Maybe its just me, but I get really pissed off when the music I used to take shit for listening to is now hip. Good example, the current Dockers ad, with Tones On Tail Go for the music. Now I would bet that maybe 1 in 100,000 people have ever heard this song before, much less ever heard of Tones On Tail. First there was Bauhaus, Pete quit the band, so they became Tones on Tail, after that Glen got the boot. David took over bass and they became Love and Rockets. Fuck you, Johnny come lately. Know your history. Now this music is becoming more and more trendy, now just about everyone from Gen X claims to have loved this music back in high school. Yeah, right.
You know what I think the deal is? The people my age are now getting into the position where we are the biggest influence in the workplace. I would bet that the ass that came up with this ad was one of those sensitive artist types that got his ass handed to him daily back in high school. You know, had the crazy hair, wore all black, you usually saw him running for his life? Now hes a sell out. Iggy Pop "Lust for life" (about drug use) for Carnival cruise line, Tones on Tail "Go" for Dockers pants. Whats next, The Smiths How soon is now? for a cologne (thats sure to get you laid!)? The Cure Boys dont cry for Visine? Bow Wow Wow I want candy(a song about cocaine) for M&Ms? Gary Numan In Cars... wait a minute; I think that one has been used....
How about Nine Inch Nails Closer (I want to fuck you like an animal) for Viagra?

i don't think there's anything we can do against trends setting on OUR turf....My love of music has taken me to listen to some pretty wild and weird music and recently i was baffled cos some young californian band quote Faust and Neu as their influences...Even for europeans that is a loooong way from everyday's music..I tought it was stealing MY memories
so, well, if it's an artist i like, I'm glad he got some doe: i know this life and you don't get pay everyday......If it's an artist who's music i dislike, it makes me sarcastic and hate the music bizz even more ...
i hope you''re well. Today's assignment for you will be to go out and seek for a date in a place you don't usually go to. report me to at once.
