they stopped running reviews for two days, and you complained both days. ANYONE would've taken some shit for that, man, i'm sorry if you don't believe me but it's true.

probably, but i don't think anyone else would have been accused of not being able to think for themselves. and as i said, this thread was just one example.

Just enjoy some music, Jon, it's all good. That new Pumpkins reissue is killer, for instance.

whiney made a joke, and when you took it badly he said "sorry, easy basket," but you're still characterizing it as an accusation. do you even understand how much effort you're expending on making things more serious than they are?

this is what i don't like about some of the people on this board. like whiney accuses me of not thinking for myself and its my fault for "taking in badly" and not his for being kind of an asshole.

taking IT badly
if you repeatedly use the word "accuse" to characterize his silly zing then yes, you're taking it badly.
― Barack 2 Chainz Obama (some dude), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:18 (eleven years ago) link
there's a real irony to implying whiney walks away scott free from douchebaggery when he's been s-banned a ton of times and consistently mocked for being an obnoxious hypocritical troll

j if it makes you feel any better i complained the last two days over the lack of new reviews too but more because i'm plotting out my august bill payments

But he can't stop being an asshole and you can stop taking it badly.
You're at the same point I was at about six years ago. I got thoroughly reamed out for some ill-considered posts, had a good cry about people being mean to me, took 2 weeks off from ILX, molted, grew a harder shell, and came back to be at least a 4% better poster than I was previously. Maybe even 6%. I also type out a lot of stuff and delete 75% of it without hitting the 'submit' button.

back to the thread subject at hand, does anyone find this sentence a bit... distasteful:
"Okemah, Okla.'s most famous export might have turned 100 this July if Huntington's disease hadn't wasted him back in 1967."

the whole review is full of clunkers
His odd non-absence has been especially felt in this year.
Not long after he made the recording, Cathy was killed in a freak house fire (stunningly, Guthrie's sister was killed, and his father badly wounded, in two unrelated fires when he was a kid).
Woody at 100 may be the most successful attempt to capture Guthrie's sprawling essence, but it's hardly the first.

this probably says more about me than the writer but that last sentence gave me a mental image of a crack team attempting to hunt down a massive blob of cum
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:31 (eleven years ago) link
lol.
that sentence should be reversed.
― funny-skrillex-bee_132455836669.gif (s1ocki), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:32 (eleven years ago) link
unless the article is about other attempts to capture his sprawling essence and not about woody at 100
While I wouldn't assume everybody knows about it, the last "omg" about the "property" line in "This Land Is Your Land" is kinda funny to me since I heard it on a Mojo Nixon album when I was 10 and I'm sure it's come up a few other places in my experience since. Also I thought the idea of Woody being a fleshed-out human being in Pitchforkia had been taken care of by Mermaid Avenue, which isn't mentioned at all.

i think maybe "wasted" in that instance is being used to say that his life was wasted, instead of the way a teenager would when playing modern warfare
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:45 (eleven years ago) link
or maybe that the rest of his life was wasted. idk.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
I took it to be an attempt to make the phrase "wasted away" hip and new for an edgy young audience

You know I considered posting that use of wasted here, too! I initially read it in that "we wasted those scumbags!" way. Pretty awkward. They could have said "taken."

haha yeah the "stunningly unrelated fires" thing cracked me up, like is he an arsonist, or perhaps being followed by a fire monster like that guy on True Blood?
― Barack 2 Chainz Obama (some dude), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 15:15 (eleven years ago) link
So were there three unrelated fires that wasted Woody's family? Cuz that is pretty stunning if you think about it. Just two is less stunning.

the thin line between disclosure and name-dropping
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16850-jareds-lot/
The cover of Gary War's third LP, like Maus' comment, conjures the idea of a high-minded, rock'n'roll Robocop, ricocheting heroically across a metropolis that has been reduced to a smog-laden wasteland by the ravages of human self-interest. Designed by Robert Beatty, who has done some album covers for my own band, the record's helmeted mascot feels like a distinctly backward-looking vision of the future, mid-way between cyberpunk hero and Apollo 11 passenger.
...
Recently, on a website I helped found, John Maus offered up a lengthy explanation of his Gary War claim that even went pretty deep into the harmonic logic (or anti-logic) of his note progressions.

I believe a lyric quoted in the actual review of the writer's band (not going to mention any of them by name) is "Too many rock stars, not enough gangsters". Apparently it gets repeated over and over in the song.
