rolling enlightening music discussion thread

!

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

who knows

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?

That's more of a CHALLENGING OPINION than an enlightened music discussion.

damn bodrick this is some 'lost' shit right here.

im getting your posts from... before the internets even EXISTED!

hahahahaha

who the fuck has a rawkus hoodie and hates on reasonable doubt?

Some guys.

terence got fucked over by precious and stupid rock journos for:
a) being too much of a pretty boy
b) saying that his first album was better than sgt peppers. apparently its ok for the gallaghers to talk shit about the beatles but not terence
c) supposedly being too arrogant. like thats a bad thing.

that said, he made some truly brilliant songs, some great albums (pretentiousness - whatever), and possessed one of the greatest voices of the past 20 years.

wtf are you even talking about?

From you and Lethbridge-Stewart, I'll take those as compliments.

Here, see if you can get this one, it's much better than "fuck you": There's been a great feast of languages but you've stolen only the scraps.

Public Enemy brought a new energy and political awareness to hip-hop which brought many who would not have come within spitting distance of the genre into the fold. There is no way on earth that Suede can be said to have done the same for indie. It was v telling that when East 17 were asked to name their fave Suede song in NME's Material World column they replied "don't know any". Anderson & co were far more derivative than their press would suggest, even tho Brett made no secret of the fact that he hero-worshipped Bowie and Morrissey.

More I think about that one, the more certain I am it's a joke.

"ditch that" has a 4/4 beat no?
