Anyway I can't run with psychologist guise anymore because of my dumb spelling mistake, so I'm out of here.
Apolodies to everyone I've insulted, I'm certain you're all nice people. You're right, I do assume different personalities to bag people on the internet. The truth is it helps me write songs, and most of my songs are about NZ musicians (it's a theme central to my life - if I was a computer programmer, I'd write songs about that).
Grant Mansion.
Man, this website is littered with your gags:
//Oops that reads rather bad. Obviously I don't mean he's here 'doing' Michael Fay's Daughter. I mean working on her record.
Mr Humourking!
Whoops, psychologist. Ok I'm not a psychologist, I can't even spell it.
It's not your fault that your not very informed about mental health, but as it happens, many people working in the mental health field (from accountants to therapists) are or have been mental health service users themselves. It makes sense for people with a history mental illness to work in this area for all kinds or reasons that are hopefully obvious to you. With support and medication, people who are suffering or have once sufferred from serious mental illness can work normal jobs. Funny eh Mr Comedian!
I am a phycologist and therefore I cannot practice if I've had any history of mental illness.
On the indentity issue - the internet is a place of annonimity, if one prefers it. People can share their ideas freely without concern about implicating their actual selves. It's a pretty liberating from of communication. I still don't know who you are, where you live, your job, or even your name. You'll no doubt rush to tell me because their probably very 'important'. You on the other hand see the internet as place where you can further extend your desire for importance - a place your ideas must be married to your indentity, otherwise what's the point? Who will know who I am and how important I am? I don't think you're a nobface because you prefer to reveal yourself on the net, I'm just defending my position on the identity point.
I do however think you are a nobface for other reasons.
I work with absolute musical monsters, almost on a daily basis. People with no hope in hell of ever becoming 'important'. Typically, my clients have mental illnesses, sometimes physical disabilities. So I guess I mix with the 'heavyweights' of the unimportant and forgotten musical world. Are your musical heavywieghts more important than my musical heavywieghts? All your attitudes so far imply that this is the case. And to answer your question, based on the attitudes expressed in your comments, yes you are condescending and do look down on people.
Man, why do actual band members get involved in these discussions, it's SO annoying. All I want to do is have a good old diss of an album and then the fucking lead singer turns up all with all hurt feelings and shit. Can't they just observe from a distance? Don't they know it's not a good look to go on and on about how they believe in their music and how great they think it is. Can't they just write with pseudonyms like everyone else, and have a decent fight about it, pen name to pen name?
This is a distaster, I might even go and buy the record, I feel like shit now..... no... I can't buy the record. Perhaps I'll get in out from the library if it makes it to the library, I ring the library today and ask them to order it.
As for my idenity, I am happy to reveal that - I am Geoff Workman and I'm an American record producer.
Ok the ............dot dot dot in... between ..the... words... remark was a cheap shot, and saying your album was like pooh was just an extension of the restroom post - I'm afraid you guys left yourself wide open for that dumb gag. But the rest of was I said was simply opinion.
Well he mostly got my goat up by starting his post with 'You know something,'.
Sorry? where's the irony?. Or is it an Alainis Morrisettey kind of irony?
That's great you feel flattered. I rip the shit out of your band, I feel good - you read it and feel flattered, you feel good. Everybody feels good! I can get heaps more worked up how terrible your band is, and in theory, you'll get more flattered. C'mon, lets get worked up, where do I find some Recliner lyrics?
You're right....I do hate your band.....do you also speak with....... big pauses between your phrases?......are they there so I can digest...... the importance of your..... words......or...is...it.....because.....you're......reallly......upset.........that...I...dissed...your band...
Mmm, Recliner - Restroom. Someone who leans back on the toilet and pushes out an enormous turd of an album.
Huh? I'm lost. Umm, but it's pretty obvious they're both fakes, and probably the same person.
Ah well maybe I was wrong about it being a completely christian organisation, I just got that vibe from it when I looked at the best song catagory.
Not to mention that the 'Independant music awards' are hosted by some dodgey christian American website..
I know this is all a bit mean, but if your gonna talk up yourselves in such an overt way, be prepared to have it slammed back down to earth.
Perhaps you should simply let your album find it's own way through the marketplace without these ridiculous advertising statements - they just don't ring true.
Yeh 'wicked' - an extremely dreary song with an overstated and pompous video to match.
I think he (they) mean that he is both fake producers. Do you mean that he is only one of the fake producers? What's Nobsville?
Hey, wait a minute, are you me as well?
