This week, it's time to turn inward a little - and look at songs written about the music industry. Needless to say, this kind of song is almost always written in a negative light (I can't think of any positive examples - if you can, I'd love to hear from you), and here are ten examples of this very craft. Any other suggestions - this list was a bloody hard one to collate - welcome as always.


The Smiths
Paint a Vulgar Picture

Quite possibly the ultimate song about the music industry, almost every single lyric in this track holds true today, over twenty years on. Based around the idea of a record label dealing with the death of one of their artists, their first reaction isn't mourning, but instead how it will boost their bottom line:

Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)

Class.

Rico
Manufractured

On Friday, I went to see Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto at Sticky Fingers.

When I first heard of this show, I only knew the bands by name, not having gotten into more bands in the ska-punk vein than The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Sublime. But I figured it would be a good show. And it totally was.

This was my tenth time seeing a concert at Sticky Fingers Top Floor, and the most energetic one. From the first Streetlight song, the sold-out crowd was completely into it. A few hours later, 400 sweaty and happy people poured out.

After the show, I swiped Reel Big Fish's setlist.

01. Sell Out
02. Another F.U. Song
03. Somebody Hates Me
04. Join The Club
05. I'm Her Man / Everything Sucks
06. Ban The Tube Top
07. The New Version of You
08. She Has A Girlfriend Now
09. Kiss Me Deadly
10. The Set Up
11. Good Thing / Your Guts (I Hate 'Em)
12. Live Your Dream
13. You Don't Know
14. Don't Start a Band
15. Another Day in Paradise
16. Where Have You Been

Bem... sou formado em Publicidade, mas tô aceitando qualquer trampo na região sudeste.

Queria que fosse brincadeira, mas não é (é o Brasil).

Agradeço quem perdeu seu precioso tempo lendo isso e ainda mais a quem se interessar.

Abraço.

P.S.: Já que é um blog musical vale como ilustrações Sell Out do Reel Big Fish e Consumo Gusto do Ska-P.

When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk, with a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing "my, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die by the end of the night." Stuck in a Catch 22. So Lets Go Nowhere, everything is always falling apart. Grab some Leftover Crack and Rock The 40 oz. Take Everything Girl, now you've changed up everything girl. Never going to be one of The Specials, because i know you know you're just a little bitch. She Knows Her Way, since her chest is a window, you can always see her heart. Less Than Jake, but Just Like Frank. She's just like anyone, she's just like anybody. Sell Out! I don't think it'll be so bad, i know it won't be so bad. Fuck creating The Suicide Machines, just be yourself, the one and only. Late at night you would tell me it would all be fine, realized that our doubts weren't just mine. Don't Go, let's take it back to how it all began: with a proposition. It's too late now though, Everything Went Numb. …
