On second thought, I think the Zeppelin love is appropriate, because both Ryan and Zeppelin like to steal from old, black people.

lex i believe time-honored tradition of sex in public toilets is known in your country as 'cottaging'

When I tell someone where I work, 95 percent of the time they ask "What bands are on that label?" and I take five seconds to think which ones I could mention to get the smile of recognition that means the conversation can move forward, and then I say "Slipknot and Nickelback."

i didn't have anything in mind, it's just a gesture!

but snoball is right

thought it was a ref to classic nabisco post about cocorosie

ii can vaguely remember what you're talking about?

i just spent like 10 minutes looking for it and cant find it... it was something to the effect of like "i wouldnt call cocorosie racist, id take the tactic of the psychiatrist *steeples fingers* hmm, cocorosie, you are very interested in black people, arent you"

ha yes. i looked, myself.

Actually to be completely honest I imagine a whole lot of acts have weird mental relationships with blackness / black people that are totally outside the scope of the music, so maybe it's better that Cocorosie at least kinda engage with theirs and occasionally score points for stuff like "sound good with beatboxer." Their issues here are hard to pin down, but I doubt they're more complicated than like "mild fetishization" and possibly a touch of "entranced by stereotypes."

― tornup_andhurt, Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:51 PM (5 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Haha I think the only adequate approach to take here is that of Cocorosie's psychologist, who would say that while it's not prohibited for white singers to say "nigger," it is (shall we say) "very very interesting" that one would choose to put it in the song, then have to sing it to groups of people every third night for the next few years, then trade your drum loops for beatboxing from your black backing band (haha then get quoted in infamous "Kill Whitey" article), all leading up to a general chin-scratching steeple-fingered "very interesting, Cocorosie, you are very interested in black people."

I thought that Hot Topic thing was a joke. Are they serious?

Man, you know someone is serious about that.

What a bunch of goobers.

On Giving Kandi AwayWhen Kandi bracelets are exchanged, there is usually a series of hand gestures symbolizing the units of "PLUR" - Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. The gesture for Peace is to form a peace sign with your index and middle fingers and touch to the fingers of the person receiving the kandi. The gesture for Love is to form a heart by curving your fingers and thumb with the person who is receiving the kandi. The gesture for Unity is to place your palm vertically on the palm of the person who is receiving the kandi. The gesture for Respect is to weave your fingers into the fingers of the person who is receiving the kandi. Then the kandi bracelet is transferred from the owners wrist to the wrist of another, symbolizing the beginning of a friendship.

I used to wear that shit too, but I ain't never heard of no shit like this.

Raver culture is so fucking irritating

All I want to do is mosh to massive beats, fuck off with your touchy feely "I wanna be a dayglo baby" bullshit

I saw the urgent white-on-black all-caps tone of that Hot Topic thing and was like "ARGH SLAVE LABOR... Wait, what, raver beads?"

I'm sure those raver beads are fair trade.

Yep, that's where they're traded.
