Lying about leaks is a sexual fetish some people have. Doodiebear is reading our responses and coming all over himself.

This is from the Xiu Xiu site:
dear liger thank you for standing up for yourself
dear people on the shzine board who think they have a right to whatever they want in life without expending any effort and certainly without maintaining any respect for attempts at art,
it is not about money it is about perpetuation
if you want to hear stupid heartless music that is made by people who do not care about you then please continue to make it harder and harder for artists who do care enough about you to try and make something in the world that has the potential to be meaningful
you are acting spoiled, presumptuous, entitled and childish
why do you think that the world owes you music or anything? you owe the world your honesty when you have been presented with honesty.
fuck you and go back to hell where you were born
love
jamie

If you'd like to read Caralee's point of view on illegal downloading:
thoughts on illegal downloads
hmmm....
i think that i agree with jamie. is there any reason that people who can afford a computer or ipod not afford to be able to buy a c.d.? where do people get their money for those things? i get my money to buy these things from selling records and touring. i could go to where you work and get you fired somehow (i can be pretty amazingly crazy) and then you wouldnt have any money to buy the things you love and need. do people even like music? or do they just want to say that they heard it before everyone else did? i have to say that unless the world ends before jan. 29th i PROMISE that you will hear the new xiu xiu record. dont get me wrong im super flattered that people are excited about hearing it. i just wonder why you have to hear it NOW! i think that people dont really understand how devastating it is for us when things leak. not just us but for all of the people that our involved with puting out our music. do you even like xiu xiu? if you did you would know that we need money to make music. it sucks i hate money i wish that we could all go live in the woods and farm and play acoustic instruments that dont require power, but we dont and we wont and we are a part of modern society and unfortunately that means that my synth requires power and i also have to pay for it because i dont know how to make one by myself. i also work at a coffee shop by the way. i make lattes. i suck at it. but i do it because i need to make music. its all i know how to do. its the only thing that makes sense to me. i cannot do this if people dont respect us enough to pay for our music.

wow, where did that come from?
generally, and i think this goes for all of us, fans of the shzine board are fanatical about xiu xiu releases, both in online format and cd release.

i find those blog posts really embarrassing, especially seeing how they are based on this message board, which is filled by 30 or so (50?) of their most die-hard fans, who basically own anything xiu. maybe it is a good thing that they express this, maybe people don't know this but it just seems lame to me.
of course they have daily jobs, of course they are struggling, but who isn't? i'm not saying that this is how it should be, i wish it were different, they have every right to be angry about how things are and maybe the blog posts will make a couple of persons feel guilty and buy the records they have downloaded, but making peope feel guilty is a. going to be more and more difficult and b. a somehow pathetic way of selling cds.
what do you think ?

I don't care if this sounds like pathetic ass-licking, but I prefer waiting for ages and getting all excited about it. It reminds me of childhood.
pos, I agree with some of what you're saying, but I hate the whole "well everyone is struggling, so that means everyone has the right to do whatever". Which is what it sounds like. I don't think those blog posts will make anyone feel guilty, and it's definitely not a "pathetic way of selling cds". 90% of the people who read the blog and go on here are going to buy every tiny thing Xiu Xiu are associated with anyway, not be guilted into having to a buy a CD.
