for once I'd love to see a funk/hip-hop/R&B/whatever bill where there's one token indie noise band and not the other way around

I really like that Measles Mumps Rubella single and they are good live

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:40 (nineteen years ago) link

$20 to the asshole who goes up to Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and calls them "token" to their faces.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:44 (nineteen years ago) link

$20 to the asshole who deliberately misses the point.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:46 (nineteen years ago) link

What little I've heard of White Magic was great. Dunno who the heck the rest of those folks are though...

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:48 (nineteen years ago) link

$20 to the editor imprecise with language to the point of racial insensitivity (not to mention insulting a show that a friend of mine is promoting).

thanks Joel !

Don't feed Matos. He's had enough to eat

hahaha you know I got your back Russ dude. But I like Matos too, just think he's wrong on this one.

you can be an otherwise good guy and also be a thread troll, this has been proven by science.

btw, since she already came up in this thread, CAT POWER is playing our next free outdoor show on 6/26, with DOUBLE LEOPARDS, 2/5 BZ (dance/psych from Istanbul), SAPAT _or_ VALLEY OF ASHES (same group, different focus), and DJ BRIAN TURNER (music director of WFMU)

― Russ, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

no SB??!?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

no SB??!?

we already played there last year.
besides, I wouldn't want to book myself at an event like this.
class-less.

― Russ, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

"don't insult my friend" = lamest fucking response evah. also, I'm curious--if I call Thievery Corporation the tokens for that show I posted, which they are, am I being racially insensitive, too?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:01 (nineteen years ago) link

heh I thought you meant the Roots were the tokens!

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:02 (nineteen years ago) link

and I do think it's lame to insult someone who's actually doing something! If Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings hadn't been booked, would you be complaining that they hadn't?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

both of them are! I mean, come on! it's an all indie-rock bill with a token rap artist and a token dance act. (unless you count the Postal Service, which I don't.)
anyway, the point is that this kind of bill--indie rock indie rock indie rock + one non-indie thing that indie rock kids like--is really commonplace. pointing that out /= complaining. for god's sake, the Dap-Kings are the only band on there I'd want to see!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:05 (nineteen years ago) link

also on a personal tip I think this Patrin-esque accusation is kinda beneath you.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:05 (nineteen years ago) link

well then state that it's commonplace, not that they're tokens.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:06 (nineteen years ago) link

but yeah, I forgot that posting to a public message board was a guarantor that all responses will be sweetness and light. thanks for the reminder.

xpost: how is pointing out the obvious an accusation?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

tokenism is commonplace! I mean, earth to Joel!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

WOE IS MATOS

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I think, and have argued previously, that use of the word "token" when applied to stuff like this is unnecessarily incendiary.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:10 (nineteen years ago) link

you have argued this, yes. and I should've figured I'd end up arguing about this with you anyway because I saw the thread title and figured it was posted by someone you knew.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm pretty psyched to see all of the bands on the bill, because hey I like a lot of different kinds of music.

Should I be pissed that only a couple of people danced when I spun funk records last Saturday? Should I call them tokenists? Or should I just be happy that some people danced?

i bet you're excited to go to the show afterwards, too, right? yay!

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:20 (nineteen years ago) link

omg btw dean some indie bands have non-white people in them omg.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Joel, if you're looking for a retraction or apology for my initial post, you're not going to get it. Sorry, dude.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:21 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah lauren tho I have no freakin' idea who those bands are aside from sightings. are you booking/promoting it? you should hire me to dj, the Tommy's guys love me.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm not looking for a retraction or an apology, I'm just looking for some sense.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost: hstencil do you like repeating people's points for them? because near as I can tell that's EXACTLY what dean was saying

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

TS: "agreeing" vs. "repeating"

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:24 (nineteen years ago) link

well, when yr in attack mode it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:24 (nineteen years ago) link

omg btw dean some indie bands have non-white people in them omg.

Yeah, you're correct. They have TOKEN non-white people in them!

TS: "attacking" vs. "defending"

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

har har. not what I was saying at all, if that's where you're going w/this.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost--that was to dean.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:27 (nineteen years ago) link

exactly why more precise language is needed.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I have no freakin' idea who those bands are aside from sightings

i'm booking/promoting w/ todd p. free blood are two members of !!! along with another singer. bass, busted synth, male/female vocals. they sound like sexual harrassment. i haven't heard megaweapon - the zum records guy from sf doing a solo thing.

that tokenism issue deserves its own thread. i wanted to start one but i keep thinking the question (of funk bands on indie bills) had already come up (several times) in the past. i can't find the relevant thread though. any ideas where it came up in the past?

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:03 (nineteen years ago) link

ohnononono tokenism's already been covered, I think we should maybe put that one to bed. It was on Nate's "Pazz & Jop Critics Who Voted for OutKast and No-Other Hip-Hop" thread (forget the exact title).

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Who wants to be like Dan Selzer and dj every freakin' weekend?

All the poseurs and wannabe's in NYC, dude! Actually I'm scaling back, and the quantity(and quality) of my DJing varies.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

ok but wasn't there a thread about "rock dudes who only like free jazz" thread? this sounds more like that discussion, rephrased. where was that thread?

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:31 (nineteen years ago) link

jon should totally change his username to JONNo)))

― the surface noise made by people (electricsound), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 22:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Dan I think you're all quality.

I cringe to think of what I might've posted to a thread entitled "rock dudes who only like free jazz."

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

scanned, nothing too embarassing from me.

...the hell?

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Thursday, 20 May 2004 00:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't be bothered to read this whole thread - is there going to be some kind of FAP-action at this show? I'm curious to see the Dap Kings.

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 20 May 2004 01:37 (nineteen years ago) link

secret fall show on saturday nite!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:08 (nineteen years ago) link

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:10 (nineteen years ago) link

has it? i would go but i hate boogaloos. i'm gonna see them tonight instead.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:12 (nineteen years ago) link

the fall @ boogaloo? insane.

didn't they cancel the rest of their tour though?

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:13 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, it was on nyhaps last night. and yeah, I thought the tour was cancelled, too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:14 (nineteen years ago) link

it was, but mark was here to do press and i guess the rest of the band was with him too? either that or he's gonna pick up some carnies in coney island and rock the fuck out.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:17 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm going tonight, too, yanc3y. if we're lucky, there might be jello shots again.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

where are they playing tonight?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 20 May 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought Mike was kidding about the Fall playing boogaloo.

Yancey, if you want to keep up, you have to read nyhappenings. Flavorpill just ain't enough.

Actually, the best info is on friendster, but what a pain in the ass that is.

I think he was over at Chris' yesterday.

you missed a fun show tho.
all 3 bands played really well.
