People In the Music Industry Are Shitheads
The Velvet Rope is a bulletin board frequented by people in the music industry, mostly stupid fucking yuppies with their heads up their asses. I popped in their today because our site got a link from a thread about the best albums of the year so far. Someone actually wrote this and was serious:
In other People In the Music Industry Are Shitheads news, I had to talk to an anonymous woman in the industry out of Beverly Hills on the phone and she said, "Oh that's hot." I started laughing hysterically and realized that she was being dead serious. She wasn't amused. These are the kind of people that run MTV, Rolling Stone, Spin, Blender. They are all shitheads. If you are thinking of getting involved in the music industry and have a soul, please consider a career in construction or plumbing instead. Save yourself.
"The new Garbage CD "Bleed Like Me" is, thus far, the best album of 2005."

brian,
you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany than the music industry, perhaps excepting washington, dc, of course. because jobs in the field are so hot, major labels hire people from places like georgetown or yale, but despite thier fancy book learning, they are the most mediocre thinkers. even worse than a mediocre mind with a priveleged education is the same mind thinking they are "cool."

I have had several publicists for different sucky bands try to convince me on the phone that their band will "change your fucking life" . None of them did. Most music however, doesn't suck half as bad as the annoying people that try to promote them.

That's a fair warning, but I really think the music industry could use a swift kick up its arse. That's really the main reason I want to get back into it. I think that modern technology is really changing it for the better, though I doubt it will make people at MTV, Rolling Stone, SPIN, or Blender any less dumb.
