MUSIC: Selling lies to Sell Albums


Beyonce and Jay-Z are supposedly getting married this November, but the rumors are most likely just being circulated to promote her badly-received new album B-Day. Meanwhile +44, 2/3 of Blink 182 is claiming their new album When your heart stops beating will tell the truth as to why the band broke up. What a convenient eye opener for your band's debut.

Other underhanded tactics involve talking smack about other artists. But it's completely unadvised if you're a brand new artist. In Rolling Stone The Pink Spiders were knocking Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco. Saying their music was “pseudo intellectual, melodramatic, fake-poetic shit” with “paragraph long song titles."

"They make kids feel smart, but we make kids feel good.”


Let's see how far that gets them.
