that Plumbers don't tend to take on many apprentices nowadays (plumbing being my 'proper' job and all that). they ride the 'Wave of Emigration' and employ untrained Eastern Europeans because they are cheap(anybody seen 'It's a Free World' ?) but i get your stripe-earning-point and all that...valid points a'boot on this thread !

i'd love to see 'the creative' take a stand against the people in charge, but when this happens 'the man' simply looks further down the foodchain and employs someone for less money, with less talent, yet their hand is bitten off due to it being somebody's 'lucky break'. i've been photographing bands for years and told countless magazines to 'pogo on that, you twat !' due to their lack of respect, but they don't care. souless, digital camera-using saps are ten-a-penny nowadays...their work might be shite, but it's cheap and convenient. (thus is the way of our modern-day culture). ha ha ha ha....

thanks to my two older Pixies/Stone Roses-lovin' sisters shouting "i bet you like that shitty Charley track don't you ?" i went straight to Our Price and got the 7"...i saw music in a new light after that...Public Enemy, Orbital, Smashing Pumpkins all made sense to me after '...Experience'....nowadays, me sisters are going to Take That reunions , and still tell me that the music i listen to is shite...bless 'em.
