caught in a landslide, no escape from the unicorn

Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:08 (fourteen years ago) link

talk about the changes in her singing and whether they enhance or dtract from the material, talk about whether a triple album is genius or insanity, talk about the likelihood that she has a tattoo on her inner thigh of Gonzo/Fozzie frottage*; pretty sure anyone would be more than happy to engage you on those topics

* 5%, btw

For context: Dylan lolz and Dylan love have coexisted for nearly half a century.
otm, and Brian Wilson lols and Lou Reed lols. These guys are my favorites, and I loooove making fun of them.

Actually are there vocal Brian Wilson haters? It seems like you'd have to be an insane curmudgeon to earnestly, genuinely hate The Beach Boys?

Gonzo/Fozzie frottage

thread is a gift from God, imho

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:10 (fourteen years ago) link

(moving away from lols to the polarizing effect many of these artists have, obv)

that's because it was Fleetwood Mac

I don't hate the beach boys, I hate their stupid pretentious fans

"This is a hold-up. Your apples or your life."

stoke for the shawcross (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link

just saying if i was a fucking unicorn, i'd be using that horn all the fucking time for stuff

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link

I was catching up on reading recent interviews with her, and I was responding to something Curt1s posted in response to a brief comments I had about stuff she said in those interviews. Then it snowballed. I don't have a fascination with other people's views of her.

Mostly, I just wanted to pass links to the interviews along in case interested ILMers hadn't seen them yet. Onward with album discussion and unicorn jpegs.

The unicorn and the apple
clomping stomping bobbling down
the stream leads to the castle
oh fie on thee the apple cried
skewered side, biting its thumb
the unicorn clomped, like a dirigible

no I got that, I hit submit to early and didn't really explain that I was extrapolating off of the love and lol phenomenon into the polarizing figure phenomenon and wondering if there was a correlation

the likelihood that she has a tattoo on her inner thigh of Gonzo/Fozzie frottage*

i don't hate but their music is like completely useless to me

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:16 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah i would love to actually talk about this record, but i think we'd need a new thread, and it would need to not be on ilx.

Well then stop posting goole results and talk about the album

Bunsen burner, bubbles, IT'S ALIVE! whaaaaa-? (HI DERE), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link

album's definitely too big for one thread ... maybe three threads?

tylerw, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link

we're gonna need a bigger troll

truly a palimpsest of sage meditations

stoke for the shawcross (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:23 (fourteen years ago) link

I would have more to say about this, but I bought a Corrputed album yesterday and that feels more vital and urgent today than apples or unicorns.
