  Here’s my issue:

  I’m tired of being marketed to. At every Junction. No, I don’t give 5 fucks that some new distortion pedal makes you sound like this person or that.

  It’s the infection of capitalism in art. There’s nothing wrong with gathering the tools you need. But there’s a point at which you are no longer a creator, but a consumer of gear.

  I’ve fallen to it in the past. Massive pedalboard. Every fancy new pedal. And for me, in the end, it was a hindrance more than anything.

  I’m so utterly tired of being constantly being sold something. Where “content creators” are ad men in a new skin for a new era.

  Fuck. That.

  Fuck that.

    Sounds like cosmetic and weight loss products advertising for women. Over the years I have taken serious comfort by recalling Socrates’ comment when walking through the Athenian marketplace - ‘It’s wonderful how many things there are in the world that I neither need nor want’. A wise man.

    Funny you say that, because I have a friend who’s fallen victim to advertising for beauty products. We walked into a makeup store, and suddenly she knows everything about every product, and all the claims that people have made about them. Scary shit.

    Same page mate, and to reply to all that properly would be an over a beer chat at a random local gig where none of that applies as people are being genuine and not like what you’ve described.
