If for one minute you think you’re better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn’t know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.- Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)
Interviewing them next week, and I have to say, really excited.
I love this quote especially since so many people are ‘debbie downers’ on what is played on the radio, how people should dress at shows, or what music is popular. Let people dress how they want, let people listen to what they want. If it makes them happy, let them be happy, do not disrespect another human being by disrespecting and talking down about their latest pop sensation that makes them feel good.
When I was 14 I wore an Alanis Morissette shirt to her own concert, what has changed in the last 13 years that people are ‘not cool’ if they do that. I loved Britney when she came out, I am sure you did too, why hate on people for liking ‘Like a G-6’ song. Heck, I even like dancing around my apartment to it and my living is reviewing music.
Some people just like to get on a soapbox and disrespect others musical outlets. Those people have no real concept of what the music industry, fans, and music trends are really about.

Oh, Charlie Sheen.
Jake and I were quoting this on the train home last night and I was laughing my arse off.

Now, I guess MySpace had its day, but we try to keep an eye on the Facebook page, but I don’t know what the hell twitter or tumblr is. I read a lot of books so….I don’t know.- Matt Kelly from Dropkick Murphys
Quote from my interview with him. The more I type this up, the more I laugh. The more the interview goes on (35 min interview) the more off topic we get. Gotta slice and dice this interview into something comprehensible

Watched the legit Hangover II trailer today, had to screenshot this. So pumped for the not-meant-to-be, yet they did trend-set everyone saying they want a wolfpack, originaly wolfpack to come back. That was a mouthfull. ‘that’s what she said.’

Scamming Fans / Drugs / Rock&Roll
I was scheduled to interview Emarosa next week, now that this Jonny Craig scandal has come to light, I am betting that won’t be happening anymore.
Above is my article on the situation. I talk about Jonny Craig or someone posing as Jonny Craig allegedly scamming fans, musicians who are drug addicts that bounced back, and musicians who died from drug related instances.

Checking my google analytics I noticed someone google searched my full name + ‘Mike Posner Interview’ They went to my interview with Mike 5 times, and cruised around my articles for…25 minutes.
Who are you…let it be known because that somewhat creeped me out, yet flattered me you would spend that long reading my gibberish I somehow get paid for, and pass off as journalism.

Oops
The further I listen/type up my interview with Diddy-Dirty Money the more I realize how defensive they were. I asked if while recording they thought how they would put on a live show when 90% of their album has guest features.
They also got defensive when I asked about if the reasoning for putting out a certain music video (which is not even a single) was to showcase that the Dirty Money part had songs with them featured as main vocalists. In fact, they did not even fully answer that question because they went into a rant about how on the album they have tons of songs where Diddy takes a back seat, and vice versa.
My new tagline should be: Offending band members with bold questions since 2002.
