FUCKING NO!
Thanks, brother. I'd appreciate it.

I've got a lot of cool Rilo Kiley stuff if you're interested. I'm not sure if you're a live recording kinda guy, but I've got a couple of shows that are just Jenny and Blake that are great listens.

I'm pretty sure the relationship is the reverse of what stip implied. If they were releasing No Code today and doing this shit, I'd probably be annoyed. At some level or point of degree, merch-pushing becomes implicit of a reductionist perception of or caustic attitude towards your own music and the impact it has on people.Birds in Hell wrote:There's obviously a pretty considerable crossover between people who don't like the band's current music and don't like these other things too but I don't think that's necessarily enough to conclude that the latter can be dismissed entirely; I think it's a genuine factor, just not a major or determinative one.stip wrote:It would be really interesting to figure out how many people are currently perfectly happy with the quality of the music and live shows AND upset by the recent business practices. I suspect there aren't too many, which is why I think this thread and these conversations are mostly a proxy for expressing unhappiness with the music.
But when they're farting out rehashes, tired formula, and terrible sounds, all this "money it's what I want" campaigning becomes just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Cool. I will upload some of the better shows I have. I'm not a bootleg guy at all, but there are two specific Rilo Kiley bootlegs I legitimately listen to regularly.

No Code is actually a good name for a dog.

McParadigm wrote:"Merchandise is a reflection of the commitment you have to the music" is both a very vaseline-lensed version of the relationship between these massive marketing ventures and the band's occasional music-making, and indicative of a level of pessimism about love and life that not even I stoop to.I think Simmons is wrong to reduce the music to the merchandise, but the merchandise is a reflection of the commitment you have to the music.
I bet you think people who enjoy rockband should just learn to play the guitar.
