Rolling CHALLENGING OPINIONS thread 2008

Yeah, exactly.

ok something incredibly insane just happened

involving Calvin Johnson?

did KBP reveal his secret ilx crush to you?

me: who who who who
plz say *** ***
Erica: WTF have I told you this before???
me: no
i was guessing
Erica: how did you guess that???
me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Erica: yes, it was Mr. ***
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me: that is insane
Erica: just cause I said controversial???
you got it from that?
me: omg
Erica: I KNOW

I really don't think I've ever told Louis about that before. Weird.

I think that crush thread revive should just be put in the failed experiment category. oh well.

Sarahel it's a sat night so you probably wouldn't get many responses. Also, if ppl webmail you their crushes you would see who they were, right? Lack of total anonymity would probably deter ppl.

you're totally right ... i just thought it had lolz potential.

sarahel I will totally anonymously email you a crush! It will probably refer to Mr Que.

I mean ppl could create a new login or something but that's a hell of a lot of trouble to go through for that sorta thing.

ha! ... I think I did post my friend's story about M1ke P@tton ... there was some related anecdote/joke about not wearing panties in church, but I'm not sure if that actually has to do with Mr. P.

Yeah, you said he was an asshole.

xp - enbb - I was mainly thinking of people making up fake crushes on ilxors like Steven Garza and Mar1ssa M@rchant.

she only said he was crepey.

Ahhh ok. I added the asshole part myself then. See?? This is what happens when you tell stories about famous people. ;-)

she also said "he likes them young"

i have a crush on stephen_garza's girlfriend tbh

you've gotta say why!

the lolz are in the "why"

So he and Mr. Johnson have that in common then. Interesting.

because of her beautiful tit flesh, duh xp

pass th' hot cocoa and make room under the blanket; it's a SECRET GOSSIP CIRCLE

Maybe you should have a secret crush email, sarahel, that you can post on that board and check. Then people can use fake email accounts to email you instead of creating fake ilx accounts.

if I find time at work tonight I might do this.

'pm me your price, strongohulkington' is hilarious hoos -- im with u

ty deej

i apologize for calling u 'butthurt' that one time

u were prob right
but u are also rite to apologize

sarahel, i must know this tale as well

me too tbh

sent it to you both.

thanks :)

"I couldn't be more serious" this is like a challop drudge siren isn't it?

was gonna put that here but too lazy

my goals in life are modest

yall

i got some shit coming here in a second

man i was going to go to bed but you got me hangin in suspense

alright hold on

k i'm gonna brush my teeth

this isn't gonna be an example of october's finest, is it?

no rush dude

this kid is cool but oh man - throughout this whole convo i wanted to be like "listen dude i post to a MESSAGE BOARD i can't be having pointless convos about the order of albums in pfork lists in real life. i'm WAY PASSED YOU."

*rolling my damn eyes*: ok im pretty much furious with pitchfork's "end of decade" features
sargnt88: why
*rolling my damn eyes*: i mean the articles are pretty okay, the decade in indie is actually quite good, but these Top lists are AWFUL
*rolling my damn eyes*: for songs, they literally just picked about 400 songs for numbers 500-100 and randomly assigned numbers
*rolling my damn eyes*: there is literally no logical methodology for how these are selected
*rolling my damn eyes*: and then their top 20 was pretty off, to say the least
*rolling my damn eyes*: and then
*rolling my damn eyes*: this best albums of the decade list is such crap
*rolling my damn eyes*: like how are they honestly going to put Dear Science at like 140, when it was literally ALL THEY COULD TALK ABOUT last year
*rolling my damn eyes*: and then put a decent but not great dirty projectors album about 80 spots ahead of that
sargnt88: yeah there are some odd placements
*rolling my damn eyes*: and like
sargnt88: dp album was shockingly high
*rolling my damn eyes*: ok
*rolling my damn eyes*: vampire weekend?
*rolling my damn eyes*: great album!
*rolling my damn eyes*: absolute fluff
*rolling my damn eyes*: nowhere near number 70 or whatever they ranked it
sargnt88: dude it was at 30 or something
*rolling my damn eyes*: DEFINITELY not ahead of exploding hearts' "guitar romantic"
*rolling my damn eyes*: and where the FUCK is Interpol's "Turn Off the Bright Lights" and Strokes' "Is This It"?
*rolling my damn eyes*: what about Elephant?
*rolling my damn eyes*: how can you NOT put those in the top 50
sargnt88: well
sargnt88: there is still 25 left!
sargnt88: those 3 will all be there
*rolling my damn eyes*: 20
sargnt88: 20
*rolling my damn eyes*: i think elephant was listed already
*rolling my damn eyes*: like way back
*rolling my damn eyes*: interpol too
*rolling my damn eyes*: and also
*rolling my damn eyes*: like
*rolling my damn eyes*: im thrilled that the national had both alligator and boxer in
*rolling my damn eyes*: but boxer is a far superior album
*rolling my damn eyes*: and theres no reason for alligator to get top 50 and boxer to get shafted to like 180
*rolling my damn eyes*: BUT BEYOND ALL OF THAT
*rolling my damn eyes*: there is this
*rolling my damn eyes*: :
*rolling my damn eyes*: I actually think it [In Rainbows] might be their best. Better than OK Computer, better than Kid A.
*rolling my damn eyes*: ok
*rolling my damn eyes*: well
*rolling my damn eyes*: fine
*rolling my damn eyes*: you want to call In Rainbows Radiohead's best album?
*rolling my damn eyes*: youd be foolish
*rolling my damn eyes*: you probably just havent relistened to OK Computer in a while
*rolling my damn eyes*: but fine
*rolling my damn eyes*: claim that
*rolling my damn eyes*: but you CANT say that and then stick it at 21 of the decade
*rolling my damn eyes*: if youre arguing that In Rainbows is radiohead's BEST ALBUM, there is zero chance that isn't in the top 10, or even top 5, of the decade
sargnt88: yeeeeeeeeeeah it was kind of weird that they let that blurb run like that
*rolling my damn eyes*: and essentially his argument in favor of IR over OKC or bends is that since its newer and we havent had as much time with it its fresher to him and its also so much more approachable - just look at how many new radiohead fans there are!!!1!
*rolling my damn eyes*: FUCK THAT NOISE
*rolling my damn eyes*: animal collective arent approachable for shit and theyre raved and raved about
*rolling my damn eyes*: is merriweather post pavilion in this list yet?
sargnt88: nah it's coming
*rolling my damn eyes*: cause if not ill bet you that winds up top 10
*rolling my damn eyes*: yeah, and that is some sauce
*rolling my damn eyes*7: im sorry, look, its a decent album when you can finally get into it, and maybe it might hint at where one part of indie rock is moving towards, this freshly avant-garde, hard to appreciate but worth the effort kind of sound
*rolling my damn eyes*: but
*rolling my damn eyes*: COME ON
sargnt88: yeah i don't understand how they're rating it so high already
sargnt88: i dont have any feelings really about them but idk
*rolling my damn eyes*: its absurd
sargnt88: i thought feels & sung tongs were untoppable amongst AC people
*rolling my damn eyes*: look i can get high and enjoy animal collective but only in REALLY small doses
*rolling my damn eyes*: theyre really really excruciatingly hard to enjoy
*rolling my damn eyes*: and i wont even begin to deny that a good good portion of their song catalogue is bullshit noise and you can call it "artsy" or whatever if you want but let's be honest no one is really being impressed with a big fan of AC
*rolling my damn eyes*: i'll talk pulk/pull over any ac song any day because at least when radiohead does songs comprised mostly of noise it's fucking RIDICULOUS the way the sound penetrates your ears and that song honestly makes you feel like you can sense the ripples of the sound waves in and out as they enter your ear
*rolling my damn eyes*: /end rant
sargnt88: yes well
sargnt88: kid a is going to be number 1
sargnt88: so don't cry too hard
sargnt88: discovery will probs be #2
*rolling my damn eyes*: they just really arent helping their rep as elitist pricks who talk more out of their ass than with logic

hahahah that is epic

i never ever say this but that dude may need to get drunk or laid or something

look i can get high and enjoy animal collective

if there was an "YEAH I SAID IT" in there my life as a challops surveyor would've been complete

yeah it def could have used a "i'm totally serious"

what is "some sauce"? is that like a regional expression i don't know?

yeah i have no idea

*rolling my damn eyes*: they just really arent helping their rep as elitist pricks who talk more out of their ass than with logic

Cuz ffs only logical ppl are allowed to be elitist pricks!!

do u go to school with this kid jordan?
