thanks for the insights, ethan. Hipsters will no longer invite you to their cocktail parties.

oh they invite him. I've seen the flickr pages to prove it.

HISTORY WILL MAKE LIARS OUT OF ALL OF US.

Not that it matters (and I don't know about the Streets fans cuz I wasn't one) but I seriously doubt I won't like this album in a year or twos time. BUT even if I don't well who gives a fuck, what kind of joyless hack listens to records thinking "is the record that will stand the test of time"?

was anyone even repping for the klaxons though? i thought lex had the majority with him there.

ethan your critique would have more weight if you'd actually give the stuff a listen - "fake dancehall" is beneath you & your hateration is kinda weird to me, it's not even like you! people love MIA 'cause she's doing something kinda different, is that really so odd/loathesome? you've got this rockist thing goin' here ("why are they loving this and not GOOD MUSIC"), how is that even your schpiel, it's not

cutty and spencer were mighty peeved (xp)

and i respect those cats to the end

im not saying its got to stand the test of time or whatever it just seems like everybody is caught up in the hype and the context of this big summary judgement that you even have to give a fuck about this and weigh in and everybody is checking it off for their top 5 of the year already and its like... what

Results 1 - 10 of about 59,400 for mia kala dancehall. (0.16 seconds)

Ethan how does it even feel to be like the 1000000th identical herb making the same lame ass arguments about these records??

"But whyyyyyyyy do they all like this HORRIBLE NOISE and not lovely Ciara or Paris? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

that's that rockism I was talking about xpost - I mean, a buncha people love an artist & find an album interesting and you gotta hate? how is that even...I mean I know you, you ain't like that, wtf? "Why are these assholes loving this music I hate?" Wha?

i dunno i got bored and rolling snap fell off new answers

hahahahahahaha...

xp to Alfred's image

About time someone mentioned Hattie Collins' racist piece of shit article in The Guide a few weeks back, praising MIA for "not being too Asian".

Most of what makes MIA threads so long is how vitrolic her detractors get.

A new raver before it was old. A baile funk/pop pioneer before CSS and Bonde De Role emerged. A quirky female singer/rapper before the Mini Allens had worked out how to log on to MySpace. [...] It was US bloggers who gave her a leg up, after the British media initially found her too hipster and she was shut out on all sides; not "Asian" enough for the Asian media, nor street enough for the urban crowd - ironic given her upbringing could make even Lil' Kim's life look Little Bo Peep-like.

this is a pretty great thread, though. you probably like half of the songs being discussed in it, ethan.

the last 1/3rd of this thread is basically 'how to tell ethan's bored 101'

basically!!

ban

too lazy to click over on the ILE tab and repaste christian warmonger spam or fake Yaphet Kotto RIP thread

hes a republican you know

i figure maybe its like a israel thing/?

ill slowly fake-RIP the entire cast of homicide life on the streets

serious kudos for being able to generate almost seven years' worth of fake outrage and surprise over the fact that ilm loves the beatles and brian eno, though

im not outraged im bored

i actually fuck with brian eno too

RIP andre braugher may god punish the man who made that faulty hangglider

yaphet kotto!!! rip

how lame is it that there's a screamo band that called themselves "Yaphet Kotto"?

ethan why arent you all over this thread POLL: Best line from "Flagpole Sitta"

I wanna publish 'zines And rage against machines, I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine

theres a ska band named skaphet kotto

are there really no worthwhile forums for fans of real music out there?

says dude who spent 5 years whining about how nobody on ilm really understands limp bizkit

yeah, that's what i've been doing since 2002
