Fun Stuff > BAND
Ladytron's manager is a punk-ass!
jordinyc:
OK ok ok, I knoooooooow this prolly isn't the place to talk about an electro band like Ladytron, but the comic is partly about musics and it's more popular than it wants to admit, so I figure .. what the heck.
Have you heard? Weebl's Stuff ( http://weebls-stuff.com/) has been ordered to take down their parody of Ladytron's music video "Destroy Everything You Touch". WTF? That makes no sense. It's got a link to their site (http://ladytron.nettwerk.com) , it keeps the fans humming that tune and keeps the band on people's lips. It's what's called free publicity via parody, and this parody doesn't make them look bad or devalue them in any kind of way.
According to Weebl, the guy who ordered them to take it down is their manager, "Tim," so I don't think the band even knows the parody existed (remember U2 and Negitivland?).
Is it me or are we living on crazyplanet?
squawk:
I guess.
Your first paragraph confuses me though. Ladytron is pretty awesome! We love Ladytron! or something

You lose, better luck next time.

I quite like Ladytron. This doesn't bother me in the slightest, however.

That's kind of a shame, 'cause fan videos like that really can introduce bands to different audiences. Hell, I can personally say that I wouldn't have checked out mclusky if I hadn't bee exposed to "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues" by the sweary kittens animation, and I've been an ardent supporter of mclusky and FotL ever since.
