Ahh I see..my mistake.
"BC> I think that music is headed towards a more hyper-poppy sound (ala
Puffy) where people take old catchy things and combine them with new
sounds and textures, hooks with sound collages."
Ya think...
"Listessa> Was MCIS influenced by the writing of Elie Wiesel?
BC> (I) never even heard of him nor read any of his work. (I) was deeply
insulted by the accusation of lyrical plagiarism. Anyone who knows me
knows i would never be that lame. A guitar riff, maybe, but not
words. There are only 12 notes, but a million words."
There is a another interview, the one I was talking about, where the interviewer was very condescending..and kept inffering that
"Listessa> Any final words for Listessa members?
BC> I have read many discouraging things in regard to the lack of a future
that my band has, or how we shouldn't change, or we used to be better.
For those that live in the past, well you always have your c.d.'s there
to keep you warm, or hopefully you saw a memorable show with the
original lineup that you can dream back to. I know that i get sentimental
sometimes for old days and times, but those days have passed. The
band is not 20 anymore. We have seen a lot. We have been through a
lot, and we can only pass our experiences through our music in a way that
is in harmony with the people we are today, not yesterday. We wish
everyone could be happy and satisfied but alas, it is not human nature.
We never set out to be anything but ourselves. I would hope that our
success could be viewed with pride and satisfaction, not as a sign that
something has been ruined. For those of you that have been there from the
start, well to you I can offer only gratitude. For those of you that
have found us along the way, try to connect the dots and see everything
in context. "
It is very unfortunate that he has to repeat himself 9 years later!
