Worse than the Pitch Revvy Rev thread, lex?

xp

xp that's a remarkably confusing statement.

xpost

thread has become depressing :(

plus thank you to whoever suggested the ", away!" bit

i would like to point out that this is the guy who pondered whether salem would be "big like my morning jacket"

you are confused. he said the guy from salem wears a big jacket.

typically in the a.m. hours

while smoking crack through the gas station man's penis

Please Confirm...Do you really want to delete these bookmarks?

Big like The Knife, maybe, big like My Morning Jacket, not a chance. Because life is unfair and people are stupid.

Totally my favorite band of the year so far

Yeah, I can see how this totally reads all "A-derr, you think this will be as huge as those My Morning Jacket fellows everyone keeps on screaming about?"

it's certainly not among the 50 worst posts in this thread, if that means anything

At least 10 freed Salem fans will go home Friday

October 15, 2010 10:38 a.m. EDT

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- At least 10 rescued Salem fans will be released Friday from the Austin Regional Hospital, officials said.

Their departure marked the beginning of the end of a frenzied day of joy that erupted Wednesday as the men -- who spent more than two months trapped in a Salem performance in the Levi's Fader Fort -- were rescued.

"I was afraid that I was not going to meet the child that was on the way. It was the thing that most scared me," said k3vin k. His girlfriend is expecting a child in November.

J0rdan S., the 28th fan, spoke to journalist nabisco shortly after his rescue Wednesday.

"I think the worst thing is to pass three, four, five days without hearing Titus Andronicus; to know that there might not be any future," he said.

J0rdan S. told nabisco he was afraid he would die in the Fader Fort.

"We were all waiting for that. We were all very thin. I lost 12 kilos (about 27 lbs)," he said.

Meanwhile, ILX shifted its attention to protecting the rest of the board's music fans.

"This we can guarantee: Never again are we going to permit listening in such an unsafe and inhumane environment as a Salem live performance," Tom Ew1ng said, adding that other venues fall into this category.

"We are going to create a culture of respect for life, health and dignity of our ears," he said.

come back to this thread when you aren't being irritating

recap:

ilxor says he's down with us; dan perry says "BITCH YOU ALOOOOONE"

thank you

if ilxor was here too, i'd still be near myself

ilxor didn't even edit that one properly, title says 10 Salem fans, but mentions j0rdan as the 28th fan. INTERNAL JOKE LOGIC FAIL.

wow ILM is getting dire...

seriously what the fuck is up with ppl?

^ borad descrip

It pains me to say, but I've just got in from watching (amongst other bands) White Ring, the loosely Salem affiliated group and the vocals live were painfully bad. Like one of the worst vocal performances I've ever witnessed. From tone deaf 'scary' little girl sing song voice to tone deaf bellowing, as if the singer had just unexpectedly trodden on an upturned plug in the middle of the night or kicked a metal radiator with no shoes on.

Which is a shame because the music (I think the guy is oOoOOO) was pretty good.

release da bore amiright

u need 2 go by the name Saul Goode bro

best idea u've had all thread

that's a shame about white ring, doran, they're one of the few acts affiliated with all this that i find compelling. though i must say "bet this would be good live" isn't a thought that leaps to mind about this aesthetic at all, dunno why people would expect that.

in a bid to drag this thread upwards again (lol like it ever was) - v smart stuff from richfourfour as ever: http://fourfour.typepad.com/fourfour/2010/10/on-rape-movies-and-gazes.html

particularly pertinent comparison to portishead imo.

I thought the Portishead comparison was kind of stupid, actually. Like, how is a white dude affecting a black accent while mumbling over spacy beats even remotely comparable to that first Portishead album, which was a wispy jazz singer crooning over hip-hop beats?

I am not at all cool with white people playing gatekeeper with music that originated with black people; your skin color doesn't matter if you are good at what you're doing and that entire aside basically threw the end result out of the window for some gross "but it's WHITE people doing BLACK music!" concern-trolling that doesn't even make sense when listening to that first Portishead album.

HI DERE otm, why would there be controversy if portishead's first album was coming out now?

thread was worth it if it got us to this post. (this is actually underrated aero btw post some weirdness w/login)

ha by "kind of" I really meant "incredibly"

I need to stop hedging

Vibing
Vibing 2 some rapegaze [link]
Really listening to this exciting new genre
thinking abt what it makes me feel

Do I feel 'dark'?
Am I ready to leave behind the vibes of chillwave?
Should I 'rage against the mainstream indie machine'
and only vibe out 2 rape gaze mp3s?

Thinking abt my sexual desires
Wondering if there is something 'deviant' inside of me
that makes me vibe hard to rapegaze music
like I can watch online pornography on mute
and listen to the dark sounds of salem

I feel like I will never go thru a hardcore drug addiction phase
Will never live in a shithole crack den meth lab apartment
Do drugs that involve needles
have sex in a graveyard
communicate with spirits
Have my bros crucify me just 4 shits
Sell my body for drugs
Contract some sort of infection/STD/terminal illness

Just dark ass shit

Feel like I'm always gonna be kinda mnstrm
and I won't ever be that dark
So maybe listening to rapegaze on my iPhone/Macbook is the only way 4 me
to sorta embed myself in that lifestyle

Do u <3 rapegaze?
Is there a high demand in the blogosphere 4 rapegaze mp3s?
Do u want more rapegaze coverage in the blogosphere?
Is Salem the world's worst buzzband?

carles can really kill it sometimes

lol i just grabbed that last bit

Just dark ass shit

http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2010/10/vibing-2-some-rape-gaze.html

'vibing to some rape gaze' is just

"King Night" sounds o holy night redone by some kid who spends his free evenings making overclocked remixes

Next phase, chillwave, rape gaze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

A+

imo btw chillwave & rapegaze are noble but failed attempts by this generation to come up with a term as stupid as "post-rock" but better luck next time you guys, we are dumber by far and "post-rock" is the proof

"shitgaze" however I gotta hand it to you, that one had us running scared for a minute

shit robot was what first scared me. like, fuck, this generation doesn't even respect the robots? made me sad.

aw cmon aerosmith, 'rapegaze' is certainly a scourge on this earth, and a sign from the heavens that someday this will all be washed away...

(plz refrain from all Rape-ture joeks plz)

any genre that gets its name by leapfrogging off a name as already terrible as "shoegaze" is not gonna bring the quality

my bloody valentine were pretty rapey anyway

i get the impression "rape gaze" is meant to be a twist on "male gaze" rather than a ref to shoegaze
