didn't even get to the end of that list before i knew who's post that was

Not sure whether to be pleased or bummed tbh.

im guessing it was an insult

Yeah but it's an insult from Whiney, it's almost an honor to have him recognize that, apparently, my tastes are different enough from his that it's worth pointing out. Glad to have my differences!

Also, I'd love to see him ru down my list of albums with his opinions. I'm guessing we have at least some crossover in our tastes (hip hop, metal and whatever else), he's just not keen to admit it publicly and would rather hurl off a one-liner at me.

run down*

i've heard like 3 of the albums in ilxor's list

i was just sayin ilxor is the type of poster to list a bunch of albums without prompting

i mean, and tbf it was a "zing" not an insult. it's all love.

and yes, I will admit our tastes are shockingly similar! save the few lolindie records peppering that list its a lot like my best of 02 for sure!

i can't believe thats the same guy who was dissing the Patton/Melvins ATP

ha yeah i was gonna say pot meet kettle, it looks like one of your lists

that OP list is pure crape.

Textstar was great! Farben is Jan Jelinek.

Lolindie = Wilco, Spoon, Flaming Lips, Notwist, Interpol... Raveonettes? What else?
