Wick's Guest Blog

Welcome to Wick's guest blog. Wick, or Chad (his actual name), has a pretty funny outlook on things and way with words. From time to time he'll throw down some stuff for ya.

Background...

Wickster is a IT professional, a musician, has a fondness for hispanic women (sorry ladies, he's married), good music and soccer (football, as he would call it). Working and sharing a house in the past, we've been able to come up with some pretty funny shit. Add in some good friends, alcohol and you have one of the funniest nerds I've ever met. Anyway, I thought I'd invite ole Chad to share some of his thoughts on life and any other crap he could come up with.

Enjoy...

The Business of...Fake-Ass Indie Music

Wick First off, much thanks to Rob for giving me some space on his site. Secondly, I used to write a bunch of formal, quasi-philiosophical garbage on my last site that used to bore the shit out of everybody so I will refrian from doing that crap again.

Anyway, on to The Buiness...

I don't know what on God's green earth is going on in the music industry but I feel like puking everytime I turn it on a so-called "popular" station. It seems that even Indie bands like [insert your favorite post-hardcore, pop punk, sounds like Bright Eyes band here] have broken the DIY oath by signing with these corporate, soul-sucking labels.

I understand that everybody gotta git paid, but it should be aginst the law for these clowns to masquerade as the torch-bearers of independent music because they throw out a bunch of unconventional chords coupled with whiny and "heart-felt" lyrics that I'm supposed to be moved by. Dude, grow a sack write some honest shit for once:

"Hey there my paycheck what's it like in my backpocket..."

I'm out.

P.S. R.I.P. Benito...you'll be missed.
