rolling enlightening music discussion thread

I'd wager 20% of people who write for pithfork "write about music for a living" but please continue to be a crank about a list you haven;t seen yet

i get tired of people who get paid to write about music for a living too

OTM

tbf arguing that a whole decade sucked for music is pretty chin-stroking music critic thing to do

nah, i thought it sucked without paying it too much attention.

but i get tired of people who get paid to write about music for a living seemingly being completely oblivious or uncaring about stuff that doesn't land on their desk.

This is pretty much the way its been since rock writing began. If anything, you should be GLAD places like pfork exist because now that it's easier to hear unique and different music than ever, dudes like William Basinski or whatever are getting props they would have never gotten in Rolling Stone or Spin or even Pfork ca. 2000

the '00s sucked mostly for non-music reasons actually...

i love tits too but lets get back on topic

they're opening for Lydia Lunch

i think i might actually prefer the kshighway-era P2K thread, wow

don't say that

if the p4k thread keeps all the contenderizer posts in one place then i think it's actually an excellent, excellent piece of work.

i coulda been a contenderizer

was that P4k list thread a good summary of the other P4k threads?

pee for kay

pee for kay vs. pee for pay

ugh that thread. i picked a good month to have a baby and completely stop paying attention to that shit.

you didn't do the world any favors by naming him Veckatimest Q. Shipley

what does some baby think about animal collective

seriously my inglourious basterds idea is a good one w/r/t that thread

we may never get this chance again. we can end the war TONIGHT~

what is the idea

NUKE IT

p4k thread is back and better than ever

i kind of imagine that thread as a post-nuclear wasteland where the same 5 people have the same argument until the end of time.

dabugs will be the only ones who survive the nukes

haaaaa

if we can just get geir hongro to start posting in there a lot we might be able to seal it off and jettison it out through the airlock

can't.....leave....well enough alone!

I understand why we can't do it anymore, but sometimes i really really miss the days of imagebombing.

we can't....or we simply choose not to?

Wait, we can't imagebomb any more?

you just cant post a ton in one message...thats all

tbrr i wish scott would start posting earlier in these discussions - his constant reason and level-headedness usually shuts people up pretty quickly

"to be really real?!?"

yes xp

sometimes when i read one of the sub-board music threads it's like i'm in a university basement with a bunch of genius scientists working on time travel and cloning while upstairs the tenured faculty is still discussing how magnificent electricity is.

u should take that break now imo!!

unhinged derision

Can anyone name all the clusterfuck canon-discussing music threads happening right now? I keep wandering into innocuous looking threads to see the same discussion that's happening in a dozen other threads.

i will name them "ILM"

when a buncha threads are crammed into a tiny space and their tails get all tangled up; and they can't even pull apart.
and it gets awesome. eventually, their bodies fuse together and they form a multi-headed live music crit king and we saw one
