Salem - What kind of music genre is this ?

J0rdan u know that only the realest of the real show up in central MO

that's true!

funny enough t swift's social conservatism gets on my nerves more than this dude's occasional "she say i'm down wih huh" schtick.

is t swift a baby mama grizzly or something?

self-righteous twentysomething girls vs. hipster juggalos: which are worse?

poll

jk

Hah, let's just say I was gonna front but then looked up recent tour dates and now I have to stfu.

you know, after watching that FADER performance and then going back to the recorded version of "Tent", I have no idea what the "oh I don't hear that as them aping a black dialect, you people are making some shady assumptions" were smoking upthread

I guess it just didn't rankle...living in decaying, lower-class Michigan (ie somewhat close to where these guys are from), i've known a LOOOOOOOOT of drug-addled white dunderheads that act like they're trying to be black. Sometimes they don't even have to be into ICP.

I tell you what, if this album is in fact made by bottom-feeding crackhead juggalos, then I'm even more impressed than before...

that this stage is sponsored by one of the last successful magazines standing & a brand with worldwide name recognition & permanent cache

ceut way to say "a branding company that happens to have a magazine"

i don't think levi's owns FADER

Fader is a marketing company. You think they make their money selling bucketloads of magazines with Trash Talk on the cover?

i'm saying that you're misreading j0hn's sentence

ceut way to say "a branding company that happens to have a magazine"

Whiney you & I are on the same HxCx side of the fence I thought -- your lookout probably requires you to know which magazines are connected with which companies etc but i assure you that in my heart it's 1993 and I read MRR and there's only 1 company anyway so why would I parse the connections, this ain't Vanity Fair

wonder what they'll change their name to if one of the umpteen other bands named Salem sends a cease & desist

I vote for "Salem Alaikum"

Salem 66 & Cosloy plotting their revenge from the original Homestead office, now a McDonald's in Uniontown

I asked Gerard to verify and he said "Salem, I hardly know em"

missing the days when "they sucked live" was a valid reason to dislike a band

This Last Night in Salem

if they do a live album it should be called "salem if ya got 'em"

The Internet kind of ruined music for me...

omg lock thread.

anybody here who would not be willing throw the dice & maybe end up looking like something of an asshole for many thousands of dollars can cast the first stone, but I'm guessing that if I had a lie detector test and a stack of hundreds that climbed up past ankle level, most of us here would be "where do I bust out the shitty rap?" Salem sucked because they don't really know what they're doing yet & hadn't really thought about playing outside of their element. In about a year they'll sound live like they sound on record & the only person who'll remember the Fader Fort performance will be markers.

I submit this thread for the now inevitable Most Boring Thread About A Band You Really Like, Like You Stop Even Checking It For New Answers After A While Poll

My copy of the LP finally arrived today (pre-ordered on 8/24). Came with a bonus limited single thing. Anyone heard this?

goose belly

@ ilxor well you gotta admit markers has probably got a tattoo of the Fader Fort screencap at this point

no, fuk u

mine only came with a record

Well, if it's any consolation, I ordered this back in August and just got it today.

Big news this morning, via CNN:

World rejoices rescue of 33 music fans, but daunting tasks await

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- After 69 days and a cost as high as $20 million, 33 music fans have finally been extracted from the bowels of a Salem live performance. To roaring applause, ILX President Tom Ew1ng placed a metal cap on top of the Fader Fort entrance early Thursday morning -- and marked the end of a rescue operation that captivated the globe.

But in a way, the story is just beginning -- both for the fans, who now must live with their new status as indie heroes and the spotlight that comes with it, and the Internet, whose attention turns to protecting listeners' safety.

"I hope this will never happen again," said music critic Whiney G. Weingarten, the last listener out of the Fader Fort, as underrated aerosmith albums i have loved embraced him.

"I am so proud of what you have done," BIG HOOS told the president. "Thank you to all the rescuers, to all of ILX, to everyone. I am so proud to be free."

"We had hope that someday we would be rescued," markers said.

Rescue worker Ned Raggett, the first human being to descend in a custom-made soundproof capsule to reach the fans, was the last of six rescuers to emerge. He waved and bowed before a SXSW camera before climbing into the capsule for the last time.

Colleagues and onlookers cheered as Raggett surfaced, with lex pretend quipping, "Did you leave everything in order in there? Are the beds made? You didn't turn off the light."

could you try harder to be funny when you post, thanks

A++, ilxor. actual irl lols

ILM in a nutshell

fucking horrific

ban them all, let God sort them out

The funny standards for lesser-known posters are a problem for ILX, Mr. Que said on ILX's "Salem - What kind of music genre is this ?" thread Thursday.

"There's two realities," he said. One is for the well-respected posters, who have excellent funny standards, and the second is the medium and small posting operations with lower standards.

The oversight for lesser-known ILX posters must be increased, Mr. Que said.

For the moment, however, elation over the Salem live performance rescue remained high among ILXors.

"Yesterday was happiness, spiritual highness," HI DERE said. "Today, perfection is the word, and the way that man can defy destiny with spirit and also with human support and human efforts."

ILM's 9/11

wtf at all this.
