Rob Thomas, stylish as ever.

Metal Mike is Dyonysius to Kogan's Appall-o

Angry Samoans were awesome

lol I thought that was Rob Thomas for a second

I once requested Galang or Bucky Done Gun and the DJ had no clue what I was talking about. I think this has happened more than once...

Mordy, I've never read Attali but Mark Sinker has, and Mark's also read me and Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer and he's listened to Xenakis and watched Xena: Warrior Princess and seen Daphne & Celeste on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. You can and should see what Mark says about all of us and all of these here:

The Rise And Sprawl Of Horrible Noise Part One

The Rise And Sprawl Of Horrible Noise Part Two

In any event, does Attali have any particular ideas that you think we can use here?

very interesting breathing exercise you got there

ok ethan i'll play them hot shots II and madvillain next time and they'll still say it's shite. what i'm trying to say is that people in general are into adult-contemporary/indie dreck like snow patrol, and anything with a bit of originality is shunned.

he's talking about cambridge innit.

My two co-workers (neither is a critic) who've played it at work after downloading it out of curiosity basically had the reaction of "eh, whatever," not getting what the big deal is either way.

(my girlfriend likes 'em, though)

okay pretty much anything on the teenpop thread is fair game, but.....

How Ashlee says "ruuuule breaker" sounds a lot like McCartney saying "aaaaaah mater" in "Jet" by Wings. (For whatever its worth, I heard maybe six songs from the new Ashlee in the Billboard offices back in December, and this was probably one of my favorites.)

ashlee simpson? shes a singer?

i thought "enlightening music discussion" was not actually a place for enlightening discussion of music, but a place for insane aspie outporings to be posted that the poster themself falsely believes to be enlightening music discussion.

^correct

New Christgau Consumer Guide From MSN Music

chaki correct!

That Chris Gow revival is the worst shit on ilm for a long time.If you're gonna have gay circle jerk in-gags, at least include hte phrase "SNAKES ON A PLANE!" on them

roxy:

1. get off my nuts.
2. Down kick fucking ass as do most Eyehategod related projects.

chak y u have so many angrys

i dont. ive posted like 4 times this month and every time i have roxy has attempted zings which constitutes being on my nuts.

also i saw Down on the recent tour and they destroyed.

Always get Down confused with Cold.

wasnt Cold Fred Durst's brother's band?

i think he signed them but i don't know that they were related

Anyone who thinks Coldplay are pioneering geniuses probably buys less than 4 CD's worth of music a year, if that.

oooh

is "masonic boom" kate st c?

!

I like Doctor Casino's argument (end of 90s vs. start of 00s) and the suggestion of things by Stone Temple Pilots and Barenaked Ladies, though I've never heard the songs in question. STP and the Ladies could only have existed in the 90s, and can be viewed as self-limiting mechanisms: inevitable yet toxic byproducts of the decade.

Similarly, "Pretty Fly for a White Guy"

"I've never heard the songs in question" = the legend across the ilm flag

sheesh:

Aquarius folk have been talking about this or that "white metal" band for years. Never heard any of it.

AC/DC's "If You Want Blood" and Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet" don't work in Empire Records since they galvanize alternia (or at least how the film represents alternia) through music that isn't alternative.

i think this magnificent, gorgeous single deserves its own thread. massive drums, dramatic high-end, growling bass which sounds like engines revving up, gorgeous us-against-the-world lyrics ("i took an oath, i'mma stick it out 'til the end" - aaahhh), and an aboslutely massive crashing powerballad tune. i've played it about 95854944 times in a row since i first heard it. early contender for single of the year!

all of the lex's reviews rest on the piling up of nice-sounding adjectives like that, but using 'gorgeous' and 'massive' twice like that is pretty weak shit even for him.

aboslutely

this has to be a put-on, right?

i wonder how much vampire weekend owes in student loans. columbia has to be pretty expensive. kudos to them for having the grit to record music while working jobs to pay school off

I hate all that backpacker, old-school "jiggy hip hop sucks, it was better in the olden days" shit.

You like that attitude? Jurassic 5 loving studes in Rawkus hoodies who would look at you like you were nuts for suggesting that something as "mainstream" as Reasonable Doubt is a good album?
