I guessed you missed his recent HBO special, "Same Old Jokes But Still No
Cover Charge: A Sweetbreads Retrospective."
Sweetbread's bits are like McDonalds, it's never going to get any better but
at least you know just what you're going to get.

Ok, you regularly advertise your band here, post links, music, and now
a video. You posted it saying you wanted feedback. You got some, and
this is your response? Hate to break it to you, that tune was not all
that good. It sounded like a million other bar bands in small towns.
Glad you enjoy playing your music, that's great! Gonna post it
repeatedly to the internet and ask for feedback? Get ready to hear
some criticism, cause that band was seriously mediocre.
In the words of Simon Cowell, "That was...awful! I felt like I was in
a cinder block tavern in Peshtigo Wisconsin or something. I mean, the
harmonica was like a dying animal of some sort for god's sake, and the
band had as much charisma as a group of paint salesman, not to mention
the obvious lack of any real, exciting, interesting musical ideas.
Boring, boring, boring."

If you think that I take Sweetbac seriously one way or another you
really necd to get over yourself. I don't think that were anything
more than what we are. We have fun, and that's all I really care
about. I EXPECT Sweetbac to say exactly what he said.
So far as your opinion. Sorry we're not your cup of tea. The audience

The last time I was in Boston I got drunk at the "Cheers" pub. I was
pleasantly surpised to find that
A) My girlfriend liked to drive 90 mph in the pouring rain.
B) I actually made it home alive.
Definitely more cowbell.

You guys have a good sound.. That's a great song, played with

ROCKS! I like it,looks like y'all were havin' a good time! :-D

I like the song, so I enjoyed it. Not that I get out much though.
I would definitely enjoy it if I was at the bar that night, but
wouldn't go there to see them particularly.
I agree, the harmonica needs work. Same with the backup vocalist.
Which one are you? Sorry, I haven't followed the music threads.
But if you're having fun and the crowd is as well, that's all that
matters. If you're looking for a recording contract, that's a
different story.
It's not often I can see someone do Changes, what are some of the
other tunes you guys know?
Either way, it looks like you guys are having fun and can play pretty
good. Does that acoustic guitar guy play acoustic all night? For some
reason to me, it doesn't seem to fit.
Seth Buttock
You did take him seriously enough to get snippy about getting the
feedback you asked for and din't like.

Good for you and good for them. If you don't "care" about people's
feedback then why did you ask for it? Or did you mean to ask for
"positive feedback"?

Yeah, you're not taking it all seriously at all. It's bad form to
ask for feedback and then whine and lash out at the feedback you don't
like. I'll pass on your concerns at the next Buttock family reunion,
genius.

feedback is one thing and insults are another.

Scot, I think you guys should consider a female singer, one that also
could utililize a tamborine. Donna Jean is still doing her thing.
JamBase says "no current shows scheduled for this artist". It's not
out of the realm of possibility. And she could kick you all up to
satellite radio kind of exposure.

LOL. Yeah..I'm sure Donna and Scot's agent are working out the details
of this collaboration behind the scenes. A female lead singer doing
Dead and Dylan covers might be refreshing. Good idea!

No what I asked for was feedback, not dickhead insulting feedback. If
I wanted that I would have emailed it to Simon Cowl. I'm all for
constructive critiques. Hearing that you thought it sucked isn't
constructive, it's just insulting.
Yeah we're a bar band. We're lucky if we get to rehearse more than
once a week. That song wasn't rehearsed at all. It was done for Buddy
Miles who had died that day.
So far as Dave Kelly, he's one of the most consistently funny people
on this ng, I expected exactly what I got from him. Go check his
posting history regarding pretty much anything and my responses to
him. So while you might think that my response to him was whining, it
was actually just giving him some shit back. (Hence the White Go Go
Boots comment-if you actually read this NG on a regular basis you
might even get the joke)
Anyway, as I point out early, Buttock would seem to be a perfect name
for you.

Seth Buttock
HTH,
Scot "
I was just pointing out the irony of such a response from someone
requesting feedback; whilst also taking one for the team and pointing
out what many readers are thinking when they see yet another post
looking for attention for your band. I realize you have a need for
the praise, and I am so terribly sorry I couldn't provide it. Here's
some constructive criticism: continue having fun with your band,
playing music is fun. Your band is mediocre. Asking for feedback on
the internet and posting myspace links for a mediocre band is going to
result in people who are Buttocks giving you dickhead insulting
feedback. That is the nature of the internet. Develop a thicker skin
and stop whining, or stop asking for feeback and using the internet to
blog about your music career.
Pre-emptive freedom of speech argument rebuttal : No, I'm not saying
you don't have a right to post what you want, that all of rmgd isn't
your close personal friends, that I'm not an asshole. I'm just
sayin'.....

You ask for feedback, you got some and now you want to whine
about it ? If you want a professional evaluation of your band
send a tape to a professional and pay the fee. If you want
free feedback from Usenet don't whine about it when you get
what you pay for.
If I walked into a bar and that band was playing I'd turn
around on my heel and get the hell out of Dodge. So sorry if
that's not "constructive" enough for you. Oh, wait just a sec.
Tune your guitars *before* you start to play. There, that was
me being "constructive".
