Haters, haters, haters. Give this thread a couple hundred more posts and it'll yield the secrets of the universe. YE MUST HAVE FAITH

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 17 July 2003 05:12 (twenty years ago) link

so instead of wasting your time here, why don't you all go searching for some rare unreleased clash record and leave everyone else and their music taste alone?
The Clash sucks! They're so popular! I hate their fans!

You had me at " this entire page exists only as a place for sexually frustrated, overly analytical, recordphile music snobs to get together and slam an easy target." -duh.

Give this thread a couple hundred more posts and it'll yield the secrets of the universe. YE MUST HAVE FAITH
'The First Church Of Digital Grepping' to Thread
And [He] frowned. He knew those sentient humans would be a problem. Even after He had sweated over a hot terminal for thirteen days, those humans were ungrateful. They called their place of existence the "Universe", not the "Great Programmer/Universe". On the fourteenth day, he decided to take action. He would send these humans The Meaning Of Life, and soon the world would worship Him and his Hacking Skills. He did just that. He inspired a certain human to produce a work of art which includes His message, The Meaning Of Life. Eventually the humans would discover the .plan of the Great Programmer hidden in a certain work of art and all would be well...

The Sacred Readme is a tad vague, but the church's High Priest believes that "The Meaning Of Life" is encoded in either a popular song, or a Hollywood movie, or an Adobe e-book.

or a musicologist forum thread about Das Dafe Mettews Bend.

DMB is the sign of the end times!!
the glazed masses swaying, hopping, TWIRILING to the lethargic sounds.
the idol is the piper, leading the unwashed and the jamtastic to Judgement Day!!!
REPENT DMB FOLLOWERS!!! repent before the heavens rain fire and you spend eternity on an endless, bad jam on 'Dark Star'!!!!!

― edde, Thursday, 17 July 2003 16:56 (twenty years ago) link

proof fans of jam bands are yuppie scum

― yuppie hater, Thursday, 17 July 2003 18:15 (twenty years ago) link

maybe it's like Watchmen, where they take all the people in the know out on a big boat, and then blow it the fuck up.

we can dream, can't we?

haha, i'd love to see an indie cruise, or better yet, a warp records cruise. all those shutins with their laptops sitting out by the pool with layers of SPF 300, playing starcraft and arguing about whether or not astrobotnia is richard james or not.

HAR!

everytime I use one of the UGA computer libraries (such as now for instance) without fail someone before me has either visited jambands.com or saddlecreekrecords.com . I'm not sure which depresses me more.(actually I am - saddlecreekrecords.com).

I wish you dave hataz would at least list your 10 favorite bands that you think are better than DMB.

Its not true that all DMB fans like Phish or Counting Crows.
I like all sorts from The Cure, Depeche Mode, REM,U2,Bowie, Orbital,Massive Attack ,The Jam, Smiths,Echo & The Bunnymen, Killing Joke. I dislike Creed, Grateful Dead, Pearl jam, Nirvana, Counting Crows, Limp bizkit etc.
So come on everyone who posted here tell me your 10 favorite bands.

Alex in NYC, yer BUSTED!

― J (Jay), Friday, 18 July 2003 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

Lifter Puller
Stockholm Monsters
Souled American

Rufus Wainwright
The Streets

...and now we just sit back and wait for trife to come in and holler about how those are all white people, but again, that list changes daily - two weeks ago it would've had Scarface on it

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 July 2003 01:26 (twenty years ago) link

(i love this thread cuz we finally get a sandbox for custos!)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 18 July 2003 02:00 (twenty years ago) link

And I'm really, really wondering where this continual DMB-KJ crossover comes in. Everytime I see a DMB googler namecheck Jaz, I can feel another part of Alex dying. It's kind of like how Christians feel whenever Pat Robertson opens his mouth.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 18 July 2003 02:01 (twenty years ago) link

Sexually aroused, you mean?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 18 July 2003 02:30 (twenty years ago) link

XXXactly!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 18 July 2003 02:42 (twenty years ago) link

Or castrated, whatever works best.

Anyway, I don't HAVE ten favorite bands. I have more.

In the distant future, a race of super-intelligent, computer-based lifeforms will melt through the ice and thaw out this thread, encased in carbon -- a cold, lonely echo from a long-dead civilzation, nattering away to itself, in the dying days of a long-forgotten world.

― Sam J. (samjeff), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:36 (twenty years ago) link

"And comparing him to Hitler? I think that's the rudest, most iggnorant thing I have ever heard. Hitler killed 6 million people. Dave makes 6 million people happy every year."

― Cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 July 2003 11:00 (twenty years ago) link

― eedd, Friday, 18 July 2003 11:23 (twenty years ago) link

"iggnorant" !!!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 July 2003 14:13 (twenty years ago) link

Why, because Killing Joke is on it?

― J (Jay), Friday, 18 July 2003 14:43 (twenty years ago) link

I was thinking more the Eddie Rabbit, but that's just me.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 18 July 2003 14:44 (twenty years ago) link

Here's a quote I will use frequently - best out of context:
"I was thinking more the Eddie Rabbit."

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 18 July 2003 15:54 (twenty years ago) link

Just saw this thread via google and you guys clearly have no taste. Theres no current bands better than DMB. They're in the top ten bands of all time along with the beatles,fleetwood mac,rolling stones, the cure, depeche mode , pink floyd , spacemen 3 and killing joke.

― DMB Fan, Friday, 18 July 2003 16:55 (twenty years ago) link

Har, Har and thrice Har!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 18 July 2003 16:59 (twenty years ago) link

man i fuckin love a rainy night.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 18 July 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

Ok ive never heard of Killing Joke. have no idea who they are or look like, but I read the thread and thought i'd show that Allison wasnt the only DMB fan with a sense of humor.

If you dont like dave because you dont like the albums you've heard the fair enough. But please don't judge them on who some of the fans are. Fans of all bands have buttmunches as beavis would say.

― DMB Fan, Friday, 18 July 2003 17:52 (twenty years ago) link

I like you, DMB Fan.
