hey kids

now i don't want to get all boring here, and i don't really go in for that deleting messages stuff, but comments have been made....

There's a reason why there's no mention of witnness (or things like it) on the listings page here - i'm sure most of you know the score on that one by now

So logically it would follow that press releases would be the same? yeah? See what I'm saying here?

I think we understand each other. I think you know the signs I speak of......

hey there should be a competition to see who can spot the most mullets in the crowds at witnness

or 'taches....

hey or combinations of both!!

 

[gipetto]

or rat tails. (semi mullets) and there should be categories. i.e. the business man mullet- grey and really straight or the wayne gretzky hockey players mullet - old fat men with no teeth and curly curls at the back o da head...........classic 1982

 

[queen nefertiti]

the mullet is the hairstyle of the gods.
well - according to the romans anyway - and look what they did

 

[mugwump]

they gave the world the aquaduct

 

[george mcfly]

the classic billy ray cyrus look has always done it for me

spikey on top shaved at the sides and yet strangely long down the back

Hmmmm, now Pete didn't you apply for press access for witnness ? So you want to go ? But you won't post it on the listings page because its run by corporate bastards ? But have you bought a ticket ?

Sure did. Freebies are pretty cool. Not that I ever get any... but on principle...

So you want to go ?

Not particularly, no - quite a few people I know are playing, so it would have been quite nice to see them. Plus, I was kinda hoping to do a behind the scenes report, and maybe some video interviews. I had my camcorder and laptop all ready to go...

Unfortunately the powers that be at MCD didn't seem to see the benefits.

But you won't post it on the listings page because its run by corporate bastards ?

No, I won't post it on the listings page because MCD / Diageo don't need my help in advertising their events.

The fact that one of them is slowly but surely attempting to single handedly take control of the entire irish music scene, and the other is a corporate bastard still using it's local business name in an attempt to maintain brand loyalty is entirely incidental.

I've said this soooo many times before - everything that goes on this site is paid for out of my pocket, so I don't see why i should give free advertising to MCD and their ilk when they can well afford to pay for it.

Anyone who wants to know about their stuff - or even doesn't want to know about their stuff - would have a hard enough time avoiding it, don't you think?

And quite frankly if MCD can't even be bothered telling me to fuck off and not be so stupid as to even ask for press accreditation after the witnness articles we ran last year, well...

But have you bought a ticket ?

ahahahhahahaaa

No. Not in a million years.

And anyway I can't go - I'm washing my hair.
