Dated 22 August 2010. I think I was having a really rough day.

1. Popular “experimental”/”lo-fi” music is utter bullshit. The low production quality covers up the complete lack of talent.
2. People will buy anything if they think there is a movement behind it.
3. People don’t buy original music, or music that doesn’t sound like anything they’re familiar with, hence the rise of “Chillwave”, which sounds like every awful 1970s and 1980s smooth pop hit rolled into one painfully self-conscious mess.
4. Don’t pay attention to music media. Its nature is to highlight rising trends and cash in on zeitgeist. Trends in music are created by the lowest common denominator, who want music that doesn’t encourage them to think for themselves.
5. Everyone else is an asshole academic.

Maybe I should take up yoga?
