there are mpgs with them shouting "attention: you have bad taste in music. Please turn around while you still can"
they interview people: "why are you here, you dont look like the XXXXXXfan type" "well, i got dragged here by her *points*" "you poor soul"

The more clips I see, the more I think this guy is already 'employed' by downhillbattle.org

i love how that applies to this audiobook chapter i have from "the battle for your mind" (a book about brainwashing tactics, not the looney hyped tactics hollywood use for movies like the matrix, but the real tactics used by governments and televangelits)
i quote: "nobody in the history of brainwashing has ever realized he or she has been brainwashed"

Thank you for the compliment. I've been an Anti-RIAA advocate since I discovered my favorite rock band online: the J-rock band "the pillows." They beat the crap out of anything on the radio, that's for sure.
My favorite quote is the new Anti-STAIND law:
Any review of a music performance, whether it be a music recording, or music conducted in a live concert setting, may not refer to said performance as "angst ridden."
The words "angst" and "ridden" may appear in written form no closer than six words apart.
They must not reside closer than 10 words apart in any spoken sentence-excluding the words "uh," "eh," and "ya know." And they must never juxtapose one another.

yeah.. japanese musicians still know how to have fun with their music. A lot of stuff is manufactured over there too, but even their manufactured stuff still reflects a human soul behind it, and is far more inventive.
my favorite piece is simple but brilliant in that it doesnt entertain you directly, but indirectly by other people's reactions. Basically, it sounds like someone pitched 12 cats into a helium filled booth and then set their mews to eurobeat.
The faces and looks are priceless.. you can imagine their thoughts "wtf is that?" "omg my ears" "that music is legal?"

Japan is just now climbing out from under the rock....
... and the meantime the visible USA stagnates.

the pillows are NOT RIAA. They used to be, but they're leader, Sawao, now has his own record label (called Delicious Label,) which he uses to produce himself and other artists.

You didn't see the Manchurian Candidate, I take it.
Laurence Harvey shot his brain washing mama Angela Lansbury in the forehead.

I'm not sure what his beef is against Hoobastank. I mean, they're overplayed but I think they're decent.
Not worth shelling out $80 to see in concert maybe...

If we like people who take action here, then maybe we should encourage members and readers here to take action. We can call it a "call to action."
