Self-Titled Albums

Are a cop-out.

Seriously. How much creativity does it take to decide to call your album whatever your name is.

Here's what I think...release a self-titled album after you are already well established. So when people see the album called "Self Titled" they know exactly what they're getting.

Then it's like a statement.

Besides the fact that a lot of the time the album title is also a song title, and since most people have already named their songs, creating an album title shouldn't be that hard.

On a totally unrelated note, I saw advertisement on a bus today that said 'Rethink AIDS.'

I probably missed some very important, essential information that would have explained exactly what that meant.

But all I could think was, "isn't it a little too late to be rethinking AIDS."

Like, a few decades.
