Recruiting for the "Creative Corporate Machine"

This is a privileged time period for artists of all types . It's been a while since the arts have been sooo monitored . There are many creative minds out there . A number of things happen to these people nowadays as a result of these present conditions . Many become discouraged and , fall in line with what the" general public" , thinks they should be doing . And in doing so, they are rewarded high positions in the corporate agenda ( like, why geico commercials were constantly hip for a time meanwhile professional comedians on a whole , suck ) , the irony . This corporate creative person is interesting . They usually are very bitter about their position in society but have developed a remarkable resistance to exploring this self knowledge . But that's good for the corporate machine . Desensitizing one's self is key in the initiation process of the corporate machine . So if another creative mind comes prancing along free of corporate shackles , he or she quickly becomes targeted by the new and improved "Creative Corporate Machine" for the purification process . This is the most irritating entity in the world today . These people are prominant in the world I reside , Music .

I'm not talking about Labels and Indie Labels and A&R's ...That's too obvious . I'm talking about us . There are these new websites for musicians that have popped up everywhere ! Basically the way it works, if you pay money to these sites , they'll give you access to very important contacts in the Music Industry. Moreover , some will promote your music and blast it everywhere. We seem to think we can pay are way into being taken seriously...And for the most part we're right . But this type of mass performance art is getting redundant and monopolizing the arts on a whole , not just music . Then there are some sites (like theirstage.com) that aim to making people vote for who they feel is the best unsigned musician of their categeory , by featuring all of these unsigned artists on their site . The problem is alot of people feel they're great artists and they're not . Another problem is these people have alot of friends and may even be a great member in the church . Now that's alot of people voting for this sorry ass dude . They probably even know he sucks but it's the friendly thing to do . But there's another person in the same categeory and his or her stuff is pretty damn good but they're not as socially involved in the literal sense etc. you get it.

This competition "thing" is getting out of hand and watching people playing games convincing others of their bullshit being authentic and "serious" is getting old too . All those reality shows are messing shit up. Judges during the day and entertainment judges at night . It's getting drilled in us to judge every damn thing and on stupid levels for instance" live karaoke " singers and bands (that should be cover bands) to be judged as future artists . And the untouchables are the judges . Everybody desperately wants power in these seemingly ( but an illusion ) powerless days. I and you , are responsible for this . We are the "Creative Corporate Machine" . To be continued...
