What he said. I'm thrilled that folks I admire are
making some money outta the machine - i can't help but
wish it was a different machine, but there you go.
I'm sure the seemingly innocuous Targets and so forth
that have featured music i like in their commercials
are equally dirty, at some level, so there's probably
no point in making distictions: you either take the
big check, or you don't. Selfishly, and somewhat
hypocritically, i'm cool with the shazam! doing that
if it lets em make more of the music i like, since i
don't seem to be able to rouse sufficient numbers of
my slack ass friends to go out and see them when they
come to town to let em earn it the HONEST way - good
old rocknrollin'.
Hell, if we get another record outta the deal, i'll
toast adolph himself with his noxious watery brew - i
can't promise i'll be able to hold it down, of course.

np: replicants - anyone else hear this? a
self-indulgent little project from Ken Andrews and co,
of Failure, On and now Year of the Rabbit, entirely of
covers...the Cinnamon Girl and the Just What I Needed
are fairly true to form, but the Silly Little Love
Song/Dirge must be heard to be believed. Some songs
don't fare well when given the Failure treatment,
that's for shore.
