This is very belated, esp. since I know he meant them sarcastically, but Mackro's Nick Drake/Arthur Russell thing is pretty OTM!

Matos W.K., Tuesday, 17 March 2009 18:53 (seventeen years ago)

i didn't really understand that at all, since Nick Drake released everything as a solo artist under the same name AFAIK and i was talking about how slippery J Dilla's legacy was before his death because he was known by different names and didn't get a lot of name recognition for his work with better known artists early on. maybe the joke was something else and it just went over my head, though.

some dad (some dude), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 18:58 (seventeen years ago)

haha I don't think he was being quite that literal. I just thought it was funny because I kind of agree with it! (Nick Drake much more than Russell--I don't mind hearing Drake but he's not someone I ever listen to of my own accord.)

Most of the songs I know that have been mentioned here I like fine, but the "genius" talk all seems to boil down to production stuff that as a lay listener I'd never pick up on.

Matos W.K., Tuesday, 17 March 2009 19:07 (seventeen years ago)

It was just a commentary that people here still fascinate about talented artists who died in the same way like Russell and, from time to time, Drake -- but OMG, we can't have people fascinate about J Dilla, James Yancy, etc. because ALL THESE KIDS MADE HYPERBOLIC T-SHIRTS. THAT'S THE END, MAN

(remove "in the same way" from last sentence, forgot to remove first time)

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 19:53 (seventeen years ago)

you know ALL THOSE KIDS that nobody saw except someone here on ILX who was in Tibet once.

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 19:55 (seventeen years ago)

ok, well...my post that you parodied was about an issue completely aside from what you turned it into, so thanks for missing the point.

some dad (some dude), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 19:58 (seventeen years ago)

i wonder how dilla would feel if he knew people were still getting butthurt about him years after his death

ok, well...my post that you parodied was about an issue completely aside from what you turned it into, so thanks for missing the point.

to be honest, I just grabbed a post on this thread and made text substitutions that happened to be yours. I didn't miss or get any point of yours. my butt feels great, thanks.

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

ok, it's all good. also you should probably stop saying "fascinate about."

some dad (some dude), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:35 (seventeen years ago)

lol

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

s1ocki, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:47 (seventeen years ago)

Wait, why don't you guys write homoerotic fantasies about me for fun. Oh wait, too late. Talk about needing to get off my fucking jock....

pipecock, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

That fantasy above went way beyond homoerotic.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:49 (seventeen years ago)

he takes butthurt literally

bnw, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:49 (seventeen years ago)

Whatever it was, you guys obviously have some shit repressed that you need to see a professional about. Hopefully you can all work that shit out without dragging me into it, thanks.

pipecock, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

Actually pipecock I was going to ask if you wanted to come to my therapy session next week. He thinks it will really help me get to the bottom of some things if you are there.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

pipecock, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 21:16 (seventeen years ago)

I would think he'd just c/p into a word doc if that's what he was planning to do.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 17 March 2009 21:17 (seventeen years ago)

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 21:55 (seventeen years ago)
