Indie Music Chatter

I just got a phone call from one of the handlers of a project I’m working on… to cut a long story short, I was unceremoniously removed from the project. The worst thing was that they retained another person who so obviously did not have the necessary experience in online publishing, only that this person was personally recommended by the project leader. I, on the other hand, who got in through the strength of my experience in online publishing and content writing, was left out in the cold. It really left a bad taste in the mouth. It makes you want to go Sylar on them. But, hey, c’est la vie. If they can actually build a whole website without the expertise of a seasoned online content editor then my hat off to them.

I’m too riled up to really think tonight so I’ve opened a bottle of Shiraz and pulled out some choice CDs to act as my unofficial musical score. Definitely, Nine Inch Nails is gonna figure prominently in my playlist. The Fragile seems like a good choice. I also want to get some vintage Tom Waits in to make me feel like I’m in some honkytonk bar drowning away my frustrations on a bottle of moonshine (although the shiraz is way more preferable). I’m also playing What’s Your Problem by The Players — a smoky, frenetic acid jazz stomper along with their other song It’s Not Over Now, which is more of a slowburner.

I’m still pissed off, but looking at the bright side, I’ll have more time listening to my albums and getting the online content services company I’ve been dreaming about off the ground — clouds and silver linings, right?
