So there's this band from Delaware, the Weatherlight, that have kind of been pissing me off. Check out their Myspace. I mean, being like "shallow" I guess, looking at that you'd think wow that must be some hot shit new band. But like, too bad they've only posted one song ever, right? I'm talking they've had this thing up since the summer with one song. Banners, cool HTML trickery, a fucking SPONSOR (?! how do you sell out with barely a name?!). Like, is it wrong of me to hate on a band's Myspace? If it is, I don't think their music is so hot either. The parts seem like the were copied and pasted over and over in pro-tools and because they have a girl singer, they'll never ever be able to live down comparisons to Paramore. They're a pop punk band with a girl vocalist, what would you expect? I knew Mike (er "Michael" as I guess he's known now) for a little while from hanging out around the gayrange...yeah. He's a tool. He's got the snake-bite to prove it. Dude's fucking Myspace display name used to be "I'm a Male Model." I'm an ego-maniac but at least I'm pretty sure I have substance... Anyway, I took it upon myself to tell me how I felt. Here it is, complete with grammatical errors typical of a Myspace message...
Subject:
your band
Body:
is soulless. you guys are to real music as big industry capitalist monopolizers were to workers in the early 1920s. first, you've been trying to be the next big thing without having any THING. you've had one song up ever yet your myspace is covered with crap that suggests otherwise (i.e. professional photographs, dropdown menus, references to your "fans", clothing sponsorships)...you guys have sold out before even getting off the fucking ground! "join us!" join what? what kind of movement are you going to start with fucking remedial pop punk redundancies? it's all been done before...oh wait, your lead singer is a girl. i guess thats diffe...nevermind, you guys will never ever be able to live down comparisons to paramore. good luck with that. i don't hear any "heart" in your music, just the same-old thing that is destined to be popular because delaware teenagers are sheep that gravitate to one fucking sound and one fucking scene. the success you gain with your fake music will be just that: fake.
Let me know if I am out of line...
p.s. Real update later...
