musical challops 2011

Anyway:

Some random unknown group or musician will release a debut that beats the pants off any and every talking-point release that gets a 1000+ post thread here.

this isn't a challop, this is cast-iron certainty

also cast-iron certainty: Ned and LJ will disagree vehemently on which musician or group, exactly, releases this record

idk Ned and I have a decent track-record on agreeing about music and also I don't think we've argued vehemently since my first week on ILX 4 years ago

good times tho haha

I don't think we've argued vehemently since

notice i said "disagree"-- not "argue" ;)

Ned plays it too cool to argue on ILX or anywhere these days, I take it

OK this is repostedfrom WFMU but I liked it:

Donald Miller - Borbetomagus -This coming October/Halloween season, you will be able to purchase in any of your local chain pharmacy or grocery stores, for $1.99 or less, one to five variations of a home studio, copyright-compromised “spooky sounds” CD that will beat the livin’ entrails outta 99% of the crap hailed as genius and/or made the the cover of “The Wire”, in this year 2011 ev.

borbetomagus destroyed my brain when i saw them once

listened to some Lounge Lizards for the first time after the John Lurie episode of WTF. The line between The Lounge Lizards and Dave Matthews Band is extremely thin.

haha hmm, i guess i'd have to cue up some lounge lizards to check, but that has never occurred to me.

I guess my challop is that things like this:

are not so different than this:

but it is a challop because Dave Matthews will eventually take a lead role in that music, and that won't sound as much like The Lounge Lizards

no muppet vocals in lounge lizards though iirc

that thin line of muppet vocals

dave matthews does kind of *look* like a lizard

Musical challops 2018, classical edition: https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/06/i-dont-get-why-people-worship-bach/

Ah yes, J. S. Bach as counterpoint to the Enlightenment. It makes perfect sense. Anyway, everybody knows Mozart is the most unjustifiably worshipped canonical composer.

Karen Dalton - do people really enjoy listening to her hackneyed Billie Holiday impression?

curious how you picked this thread to revive out of the 8,000 ILM threads about "POST YOUR INSANELY CHALLENGING MUSICAL OPINIONS" "WHAT ARTIST DO YOU THINK IS OVERRATED YOU CHEEKY BASTARD YOU" "YOUR SCALDINGLY HOTTEST MUSIC TAKE" etc

lol, IDK, I just searched "challops." Ain't nobody got time for that.

It’s up to you not to heed the challops.

i have wasted my life

(also yours)

They’re all wasted!

life is waste. physics.

Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed. Everything has to change so everything can stay the same.
