I never really liked clubs even younger, despite liking rap and pop they manage to find the stuff I don't like

my plan for residency interviews is long black hair, black suit, loud purple shirt with no tie and 2 buttons undone

I'm imagining the joker

good

see when I don't have my fucking job telling me how to dress and act, I basically am a goth'd up joker

I can get down with pop music that fetishizes suicidal hedonism though

that's my whole thing in life, I am basically alucard and always have been

I've been forced to suppress it for years

I sorta dress like a cross between a goth and a rapper

jobs force us to stop being who we are

fuck them, even if they are important

Almost 100% of the shirts I wear are from my own brand

do you make some kind of emonigger music?

Thus I get them cheap as shit

Actually I think emonigger is an apt description

If you wanna help me out and have spotify, listen to me on there

I'll check it out

2017 rap metal

Nah it's not rap metal

I'm just yanking yer crank. I'll check it out with an open mind

Although King 810 does that and on their mixtape with DJ Drama it comes out as some kind of godflesh worship heavy rap/dub

Hey man it's cool with me if you don't like it

I'm barely on any kind of "level" but you sure as shit don't get to where I did by getting butthurt cause someone doesn't like your musix

Next show

We wanted to all look like horror movie killers for the poster

interesting thought process

You gotta promote shit, so our idea was to have this total grindhouse theme

But basically the way you become successful as a musician is to be really nice to everyone, stay sober, and don't waste much time on people who can't help you and you don't like

I make SOME money from doing it, it isn't much but it's a lot more than I was a year ago

well yeah, successful music is 50% music 50% marketing

that's why I never did it beyond a hobby level, I find self promotion revolting

the music does not speak for itself, the whoring does

but if you have a stomach for it more power to you

Well it took a while but I built a brand people take to

I feel like success easily comes to people willing to promote

I used to see my promo materials on the floor, now people at shows trade them like baseball cards

create artifical scarcity by having lots of designs and only bringing 1 or 2 of each
