It actually was Prince, he tried out a new persona for a while and it didn't pan out apparently.

Craigslist posted:9 Piece Funk Punk band from scratch This guy has been reposting ads for his funk punk group for, I think, over a year now. I don't think there's even a "we" involved here, I'm pretty sure it's just one guy who's desperate for someone to join his band and play his songs about "bugers" and "jizzem". It makes me so sad...

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/muc/4597457333.html Lordeflesh is seeking a bass player and female vocalist. The band combines Lorde's lyrics and Godflesh-style downtuned industrial metal/post-punk/noise. We already have a guitarist and drum machine. Female vocalist should yell, bark and groan more than sing. Slight insanity a plus. Other musical influences: Wire, Mission of Burma, Killing Joke, power electronics. Anyone else think this actually sounds awesome?

Man, being a musician all the time is exhausting. It's like, man, you just, you know? Sure is tough. But when life hands you lemons, play an instrument that's quickly becoming irrelevant, I say

Realizing my instruments only need to be relevant to me while dismissing most music as dumb kid hipster garbage is pretty much what keeps me alive. I'm only 24 but I can't wait to at least hit my 40s and be that grumpy old musician who hates everything.

I hate pop/top-40s and most mainstream music, because it's "mainstream garbage" but I also hate anything underground/indie/industrial because it's lovely, hipster noise. Basically, all music is horrible and I listen to a lot of it.

I'm talking a well-off looking dude arrhythmically and anemically scraping concrete with two empty water bottles - a performance which apparently was good enough that he had bowl in front of him for coins and poo poo

Any Guitar Center employees ITT? I'm curious as to how things work in Guitar Center and what kind of rules you may or may not have but wish you had. 1) How long are you willing to let people play music for? 2) To what extent are you willing to let people demo the products? Have things ever amounted to an entire stage setup in the corner of the speaker section? Like full blown band practice/performance complete with keyboard, DJ and singer? 3) Are people allowed to set up camp and play for change inside the store? Or do they need to beg outside? 4) What's the longest anyone has ever played for, before you lost your poo poo and threw them out/quit/assaulted them? Any stories would be appreciated. I feel like Guitar Center probably has just as much to offer as Wal Mart as far as it's customers are concerned. The other day, there was a guy playing a speaker. As in; sitting on top of it like a toilet (but with his trousers up) and banging on it with his hands, through his legs. I browsed for a solid hour and he didn't stop from the time I walked in to the time I left. I feel like mad people play at Guitar Center, looking to get discovered. cname fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Aug 18, 2014 |

I went in to get strings or other small stuff completely forgetting it was a weekend night. My girlfriend saw the incoming trainwreck and pulled me in. I remember there being a pudgy kid who couldn't have been older than 17 playing the absolutely fastest atonal/pentatonic licks he could, stoping in the middle of a phrase and looking around to see if anybody noticed him.

Spend all day walking around Guitar Center in a suit, with a brief case, looking to sign local talent. "Thing is, last opening act bailed at the last minute, so the venue wants a $250 deposit just to be sure you'll show up to perform. Once the show is over, you'll get $500 in return, so you'll be making $250 for yourself, if you're willing to proceed." Aspiring musicians are the most desperate, ignorant, gullible, drug-addled morons on the face of the earth. Most of which are living off their parent's income. cname fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Aug 19, 2014 |

You could even rope the store in to turning a blind eye if he also adds in, "but you gotta put down that Epiphone. See that Gibson over there? That's what they want to see when you show up. I mean, three or four shows and it's paid for.."

There was a story on the radio here about a guy and his girlfriend going to supertramp and hearing this annoying noise ruining the show. after several complaints the security guy points out it's coming from the guy who had a metronome/tuner left in his pocket.
