The most scary thing is that this is indeed considered a sensation. Why shouldn't black and white people be able to appreciate the same genres of music, regardless of race?

Shocked that the thread has gotten this far with no mention of Sound Barrier!

This reminds me of that "Why do rappers talk about Kurt Cobain" so much thread.

Nirvana sold 24 million records in America. Of course black people listen to them! Everyone listens to them!

So, who else got a personal email [albeit a curt, nasty one] from the author? Raise your hand.

Maybe we (ILX) should start a blog just for posting letters from bands+nytimes writers+such who get mad about bad press.

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

mts, was the letter in response to ilx, or maybe just your blog post?

― critique de la vie quotidienne (modestmickey), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

it was a response to my blog post.

― mts (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

aww.

― critique de la vie quotidienne (modestmickey), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

i know, total letdown, eh?

― mts (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Still not clear on why UrbanDictionary is an NYTimes worthy news source. Dom P. doesn't even fuck with that shit.

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

especially when the ascendency of indie rock to popular culture has wrought complete homogenization.

Yea, but that's your fault maria!

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

all those other widely-read publications and blogs were completely innocent -- the blame clearly should rest on the shoulders of a nobody blogger. believe what you want to believe.

― mts (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

no rave keyboard; no cred

stop making me blush with your flattery, sir. i might be inclined to look favorably upon you.

I'd suggest you save your money. Horrible, dreary record. When Muzz left, the fun left with him.

why does black people never want to change your life?

I guess if you find a copy for a couple of bucks it's worth a spin.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Why aren't there more people like Jimi Hendrix, Phil Lynott, Lenny Kravitz and Kele Okereke?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

B/C no one even knows who the fuck two of those people are and three of them are boring.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

why aren't there more people like John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, and John Mayer?

― Make a Beck Song #1 (M Matos), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

None of them are remotely as boring as 99,99 per cent of today's contemporary R&B or hip-hop acts.
