rage against the machine versus x-factor - Page 3

auto-aim · 12.17.2009, 08:04 PM

It's all just the same thing and nobody promoting it sees the irony. I wouldn't mind but it's incessant. Sure, it can be argued aesthetically it's better and RATM are more conscientious people but it's kind of being sold on the back an anti-mainstream thing and like an example to individuality. if anything it's an example of just the opposite. homogenous culture just as x factor is. it wouldn't surprise me if some jerk PR person or something came up with it - particulary with majors activly looking for ways to make mo' money.

I was thinking of 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)' actually.

The Earl Of Slander · 12.18.2009, 07:13 AM

Wait, was that actually no. 1?

EDIT: Turns out no. Well there's my argument sunk then.

Porky has started a group called "Merzbow for Christmas number one" on facebook. I dont think a late surge is out of the question, the charts being like they are these days it will probably get in the top 40

they faded out during the swearing. which is just as well because had it gone on any longer i'm sure i would've been inspired to blow up parliament, or harrass a policeman or speed or moon or give a nudge to one of those machines you see in seaside amusement arcades, the ones with all the coins and the logs moving backwards and forwards and all the 2ps dangle on the edge. close call really.

I don't think I'm changing the world, or RATM are powerful revolutionaries instead of just some band, but fuck it, I LIKE THE TRACK, and it's better than the shit factor. I don't feel the need to defend the campaign any further than that.

I feel I should clarify this: demonrail isn't a cleaner, he's washing Africans as an apology for slavery.
