Patrick Wolf Vents About Bad Music
So, late last night Patrick Wolf posted this bulletin, with the subject "Somerset House:"Mika is a twatbut then early this morning, he posted this "translation:"
and what I meant wasAs crazy and bitter as that first bulletin sounds, I kind of agree with his second posting. Creativity is definitely alive in the indie world, but where is it in the mainstream?
Please lets put an end to
over marketed, expensive heartless
tacky rubbish, autotune, airbrush
should i market myself to look OUTRAGEOUS and kooky or would
it be easier if I sold records by playing safe and serene
and for the family
to save more record sales. Cliff richard. enrique iglesias.
mutton dressed as lamb.
what we all need in this time
of super superficialities is gristle
and bone and passion and soul
and true stars that havent come from
the end of showbiz academy jazz hands school
I never got an education for what
i do, I woke up with a passion to sing
and write and communicate from the bottom
of my dirty teenage heart and we should be more aware
of what is fed to us as genetically modified music
and what is organic music, this is not about gender
or sexuality, its just a bad time for music and I cant
stand on the sideline with a fake smile.
Sure, everybody likes a good show.. and and entertainer
but liberace had the flying limousine and hotpants.
I went to hear my violinist Victoria Sutherland play Schuberts last piano trio yesterday morning, it was in st marys church on the strand right opposite somerset house where we played only about thirteen hours before.
it was the first time in many months I heard a piece of music that totally seized my body with emotion. I suddenly woke up out of the forced ataraxy of the previous night.
Franz Shubert died of syphilis and mercury poisoning at the age of 30 with almost all of his compositions refused to be played by orchestras or definitely unpublished,
I demand justice for good music and firebrands who
refiuse to compromise to be popular.
Or at least a good meal or two in the process to keep them going.
Stay true, free and fierce peoples and enjoy your summer....

PS. After this and the drummer incident at Hiro Ballroom, I'm now officially scared of PW.
