Firstly, YHALOTHAR. last.fm = epic fail for messing with their own formatting stuff. Hence, the repost. Go figure.

1. ‘surveys’, ‘top x questions/whatever’, ‘memes’, or other such material with similar ‘content’ infest the artist’s recent journals.

A transfer of symbols without a transfer of values, that’s what those ‘reading’ materials most signify. Boredom is no excuse for making trite observations about characteristics of so-and-so. At the very least there’s always the option of leaving the artist connections off for those who actually had something interesting to say. It’s almost always about original content. This journal is no different from the rest and that in itself should be a lesson for those who never knew better.

2. one retard polluting the shoutbox is enough to ruin them.

Two kinds of one, actually, the fan and the ‘hater’. The ‘hater’ for being ‘obviously’ what s/he is, and the fantard for needlessly glorifying them. Especially the ones who refuse to acknowledge imperfection’s reality; it comes hand in hand with lacking the necessary faculties and/or willpower for incisive cogitation. E-snarkiness is not that hard to detect, especially the tired old ones. Most people are still new to this internet socialization thingamajig, most presumably. Or just poor judges of character anywhere.

3. http://www.last.fm/charts .

Don’t delude yourself otherwise. A hundred thousand listeners give or take a few thousand spam scrobblers can’t be wrong. An unfunny example of emergent behavior in action. Besides, check the journal title. If you found yourself in this page from one of those listed there (how remote the possibility considering point 1) do the right thing and just accept the deal. And think about it, of course. Adroit observation of human behavior online and off helps. A lot.

--

These only mean that for every grim and frostbitten band with only 666 listeners at least one of them’s bound to share the music with all the wrong sorts of people who more often than not will only repeat the process to offensive degrees until the label of ‘sellout’ emerges due to the number of so-called ‘fans’ who simply ‘don’t get it’. Children and men-children, the lot of them. Thus, EVERY artist is overrated on last.fm. A transfer of knowledge without a transfer of values. ‘not getting it’ and ‘getting it but disagreeing with it either in whole or in part’ are mutually exclusive principles, that much is obvious.

---
A realization of futility won’t dull resolve if prime intent is to rise above it.

Also, because my motives are nigh unfathomable. Today is a relatively short one.

And it’s that time of the year again. Get yourselves some presents.

"Director and “pink film pioneer” Koji Wakamatsu is obviously one weird cat. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on in the black and white photos in the CD insert from this soundtrack to his 1970 cult film Shinjuku Mad, but naked girls covered in blood seem to be a recurring theme. As for the music on this 2008 reprint, it’s by the infamous Food Brain, a psych-free-jazz fusion improv supergroup featuring members of April Fool, Strawberry Path, Speed, Glue & Shinki and Golden Cups (no, I don’t know them either, that’s how freakin’ underground this shit is)."
