OS BASTARD FAIRIES FORA DAS REDES SOCIAIS

As fadas bastardas, de que sou seguidor e desde há algum tempo também fã no Facebook, anunciaram hoje por mail aos seus fãs que saíam das redes sociais, desiludidos com a capacidade destas em serem um meio adequado de divulgação de conteúdos com alguma profundidade. E pela quantidade de junk diverso que se circula e se acumula. Os BF não quiseram confundir a sua música e a sua arte com a festa da criancinha e a dor nas costas.

Provavelmente é só um sinal avulso, sem consequências, mas não deixa de ser um sinal interessante. Aqui fica a transcrição de parte do mail.

A proposito, aqui ficam alguns dos motivos porque sou fã da banda: uma lucidez criativa muito interessante e uma ironia fina. Além da Yellow ThunderWoman, claro, índia despudorada e de pura raça que é mais que metade do encanto metade avant-garde do duo.

"Which brings us to Social Networks. We embraced Myspace when we started The Bastard Fairies, again it seemed like a great way to build a fan base it was a way for us to connect direct and have interaction with those who liked our music.
But like any good thing people get hooked on it, and they want more, they exploit it, they abuse it and they ruin it.
Myspace is dead, it became like a trash can festering with cockroaches. So many bad bands, so many adverts, so much spam. Facebook on the surface seems better, but if you are our fan, we want to be able to connect with you directly. Not by posting a status update and hoping you might glance at it, buried amongst the talk of how bad someone's back is or how they are on their way to the gym. Who fucking cares. Facebook is basically a digital corner shop or hair salon without offering a service, people just fucking gossip about crap. And to ensure that you don't say to much, they limit the amount of characters to say it in. Well we're sorry but we've got a little more to say than that.

We want to connect with you on our terms, which is why we are happy you opted to join our mailing list. We are in control of this. We chose what goes out and when. The experience isn't diluted by adverts and we know when we send something we are getting through."
