Re: bridge burning (was Re: electrix repeater wanted)



Whatever, Mark, or whoever relayed this email.
WHENEVER any bad vibes are on this list, Mr. Mark "look at me" Sottilaro seems to be right behind it. Maybe you think you are funny. Maybe some others think you are funny. I think you have a very big problem, and I don't give a shit what you think about me, looping, music, or anything at all.
I think you are a very big Prima Donna, probably into music for all the wrong reasons.
Anyway you slice it, I don't want to know you, hear what you have to say about anything, and most of all I wouldn't have your music in my ears, at any cost.
Now, THAT's community!

Usually it's the "list moderator" 's job to reel in assholes like you, Mark, but as we all know, Kim thrives on conflict, and likes to see bad vibes loop around the knuckleheads. That's his perogative- it's his list.

I don't think you are funny at all. I think you are very sad.

Ok folks, begin hurling bricks at me now...

PS Kim- are you enjoying this?

PPS Mark- I meant it- filter me out of your email (if I don't unsub)

:::If I'm wrong, I guess it doesn't matter as I'm not one of his "featured

:::OK, I'm tired of typing, and realize that unless I could somehow do a
:::"Flowers for Algernon" type of enhancement on you, you're not
:::understanding me anyway.  I don't have a big ego Tim, I'm just not dim
:::like yourself.  In case you haven't notice from my charming

:::humbled to do a show with him any day of the week.
:::
:::And for my final bridge burning moment (boy am I done with this list!)
:::I'm going to finish it with a little review of Matthais' last album:
:::
:::Unlistenable.  The man has absolutely no sense of rhythm at all.  Needs
:::to knock off the ganja and spend a month with a metronome.  Better yet,
:::drop the guitar for a while and work on a modern EDP and drop that
:::frustrated ex musician know-it-all Kim and get someone who gives a crap
:::to help you develop and market your (brilliant) product.
:::
:::Man that felt good!  If I had to read one more steller review of that
:::thrown together piece of crap (the album) I was going to puke.  I'm not
:::saying I'm a great musician, but I'm not trying to get money for it
:::either.
