@ ilxor well you gotta admit markers has probably got a tattoo of the Fader Fort screencap at this point
Maybe -- iirc, you're assuming there's room after the full-torso Tapes N Tapes tat?
as an ardent defender of the recorded music of taylor swift, i haven't made any judgments of salem based on that performance
Except that ummmmmmmm, oh yeah!, Taylor Swift is AWESOME LIVE and if you're judging based on YouTube vids and not an actual live performance then you're not *really* judging properly imho.
― more than ever convinced ilxor is a sock (ilxor), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 22:04 (thirteen years ago) link
well i'm judging from the bunch of times that i've seen her perform on tv and her singing is usually terrible

funny enough t swift's social conservatism gets on my nerves more than this dude's occasional "she say i'm down wih huh" schtick.

you know, after watching that FADER performance and then going back to the recorded version of "Tent", I have no idea what the "oh I don't hear that as them aping a black dialect, you people are making some shady assumptions" were smoking upthread
I guess it just didn't rankle...living in decaying, lower-class Michigan (ie somewhat close to where these guys are from), i've known a LOOOOOOOOT of drug-addled white dunderheads that act like they're trying to be black. Sometimes they don't even have to be into ICP.

I tell you what, if this album is in fact made by bottom-feeding crackhead juggalos, then I'm even more impressed than before...

Fader is a marketing company. You think they make their money selling bucketloads of magazines with Trash Talk on the cover?

Whiney you & I are on the same HxCx side of the fence I thought -- your lookout probably requires you to know which magazines are connected with which companies etc but i assure you that in my heart it's 1993 and I read MRR and there's only 1 company anyway so why would I parse the connections, this ain't Vanity Fair

anybody here who would not be willing throw the dice & maybe end up looking like something of an asshole for many thousands of dollars can cast the first stone, but I'm guessing that if I had a lie detector test and a stack of hundreds that climbed up past ankle level, most of us here would be "where do I bust out the shitty rap?" Salem sucked because they don't really know what they're doing yet & hadn't really thought about playing outside of their element. In about a year they'll sound live like they sound on record & the only person who'll remember the Fader Fort performance will be markers.

To roaring applause, ILX President Tom Ew1ng placed a metal cap on top of the Fader Fort entrance early Thursday morning -- and marked the end of a rescue operation that captivated the globe.But in a way, the story is just beginning -- both for the fans, who now must live with their new status as indie heroes and the spotlight that comes with it, and the Internet, whose attention turns to protecting listeners' safety."I hope this will never happen again," said music critic Whiney G.
