Only if you become friends w/ them long enough to talk them out of any sort of music career and that they should go back to their really amazing day jobs they gave up to annoy the shit out of us.

how do you lose money on live shows??

Presumably the backup musicians they hired plus transport plus gear plus maybe their own soundman or whatever else cost more than they make on the show.

I meant lols at ice cr?m, not that they paid ringers to lol at their shows, although I would believe that too

I've lost money on shows, but when I say "lost money" I mean like $5-10 because we were playing somewhere that took a lot of gas to get to and then not many people showed up.

lamp is quite right

do yall never think of some comment of faux-hyperbolic rage at a cultural product or signifier that is not to your liking and then think better of it?

ilx's engine is actually a hybrid powered by a combination of faux-hyperbolic rage and challops "braking" such as your post (xpost)

VegemiteGrrrl, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link

I hope this brings on the tweemageddon where all bearded hipsters and frumpy knitwear obsessed girls are called upon and transported to a heaven filled with accordion lessons and ironic Americana.

remember, the guys just have beards but the girls are "frumpy"

damn, buzza blew this case wide open. bravo!

ironic that ilx's own thread revivalist would get the scoop on this couple being revivalists

VegemiteGrrrl, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

i just wonder if people ever essay some scornful thought/reply to these sort of threads, and then think...'oh forget it' and go and do something more enlightened

max bro'd (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:32 (thirteen years ago) link

never seen these ads. this thread befuddles me.

i'm pretty sure i was mad about chillwave but then realized i'd never heard any

if you are truly enlightened then you know that nothing you ever do will ever matter. so have at these hyundai dweebs! you're all just gonna die anyway.

^^twee zen

the medina green preservation society (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link

cuz i was sort of going to add to the scorn...noting the way the lyrics are strung along with the melody in a totally haphazard way*, but my lack of music-theory knowledge caught up with me cuz it's kinda difficult to explain further and then i thought 'oh forget it'

that said i oughtn't to have been devoting my thoughts to this stupid song anyway

*i think this vaguely reminds me of 'the microphones' but again 2000s indie isn't a specialism of mine

max bro'd (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link

not for the first time scott seward sums up my life view in a nice sentence.
