Fascist!

I don't really think Shayne was talking about artistic decisions, although it is interesting how he's managed to incorporate singing saw & trombone into his otherwise pretty much acoustic pop-punk band . . . throwing a bone to the homies, eh?

I spent the first X years trying to defend the word "scene" as being what you make of it, or at least being no worse than any other word, but at some point it seemed better & more natural to use the word "community," so c'mon, let's use it instead, until Duncan vomits & moves to New Orleans, where it's literally every band for themselves.

That might be good for the scene, but it sounds bad for art.

The word itself, "scene," is starting to make me queasy.

I could be wrong,
but I think that one of the differences between the music scene in
Durham and, say, Chapel Hill is that when a musician in Durham goes
through the cost/benefit decision of any given action, they take into
account not only what is good for their band but what is good for the
music scene itself.
