Wow.... What inhalant were you using when listening to this ungodly mess... My kids could beat chop sticks on shoe boxes repeatedly while screaming the Barney theme song and make a better sound....

I was ready for this comment. Hey, if you say so - but I'm serious about my music, all joking aside, (afterall, I'm a musician myself & I say that without feeling guilty) which I'm sure everyone already knows - I'd buy an album by Boredoms (I truly see the creativeness and talent of them - altho some of their stuff I like better than others... & I don't do it for shock factor, as several probably view my tastes and me as person as pretentious) , whereas I wouldn't buy an album of an interpretation of the Barney theme song (I can't see where the creativeness and talent in that would be - nevermind hating the Barney theme song). Something like chopsticks to a Barney songalong would hardly expand my mind, or help me feel better or expound present mood... it would irritate me, just as Boredoms apparently (no surprises) irritate you.

To get serious, in these past several weeks, I've been in two car accidents, my band of more than 4 years broke up, and my last grandparent died. I've been having a rough (un)pinic. I go to music to keep me going, especially with less and less tangible friends month by month.

I'm amazed by Boredoms and the power of what it takes to orchestrate what they do. The concert is without doubt gonna be worth going to, and will make me feeeeeeeeel gooooood. ...I'm hoping. I'm proud I have the capacity to enjoy music - no inhalant needed. When it comes to music, I get easily offended. I'm aware of this and sorry. I like what I like tho. Calling it ungodly will hurt my feelings, but not change my tastes.

Ian pushed me to say something. He should have been quiet and I wouldn't have even looked at the links. Haha... Obviously my comment was over exaggerated for comedic purposes.

Sorry to hear about all the stuff you are going through.

Bruv, I'm sorry as well. I've had a lot bottled up. You didn't have any idea what's going on so it's ok. I shouldn't have even probably mentioned it for sympathy. Hey, we all experience tough times. I venture to say you have.. without even really knowing you. You were pushed a bit to say something in response to the music since your name was mentioned.. that's not Ian's fault.. I take responsibility. I already expected nonacceptance, but I should've been more able to handle the non accepting comment, if I was gonna go ahead and exploit that band and those videos - I did afterall not really like the latter 2 songs myself anyway - and was comedic in a way on my part and maybe on the borderline of entrapment.. It's actually more of their stuff like the first song that I like - without the wackiness. The latter two are just for fun and lightheartedness. I have to learn to let things be said and not let it bother me. We all have the same right of freedom. Tones are hard to bring out in writing so I guess I took it harsher than you meant for it be. If you said the same comment to me face to face, maybe it would have just been let go and dismissed straight away. Anyway, thanks for the apology.
