I tell you, I get no respect. Did you know that there are nerds on the Internet who are, at this very moment- writing about this website negatively!? Apparently my scribes against the “independent” music scene have touched the nerds in a very uncomfortable area. I’ve always figured that the more negative response I receive the more good I am doing. I think it’s funny that I’m being called “retarded” after I called the nerds’ heroes retarded! It’s a cyclical name-calling match! I live for these Internet flame wars.
And now, a mix tape for you.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week opens and closes with some comedy from another great American icon (like myself) who didn’t get any respect: Rodney Dangerfield. In between, there are songs. As always, these songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
