GRRRRRRR!!!
There is a threat facing civilization today, greater than any we have faced before. Greater even than Popstars Live. I"m talking about the rise in popularity of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the inability to play the thing. Every time some bunch of hair-product wearing, pimply-faced fuck-sticks want to increase their chances with da ladeez, out comes the acoustic accompaniment to some slow paced dirge about teen love.
That would be bad enough if they could actually play their instruments; but when they have been raised on them fandangled e - lectrical gee-tars with their lower action (meaning the strings are closer to the fretboard) and lighter guage strings, coupled with an innate lack of application, you have all the makings of a disaster. None of these pricks is capable of making a chord change without dragging the fingers of their left hand all over the strings, making that annoying (really, really annoying) squeaking sound, like they've got a chorus of mouse backup singers.
These knob-gobblers are getting about forty years wages* per song; admittedly most of the money comes from spoiled pre-pubescent girls, but they get their money from real people, so you would think that they could at least take the time to learn how to do the job properly. But noooo, they just commit outrage after outrage, little girls lap it up and everybody else lets it slide. No more; we must rise up, brothers and sisters!
We must destroy this threat now!
Destroy it before it destroys music as we know it!
Kill the bad guitarists!
Kill their agents!
And anybody else you don't particularly like!
Or not, I don't mind.
* Real persons' wages.

No talent hacks slipping into doleful, faux-feeling dirges burns my brain. Capital punishment is not too savage for taste exploitation crimes.
Luckily I'm off to right the balance. I'm seeing The Who tomorrow night.

As someone who lives with such an offender... I AGREE! Though in my case, a severe maiming is called for. (The in-laws wouldn't be very happy with me.) -- Ren, Spreegirl.net
You have an album!!
I want to know more!!!
Who is the singer on the 'Up to my brin in rim" song, by Squirming Gerbil Death from the album Here Come Eleven Nuns?
Tell me it's Mic Conway.
Just to add to that random post.
Sorry, but your blog is one of the few things that comes up on the amazing interweb when I type in squirming gerbil death. even Mic Conway's web page disavows all knowledge. http://www.micconway.com/micconway.html
I know! Shocked me too!
Could be the lyrical content of the song?
Not even the god-lke wikipedia knows!
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
