reading some of the bloggers inane SXSW posts reminds me of why i dropped out of journalism school.
A band can not be a lo-fi band. Their record can be lo-fi but when they are playing that music live it is in no way lo-fi. These terms no longer have clear meaning. Man, I really love Elvis’ lofi shit for Sun Records. Fuck you, die.
THIS. “lo-fi”. Stop it people.
Honestly reading most SXSW blog posts has made me reconsider going next year. Just seems like a huge clusterfuck passed off as an excuse to “break” new acts.
Bands cannot be rocks, they are people, not rocks. How can they be a rock band when they are people.
They are labels idiots, not literal descriptions of the bands sounds, an associative word to lump them into a category with other bands of similar sound.
