrum, i think we can all agree that the music business nowadays is shite. I'm not just talking about automatic sellouts like britney spheres and n*suckmybigphatcock. those aren't worth the time spent to type their mock names... shit. oh well... anyway, i'm talking about how even bands that spend time making quality music and putting alot of effort toward their musical endeavors get fucked over and out. this used to be because of record companies... this is quite common nowadays but something new that seems to be arising is a swelling up of false fans. take incubus for example. their new album, 'morning view', is not very poppy at all really. i mean think about it, they released 'nice to know you' which is a great song, but most people are too stupid to be able to follow a 3/4 / 4/4 part... and SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY a fuck load of retarded people show up to their concerts and act like they've been fans forever. you ask them what their favorite songs are and, of course, they reply with the most assanine example of the 2 or 3 songs that have most recently been released or were most popular.

Point being: if a band can make a great album like Morning View which has got a fairly apparent lack of poppy-ism, but can somehow attract retarded teenieboppers and whack-offs alike, due to media attention, or hot band members, or weed, or whatever else causes it, i think the music business will be stuck in a lull of people trying to cash in on similar success for quite a while.
