Oh schmindie troll, don't you think we've encountered your kind long before now?

Mr. Fever, who's the collective "we", the embittered washed up music critics that haunt this site day in and day out? Or is this just a case of the "royal we", in which case you are fully forgiven sir
― Emily's Cheese, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 09:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Handy tip: try not being a dick to everybody else on the site and then maybe they won't be dicks to you.
Yours, on behalf of all the embittered washed up music critics

I didn't star the "I hate them both" comment above. Having a convo with someone else and someone chimed in with a useful "guess what? I think they both suck" comment....
― Emily's Cheese, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 09:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Well don't rise to it, and don't lash out at the entire site. If you start quarrelling with everyone who makes a comment you don't like, this isn't going to be much fun.
― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 2 February 2010 09:40 (fourteen years ago) link
It never really was THAT much fun to begin with....While I appreciate the advice, someone needs to call a spade a spade, otherwise we just go around in solipsistic circles circle jerking and commending one another's obscure/simultaneously majorly mainstream music tastes, no?

Fine. Blow a gasket defending Grizzly Bear if you like. Fight the good fight for poor misunderstood indie bands everywhere.

they are boring as fuck but as long as animals keep on collecting we need to not let ourselves get distracted and fight the real enemy imo

Not blowing anything.
Someone tomorrow will have something even more dismissive to say to "take me down a notch"---ultimately though, how is anything I said any more/less bitchy than 99 percent of the shit posted on this board?
am I villainized for being a bitch? liking grizzly bear? not being a music critic? defending indie? being contrary? or just being "bloodless"....someone tomorrow will surely tell me why I suck and I'm looking forward to it.

GrizzBear mostly a snoozefest, but 'Two Weeks' is unfuckwithable. Same goes for AnCo's 'My Girls', but the rest of their catalogue is larger and far more annoying, so yes they need to be destroyed first.
― Freddy 'The Wonder Chicken' (Gukbe), Tuesday, 2 February 2010 13:20 (fourteen years ago) link
one thing i like abt anco is the sprawl of what they've produced and all the ideas picked up toyed with and tossed back on the pile.

You know, I kind of respect AnCo for doing new things, which I would never accuse the Grizz of, they just happen to do new things that make my blood boil.

If it wasn't for that (Manners 10th Anniversary) thing, I'd have assumed that was a genuine 2009 fest line-up.

There's hardly anyone kicking out AC in the - I'm guessing mostly American - replies. Phoenix is all time, DP is p good still, never cared for Grizzly Bear.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:47 (three years ago) link
To me the Dirty Projectors & Grizzly Bear albums are unimpeachable classics. AC is eh and hasn't aged well, never got into Phoenix.
Also DP & GB released their best albums within the last 3 years, still going strong.

Merriweather Post Pavilion, Veckatimest, and Bitte Orca are all time greats. If you don't like them then you don't like them. But if you haven't heard them, give them a try. Good for a long road trip.
