My favorite part of most angry letters is the fact that most people tend to make a point of telling me how much they don’t care what I think. They obviously care enough to write a letter with an inordinate amount of CAPITALIZATION. Inaction is the true result of no concern. But you already know this. I received what will be the final exchange of letters from The Kommunity FK Kamp. I have not responded and don’t plan to. These things start off as silly and remain so until at long last one or both parties blocks the sender’s email address.

I find this letter particularly interesting because, despite whatever affiliation this person has with the band, they are most certainly coming from a defensive stance and are in fact, acting as representation. As for my feelings towards lead singer Patrick Mata himself. I don’t know him personally and probably never will, at this rate. My opinion of him is based on a purely superficial level. He’s the lead singer of a band that I enjoy and nothing more. While I do realize that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Patrick Mata or the band itself, I can’t help but feel that any band should monitor their contact with the press. This would ensure letters such as these don’t reach reader’s eyes and potentially close off what could very well be a healthy relationship between press and artist. Letters as these leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I’ll continue to post news (if any) and play songs in the podcast…because that’s what I do. As for the person who wrote this letter…let’s just say that I am, at the very least, amused. Grateful for a good laugh and life goes on. Fodder for blog posts.

Cinka,

First off I am not upset.

Second of all I AM NOT THE BAND’S MANAGER/MANAGEMENT (I never said that I was Kommunity FK’s manager.)  It’s none of your business, but I am a highly paid Mistress. I make large amounts of money by beating subservient worms like you into a pulp.

As for you ‘merely pointing out it looked like Patrik was stoned’ is NOT how you had it come across in your slanderous writing. Are you so small minded that you ‘judge’ people of all genres off of a ‘sticker?’ Patrik placed that sticker on his vintage teardrop Vox guitar when his band ‘Sativa LuvBox’ was signed to their major label. That particular band is still HUGE internationally and for that reason he keeps that sticker on his vintage guitar.  Are you some kind of ill-mannered ‘Reaganite’ with your own personal ‘war on drugs’ agenda? So, again, your writing that Patrik was stoned and has been stoned for years is SLANDEROUS. The ELDERS in the ‘Deathrock’ scene know of the fact that Patrik has been clean and sober for years. You and your opinion just prove you know nothing about the music or Patrik, for that matter, of whom you write
articles/reviews about.

Again, I don’t give a shite what your opinion is.

Kommunity FK and Patrik have never paid attention to any thoughts/reviews that have ever been written about the band. A true artist doesn’t listen to any propaganda. True art is Art. Art survives only when it stays on it’s own thought. As far as I know Patrik and Kommunity FK haven’t even seen your tiny opinion. If Patrik did ever see it I’m sure he would get a good laugh at the poorly written piece.

Kommunity FK has been in the music business since 1978. So again, your other poorly ill-conceived opinion of Kommunity FK is “in the wrong business” is so off. If you cannot handle the fact someone is going to tell you that your writing is wrong/slanderous/ and/or poorly researched then you, my dear, are the one who is in the wrong business. If someone writes to you that actually stands up for the truth and it bothers you-you are not a true writer.

Slander is slander.  You and your opinions need to be stated as an opinion. If you plan to stay a writer-LEARN YOUR FACTS.

Patrik loves his fans. He has made that very clear time and time again in books, articles, and at live shows worldwide.  Patrik’s fans love him as well….

Goodbye worm. My time is too precious to continue this futile agenda. Take it from an Elder and a Mistress…You have a lot to learn. Perhaps you should change your name to “Rethinka”?

Rethinka. Touche.

This letter is what we in the writing profession call “talking out of your ass”. It’s a heavy attempt at being clever with a deep desire to come off as intelligent. Read the last letter and ponder the word “unstudious” a minute. Yes dear, you probably could beat me to a pulp, but I’m not sure I could afford you. I honestly have nothing against Patrick. If he does or doesn’t smoke pot…who fucking cares? Actually, these letters (albeit amusing) tend to bother me because they’re ridiculous on every level. I don’t try to make enemies or piss people off, but it comes with the territory. All in a days work. At my core, I am truly someone who cares about the scene and the music spawned from it. It should be assumed that everything I write is merely opinion. What else would it be? I’m not writing freaking book reports here.

I got things to do. What a total waste of time.
