‘Calls himself the saviour of the music industry’
The Scotsman has discovered blogging, and for some peculiar reason makes me their sample music blog. Here’s the entry: which immediately makes me seem like a very sad old bloke.
Name: The Fifty Quid Bloke (www.50quid.org)
What is it? Calls himself the saviour of the music industry, based on newspaper stories claiming fortysomethings now buy more albums than teens.
Sample: “If you’re going to set up a band, make sure it’s got a name no-one will forget. This is clearly something you don’t need to tell Lesbians on Ecstasy. Their first album is out at the end of October, I’m sure a concerted effort by a few thousand people could get them to the top of the download chart.”
See - write in haste, repent at leisure. Meanwhile, for anyone who’s turned up looking for more LoE coverage. Sorry. Not that sort of site.
