I think perhaps it may well reach a point where somebody comes up and says 'hey... if you let me dick about with your songs, I can make you sell so many more albums!'.

Well, the thing is, producers don't just focus on recording quality, they also often have a say in which songs make it onto an album, and how those songs are played on the album.  Basically, it's their job to smooth out the rough edges to make the album as sales-friendly as possible.  This is, in my opinion, wrong.  I don't really see any viable reason to have a producer that outweighs the fact that someone who isn't contributing to the band's sound has a say about what goes on the album.

Holyshit, I'm hungover.

i agree totally with that.  i was in a band when i was younger.  if some cunt twiddling dials tried to tell us what to put on our fucking record we wouldn't have been very happy.

also, i think that that's one of the nicest posts i've seen you make, dude.  you should be hungover more often.

sp2:
Tell that to my liver.  And my wallet.  Both suffered last night.  Plus, the bars last night were full of rejects who couldn't get tickets to the Alkaline Trio concert and then had to drink off the diappointment.  There were some really hilarious Hot Topic goths (one who was trying to dance or something to some Thrill Kill Kult I tossed in the jukebox) and a lot of gothcore chicks as well, which made me laugh oh so hard.

It's just funny when there are all these kids that are trying really really really really really hard to be punk but my musical tastes are more punk than they'll ever be, and I don't even dress the part.

I guess that's one thing going for hipsters.  If they dress like a hipster, they probably at least do care about the music.  I think that's mainly because no self-respecting person would think that dressing like a hipster is cool.

i am pretty sure that try-hards are present and amusing no matter where one lives.  it's like a universal constant.
