See Louis? I told you Merzbow wasn't all shock and awe.

I know, but this experience happened about 2 years ago, well before I even knew ILX existed!

Incidentally, you should hear Merzdub, his collab with Jamie Saft from last year. It's got music and stuff on it. It's beautiful.

Was Jack White not around in 1997 then?

He was but was very probably listening to '60s/blues records back then, same as it ever was.

I, too, love Medazzaland. : )

Aw. You and me, two of ten in the world I'd think.

Musicmagic by Return to Forever. Probably the most indulgent, wanky, baroque fusion LP ever made, and I love it exactly beause of that.

I hate the too-frequent suggestion that I'm "pretending" to like the handful of prog records in my collection or that my appreciation for Kelly Clarkson is ironic.

Cause it taint.

haha

yeah

but there is SOME truth to that, at least when it comes to me. i mean the thing is, the juxtaposition of prog and uber pop is inherently kind of ironic

i tend to kitschify pop songs that i like. i mean i think with "since u been gone", kelly clarkson proved that even mainstream pop can hold its own w/ the too cool for schoolers, because mainstream can be viewed as its own brand of indie. it's like, cheesy indie.

i only listen to music "ironically"

Although I don't believe in "guilty pleasures," there are certainly pleasures that make me think, "I'm gonna have a hard time explaining this one to my friends," like the time I got obsessed with "Sugar We're Going Down Swingin'"

hehe that's a good way to put it
