Clusterfuck Summary Corner

you should hang out on that thread. it's a party.

sausage dance party :D

One might even say that it's a "holiday" and you can "celebrate."

young girls with eyes like potatoes

yr potato eyes are like factories far away

lumineers

Thank Christ you said that because if you had asked about the Boston Marathon explosion I was going to abjure you, to start with.

As for the Lumineers:

"What is this fuckery?"

"Fuckery."

Lather, rinse, repeat.

i still haven't heard the lumineers thankfully, the only mumford & sons i've heard was that 'hold on hope' (which i actually thought was coldplay at first and didn't mind for coldplay) and then like ten seconds of that stupid little lion head song.

Balls I bet you have heard the lumineers without knowing it, their music gets used in lots of trailers and I hear it a lot when I'm getting groceries or whatever.

You know the assholes who you might have encountered at a summer camp who actually seemed happy to be there and were all bouncy and cheery and wanted to lead you in singalongs? Them.

ha listening to it now (THX NICOLE), i have not heard this before no. not great but not as bad as the black keys or that little lion head song. sounds like yr run of the mill arcade fire residue.

Alternately, this asshole, only turned into a trio from Denver:

jesus christ every motherfucking dude in that room is wearing the hat

You see now why they must be killed.

hmm there's some jason mraz in play here also

Fucks wearing a hat

god that reminds me one of my sisters got married a little under a year ago and she used that damn israel kamakawiwo'ole 'under the rainbow/what a wonderful world' to walk down the aisle and it was all i could do to contain myself during 'if anyone objects to this marriage let them speak now or forever hold their peace' and not stand up and register my dissent to the fucking music.

You know that scene with John Belushi and Stephen Bishop in "Animal House?" That's how I feel inside whenever I hear a ukulele.

I'm feeling a lot of guilt and responsibility right now.

i lived thru 4 non-blondes and deep blue something, lumineers was a piece of cake

love israel k's over the rainbow ;_;

yeah man iz 4 eva

agreed. the iz song is great. i look forward to hearing it when i go to weddings.

the lumineers thread is less about the lumineers and more of a very long involved thesis study in why ppl like and/or hate things

well, it was either that or talk about the lumineers

exactly. honestly it's a lot better this way

ugh that lumineers thread sounds awful, part of this trend on ilm of weirdly looking down on ppl who aren't record geeks or music obsessives and therefore surely can't be getting as much (or even more, since yknow they have actual lives to be enriched and illuminated by art) from music or appreciate as much as yr average freelance loser.

that isn't what the thread's about, no one was saying things like that

on the other hand you should go on there and say that anyway!

Damn this really hits the nail on the head

there's a veil of misogyny hanging overhead too, it's great.

you sound like someone I'd look down upon though

don't try to look around tho

*looks down at balls*

that joke is pretty spent at this point, isnt it

nope

spent (ejaculation)

xpost brimstead, do you find the kneejerk hatred of "twee" music misogynistic -- is that what you are referring to? because i agree with you, but i don't think people on that thread, specifically, were making that point and when someone linked to an article about indie rock being "neutered" by the mumfordeers most people reacted against that article. i do think a good thread could be made of the conflation between authenticity and masculinity which haunts a lot of peoples' thinking on the topic.

everything is misogynistic, read yr blogs pls

True fact!

HEY!
