Wut...2 days off...in a row? Like getting to do what you want even if it's absolutely nothing, for two whole days?

You crazy, man.

Seeing "singer-songwriter" in someone's last.fm description is an automatic page back for me.

I've never really understood that description. A dude in a noise rock band who writes the songs and sings is technically a singer-songwriter, so why does the label only refer to people who play acoustic guitar or maybe piano?

it was a commercial designation, intended to separate the Dylans, Neil Youngs, Joni Mitchells, and James Taylors from "rock" per se. which is kind of daft considering that all the above have recorded songs in "rock" settings.

Yeah, that's where it really falls apart. You could go see Neil Young and get all acoustic, all loud rock, or some mix in-between, and his records are much the same, yet he's still always described as a singer-songwriter. It just seems really lazy to me. :idk:

I think Achtane illustrated why that designation exists quite well actually.

But I like a whole bunch of artists described as singer-songwriters. The label does make me wary of listening to someone new, but it's not always a bad thing.
