Morning Buzz: Metro Station, CMJ, Xander Singh

:: Hey, indie labels; you think you got it bad? EMI lost $1.2 billion last year.

:: Good list — 12 Late Night Thoughts About CMJ. Missing is “watching the one band you wanted to see all week and then having their set cut short by meatheads fighting.”

:: I admit it, I never listened to Metro Station. Until today. Glad to see I wasn’t really missing anything.

:: Thus sayeth Bob Lefsetz, “Albums are for fans. Singles are for newbies.”

:: I like: Xander Singh on West Side Sessions.

:: Video of Benjamin Weinman (Dillinger Escape Plan) doing some improv jam thinger.

:: Video of Dallas Taylor (Maylene and the Sons Of Disaster) talking tattoos.

    The video’s not working for me. Does Dallas have some smooth tatts?

    Hopefully you stoned an adulterer, a gay, and a pharmacist to death after you posted that, TDWP.

    So are the tattoos cool or not?

    anything cool about his tattoos is immediately negated by his vest, as well as the sounds that come out of his mouth.

    fail.

    note* i thought you were referring to the metro station dude.

    the same goes for dallas though, except for the vest part.

    “God says not to mark yourself”

    “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28).

    This bible verse is commonly used out of context. The important part is the “for the dead.”

    In those days, it was common to for people to cut/tattoo themselves, for a recently deceased loved one, to false gods as a sacrifice to ensuring their loved ones a place in heaven. This verse is dealing with the issue of worshiping false gods not tattoos.

    So is the drummer’s kit even hooked up to mics? It sounds like it’s completely electronic drums.

    In that Metro station video we all find out that neither of those guys can sing.

    Long hair skinny shirtless guy whispers all of his lines

    Fatty dress vest man uses an intolerable amount of vocal processing. Listen to the chorus you’ll hear what I mean.

    Bands. Autotune is lame. Learn to sing.

    I know its so tAlex. We don’t know for sure and we never will know what that verse really means.. Like is is only referring to what you said or to all times not to in general mark your body?
    The solution is if it doesn’t feel right don’t get a tattoo. It you think it’s okay, then go ahead and do it.

    P.S
    I don’t dislike any band just because of tattoo’s. Its not relevant to the music whatsoever. If i hated bands with tattoos then i wouldn’t like TDWP.

  36. On 12/22/08 8:29 PM, TDWP Fan said:

    Hey blation did TDWP take pot? Whatever about the tattoos. It’s not a issue I’m concerned about. I just wanted to see people’s thoughts on it.

  37. On 12/25/08 8:15 PM, Katie said:

    Do I really look like I’m 12? Because I’m not.
