What do you think the 12 year old girls do all day?

Come to terms with periods?
Quote: Winterlight @ July 20 2008, 9:08 PM BSTMaybe not, but why do you need to make sure everyone knows that you 'know' you're a mess.
I can't resist the opportunity to take the piss out of myself. It's an Englishman's prerogative.

I'd, er . . . I'd rather not say. (cough-cough)
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 9:08 PM BSTIts about having self respect for yourself as an artist Aaron. There are ways to get your music out there-I think through The Mail is a pretty tawdry way to go about it.
Ah, so it's coming out now. It's not that it's a newspaper, it's that the paper is The Daily Mail.

No, any paper; but they did pick a bad one.

DaButt's Guide to Maintaining Artistic Integrity (While Slowly Starving)
* Release your albums on indie labels that refuse to take part in the capitalistic schemes of marketing or distribution.
* Refuse to play your songs on inherently evil commercial radio stations.
* Never play a show on a tour or at a venue that's sponsored by a corporation
Simple, really, as long as you're happy with selling 200 copies of your new album and playing shows in front of 12 people at the neighborhood dive bar. And you might even be able to afford enough gasoline to drive to the next gig!

I thought they were the same thing.

Yeah, still sort of assuming something from what I said that isn't there though. I have no problem with so called 'selling out'. Do what you want, I just happen to not like the idea of a band giving away their new album through a paper. And McFly, and Prince, and whoever else has done it so far, isn't one of these struggling, minor bands that you're talking about-they're huge.
Bands can do what they like, whatever they want; I just dislike this particular idea. I am very sorry!
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 8:44 PM BSTThe Stipes are certainly different to other plain old Blues Rock bands, they came at it from a different angle.
Is that Michael of REM?
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 10:09 PM BSTSmart arse.
That's what Michael Stipe said.
This homophobia was brought to you by Persil.
Is he a bummer?
Quote: Aaron @ July 20 2008, 10:13 PM BSTIs he a bummer?
Who, Matthew Stott? Ask him, he's only above me . . . As long as he's not behind me . . .
Yeah, Stipe is a homosexual.
A big one.
