LPX -v- the 125, the 145 and the Rest of the World Inc.
Quite a short one!! This has been playing on my nerves for a few hours and once again I’m probably letting my bad temper get the better of me, but there are occasions where this happens.
To a couple of particulars – you can sprout all the pun-afflicted bullshit you want, while maintaining that there are a suitable number of folk around to appreciate your quick fire wit and subtle put downs – I’m sure you will all high-five each other when the back of your latest subject is turned and oh, do I wish I was part of that love-in.
For the folk who take such professional pleasure in taking lumps out of myself and other persons from the non-rock/pop/linear music scene, please let me direct you towards the hill that looks down on the youth that you so desperately miss, so that we may gingerly push you over the side. Life has moved on somewhat since 1991 – it’s just a shame you stopped before time did.
At no point in my life have I ever professed a genius of any kind – I am clever, but that is all. Although I have smatterings of musical intelligence that I employ to the best of my ability, the weight of knowledge that I wish I possessed but do not have greatly outweighs any tricks that I produce. At times I am also rash, selfish and say things out of turn, but when I speak at these moments I tend to mean what I say – rarely do I do considered and thought out. Public relations is not something I’ve ever been strong at.
Here’s a point that few people talk about in music… I enjoy what I do!! What I (try to) do is not purely functional – it doesn’t exist for the sheer hell of existing, but at times various people have made life beyond trying and I’ve nearly cracked. I’ve very little time for chin-stroking and not much patience for the attitude of art for arts sake. I am no subtle imitator of previous exponents of works and the use of certain equipment has me “type-cast” forever. More the pity…
Now get out of my way please, I have work to do!! It’s just a shame the people that this is aimed at don’t read this, so it’s all rather pointless really.
However, I will never apologise for my thoughts and beliefs and those who feel that I’ve treaded on their feelings can disappear for all I care.
