I'm playing a gig on Sunday evening, y'know, if any of you happen to be in Birmingham.

Can't you play one where people actually, you know, go?

No.

Not becoming popular is a good way to stop people from calling you a sell out.

Look, I'm selling out enough as it is just telling you about this gig, man

I meet a LOT of bands and musicians.
Usually, the ones who have had success are lovely people.*

Those who seek integrity are often fooling themselves and extremely bitter about not getting anywhere.

*Exceptions being pop groups and most R&B artists. These appear to have been taught to have their heads up their own arses from birth.

Oh, 'indie' groups are frequently tossers too.
