In Tay's defense, I can't say that I've ever heard him use the term "sellout" to describe a band (and, I know the whole "absence of proof/proof of absence" deal, but I still feel the need to point that out.) I must admit, some of his picks seem (to my admittedly poorly musically-inclined ear) motivated in part by the obscurity of the artist, but I'm not sure that would mean that he's prone to doing the opposite: shitting on popular bands simply for having made money.
That said, I have a problem with this:
I guess it depends on your definition of "insult" (I'm assuming you're pointing to Beck's comments: criticizing talent rather than "My dad can beat up your dad" stuff), but I'd like to point out that hardworking local artists aren't "good" (musically) simply because they are hardworking and local (or even working for free). And while I don't feel that way about Whitey Houston, you have to admit that some local bands aren't good, even if they are nice guys who work hard.
Then again, if you do feel that way, I look forward to The Kurt Vonneguts getting such consideration.

My, that took a far different path than the one I envisioned when Beck started it all. My kudos to Tay for this brilliant burn:
Seriously, you can't just come on here and have the gaul to tell me what I do when I don't actually do it.At first I thought he just misspelled "gall". Then I figured it out. He called you French. That's gotta smart.

When you insult hard-working local musicians who are constantly busting their asses while getting zero compensation for their work, I can't help but feel that you are insulting me personally.

and yes, Al... I'd really like to chill, and I really don't give two shits about what music anybody on here does or doesn't like, but sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself when people say shit about you that's totally untrue.
BTW- I totally gotta see your new wheels sometime.

How bout I refer to your trend to being a whiny dumbass cunt?
Seriously, what the FUCK!??? I don't fuckin call ANYONE sell outs!!!! Unlike some of you (which has recently become apparent), I can at least respect bands that have worked hard to get where they are even if I don't personally like them.
So fuck you, you fuckin sell outs. I know Beck wasn't trying to diss me when he said Whitey Houston sucked, but I felt responsible to stick up for them because I've talked to them and have seen how hard they've worked to get where they are now. And not only that, but they're the most deservingly humble dudes ever; no matter whether or not they've just come off a successful tour or have been named CJSR's #1 band for 2005 (which they were), they'll still take the time out to talk with me and give me super helpful advice in getting grants and appyling for things like SOCAN and other music biz shit. And not only that, but I doubt they even fuckin LIKE my bands but they still help me out.
So whatever. I didn't say shit about any of your opinions. I may be vocal in disagreeing with them, but I sure as hell don't attack you personally. It'd be nice if you could do the same. Seriously, you can't just come on here and have the gaul to tell me what I do when I don't actually do it.
"and no I don't remember which bands they are but I know there are a few... "
No, you don't know shit. That's because there aren't any, you dumb prick. I think I'm entitled to being a little pissed off here. You may as well just come on here and call me a racist "oh, but I forget which KKK meeting you were at, but I know there were a few".
That is some lame shit.

Chill people! First it's a pissing contest about (insert object here), now it's a pissing contest about which band is better. Calm down, everyone is intitled to their own opinion.

Beck's simply refering to your trend to label bands that you like at one point as sell outs when they finally make it into the limelight and make some money... and no I don't remember which bands they are but I know there are a few...
