Gonna put my neck on the line Whiney, having basically sold you this dummy

I listened to this album twice and thought it was super dull, then comparing this impression to the slightly purple raptures on the thread - raptures I am often guilty of myself and am open to being called out on - gave rise to exasperation. The final straw before raising the alarm was a hilariously overwritten Crack Magazine review, far funnier than anything polled here.

But then this thread got made and sure I found it superficially funny and no I don't think Whiney is a bigot for it*, but it certainly takes things to a level I hadn't foreseen. Criticisms (mostly by linee) on the actual KAS thread are much more what I was hoping for.

I don't think snark and zinging should be excised from the ILM discourse - of course codes of oppression should be considered at each turn but this strikes me as a fairly straightforward attack on far-flung praise for something that isn't particularly mindblowing on a theoretical level. Which is curmudgeonly, sure, and which questions listener agency, sure, but isn't ILM rooted on questioning and challenging listener agency, as well as championing it?

Avant-garde electronica by women, poc, queers? Christ, there's loads out there, so much of it brilliant, so much of it amongst my favourite music of recent years. My suspicions about KAS aren't about attacking 'female-shaped' music, they're about challenging a discourse that is unrestrainedly boosting something I think is dull.

*I'm not a minority (mild aspie aside) so my opinion counts less but w/e

can I at least poll the 12 women in whiney g weingarten's top 75 of last year?

Kevin Ageusia Smith (wins), Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:42 (ten years ago)

You didn't actually have second thoughts about posting that, did you? You just missed out on posting it before the thread was locked and wanted to put it somewhere. YOU MISUSE THIS THREAD, IMAGO. *strops*

Oh xposts now you've managed to beat me to my unserious chiding

Lol wins

Treeship, Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:43 (ten years ago)

Also imago the issue wasn't whiney thinking the album was overrated, it was the public shaming method he used to make this point.

Treeship, Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:44 (ten years ago)

Yeah I just figured whiney was clowning the discrepancy between a little under the radar ambient synth record and the life-changing hyperbole surrounding it, but again I can't speak for his thread making intentions.

raptures I am often guilty of myself and am open to being called out on

This was the most amusing aspect of the thread, the fact it was inspired (apparently) by LJ's reaction to someone's over-the-top praise for some album or other.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:49 (ten years ago)

Whiney probably wouldn't mind a thread like "let's poll the only women in his top 75 of last year", but the mistake is thinking that b/c he personally likes clowning/bantz, everyone else would be up for their posts being held up and mocked.

emil.y, Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:50 (ten years ago)

i didn't post this in the other thread

Keks + Nuss (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:22 (ten years ago)

I knew it would immediately devolve into an argument about whether I liked "enough" women, but I engaged anyway...

Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:23 (ten years ago)

Whatever, I'm done definding my thread and definitely taking my L as a lesson in the tone and vibe of nu-ILX and will try to better assimilate because I do like this place and def am not out to hurt anyone in the way Branwell felt hurt

Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:24 (ten years ago)

i thought it was funny, although in a *rmde* 'oh, whiney' kinda way. it's true that 07 era ilx is long gone but i also don't want an ilx where every thread that offends Branwall gets shut down, either

_______-related posts on your Facebook wall remind me of a line from Manhattan: "All right, he was a genius and Helen's a genius and Dennis is a genius. You know a lot of geniuses, you know. Uh, you should meet some stupid people once in a while. You know, you could learn something."
