Brad Sucks, the blog of the website of the one man band. Brad is an Ottawa musician, and you can download his
great album for free from his website as well. Quoth Brad on the topic of selling out:
It’s official Brad policy to not be against selling out. I certainly have lines I won’t cross, but for the most part I support the idea of making money. But to slap some ads on my site for some free Twix bars is scraping the bottom of the barrel, even for me. Baseball tickets in another country don’t interest me much either unless they come with plane tickets.
But then I thought: “Whoah, he said tons of Twix bars”. What could I do with a stupid amount of Twix bars? Why, I could have the most chocolatey live show ever! Just think how they’d pile into the club if the sign said “Brad Sucks Live Tonight + FREE ALL YOU CAN EAT TWIX BARS”.
So I wrote back: “How many free Twix bars are we talking about here?” No reply so far. I hope that’s not the last time in my life I get to ask that question.
I already had a link to Brad's website in my
links section, but I just couldn't resist posting this as well. I'd like to expand my list of local and eclectic blog links to include more than just those covering political issues (and I'm not yet ready to provide a link back to a certain ex-girlfriend's blog, despite my secret, shameful interest in reading it), and Brad is a terrific writer. Please share and enjoy.
