Fogerty named his dong ”Stu Cook”

lol cassidy fan club (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 12 January 2013 14:08 (thirteen years ago)

OK, now I'm seeing the context of the piece and its less embarrassing

now i'm thinking about the context of the piece and its pretty funny

our knowingly silly, arbitrary decimal scale

i kind of like that story

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Saturday, 12 January 2013 19:02 (thirteen years ago)

that felt less like 'critic makes judgment, changes their mind' than 'journalist interviews artist and excitedly promotes their upcoming work, which ends up not fulfilling potential,' which is a bit different than the theme they were going for

although i would probably give people seizures on accident

two weeks pass...

Fork Fest 2013 headliners are insaaaaane!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2013 16:49 (thirteen years ago)

R. Kelly, Bjork, and Belle & Sebastian.

R. Kelly!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2013 16:49 (thirteen years ago)

why is belle and sebastian headlining in 2013 is my immediate reaction

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 16:51 (thirteen years ago)

Because it is 2013 and the fest couldn't get them in years past, closer to their popular peak?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2013 16:52 (thirteen years ago)

I know where I'll be this summer, what a great set of headliners after a crap list in 2012.

skip, Friday, 1 February 2013 17:00 (thirteen years ago)

i could see belle & sebastian being a big deal for kids that were too young to see them at the height of their career

downton arby (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:19 (thirteen years ago)

that is profoundly depressing

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:20 (thirteen years ago)

Can't wait for the big collab from the headliners, "Like Dylan Trapped In The Closet (It's Oh So Quiet)."

Gollum: "Hot, Ready and Smeagol!" (Phil D.), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:22 (thirteen years ago)

Bjork singing "Trapped in the Closet" may be the only context in which I would be entertained by "Trapped in the Closet"

Bjork singing "Trapped in the Closet" may be the only context in which I would be entertained by "Trapped in the Closet" Bjork

bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bouce

d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:46 (thirteen years ago)

belle & sebastian is a pretty good legacy act

d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:46 (thirteen years ago)

I get that logically, I just super hate them

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:47 (thirteen years ago)

I thought everyone in Belle & Sebastian died

:C (crüt), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:48 (thirteen years ago)

maybe that was just a dream

:C (crüt), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:48 (thirteen years ago)

you're thinking of their infamous stand-up set

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:48 (thirteen years ago)

gonna make big bucks by smuggling in no-doz and jolt and selling them right before the B&S set

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:50 (thirteen years ago)

(because they are a snooze)

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:50 (thirteen years ago)

boy with the arab strap had some jawns IMO

downton arby (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:59 (thirteen years ago)

OTM, but it's weird that you're using the Swedish spelling

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:00 (thirteen years ago)

well played

wtf jordan defending belle and sebastian

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:06 (thirteen years ago)

consistently worst taste in music on ILM

Mordy, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:08 (thirteen years ago)

i think j0rd was just saying the booking was smart, in terms of the festival

downton arby (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:12 (thirteen years ago)

hmmm, one of the more popular indie bands of the last 20 years headlining one of the more popular indie festivals?

tylerw, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:14 (thirteen years ago)

yeah obv you'd have to be totally clueless to things like "indie rock" and "the internet" if you think that's a bad booking from a business standpoint

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:19 (thirteen years ago)

thats some real "Who's Bonny Bear" shit from n/a

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:20 (thirteen years ago)

it was less "why now" and more "that band sucks"

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:21 (thirteen years ago)

sinister development

buzza, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:21 (thirteen years ago)

i mean yeah i think belle & sebastian is a solid band too, but they're a much better headliner from an objective standpoint than some of the bands that were on the bill last year

d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:43 (thirteen years ago)

i mean even if you don't think they are straight fire beautiful song you have to admit their place in the bookish fancypants UK indie canon

downton arby (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:47 (thirteen years ago)

no one has argued that this is a bad business decision! everyone's just saying they're shitty!

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:48 (thirteen years ago)

the friday night headliner last year was feist, the worst act out of r. kelly/belle & sebastian/bjork is >>>>>>>>> feist from both a business and quality perspective (imo)

d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 February 2013 18:49 (thirteen years ago)

xpost -- Quite true, that.
