D.I.Y or just FUCKING LAZY and TIGHT

So its that time again in the cultural calender where the path to a record deal and uber cool status , is now dotted with dusty tape recorders and stick figurine flyers and record sleeves designed after a saterday nights excess involving a red wine stain and a newspaper from a kebab.

So as the title suggest is this D.I.Y ethic or just plain lazy .

Recordings:

The basteon of recordings these days is the 4 track recording gone (for now) are studios and stuck up engineers in terrible "tool" t-shirts . Now im all for this and ,Yes, I record on a 4 track and im mainley attracted by the endless possibilities of what I can get out of it ,mixing ,bouncing tracks, recording one mic here and one mic there ...thats what i get off on or to paraphrase Lars Ulrich in Some kind of monster Documentry thats what gets my dick Hard!!! .

Some bands however go out of thier way to make it sound as shit as possible as opposed to making what you record on sound as good as possible . They seem to record something in there jumper in a rehearsal and put it on myspace and then lament to uncool hacks on how they dont care and just recorded it in a bathroom,kitchen, mini cab office,kebab shop ect. As I said this nearly always sets off my dork alarm cause like i said they just being lazy and tight ,ok recession and we all scrappling for cash but i managed to clamer a meager recording set up together through borrowin and getting stuff off e-bay . Not following the age old path of "Yea we spent it all getting fucked up " like your motley crue but without the bank balance and 80's hedonism.

Flyers,record covers and band names :

Flyers these days are sucking balls, Pettibon would be stabbing himself with his pencil if he's seen what i seen .....hand drawn no thought rubbish ,which only shows me your music's gonna suck if you put this much effort into promoting it . The D.I.Y scenes of say the SST era all had awesome flyers/record covers to go with it I belive theres like coffee table books showing all these small works of art desgined to get people to your shows and buy your records(money is useful to put out more records and do tours)...anti parents ,anti cops anti boredom its all there ..
not just something scribbled on the back of something . Its just lazy and non creative .Same goes for band names these days
All seem to have been snatched from a blinfolded stab at a 80's TV guide ...I think i saw in some listings a band called Nicole Kidman what the fuck is your drummer called Tom Cruizzzeee or the bassist called White Weedy Ozzy or W.W.O for short . Again no thought and just lazy they dont tell me shit about the band and what they about ......all this ranting could justbe showing my age as 30 is around the corner and im no longer welcome in a shoreditch warehouse but whatever its shebeen scenes blog so click back on your browser if you dis -agree or print it out and write a witty flyer on the back of the printed page .

Cynical old prick or sensible observation ????
