Well, I hardly expect them to go around bragging about it.  New Dweebs
On The Block claim that they're doing music they love, coming from the
heart, honest musicians, blah blah blah.  Bull cookies.  I respect
bands who are crap and admit that they're doing it for the money.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik spring to mind.  They took the piss out of it.
Sanctimonious yabbos hypocritically claiming "art" while all the while
keeping their eyes on the Bottom Line make me ill.
