Pitchfork's P2k: The Decade in Music

I'm not upset dude. I just don't think you're real.

FFS who cares

I'd SB Mark Prindle but he doesn't post here.

You aren't upsetting me, kshighway (if that is your real name). I find you very cute. Just somewhat hard to take seriously.

hey kshighway what are you anticipating vis-a-vis arcade fire and all this pitchfork end of decade biz?

i consider myself a member of the kshighway fanclub.

I'm not upset dude. I just don't think you're real.

In a world where Geir Hongro exists you have trouble believing someone like kshighway could be real?

I'm not a music expert. I'm 22 and naive about most music outside of indie rock. I'll own that. But there's nothing wrong with me being enthusiastic about the stuff that I love and starting threads to discuss those things with other people who might be interested in them.

calling unfamiliar posters sockpuppets: for those who absolutely can't engage or ignore.

kshighway keep doing your thing man.

the kid has moxie

Really you need to let this stuff not bother you. If you are really this earnest then we'll accept it eventually (just like we accept that Geir is really Geir) and the laugh'll be on us.

kid's got zeal

If you are really this earnest then we'll accept it eventually (just like we accept that Geir is really Geir) and the laugh'll be on us.

But not totally on us. Cause you'll still be super earnest.

god who would want that

mordy's a little mad cuz the eagles MLB is out for the season ;_;

mordy, you're being hella douchey fyi

XP :'(

:-)

lol k3v bringin the pain.

yr d-coordinator died fyi

the naysayers do not rule this place. kshighway will always be welcome on ilm

nah i'm an eagles fan 2, we like to be upset together and project it elsewhere, it's what philly fans do

xp call all i know :(((

Thanks velko!

I'm not going anywhere, and I'm sure I'll eventually just get used to taking shit for actually liking indie rock here.

I like indie rock too, but not enough to ever talk about it that much. But I'm old. When I was 22, it's all I wanted to talk about.

kshighway the big secret is that everyone acts like they don't like indie rock but check the post count on any thread about the radioheads ;)

There's a lot of indie rock fans here. But: What Dr. Fever said.

uh tbh ilm is like 90% indie rock so i wouldn't really worry

What the hell. Kshighway (who btw is named after Brooklyn??), besides Joanna Newsom, Radiohead and Wilco - three acts that have gotten a ton of exposure - what other stuff do you like? Surely you have differentiated taste outside PFM's top 10 acts of the aughts?

the other 10% is indie guilt

stay classy mordy

the naysayers have always ruled this place. the new generation of earnest twentysomething nudniks posting in the voices of 14-year-old text messagers notwithstanding.

I remember when I was shocked, shocked that everyone hadn't grown out of their earnestness as I had just the other week, too, guys.

Which isn't to say that earnestness isn't like a giant red flag to me, either, obv.

in kshighway's favor, he does post in full sentences with more or less proper spelling and syntax.

Why is it a giant red flag, Matos?

I think the red flag is that people who use the internet at your age tend to have tougher skins about what people say to them.

Because I'm jaded, kshighway.

you clowns the is he a sock portion of the discussion ended 10 minutes ago

sorry, I missed that meeting back whenever the new generation of total dicks took this place over

forget it, matos. it's a middle school in chinatown.

LOCK THREAD

please

I have a feeling I'll be taken to task for this list, but here's some other stuff "outside PFM's top 10 acts of the aughts" that I love, because Mordy asked. Scrolling through iTunes . . .

Television, Gang of Four, Talk Talk, Scott Walker, Slint, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Tool (will get shit for this), A Perfect Circle (ditto), Kraftwerk, The Focus Group, Dinosaur Jr, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, Aphex Twin, VU, Big Black, Brian Eno, Pavement, Portishead Nick Drake, Mission of Burma, Bob Dylan.

Missed a comma between Portishead and Nick Drake.

wow u guys r totally dignified and awesome

There's good stuff there! You should talk more about those people! Honestly, I'd prefer you start a Tool thread and earnestly defend them than explain why Joanna Newsom is the bomb.

you know, maybe I've changed my mind now

XXP Jeez, stop being a fucking white knight dude. Just think of this thread as a scene out of Irreversible.

i kno rite
