to get girls?

Exactly...

i know how!!!! start a noise band, leave an amp with three distortion pedals on for like 8 hours everyday for a week, cut it up, release each second of it on a different format, press two of each, sell it as a super limited edition and say you are influenced by merzbow, wolf eyes and prurient but more hardcore and you're set!

nicfit 09.28.2006 03:55 PM

and have some nice packaging for your releases too.

Everyneurotic 09.28.2006 04:05 PM

nah, you can do 3" cd-rs with single color spray paints and paper sleeves.

Doing something for the sole purpose of becoming famous is stupid. Fame should be a by-product of something worthwhile. You don't go eat at a restaurant because you want to have a shit.

Did you make that up yourself? That's awsome. I love the metaphor, or whatever it's called in english.

Hahahaha. I'm not saying I want to famous, just that it is easy if you cash in on the latest trends.

jon boy 09.29.2006 02:27 AM

being famous is like being in prison. just ask the royal family.

!@#$%! 09.29.2006 11:34 AM

i know how you can get famous julian

stick a carrot in your ass (the tip only) and then chew it in, crunchy bite by cruchy byte. now here is the imporant thing: MAKE SURE TO GET IT ON VIDEO. get good closeups. and mic the scene well so that you get every crunchy crunch on the audio track. then you simply put the video up on myspace WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS clearly visible in every frame.

guaranteed to bring you worldwide popularity in a couple of days. you'll be more famous that tubgirl.

The reason I bumped this thread...

For the new scissor shock album, I made up 50 promo copies. The actual album is going to be limited to 50 copies, so I made up 50 promos, which had the art copied from a printer with some neatly-handwritten text for the tracklisting, album title, etc. You know, not a super professional thing but actually quite time consuming and costly when you consider I mailed out 50 of these to places like Bulgaria and shit.

Anyway, the response has been quite good, a lot of people like the new album..

But I've gotten one email from someone saying they wouldn't review it because there's no packaging.. okay, fair enough.. then I got a review from vitalweekly saying how the music was great but the packaging sucked so they weren't going to say anything about it until I sent them a well packaged release.

Now in all seriousness, when did noise and related genres become all about the packaging? My music has always been about music and nothnig more -- I don't give a fuck if it's packaged in a condom or whatever, that's the last thing on my mind. However, the more I started thinking about it, the more I noticed noise releases over the years........ "this is some good feedback stuff but MAN THE PACKAGINGI S CRAZY" I always see reviews like that, never noticed it before.

I'm going to do an experiment wherein I release something in the craziest fucking package ever and release a CD of silence and see how many good reviews I get.

Make sure to package it in a condom. And if you don't find a condom large enough:
