Music is Hard Really Resonates with the People

from Stereo Sanctity, Sept. 18, 2011:

One day, when a combination of laziness, cynicism and endless PR emails from try-hard indie bands causes me to give up doing a music blog, I think I might take everything down and just leave a blank page with a link to this song in the middle of it. It’s pretty cathartic.

(Hopefully that won’t happen soon though.)

(And hopefully you’ll conveniently forget I posted this when I get ‘round to plugging my own stuff again.)

(Oh, and, you can download all this band’s stuff for free here if you like.)

Added later, elsewhere:

The genius thing about this song is it cuts both ways – there are people in whose faces I’d dearly love to yell it, but at the same time I know there are probably legions who’d want to yell it right back at every musical thing I’ve ever played in, liked or been associated with. Kind of a universal cycle of cleansing music-sceney anger.

Ironic that I think the great thing about pop music is that it’s really easy, but… I get what he means I s’pose. Not urging bands to “improve” in a technical sense (I hope), but just to please, please try to be, y’know… better?
