ever since seeing the outback commercial, i can't stop singing those terrible new lyrics. "let's go to outback tonight, life will still be there tomorrow."
i still listen to of montreal but they are sellouts...but not that much. everyone has indiepop on their commercials. there was even a thread on the list. and yay for all of your picks for 'holiday' (had to do that, the pc police would get me if i said christmas) songs. i was making a cd for all of my friends as a christmas gift, and i ran out of songs at around five, so i dropped by here, and voila, so thanks a million! gold star for tullycraft for actually updating their blogishthing with mp3s of the day!
I sold the three Of Montreal albums I owned last week. I wouldn't say it was solely because they sold their souls to corporate america, but that definitely pushed me over the edge.
I think we all know which side Weezy is on in the Kulturkampf.
well, i think letting them use your song is alright, if you want to become famous and corporate and suckish and pissy and stuff, but letting them change the words is a no-no. i don't believe in people selling their souls, but if that's what they really want, you can't stop them, right? and you can't just change your mind about if you like a song or not if they do that. if you liked a song before a band sold out, you like that song after the band sells out. you might not be to happy with the band, but you can't change your opinion of a song because of what the band did. and same with liking the album. if they go on to make another album, and it sounds different, you know, like it was made so people would buy it, not so that the band liked it, that's compromising the band's integrity, and if it sounds a way you don't like, fine, you don't have to like that. but you can't change your mind about a song just because what a band did.

Oh no, Weezy, that's not what I meant at all. :) I was more, teasingly, analogizing your "PC Police" to Bismark. My apologies for the ambiguity!
