--- Quote from: ASturge ---Problem is, 90% of my towns local bands are terrible.

That's pretty much the case everywhere. It's even the case in the mainstream, although mainstream shit bands are just corporate shills instead of being unlistenable (For the most part. I think Coldplay are unlistenable, but there are certainly folks here who would disagree.*). It's just harder to find that 10% of the bands that aren't terrible..it takes more work. But the potential benefits for supporting the good local bands are much higher than the benefits for supporting a horrible mainstream band.
*Then again, if you don't think Coldplay are unlistenable, you're wrong
JLM:
I know all about the importance of being local.
--- Quote ---Morning-room at the Manor House.
[Gwendolen and Cecily are at the window, looking out into the garden.]
Gwendolen. The fact that they did not follow us at once into the house, as any one else would have done, seems to me to show that they have some sense of shame left.
Cecily. They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance.
Gwendolen. [After a pause.] They don’t seem to notice us at all. Couldn’t you cough?
Cecily. But I haven’t got a cough.
Gwendolen. They’re looking at us. What effrontery!
Cecily. They’re approaching. That’s very forward of them.
Gwendolen. Let us preserve a dignified silence.
Cecily. Certainly. It’s the only thing to do now. [Enter Jack followed by Algernon. They whistle some dreadful popular air from a British Opera.]
Gwendolen. This dignified silence seems to produce an unpleasant effect.
Cecily. A most distasteful one.
Gwendolen. But we will not be the first to speak.
Cecily. Certainly not.
Gwendolen. Mr. Worthing, I have something very particular to ask you. Much depends on your reply.
Cecily. Gwendolen, your common sense is invaluable. Mr. Moncrieff, kindly answer me the following question. Why did you pretend to be local?
Algernon. In order that I might have an opportunity of meeting you.
Cecily. [To Gwendolen.] That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not?
Gwendolen. Yes, dear, if you can believe him.
Cecily. I don’t. But that does not affect the wonderful beauty of his answer.
Gwendolen. True. In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity is the vital thing. Mr. Worthing, what explanation can you offer to me for pretending to be local? Was it in order that you might have an opportunity of coming up to town to see me as often as possible?
Jack. Can you doubt it, Miss Fairfax?
Gwendolen. I have the gravest doubts upon the subject. But I intend to crush them. This is not the moment for German scepticism. [Moving to Cecily.] Their explanations appear to be quite satisfactory, especially Mr. Worthing’s. That seems to me to have the stamp of truth upon it.

There is not ascene on the isle of wight, and this is not juat fucking moaning, there really is NOTHIUGN. Just fucking SHIT emo fuckers, who cAN GO suck a chuff for all I care, really. I wouldn't su[pport half of them if they paid me in anal sex. The only decent bands don't even have any fuckiung fans here because no-one oin this seagulls arsehole of a blighted isle has anything approcahing taste, decency, reason or fucking talent, except the good bands. Overlord for instance. We had like one pretty fucking good band in the seventies, Beggars Farm, but they split up in the eighties and half of thm are a motorhead tribuyte band now, but they hardly play any gigs on the island itself because, as I said NO TASTE. We need more fcking folk metal down here because folk metal is just far afar adfar fucking better than anything you boring little wankpots listen to.
happybirthdaygelatin:
Seriously fucking good points made here. The town I use to live in was small-ish, 18 thousand. It still had a pretty vibrant little scene and I just found out it still has a couple bands amongst all the kids trying to sound like Fat Mike that are decent considering an almost lack of culture in the town.
