It's nice when you've accomplished something, and an added bonus is when ppl come up to congratulate you on your success. But there seems to be a line that several people have crossed. I'll mention an example. Brandon Flowers of "teh Killerz". Back in 2004, Flowers and Co released "Hot Fuss" a pretty good album which recieved quite a bit of attention and critical acclaim.

Obviously the pressure was on to meet or exceed the success of their debut. So what does he do? He proceeds to shit-talk about legends in the music industry (as well as up-and-comers) and how he wants them to worship at his feet. He even went on to say that Radiohead's last few albums have been nothing but noise (
BLASPHEMY!!!) and that his upcoming album "Sam's Town" will go down as the best album of the past 20 years.
So, what do they give us? This steaming pile:

Apparently they managed to ask their guitar player to pose in a swimsuit and goat decided to show up just for kicks.

So... where am i getting to with this rant? Well, a few minutes ago I stumbled upon a blog featuring an article I was mildy interested in. It wasn't until took a closer look at the blogger's bio that I realized I could read no further. He fucking toots his own horn so much it made my eyes bleed.
SRSLY? Who calls themselves a "Six-Figure Blogger" and an "Internet Business Evangelist"
what a douchebag!
