That’s the news..and I’m outta here

antpants:

After a bunch of thought, I think I’m going to shut my blog down. I don’t like the attention that it gets and sometimes I think it is taking focus off of the music I make. One of the hardest things for me to hear is that people have liked the band but my attitude turns them away. I can’t lose sight of why i got into all this in the first place. I know it probably has seemed like a great way to get attention but I don’t see it that way. It’s a distraction. I’ve never been into the famous side of being in a band and as hard as it is to believe, I actually don’t like attention. I’m going back into my cave to make the best record of my life and you’ll hear from me when it’s done.

I’m so bummed about this. Anthony’s blog was one of the few actually worth taking the time to read whether I agreed with what he had to say or not.
