And Sing

For those who dislike music: shame on you! And I'm not saying that for the obvious reason. The obvious reason is 'I love music and you should too. You have no soul if you don't like music.' No, I'm not saying that. I think that music isn't just the obvious. I mean, of course the music industry is about music. But if you think about it, where would so many people be if they didn't love music and something else. Lets go with...me for an example. Well, there are a few things I want to do and already do related to music. Here's a list because I'm so sure you care: Photography: being music based photographer is great because you can get paid to go to shows and get paid to meet great bands. Mixing: Without this vital job, some CDs wouldn't be able to live up to their true potential. Writing: I mean hello! I'm writing right fucking now about music. There are magazines based off music; magazines need writers. Enough said.
Without people having a passion in things other than music, the industry would be boring and it would be hard as hell to get your band off the ground. There are managers, owners, photographers, writers, mixers, recorders, designers, and many other jobs that relate to music. And also, the people that mainly have a passion for making music: The artists. Duh. So, if you don't believe me I am going to make a list of all the jobs I just named and tell you why they are important to music.

Managers: Well, duh. I mean, a band pretty much needs a manager. Or else they will go crazy if they get too big to manage then how the Hell will they manage making amazing music and what tours and shit they will do? Exactly.
Owners: Well, also obvious. There needs to be owners for venues, record companies, manufacturing stuff, like CDs and band merch. And if there were no owners then all Hell would break lose and everyone would eat their lovers and then eat themselves in a fit of blood and brains. Yes, that would happen. Trust me.
Photographers: Well, if there were no photographers then how would bands get snazzy pictures for the front cover of magazines? How would they have good quality pictures that weren't taken from a camera phone in an insane mosh pit by a crazy fan getting pushed around if there weren't professional people there to take the pictures. I win for this one.
Writers: Well, its obvious. I'm writing about music right now. And have been ever since I got this blog. Also, no matter what grudge I'm holding on AP, they still are about music and write about it. Correct again.
Mixers: Well, this one is obvious. So I'm not going to say anything. Because if you don't think this relates to music you need to dunk your head in a bowl of flesh eating zombie dentures.
Recorders: Yes, there is a musical instrument called the recorder. And that is musical. But also, the people that record CDs. That speaks for itself, so I won't ruin its voice.
Designers: Well, there is art in music. Visual art. Clothing designers for merch. Art designers [wtf] for the album covers. Digital designers for the format of the CDs. Yea, point for me.

So if you didn't believe me. You should now. Or else I will murder you with a silver spork and use your blood to write my next blog.
