The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I am compiling the rules of music. So far I have only a few
1. If you have ever written a song about an item of clothing, you are a cunt
2. If you have ever written a song "inspired" by a film of the calibre of say, Ghost Rider, you are a cunt. Quality of film is not the issue, subject matter is. No one is that inspired by Spider-Man
3. Your talent as a musician is inversely proportionate to the amount of times you say your own name in the song title
4. Sing in your own accent. Jesus Christ, how hard is that.
5. Love songs sung by five men all wearing identical white suits and occasionally dancing have a sinister quality
7. The following are not acceptable subject material for songs
Veganism
Your own body parts
The death of your grandmother
How much you love to party
How bad it is to be famous
How impressive your fighting abilities are
How happy your are in your relationship. NO ONE IS HAPPY IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. WE ARE NOT FOOLED BY YOU.
How "bananas" your "shit" is

Rule 8: If you are still indie after like 10 years it is probably because you suck, not because the audience just doesn't get you.

But Tube,
2Gether was a pretty rad band
i mean you said no-one is that inspired by spider-man
but what about being inspired by iron man
or am i being thick?
when i was playing more, i was incredibly interested in guitar solos i knew weren't actually hard or really even that good
You don't want anyone to sing it.
See : "The Killers"
Often times the beatles don't sound very british when they sing, how do they fit into this rule? (see: Rocky Racoon on the White Album)

Playing with mutants and somesuch?
to be fair he says that to everyone
I can't imagine I'm the first person he's said that to.
That's my point, they don't qualify because their accent is British, and they aren't singing like whoever that guy who sings for "The Darkness."
Eric Clapton also doesn't qualify as an English musician who sings in a british accent.
Rule of thumb: if odd time is used well, no one will notice.
