R.I.P. Deacon
Current mood:  sad
When I think of Deacon, I think back to AMP, Nov 18, 2005. Early in the night he and I were talking about music, and he tells me he likes "techno, real techno." And I think, "you're too young to know what real techno is, they don't even play that at parties anymore." But all I say to him is, "well if you like real techno, you're gonna love Jerry[ Abstract]'s set later tonight," not really sure whether he will or not. A couple hours later, Jerry's spinning, and I remember to go find Deacon, and he was groovin! Eyes half closed, bouncing up and down like he was riding the waves of music. I just look at him and ask, "so what do you say?" He smiles at me and replies, "this is just how I love it...hard, banging, and groovy!" I thought to myself, "I gotta make sure this kid is at all my parties from now on...that way I'l be sure that at least one person there is enjoying himself. Deacon, man, April 8 will be A Memorial Party for you.

Laugh with me at these loser "Bands."
Category: Music
Anyone who looks at my profile for more than half a second will notice the obvious dis to contemporary rock bands and the general state of the rock industry.
As if to reinforce my belief that rockers are not just out of touch, but dumb these bands continually send me friend requests. They are smart enough to figure out that I am a promoter, but for some reason they are not smart enough to figure out that not only do I not promote rock acts, but that I actively make fun of their whole industry.
And yet, the requests keep coming. In my continuing efforts to "mock rock," I would now like to give these so-called "bands" a little free publicity. Enjoy it, guys, it's probably the most fame you're ever going to get without going on a crime spree. And now...
Adam Mackler's Collection of Lame-O MySpace Bands.
Tourist
review coming soon
The promotional hype for this band describes them as an "authentic classic-rock style band." Translation: "we are totally unoriginal in cocept and sound." Not only do they attempt to imitate the sounds of 1964 with high-school-quality guitar solos, but they successfully duplicate that era's level of recording technology, it sounds, by recording themselves playing live in one take with one microphone in the middle of the room. Expect these guys to be taking the wedding-circuit by storm any day now.
The Bastard Sons of Slayer
What do they sound like? I have no idea. There's no songs on their profile. I'm guessing their fans are the sort that choose their favorite bands by their name.
Fear Train Caravan
Three-chord rock is so played out, so where can you go from there? Yes, it's one-chord rock. That's what it sounds like at least until they get to the chorus of "Patriot Actor," the first song that starts playing when you check out this band that I couldn't distinguish in a blind taste test from any other band on this list. Did anyone get any farther into this drivel? Write in and let me know!
Orange Jumpsuit
I was ready for an orange straightjacket after this thoroughly unoriginal attempt at metal or something. They have four songs on their myspace jukebox, but I am suspicious that three of them are actually the same song. Actually, I should give credit for originality where credit is due, but frankly, the sort of originality I'm looking for does not include singing out of tune.
Gebular
The drummer of this band is the reason they invented drum machines: drum machines can't get drunk before going into the studio. Are these guys white trash? Their bass player is named Clint Mullet. Nuff said.
Bending Spoon
The profile for this band lists five members. Either one of them is singing and the other four each have one of the strings of a guitar, or possibly it's one guy singing and playing guitar and the other four are dancing around on the stage. If anyone figures this out, let me know.
Anthem
At least these guys aren't rock, so they don't sound like all the other bands. But what are they? They say reggae, but I'm not sure I agree with that. If they ever made it into Tower (doubtful) I think they'd be somewhere in easy listening.
