Ya know, every time I rant about my and other people’s music getting ignored by the local music scene… chances are some troll is gonna come around and say, “You should get the hint that no one likes your music.”. Too predictable, and it’s like I haven’t heard that one before. If that’s the reason that my music gets ignored by the local press and the scene — that’s all fine and good. Fuck ’em. Fuck ’em all.
The whole point I’m trying to make is that the scene makes a bunch of claims that they support “local music” in a positive direction but I’m absolutely not seeing it at all. They support all bands and artists to be friendly but my stuff is constantly overlooked. “Local music” shouldn’t be about who sucks and who is great. We all need to stop being fucking opinionated and support everyone. Stop being so hateful and spiteful to musicians who you think have no talent ’cause all it is it’s just an opinion — that’s it. “Local music” should be about getting together, creating a musical community of musicians and fans and playing each other songs. Keeping your negative opinions to yourself and just enjoy the moment of playing music. That’s what it should be about.
Instead it’s all a popularity contest around this area. Jealousy and ego goes crazy around here for sure. Absolutely. Too many musicians jerking themselves off and patting themselves on the back lately. What’s up with this?
People should be cool and nice enough to check my music out (even if they liked it or not). There are people like that indeed but NOT enough. It’s not about begging for respect and support. It’s about respecting all talent.
If you claim you support “local music”… then show it. Being dishonest is not showing it. The only reason people make lies that they support “local music” is so they can feel better for themselves and be loved by everyone aka attention seekers… pat themselves on the back.
I support “local music” greatly and I show it. I’m no fake like many are around here. I support all bands and musicians — I don’t lie about things.
I’m done posting on the blog for the day as I’m gonna get off and watch a movie or something. Have a good night!
