The Reason For Art and The Denial of The Self Sufficient Without Art and Magic: A Manifesto OR
The Way We Were Always Going To Be Us
The rub of getdelicious.net is to evaluate music by means of solely being able to drag terribly enjoyable and hideously incapacitating moments of our writer’s lives into a combination with the music. Whichever band can evoke the most memories out of our writer’s pasts, by god, the measure of art behold! A deliciously poured over dollar amount will sometimes be used also to value the music as well. The more money we recommend spending is misleading. It’s more a recommendation. We think it’s constructive, critical, worthwhile etc. It’s all sorts fo agreeable to us! If being agreeable is the most detestable thing in criticism then by all means hate getdelicous.net away. It is also considered of the utmost importance on getdelicious.net to hold any and everything reviewed up to it’s own light. In some cases it’s own shape. More often than not it’s own grunts and sucks. And, always- without a limp-wristed doubt- up to its own smell.
Here at getdelicious.net we think that taking cigarette breaks are just ok. Sometimes it can indicate a kind of fiend-ism though. Other times cigarette breaks can indicate that it is really really gorgeous outside. In the case that today is beautiful cigarette breaks really embody what a lot of people like about music. This site however is devoted to another idea. Thinking that a cigarette break is just an excuse to get the hell out of work is really an idea that we here at getdeicious want to snuggle up to. Wait. Getting the hell out of some responsibility is actual what appreciating music can be mainly channeling in all of us. Maybe. Anyway, we all take cigarette breaks here but take the majority of them inside. Go figure.
In a less abstract way getdeliciousDOTnet is a music editorial website devoted to reviewing. We may give news once in a while but don’t bet on it. Instead we’ll give news of things timeless. When something is extra special it will be a blurb because it’s just too good not to share however as for the bulk of material, it will be in depth or shallow- all of it deceptive in it’s own right. In a short way getdeliciousDOT net is your best friend. The one you do all of your musical consulting and rumbling with. One of the people you actually like talking to about music. We encourage a dialogue. To others maybe we should be that one really above average record shop girl you’ll never really talk to and, despite this, always scheme some sort of perfect conversation never to actually have that happen either.
Ok. Decisions are always being made about the who/why/what/where/and the when to post on getdelicious.net. We request you make all of your own interpretations about everything on this site. If you don’t like something you can let us know at olddelicious@gmail.com. Now it may behoove oneself to understand that if something is wrong with the site, a link is broken, you want your music taken down from getdelicious.net, maybe because your grandmother just won’t be able to “sit right” in her grave anymore as long as your music is available for reviewing purposes, then please feel free to contact us for those things as well.
It’s always said that when confronting anything being considered art that nothing in art is subjective nor is anything truly objective. Such can be the case for criticism we suppose. Well, that may be a really smart way of saying nothing at all but that depends entirely what kind of person you are. We, well, we are no idea men so we say the hell with the lot of that didactic psycho-mumbo jumbo. We are for the most part however still men…some of us. The enjoyable thing about getting away from this kind of thinking may be found in the fact that if art in terms of music, painting, sculpture, personal searching, publicly declaring, movies, the stage, writing and literature – there can be no definitive measure. Just to assure all those weary of some sort of existential catharsis that could be supplanted here; relax. We like open questions to stay open.
Instead, the idea of art as an experience where things can be shared and both the object and the viewer changed/related to the subject in some way lies an idea that while art has no objective unit of measure, could it then be measured in the way of complete opinion and base impression? It’s been done. The internet is a real sick place. People watch scat porn and episodes of 24 for free on this thing while thinking about who they are going to vote for in their city paper’s Best Of 20** list. In this day and age there is no way of telling which direction is up and what pole your facing. What getdeliciousDOTnet is hoping to do is give little direction. We want to give a pat on the behind as well in the direction of your nearest live venue or record store because we love music. And why not? There is plenty of music to pass-off on and literally unlove. Albeit really that seldom happens. So, in any case we hope that the things on getdeliciousDOTnet keep you entertained and informed about what the hell music can be and why you should be loving most of it (what we like).

A DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
getdeliciousDOTnet is not going to -
1. use a confusing ordinal continuum of 1 to 5 to rate music
2. insult your intelligence for asking “stupid” questions
3. describe to you in any way the sounds of music through the coupling of obtuse adjectives
4. spit ball you a baby dump sized projection of the past as well as the present of a bands progression (unless totally necessary)
5. try to use as many gear terms/effects/production techniques as we would like to when writing about music
getdeliciousDOTnet is going to -
1. insult your stupidity for asking “intelligent” questions
2. use a ordinal continuum based from 1 to 5 (see key at bottom of page)
3. make you feel like an upside-down worm trapped in an ice cube with your other half exposed to the sun.
4. evaluate our meager observations in terms of our writers’ personal history in hopes to measure the worth of the artists in question.
5. attempt making some form of support for things we deem agreeable and super agreeable.
A. We reserve the right to be totally awesome.
B. We reserve the right to offend, crush, beat up, and otherwise fuck shit up inside of the realm of music
C. We reserve the right to get up into the ass of anyone, anywhere no matter how “good” people believe a group or individual to be
D. We reserve the right to plug anything as much as we want to for whatever reason we see fit
F. Unsatisfactory comments or otherwise aimlessly hateful stuff will be banned after an undisclosed amount of offenses on a case by case basis
MORE DISCLAIMER
Things to keep in mind when reading this site as well as acting on any advice:
A.) All persons, places and things are real. Actual events and sinuous situations are only sometimes actual. Even then we can’t be too sure about where the truth ends and the half truths begin. Every lie and fabrication to make immediate the weight of some great music more heavy are also real. Nothing on getdeliciousDOTnet is fake (flinches pec muscles).
B.) Any suggestions given by any persons on this site are to be perpetrated at your own risk. All good ideas are in fact good ideas but again probably shouldn’t be taken too literally. Here is where we at getdeliciousDOTnet reserve any an all rights (the money!!!) to every good idea given in any piece of writing/video/a limerick that could potentially be put into practice anywhere, and from that point in time when it is put into practice- and into the limitless future- we would like to be thanked rigorously and our pockets made fat. Wu Tang forever. All this really means is if you like what you read on here and want to “do” something with it just, you know, let us know and grease a palm or something. It’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet these days.
C.) If you hate music you may really enjoy this site. If you like music you may find yourself really enjoying this site. If you love music and read a lot of music blogs and are in fear that you can’t remember if your subscriptions to AP is about to run out we really cannot help you with whether you will like the site or not. The major music blogs of the day are quite something to read. We do it sometimes if it’s early enough, however for te most art getdeliciousDOTnet is something else. It’s new…we think. We like that. We hope you like it too. Whatever though.
D.) What is being explored is not what good music is. What’s being explored is how important the music is. What’s important? Good question. We don’t know. Everything is being considered from a very philanthropic standpoint so everything is important. This is deceiving. Everything is important at first glance. Subsequently some sleek new puppy of an idea about music should be preened out of the oft misinterpreted beginnings of music appreciation. Again we ask you to please make most of your own decisions about what you hear and read on this site. Don’t mind the design. Don’t mind the design. Links for any info will be provided.
DAS FOCUS: a rating system
Music is fun. Going to shows for bands you like is fun. Going to shows where bands sound like someone made a banjo from the stretched spine of a cat is fun too. We really really like watching the recording industry burn down (the candle of the industry is pretty thick and it hain’t burnt all-the-way-down yet, though). We also like saying we like watching the recording industry burn down at the risk of sounding like blatantly awful people almost as much as actually watching it burn down. We sound like jerks and we don’t care!!! You can almost clock the burn these days though. It’s like a stopwatch that refreshes every 108 minutes. Problem: you get as much understanding from starring at that 108 minute measurement as the show I just nodded too.
The staff at getdelicious.net usually clock the demise of the recording industry around 545kb/s on average and at HUGE chunks at a time. Can’t say we see a seed for the record industry’s future anywhere in the ol’browser of tomorrow and here’s not hoping. So what has the recording industry given us (may as well not given us) that we can seem so hateful and cruel you ask? A hell of a lot of great music! A butt-load of a ton of arena tours. U2. And a death wish. They’ve also given us a not-so-accurate dollar amount dealing with the worth of music that seems more like a nightmare Joe: The Plumber would have than some other above average Joe(seph). But…that’s…capitalism??? We had a really weird time trying to type that last sentence. We just gave up.
The rating system at getdelicious.net will be from 1 to 5. The ability to give something a zero does not exist. Now the merits needed to give a 1 to a given record or artist means that there may not be one redeeming factor about them besides the fact that they are able to spend money and make a record. Despite what you think or where you’ve grown up that counts for something. They’ve got things like kickstarter now and tour tip jars too so, they got their money somewheres. That counts for something.
If record or an artist receives a Five then it’s damn good. Good enough to steal and then pay real paper money for, in person.
IF YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE
We’d like to recommend if you think you have something to say about some music we have not covered yet, by all means DO NOT SEND US AN EMAIL WITH AN ENTIRE REVIEW ATTACHED. Simply send a tip or a suggestion of what you would like us to lay our nuts on (critique, feel out, review, laugh at, hold to our chest, write about).
If you would like to contribute an article of your own creation send some sort of semblance of the writing to bigdelicious@getdelicious.net. The semblance should be a no longer than 1000 words and a good idea of what it is you have written. Please adhere to the guidelines that have been laid out above when writing. Also, it would not rub us the wrong way if you also sent something of a bio (a twitter’s length worth) of yourself and your area. Give us a top three of what records you would take with you if you were going to live abroad for one year only. If you have never thought of that don’t worry that’s not really a great sounding criteria to get at what it is you really like. If you expect payment; don’t. There will be none other than payment later that you can use as something to put on your CV.
If you run a magazine, zine, website, blog or piece of toilet paper you want one of our writers to leave their mark on, contact us at bigdelicious@getdelicious.net with subject line: I WANT YOU TO WRITE. We’ll gladly entertain the idea of obliging anyone and any publication if we see fit. Or, if there is some recompense involved.
Thank You
