Last month I wrote briefly about the music of SxSW, where I mentioned Happy Flowers and a song of theirs that I didn’t much care for. What I forgot when writing that was that everyone succumbs to that inevitable temptation to Google themselves, which I’m assuming is how I ended up with a comment from one of the band members on my post.

So suffice it to say, I feel bad. The difference between insulting a company and insulting a band is that bands aren’t necessarily in it for the money. It’s a creative expression and any comments made can be taken very personally. With that said, I apologize to the band since the my commentary could be considered rather harsh and possibly over the top. While the style of music is not one that I particularly care for the band’s talent for improvisation is one to be respected.

Hopefully this will serve as a reminder to me to rethink what I write in the future.
