Dec. 10th, 2008 10:52 am- 02:30 Thing is I only hang out on forums for mid-level to small indie acts (though I always wanted to be in the Pet Shop Boys fanclub) #
- 02:33 I treated Blur fandom as the same sort of thing but it wasn't, it was...... /dormant/ #
- 02:38 Today was the PR equivalent of seeing the clunker up on cinderblocks at the back of the yard unfold itself into the Batmobile #
- 02:39 Then realizing its jet propulsion engines are on and you are standing in its way in the middle of the tarmac #
- 02:41 I was traumatized (also, taking notes for my next marketing class) #
- 02:43 I have a vague suspicion EMI would perform better if they just gave it to Blur to run (not that dudes need the hassle) #
- 02:46 Anyway I wanted to mention this because I know there're some fans of the not-bothering-to-keep-up-to-date variety on the flist #
- 02:52 So for the record, this was the culmination of what amounted to a biweekly internet-serialized real life fix-it fic of tooth-rotting nature #
- 02:57 a solid two months of "good theatre" (as one says in Chinese) for me, having low stakes in the matter #
- 02:58 but as I understand it they've been jerking their fanbase around for years #
- 03:04 so yeah, sometimes the meek actually receive, is the moral of the story (very seasonally appropriate XD) #
