I guess we had a handshake agreement, but I'd rather call in sick. I guess you smile, but I've never seen it. But the shelves are still emptying quick. And your supply exceeds our demands. I'm a coward, making small retractions on the way to the seminar. If I'm a self-made man without any answers it's because the questions aren't being asked. There's disquiet in the target market. There's unrest on the shelves. I will not be appointed. I do not have an appointment. I will not be disappointed.
A song for all my friends and peers who resist corporatising their art, who see ways to do what they do without climbing up the traditional career ladder, and who use things like independent media and crowdfunding, as well as just creating for it's own sake, as a way of sustainably producing brilliant shit rather than just demanding patronage. You're inspiring.
