Just pick up your instrument and let it play you and see what comes out.

Does this piss you off as much as it does me? I have a friend who used to live in LA and was in some band called Amity, and they toured Warped Tour and stuff. Now he is here and he wants us to start a band, and he's all about starting some dance electro-clash band because he thinks that will sell well. I told him I have no interest in making that music, and he said that he didn't either, but we could make money doing it (even that is doubtful in my opinion). He would also talk about this guitarist he knew who left this pretty decent band to play guitar for Ashley Simpson and how cool that is, and I pointed out to him that it wasn't cool. Of course he goes back to the money thing, saying how it IS cool cause he is raking it in.
