There is no point in trying this if you don't like the music. That said, I did make some regrettable purchases in the past for this reason, which is how I reached my current conclusion. (regrettable purchase: having to buy all that weed to make his Led Zeppelin tolerable)

rong on 2 levels:

1) buying 'all that weed' is never a regrettable purchase
2) weed does not make zeppelin 'tolerable' it makes them perfect

Last month, in the Times, the white folk rocker Devendra Banhart declared his admiration for R. Kelly’s new R. & B. album “Double Up.” Thirty years ago, Banhart might have attempted to imitate R. Kelly’s perverse and feather-light soul. Now he’s just a fan.

A few years ago, on his blog, the white folk rocker John Darnielle declared his admiration for R. Kelly’s new R. & B. single “Ignition.” Thirty years ago, Darnielle might have attempted to imitate R. Kelly’s perverse and feather-light soul. Now he’s just a fan.

thirty years ago devendra would have the same manager and r. kelly still wouldn't exist

when was the ironic cover invented?

when linda ronstadt covered "lotta love?"

I thought that was Nicolette Larson. Rondstandt did "Alison," though.

whoa i think you're right. i'm RONG.

when was the ironic cover invented?

Peter Sellers - A Hard Day's Night (#14, December 1965)

I bet there was some orchestra before then who played ironic Classical covers to show their disdain for Vivaldi or sump'n.

that sellers jam is awesome, ditto "She Loves You"

that's the second time that's been mentioned here. Maybe I haven't heard enough Japanther. I used to see them live when they started playing around NY and it never did much for me. I really don't have much interest in a lot of the bands working various post-no wave revival skronk/noise craziness, and I like No Age's balance between the utterly accessible and often beautiful ambient partts, and the also utterly accessible and totally catchy minimalist hardcore punk riffing.

dude you are really bringing the hate to NO AGE.

is it a west coast thing, Chaki? I listen to No Age and the next day I'm singing all the words, I saw Japanther and the next day I'm like "did that guy use a telephone?"

Mayve Chaki's trying to fill us on on the fact that No Age don't really exist and have been taking listeners for a ride.

Maybe.

its just nice to be the first to say something bad about a band that sucks on ilx

i feel like im fighting the good fight

i admire your spirit, though.

about noage? really?

hmm i'm gonna have to check out this highly controversial band.

fine. go ahead and listen to the la japanther. psh.

heard 3 songs on myspace.

sound pretty good. sounds a lot more like indie rock than anyone seems to be admitting though. when everyone was saying hardcore craziness i was think like negative approach type shit or like does anyone remember wives from LA? they were awesome...

but yeah it's good, even if some of the rockin' parts remind me a lot more of the thermals than like black flag, but whatever.

i think noage are ex-wives

The BMRC show I had a free ticket for sucked so bad.

I kinda liked their first record but yeah I saw em live once and they suucccccked

The person who's threatened to kill me on the most occasions is a dude who had a Myspace where he raged against "bullshit mainstream mass-produced culture" and talked about how he only watched movies and listened to music that were challenging and provocative. BMRC were his favourite band, I think his favourite film was Amelie.

should i know what a BMRC is

They're like every other band from 2001 you've forgotten about

The B stands for "Bowel." I'll say no more.

its actually brmc (black rebel motorcycle club)

you dont need to know them

ohhh ok. my mom and little sister like them.

they just remind me how lame it must be to be british

I don't think they actually are british?

They're American

there was this britpop DJ at my college radio station who had lame hair, and the rumor was always that she slept with that dude. was his name royston langdon?

After the band dropped Elektra Records, Spacehog signed with upstart label Artemis Records and released its third album, The Hogyssey, on April 10, 2001. The album continued the band's neo-glam approach and featured the singles "I Want To Live" and "At Least I Got Laid", as well as a funkified version of Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra".

yeah, and he's married to liv tyler!

dude you can't be more than like 2 years older than me, don't pull that generation gap shit! anyway early-mid 90's modern rock radio played a shitload of New Order, and "Blue Monday" was always my least favorite of their songs, before any tainting by Orgy (or Rihanna).

as far as I can tell the biggest 90's soundtrack "Blue Monday" was on is The Wedding Singer lol

most of my similarly-aged friends agree Orgy's version is better

kraftwerk thought new order's setup wuz "primative"

dude you can't be more than like 2 years older than me, don't pull that generation gap shit!

hey I probably only knew New Order's first because I grabbed a used cassette of substance back in middle school. Figured your tastes as a teen ran harder than that.

the alternative to your tastes being tainted by orgy is that you're just RONG about the song, sorry I gave the benefit of the doubt.

as far as NO on the radio goes, I never would have suggested you knew Frente first.

hey, i knew the frente version first! and yet, strangely, i am at peace with that fact

You were mad into Frente iirc

I will admit it re: Frente!, yes. But I'd still rather be RONG than an Orgy-damaged n00b.

Curtis might be but I wager he heard the original first (JUST A HUNCH)

actually the first version I heard was a MIDI version in a freeware pac-man game (but yeah, I heard New Order's before Orgy's)

Tarantino does this all the time, inserting long stretches of innocuous conversational dialogue - it ratchets up the tension because the viewer is both being made to think of the characters as normal, average boring people while at the same time eagerly anticipating the conversation's end to get to the "action". It makes the punctuated scenes of violence more surprising and more engaging. Its called pacing.

i can understand getting a little tired of them, i guess, i mean i don't really listen to them at all right now. but they are obviously great.

i guess i can see thinking byrne is a prick

but i love them loads. even little creatures, most of the true stories soundtrack, and a few songs off naked.

i enjoy lost very much. its apples and oranges. its like choosing jaymc of chicago kevin.

of = or

yeah two and a half men is totally good, or at least better than it has a right to be, lots of bawdy zingers and really weird one-liners.

LOST makes me feel really cheated always

thats weird.

How about Mp3 bloggers from Astoria

retroactive zing circa fall 2006??

why is it weird? i stopped watching it after the 2nd season cos the season finale was the lamest

season finale to this season was the best episode of the show yet

i duno you must expect too much. season 2 kinda sucked up season 3 was pretty amazing.

and HEROES just does not make a lick of sense.
just gimme any one of the L&O syndicates and i am a happy girl

heroes is shitty as fuck.

I made it thru season one on dvd but the finale sucked ass

yeah i cant stomach heroes anymore

GET OFF MY BOARD, TV NERDS.

Law and Order is the jam tho dudes

seriously. when i am home for christmas i am going to watch like 20 episodes in a row.

law and order marathons are on daily. we have a good tv thread around here somewhere.

tehrza to thread

heroes is lame, true

heads box set on the way. not actually a great deal of new stuff on it, but it's fun times anyway.

why am i reading this crap?

can i hate heroes, lost & 24 and like journeyman in spite of its cheesiness?

i really like 2 1/2 men and how i met your mother. good sitcoms.

heroes season 2 was the biggest piece of shit.

i like HIMYM but 2.5 men is awful

sometimes i tune in for sex and the city reruns like five mins early and its on and i hate it

i was SO disappointed with the senor coconut stuff. led to believe it was a BAND that played latin instruments - that would have been good.NO it is blatantly sequenced geek tribute IDM with a few latin touches thrown in - no real instruments. the marimba and vibraphone sound totally digital equal temperament tuning etc. "home computer" is groovy as fk, yes, but the rest of it is like listening to a green jelly / gwar album. looks funny. not funny. geeez 'n' gosh however is the absolute bollocks AMAZING microhouse w/ v subtle gospel samples.

I have never been able to listen to a Byrds' album in its entirety. "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" in particular is totally boring. I've never understood it's "masterpiece" status - it sounds identical to any number of country albums from the same period.

I would probably vote indie, a lot because of the fans, but it's been stuck together with alternative, of which there is a lot that I like. That being said, I've pretty much come to the conclusion at this point that there is good stuff in every genre, and it's unfair to dismiss things out of hand, but honestly (and I realize this isn't going to be a popular opinion), I wouldn't be sad at all if I never heard a hip-hop song again.

But I agree w/ him.

he is probably correct that his opinion will not be popular. he is also probably correct that he wouldn't be sad at all.

How the NYU Retirement Plan Works
• NYU contributes 10% of your base annual salary.
• You must contribute a minimum of 5% of your base annual salary.

so they match double but i put in ANOTHER 5%
