Geir at last has a spiritual relative!

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:01 (twenty years ago) link

(FYI, Pitchfork was in the process of redoing that godawful Top 100 of the 90s when I quit).

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:01 (twenty years ago) link

urge to kill...rising

The guy in Boogie Nights that they try and rob, the creator of "My Awesome Mix Tape #6", is what I imagine Jess Harvell to look and act like.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:04 (twenty years ago) link

ott, i was thinking this the other day: do you own any music made by black people?

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:05 (twenty years ago) link

Geir at last has a spiritual relative!

I think it's closer than that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:07 (twenty years ago) link

What caused you to think that, Jess? And do you think there's an inherent value to a particular music simply because it was made by black people?

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:07 (twenty years ago) link

one of your former pitchfork staffers linked me to a website where you detailed your record collection. quite detailed. and i just didn't remember seeing any. odd, is all.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:10 (twenty years ago) link

ott, if it's not too personal a question, why did you leave Pfork?

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:10 (twenty years ago) link

"Geir at last has a spiritual relative!
I think it's closer than that."

If you're suggesting I am this person, you are wrong-o.
I post as djdee2005 on sound opinions.
I'm not trying to get in a fight hear.
Just bouncing ideas around.
People need to relax.

"What caused you to think that, Jess? And do you think there's an inherent value to a particular music simply because it was made by black people?"

I hope this isn't directed at me in some way...because this is far from what I'm suggesting.

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:10 (twenty years ago) link

And of course by "hear" I mean "here."

What a clever unintentional pun.

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:11 (twenty years ago) link

"I hope this isn't directed at me in some way"
it's not it was in response to "ott, i was thinking this the other day: do you own any music made by black people?"

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

People need to relax.

Sure do!

What a clever unintentional pun.

Good god. I just read that, didn't I.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

(i think the funniest thing is that my last comment before chris took a potshot at me wasn't even directed at him.)

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

HAHAHA! I was thinking that myself!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

Have I made an enemy?

"Good god. I just read that, didn't I."

Tongue firmly planted in cheek sir.

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

back to the original question, what would you change now ned?

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

What is so terrible about Boyzone is the extremely feminine and
oh-so-"emotional" vocal style. Plus at least some of the other boy bands
have good production.

As for Beatles there is absolutely NOTHING about Boyzone to make them
deserve a comparision to The Fab Four.

Never EVER has ONE single Beatles member EVER written something that is
even remotely close to a MOR ballad. Paul McCartney is into clever chord
changes, and has always been able to stay away from the cliches always used
by the likes of Boyzone.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

Have I made an enemy?

No. Three. But we're not your enemies. We LIKE you.

I'll probably get to that some time tonight, Felcher, fret not.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:15 (twenty years ago) link

I'm confused. Who are my enemies.

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:17 (twenty years ago) link

People with senses of humor.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:18 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, so your list of favorite albums is a joke?

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:19 (twenty years ago) link

I repeat the previous statement.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:19 (twenty years ago) link

"Melodies can't be complex AND simple. They can be complex and catchy
though, and that's how I want them."

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:19 (twenty years ago) link

Well that would be my bitter, paranoiac underling Brent DiCresenczo, or however you spell his last name. He spends an inordinate amount of time worrying that I'm smarter than him.

What you saw was a catalog of the CDs I bought in (and brought to) college, which I had in an Excel spreadsheet; my roommate from last year converted it to a graphical web DB testing out his MySQL and PHP skills. So yeah, it was mostly white indie and electronic bands from the laet-80s/90s. Off the top of my head though...Tricky, Jeru, Busta, N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Eddie Floyd were in there. James Brown and Bob Marley I had on tapes, for my walkman-- I used to bring it to the studio to drum along to. Feel better now?

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

bust that paradigm!

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:21 (twenty years ago) link

(just playin)

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:21 (twenty years ago) link

And of course I'm black but that's beside the point.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

rimshot!

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

hey we're all pink on the inside, brah.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

Only if the meat isn't cooked thoroughly enough.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLLLLL

― Conor Smedley (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:28 (twenty years ago) link

Back to the list, I liked that Strangelove's Time for the Rest of Your Life was on it as I was listening to it the other day for the first time in years and I'd forgotten just how great it was. Really. It is.

I love about half of the albums on that list, like a lot more, and hate the Smashing Pumpkins.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:28 (twenty years ago) link

"and hate the Smashing Pumpkins."
'tis a shame

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:29 (twenty years ago) link

i am surprised to find i have owned 40 of those albums at some point!

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

You probably shave your sideburns too.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

Only part way up.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:33 (twenty years ago) link

i kill you with guns

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:33 (twenty years ago) link

:-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:34 (twenty years ago) link

'tis a shame

Wonder what ailsa would think of Zwan, then.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:36 (twenty years ago) link

It seems that the Pumpkins love is the thing for which Ned gets the most general ire. This makes me sad.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:38 (twenty years ago) link

Funny, cause I even like the Pumpkins.

― ddrake, Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:39 (twenty years ago) link

no, it's his goth love.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:40 (twenty years ago) link

I AM OF THE NIGHT

― Lord Balto the Damned (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:40 (twenty years ago) link

just keep your records with you there, okay, buddy? ;-)

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:41 (twenty years ago) link

im not a zwan fan myself (it's like listening to Weezer's green album), but i only made that comment because being a pumpkins fan has indelibly left me with a sense of romanticism that goes hand in hand with being able to watch movies like "the never ending story" with just as much of an awe of the human imagination as i had when i was 5. whether you consider that a good thing or not, i dont know, but i certainly love it.

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:42 (twenty years ago) link

romanticism is good but tricky to pull off. so it figures your mileage will vary w/that kind of stuff, as mine does (wildly).

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:43 (twenty years ago) link

just keep your records with you there, okay, buddy? ;-)

Can do. Anyway, I MUST HAVE BLOOD!
