News / I'm Drunk! / R.I.P. Attention Musicians: Your Services Are No Longer Required

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 1:05 PM

Dear Musicians,
We have appreciated your effort and talent lo these many years, and can't thank you enough for pouring your heart and soul into music for us to enjoy. However, we have reached the end of that long road, and you have simply been rendered obsolete. Please do not take offense; such is the way of things. The Musician, regrettably, must now go the way of the Milkman, the Switchboard Operator, and the Print Journalist. You see, thanks to Microsoft Songsmith, we simply no longer require musicians to provide our music.


Thanks to Dane for the link.

Unbelievable. I NEED to get that. I am so sick of writing songs. Funny to think of what trouble I have put myself through when it really should have been this simple all the while.

I'm more curious about the "I'm Drunk!" tag, seeing as how this was posted at 1pm today. Ned, do we need to have a talk?
