ego-surfing

It seems that my three most popular quotes are:

• Sanity is like money; you should just have enough to get by.  Any more and you turn into a freak.
• Pretty, smart, sane: Pick two.
• If you don't use emacs, you're a pathetic, mewling, masochistic weakling and i can't be bothered to convert you.

The first one i really like, the second is a cheap hack, and the third is so over the top, but that's probably why people like it.

Yeah. I know nothing about real music. I didn't just spend a week in Austin for SXSW seeing a bunch of bands you've never heard of. Cool, thanks for the tip!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

fucking hell, kid, smug, pompous goddamn indier-than-thou fuckheads like you are a big part of the reason i quit doing music for a living. it was just too damn embarrassing being an obscure musician when i couldn't fucking stand my own fans. get a grip. besides, austin is so fin de siècle.

never try to pull the "i'm so indie" card with an actual musician, hon. it makes you look like a flaming idiot.

And I can't win with an asshole like you because making a riff on Moby is too "mainstream" and liking the music I do because I ACTUALLY LIKE IT is "too indier-than-thou". Who's the smug fuck here, the one who couldn't handle a fucking joke, or the one being berated by the asshole?

"couldn't handle a fucking joke"? my reply to your moby comment was a fucking joke, you ass-headed knee-jerking buffoon.

and just a hint: boasting about going to austin to see SIX INDIE BANDS I'VE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF? it doesn't get any indier-than-thou than that, kid. look, i couldn't possibly care less what music you listen to, whether you ACTUALLY LIKE IT or not. but if you're so wound up about music that other people made, for christ's sake, that if you even think someone's insulting it you start foaming at the mouth and raving hysterically? you are taking music way too seriously. you need a vacation from your iPod, kid.

HTH, HAND.

Congrats on reading one entry - apparently you're not familiar with SXSW - I saw probably about 30 bands last week, some of which you may have heard of, some of which you have not.

Listen, I'm glad you impress yourself - somebody has to be impressed by you. My new year's resolution was to stop dealing with idiots and assholes, so I'm done with you.

kid, you could see fifty bands a day for the rest of your life and you still wouldn't be cool. you're a drooling fanboy. own it. embrace it. it's nothing unique or original, but at least it's yours.

just give it up, ok? you didn't get the joke, you made a foaming ass of yourself, and now you're pretending to be above it all. YOU are the idiot here, and that's clear to everybody but you.
