Craig’s List is fascinating: a market place, a meeting place, a meat market. Apart from single-handedly decimating the traditional media’s classified revenues, Craig’s List also provides some mighty humor.
To start off a new blog-only segment, “dconstructing craig,” we bring you a fine specimen of local Dallas music classifieds, an ad so compelling and rich that, well, uh: wow. If this is the future of rock, then give me Adult Contemporary Christian.
we are an original rock band that has over 50 songs ,i play guitar and sing and also create, we also have a drummer and we practice all the time,we need serious musicians that are easy to get along with and dont have there head up there ass, we will be recording a cd soon so we need you to complete the sound ,ages between 18 and 33 reply ,im 29 and our drummer is 24 we sound like nirvana,beatles,doors,and a few different heavy metal bands , it depends on the song, anyways we hope to here from you soon because we are ready, are you?
A few things to note:
- It’s a single sentence. Must be a Joyce fan.
- “we sound like nirvana, beatles, doors” doesn’t contradict “we are an original rock band,” does it?
- Every band needs a frontman who can “and also create.” Ability to spell and punctuate optional.
- I like the super-arbitrary 33-year-old cut-off. Jesus would have just made it.
- The guy who wrote this is 29 years old. IJS.
