exclusive
Definition: unshared, restricted Synonyms: absolute, aloof, aristocratic, chic, choice, chosen, circumscribed, clannish, classy, cliquish, closed, complete, confined, country club, discriminative, elegant, entire, exclusionary, exclusory, fashionable, full, independent, licensed, limited, narrow, only, particular, peculiar, posh, preferential, private, privileged, prohibitive, restrictive, ritzy, segregated, select, selfish, single, snobbish, socially correct, sole, swank, total, undivided, unique, upper crust, whole
When I see a blog or site that uses the word exclusive a lot, as in “exclusive interview” or “exclusive remix,” I’m more than a little annoyed. Yes, you got the content first, that’s worth something I suppose. But herein lies my irritation, the whole idea is akin to that asshole on Perez Hilton who feels the need to leave “FIRST!!!!!!!” on every post (despite being the fifteenth person to write the same damn thing).
If you’re posting an “exclusive” track from a well known band, I say ‘So What!’ Please take my time, as a reader, and do something more worthwhile. Like find someone new to talk about or thinking up some interesting way to find out what makes your favorite musicians tick. Take a risk! Go into uncharted territory! But please, don’t just get permission from some publicist to be the first to share something with the internet is not getting you any respect, at least from me.

Would I love to have a Rosette Fascinator Headband? Yes. Yes I most certainly would. Lovely and retro.

“I could say something revolutionary like, “Major labels are dead! Thee underground shall rise!” but this is the truth: R&B and bubblegum pop will still fill the charts. Rock and metal will still be the prevailing voice of the arenas, stadiums and festivals. Indie rock will still be heard on car stereos and in nightclubs where social outcasts find love. Everything else in small doses, everywhere. You just have to find it.”

Cynical, but the dude has a point. And I happen to agree with him.

WePCTV: I Want My MP3 (Episode 1) (via WePCtv)
Muxtape 2.0, bitches! Justin speaks:
“With Muxtape, we found that a lot of people were using it to host music for their own bands, their own projects. If you want something that’s clean, that’s high-quality music, if you care about people hearing your music correctly and seeing it without advertisements and in a cleaner, better context, it’s a service to bands to do that.”

Angry music? - Yahoo! Answers
Using search to find things online is a way of life for me. I generally get what I’m looking for, a wikipedia article, a video link but sometimes, 1 out of 1,000 searches, I find something else. Something BETTER than what I was looking for. This time? I was searching for “angry music.” I should’ve known that Yahoo! Answers would prodive a nice little view into what aural travistries most of America recommends to others classified as “angry music.”
Music like:
- Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach
- “Follow You Home” Nickelback
- “Stupify” Disturbed
“Bodies” Drowning Pool - “Bad Religon” Godsmack
- “Mudshovel” Staind
Other selected comments and recommendations include:
“Whitney Houston from Just Whitney. (A mandatory when you get soooo angry ;) )”
“I would not listen to skipknot or bands like that cuz all their stuff is gross and angry. Too typical. these are angry….and skillful”
“for me [ im 13 ] i love to jst listen to stuff that makes me feel like i’m being helped or supported or sumthing when im really pissed off about sumthing. i listen to a LOT of billy talent, three days grace and some simple plan and green day. my personal favourite [ if u can depict the real meaning in the songs] are Fallen leaves, Pins and Needles, This Suffering and The Ex [billy talent] Home [three days grace] One odd one out being Hold on by Gooc Charlotte”
“try listening to insane clown posse, twizted, slipknot, etc…”
Helllllooooooo 2001!
