Well firstly, I registered here in 2011 so technically you're not far off.

Secondly, I seriously can't help being amused when something is described as something that it clearly isn't and when people read things into things that aren't there - it makes me seriously question their abilities as a critic.

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link

Turdican isn't interested what people hear in a record, they're interested in what THEY hear in a record, and they NEED you to be interested in that too

fortunately there is a way to avoid them

Everyone's a critic, oy! (xp)

i seriously questioned your abilities as a critic after you spoke favorably about a bunch of shitty music for several years straight

is it cool to post on this thread if i'm not a critic? oh please, just let me be a silent observer of these hallowed grounds where those who can hear The Way occasionally gift us commoners with a glimpse of their wisdom

I mean, there's some decent songs on The Beatles in amongst the crap, and there's some enjoyable moments, but if you're spooked out by Desmond and his barrow in the marketplace, then there's professional help available for that.

shut up dork

I mean, it's 2017... if the Beatles cult can't accept by now that not everything they did was up to par and that quite a fair bit of the mythology is bullshit, then fucking hell...

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:47 (six years ago) link

glad we've circled back to this

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:47 (six years ago) link

flopson hating on the white album is at the very least entertaining and interesting

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link

I mean, there are some decent scenes in The Shining in amongst the crap, but if you're spooked by two girls wanting to have a playdate, then there's professional help available for that.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link

Seriously. Seriously.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:49 (six years ago) link

I mean, people keep talking about the hotel being cursed by Native Americans, but there are no Native Americans in that film. When something is described as something that it clearly isn't and when people read things into things that aren't there - it makes me seriously question their abilities as a critic.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:51 (six years ago) link

Nobody ITT said that they were frightened of Obladi Oblada. However plenty of people have cited multiple specific moments on this record they found creepy in tone. Love it when Turrican reads into things that aren't there

I mean, it's 2017... if the Kubrick cult can't accept by now that not everything he did was up to par and that quite a fair bit of the mythology is bullshit, then fucking hell...

Oh for fucks sake, Tom D :( FP.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link

if we can get him tempbanned for a while i promise to listen to tusk again and come up with some thoughts

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link

turrican, i mean. not tom. or fred even.

Also, Stanley Kubrick was a funk band.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:53 (six years ago) link

I don't hear "bad vibes" in "Blue Jay Way" personally. it's (yet another) Beatles song about being sleepy/tired!

worth it for seeing tom d. and fred collapse into one person

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:53 (six years ago) link

some of the greatest directors ever are funk bland

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:54 (six years ago) link

The Shining is the wrong example. See The Beatles as being more like Despicable Me 3, if the film was nearly 50 years old and had a dedicated cult fanbase over-analysing it over numerous years to the point where the myth has spiralled out of control.

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:54 (six years ago) link

Frederik, you'll have to point me to some posts you've made on funk threads... all I seem to see you talking about is the Arcade Fire.

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link

Yes, god forbid the myth of The Shining ever spiraled out of control...

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link

off topic, but

I mean, it's 2017... if the Kubrick cult can't accept by now that not everything he did was up to par and that quite a fair bit of the mythology is bullshit, then fucking hell...

frederik changing only the word "he" to "they" was a surprising move

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link

More surprising than anything Turrican has ever posted.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:57 (six years ago) link

There was that thread about famous funk and Talking Heads who are the musical equivalent of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 had it bombed at the cinema in 1933 but grown a passionate cult following to the point that in the mid-80s meatball sales sky rocketed

Fox Mulder, FYI (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

Fox Mulder, FYI (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

creepy/spooky/eery =/= frightened

flappy bird, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link

Anyhow, I'm pretty comfortable in the knowledge that those lining up to "defend teh Beatlez honour, maaaaan" look far more ridiculous in their OTT losing-their-shit reactions than anything I've posted, so...

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link

hmmm

no

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:02 (six years ago) link

oh yeah we're sure embarrassing ourselves in front of that imaginary audience

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:02 (six years ago) link

the juvenile namecalling shit is all you, Turrican

xp

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link

Dear Turrican,

Moodles, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link

Talking Heads- Classic or Dud?

Frederik is all over this thread fyi

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:05 (six years ago) link

Another car crash of a thread.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link

Yeah, I know he is, but you're gonna have to search long and hard to find his posts on the thread for any other funk band.

Glad we're all finally admitting it, though.

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link

hi, so is the White Album any good

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link

Too artsy to be funky, so that's a no.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:13 (six years ago) link

Indeed. None of this has anything to do with The Beatles or Tusk, I guess this means that the Beatle cult struggle to stay on topic when challenged.

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link

FYI the White Album is better than Tusk

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link

LOL that my revive kicked off a whole nother cycle of Turrican trolling

flopson, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 00:14 (six years ago) link
