Shellie

Someone with eyes so blue it is as if gravity no longer applies and you are swimming in the sky. Someone whose heart is so big you feel as if you are the most important person in the world. Someone whose kiss is so sweet it is as exciting as the a first and as tender as a last. Someone who smells so sensational you are instantly addicted to her fragrance. Someone whose embrace is so comfortable you immediately lose all awareness of your surroundings. Someone with a legs are so fine all you can think is what they would be like around you. Someone with a smile is so bright that pierces the darkest cloud warming you with its brilliant rays. Someone who is so beautiful in all she says and does that her memory never fades.
The mere thought of Shellie transformed the coldest concrete car garage into a bit of heaven.

To experience Shellie albeit for a short time is to experience something never forgotten.

Selling Out

A rather obsolete term people use to describe bands that have become more mainstream/commercial, usually after signing to a major label. Of course, just because a band has become more mainstream doesn't mean they've 'sold out'- it just means they have more money to spend on professional recordings, greater exposure, etcetera. And as long as a band does not prioritise money over their artistic vision then they should not be accused of wrongdoing. And the fact is, the majority of people who accuse bands of selling out are just irate at the fact that their music is no longer exclusive to them and the niche audience that they can brag about being a part of. So long as money exists people will always have a reason to accuse a band of being in cahoots with men in black suits. Besides, a lot of landmark albums in specific genres have been released when a band had signed to a major label. A band can't help it if their music appeals to the mainstream, so give them a break. And the only artists who should be accused of selling out are those manufactured by heartless record execs with a fetish for money, not those who set out to be a band and sign to a major to gain greater exposure and the recognition they deserve. At the end of the day, everyone's a sellout anyway: we all support the establishment whether we intend to or not, so don't forget that next time you target another band with the 'selling out' ethos.
Dude 1: God, why are you listening to Green Day? they've totally sold out since signing to Warner Bros. You should listen to the Sex Pistols, at least they're not some commercial wannabe rock band.
Dude 2: You do realise that the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI, Virgin and even Warner Bros. right?
Dude 1: (remains silent)
Dude 2: Exactly... so your 'selling out' arguments a bit naive isn't it?

selling out

Success/fame or any other kind of personal gain at the cost of credibility; and ANYBODY could be a sellout not just a musician/band. There's things that you get naturally and there's things that require selling out to have. And what sucks more is that you can't go back after you did it.
I don't want to name names so I can't give an example of selling out.
