What is this Tumblr for?
Now, it seems, bands/blogs/artists/ETC. have a “website”, a “serious blog” and then a “tumblr”. And apparently, the “tumblr” is where all the pictures of kittens wearing glasses and the videos of the unlocked Beethoven track in Guitar Hero 4 go.
The problem there, though, is that we’d better pick the RIGHT ke$ha mash-ups & YouTube videos of Seinfeld clips, otherwise we will lose the ACIDIC EDGE of our PERSONA and with that goes our CREDIBILITY.
(If you keep joining Social Networking Sites and no one Follows, will your real-life friends start second-guessing you?)
So, No: We do not know what this thing is for. It was started so we could post “demos” & “scraps” of “songs” for free (because our “serious website/blog” is a WordPressand in so being, requires “money” for such privilege), but now we have a SoundCloud Account, so this “tumblr” seems all the less useful.
But, let’s see if my forced social networking will work.
I’ve already included a “painting” by Andy Warhol that isn’t hard to “understand” because it’s 100+ canvases of JESUS CHRIST, who’s impact & mystery & obsession & heft is almost a Universal Condition Of Being…
Next, I suppose, I will mention an album I’m listening to today, and it should be tossed off with a casual maliciousness: “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).”
(So there: Andy Warhol AND Brian Eno). But I hear “Here Come The Warm Jets” is better.
And then I should put something about how I don’t know how to pronounce the word “(internet) meme” because that should endow my lyrics & our songs with a real “focus” on “real” things between disconnected “people.”
That’s it. Remember: We’re only as good as how much we’re reblogged.
But I should really go. I’m at work (posting from your work computer = TWITTERPUNX). I’ve also noticed that the Internet is where you put all of your life’s spelling errors.
Every “critique” like this should close with an admission of sickness about all this “irony”: OH! ALL THIS SELF-POLICED KNOWING! OH, ALL THIS OH-TEN SELF-AWARENESS!
LOVE,
DANIEL.
