A rock band.

A fucking rock band. Magnets make the sounds and you overpower the electronic signals to make it interesting. We write pop songs and juice them up with guitar solos. No extended instrumental solos, no tonal explorations, no world rhythms nor drugs. That's not a direction you ought to go. If there's dust on it, blow it off. Rather, keep it there, see how it sounds, it may bode well for the reception. Nothing too showy, just matching suits. It goes "tssss" right before the snare (that's the beat upon which the audience claps), and the beat is drawn out with a chord on the keyboard, the bass guitar announces this approach, over and over again, denoting a pattern, a schedule, a promise. Now, how hard does that sound?
