OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

Oh yeah. It wouldn't surprise that Passion is his favorite Gabriel album.

noodle vague otm

lol @ ppl getting mad over that sheffield review

probably anyone would have a low opinion of prog after reading rick moody's raves about it

prog bashing is the most tired bullshit imho

that piece gives me nostalgic memories of the 1992 rolling stone album guide.

KRISTEN STEWART HAS A NEW BLACK FLAG TATTOO AND IT DEPRESSES THE HELL OUT OF ME

by "The Jaded Punk"

want to believe that's a joke

Sebadoh kicked off their first tour after a 14 year hiatus at Bootleg Tuesday night. Bassist Dave Barlow and Jay Mascis wrote songs as little known, late '80s band, called Dinosaur Jr. Barlow started a side project, Sebadoh, which then became a underdog indie group that gained serious street cred throughout the years. Their soon to be released LP, "Defend Yourself" comes out in stores Sept 17th. Opening the night was a heavy guitar trio called the Dumb Numbers. Indie Alt-Rock royalty reigned supreme and reclaimed their throne at this eastside establishment.

LOL

Dave Barlow is indeed little known.

LOU

Haha holy shit that's amazing

There are also unknown little known bands. These are bands we don't know we don't know.

That dude's pretty far up his own asshole

The Jaded Punk piece is hilarious. Change the names and dates and it could be from any year between now and 1977.

^ yeah that's p disgraceful

Scott Creney might be the worst music writer in the entire world circa 2013

I've never heard of him before but he comes across as a total dick in that piece. I like the idea that Savages were poised for massive success until Scott Creney bravely spoke the truth on Collapseboard and it all came crashing down.

You can just call it "spelunking".

i looked at a few other reviews from him. they mostly read like he's writing as he's hearing the music for the first time and kept that draft.

lol, LA Weekly updated that Sebadoh blurb

Thank you to award-winning East Coast journalist Daniel Ralston for bringing the problems with this blurb to my attention. It was not, in fact, satire, but had a number of mistakes. Dinosaur Jr., as we all knew, were huge in the late '80s, and "Dave Barlow" is the name Lou uses on sabermetrics baseball sites and not in an official bassist capacity. L.A. Weekly regrets the errors.

Wait did I miss something.

"And contending in the World Series of Poker, Fred Albini."

see the original blurb above

I don't read the point of that piece as being that. Seems to me to be more a satirisation of the lack of importance of the individual music writer, and a frustrated yelp at the power and money thrown behind the chosen bands to make sure they break.

Generally I don't dig most of the negative Collapseboard stuff but I kinda enjoyed this one.

oh its irony i see

Satirony

I don't think you can namecheck "A Modest Proposal" with anything meant to be taken at face-value and still claim to understand English but that doesn't really make this piece well-constructed or particularly clear about the point it's trying to make.

xp yeah I mean I get that he wasn't being entirely serious this time out but the level of narcissism in basically everything he writes is off the scale

its a waste of time and kinda dumb but that's what this thread is for! so, appropriate. nice of him to give a shout-out to my pals in blanche blanche blanche though. they are funny.

Pretty much every piece I've ever read on Collapse Board has been suffused with a massively overblown belief in their own importance. And if anything they've ever done has been intended to be funny, it's blown right past me.

Couldn't we just post this link here and close this thread?

I don't really understand that Collapse Board post. It can't be sincere right? It has to be some deadpan big indie rock business parody or something, right? RIGHT?

like the nirvana press release one last week?

loool matthew perpetua is a buzzfeed editor??

xp OK, busted. Skimread it, knowing nothing about the writer, missed the irony. Now don't see the point the irony is trying to make.

So it fails as a serious piece, and as an ironic / satirical piece. So it's doubleshit.

Not writing, but music journalism of a sort. I went looking for podcasts of Duff McKagan interviews and found a recent one by a guy named Jay Mohr. I'd never heard of him, but about 10 minutes into the podcast I did a search on him and I guess his name has a little bit of currency around here. Anyway, the interview was like the sound of a bird flying into a window and then getting back up and doing it again and again and again for about an hour and a half. McKagan handled the situation really well, but it was super-awkward. One of the worst interviewers I've ever heard.

This is all p funny considering 2004 ILX's inflated sense of self worth

well let me fire up my time machine and send that zing back to 2004 ilx where i'm sure it will elicit a sharp response

wait, what happened in 2004?

when whiney showed up here in mid-2005, he was so disgusted by the old posts he saw in the archives that he decided to stay for EIGHT YEARS and do something to make this a better place

is that the year that ilm singlehandedly made Xiu Xiu a household name?

it was the year that Annie came from Norway with a suitcase in her hand

CREEM magazine circa fall 1973 and summer 1974 but not winter '73 and maybe a bit of spring '74 (but definitely winter '75), I'M CALLING YOU OUT
