Fair play to Lex, that was one of the funniest jokes in this thread. All downhill from there.

Is there a thread that is safe for jokes?

Lex doesn't do humor because he's not American.
― Scooby Doom (۩),
He doesn't do humour, either.

nothing in this thread qualified as humour

Maybe the Muppets aren't as big of a cultural force in the UK as it is here in North America.

ok which of the two ronnies are you then

i've never seen the muppets, my childhood was tv-free
― lex pretend, Thursday, 20 March 2014 22:41 (twelve years ago)

That Jezebel piece is surprisingly fair and has a great deal of OTM about it.

I agree w Maura and Ann re turnabout "My Wife's Stupid Record Collection". But I hope the brave guy writes better than Sarah O'Holla.
― dow, Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:40 (twelve years ago)
Either way, I'm sure Jezebel will be all over it, and rightfully so.
― dow, Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:42 (twelve years ago)
Some of the comments on that Jezebel piece, wow. The ones from women are illuminating and the ones from that d and d guy are hilarious.

I mostly like the article in spite of having that annoying forced casual style. I didn't really like the end about how people should just write what they feel maaaaaaan.
― james franco tur(oll)ing test (Hurting 2), Friday, 21 March 2014 01:03 (twelve years ago)
i liked that part!

It's just one of those things that sounds like a vaguely good idea, but how many music reviews like that would you really want to read? Plus I think most good music writers write with both knowledge and feeling.
― james franco tur(oll)ing test (Hurting 2), Friday, 21 March 2014 01:38 (twelve years ago)
That'd be ideal, bt way too often that knowledge doesn't work in a record's favour. I'm sick of googling for reviews of something I'm loving cos I want to read more and finding a bitter critic going "This sounds like something I heard 20 years ago so it's worthless", esp as I've p much always heard those things too and somehow don't let it ruin everything NOW for me

Maybe that's just dudes on Twitter tho
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Friday, 21 March 2014 01:54 (twelve years ago)
If you're a woman and you do a thing, you can't *ever* just do a thing (bad or good), you do a thing, and there's 700 posts worth of people's ~feelings about women~ attached to you and your thing.
And it gets super tiresome and tedious after a while.
― Fingerbang On A Can (Branwell Bell), Friday, 21 March 2014 05:07 (twelve years ago)
Like I'm aware of the existence of "non-music fans" already. No offense to the man but I wouldn't read deems's music blog either
