is it too late for a "WAIT WAHT?!" here?

for fucks sake people he clearly posted that on the wrong thread, it's not especially interesting

for fucks sake people

Person, really. It's only me, but way to keep a lid on it.

Also what is the right thread?

I think he said "people" because it's been mentioned on several other threads already.

However, I would like to know this, too:

Also what is the right thread?

sorry, over the top reaction on my part

there was some thread (which i probably won't be able to find now darnit) where song titles were reworded to tone them down or remove slang..

here we go

Here, a thread featuring translations of song titles from their commonly known designation and into ACADEMESE, and then involving guess-work as to the original nomenclature in order to make a competi

i note he did it on that thread as well, so maybe its inclusion on this thread is an attempt at lolz on geir's part????

(so, in short: "use other threads please":)

I just tried this...

and one of the results is truly bizarre.

"DVD, Movie, Video: Live a Little, Love A Little, Elvis Presley ...This movie is a conceptual masterpiece amongst the Elvis movies. It is a meditation upon naming & namelessness, the power of orgasm & the failure of logos, ... "

Follow the link, and it carries on in equally strange ways. Either the guy is deadly serious, or seriously taking the piss. I'm not sure which way to go on that one.

Nobody seems to realize that the problem isn't the language, it's the fact that music reviews universally suck.

^^^ this. i was trying to think of why i thought this thread-concept nbit the big one, but there it is. most (positive) music reviews are a gallimaufry of boosterism, reaching, and outright humbug.

At best, a review should be a by-product of an otherwise-directed bit of writing that entertains, informs, or what have you on merits other than its value as a musical consumer guide.

On this 'tip' ("tip"!):
"Chameleon" (Tanya made this point once but she nicked it off me or Pete) - David Bowie a rock chameleon i.e. ever-changing, unpredictable BUT chameleons blend into the background, so it's more like Soup Dragons-y bandwagon jumping AND the only colours they can do are various shades of dull green yellow and brown so 'unpredictable' is a bit off too

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Why is this funny? Coz ANY FULE KNO (well, they do if they watch QI) that chameleons don't blend into the background at all, but change colour in accordance with their mood, which is presumably what Bowie was doing, tho presumably he was not that moody (a commendable thing, no?) coz he left it for an album, possibly two, and at the very least a song, before doing it.

A lurid pink chameleon would be as desirable as, say, Tin Machine?

stop posting this image or similar images following a post re: a large number please, thanks.

unless it's OVER NINE THOUSAND

stop being like OMGWTF when bands have 10-minute-long songs. doing this is lame even when it's indie rock bands (television and can had 10-minute songs) but it's even worse when critics act astounded that mastodon have 10-minute songs. duh they're a prog-influenced metal band.

"classically trained"

"wash, rinse, repeat"

OH I GET IT, IT'S LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON SHAMPOO HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!!

repeat? does anyone ever do that?

They did way back when people only washed their hair once a week.

"balearic"

I think I only wash my hair once a week. Or maybe 1.5 times. Ew.

"Asperger's"

In what context? I have to use it for work.

"stan" gets really overused around here

In the context of "let's talk about this socially-awkward person, I bet they totally have Aperger's"

haha, do people still say "classically trained"? I remember when that used to be code for "metal, but, no really, legit!"

Also using "aspie" in ref. to someone who has detailed knowledge of a very particular subject is offensive and mean.

Haha, the other night my husband said I was "classically trained at memorizing every stupid song that's ever been played on the radio."

At least he didn't say I was "aspie" at it.

i feel like i still see it all the time as code for "legit", when it usually means "this person took piano lessons as a kid".

in pitchfork's review of james blake today:

The gifted British producer's new EP is rooted in the piano (he's classically trained)

Yeah, it's always used as though there's some single Classical Institute that is like the Oxford of music or something. It's a little like saying "You probably wouldn't want to get into a fight with X -- he studied martial arts."

"copydeck"

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE WORD "COPY"?? WHY "DECK"?? AAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH
