valuable new posters

correct me if i'm wrong:

bottom row is kant, marx, barthes, foucault, upper right is nietschze and sartre

where are hegel and heidegger and who are the two at left?

oh duh, derrida on top

who's the pig looking dude?

i can also read their sartre as looking like russell

oh it's all in the filename

nah, top row 2nd left is Wittgenstein

no heidegger no credibility

i took that as wittgenstein and socrates, aw xp

pig nose dude be Socrates i assume

yeah snap, notoriously ugly

oh yeah i guess derrida would have white hair and it would be more geometrical, like a cube with a corner cut off

i kinda want to post that on my FB but i feel like it's already made the rounds?

tag eight acquaintances who will be infuriated and/or confused by who you give them

looool

don't expect to speak to surrogate sartre ever again

jean-paul moleman

remember, billy was a meth-head from the early days up til insomniac, which is a straight speed album. wonder if it's coke now

wondering what prescription meds he's hooked on....adderall, vyvanse would make sense given his past abuse of meth and amps. INSOMNIAC might be the greatest speed album ever made. btw, reading the 12 year old green day fans' reactions and forced denials on the main msg board is pretty hilarious: http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/90220-billie-getting-treatment-for-substance-abuse/

it's as if they've never listened to the lyrics of GEEK STINK BREATH. if you're a speed/meth head like that, you're gonna have drug issues later on.

pretty much zero intelligent discussion on this anywhere on the internet. every green day fan is all "hmm suspicious...seems obviously like a cover-up by clear channel to make sure green day doesn't embarrass them." am i the only one who isn't surprised AT ALL about his drug issues? dude was a fucking METH HEAD at the height of his band's popularity!

Dunno if it's all that farfetched -- the New York based video dudes have been throwing in big chunks of Communism lately (the weather report that starts as a lame "hipster" joke) and have reason to be pissed at the bosses. Enjoy this stuff while it's here.

i know hes not new but this guy has been on a roll

I don't know if it's that my taste is just on a higher level than most, or if the band is just well tuned to my individual sound-interests. Personally I think time will show, and in 20 or 30 years it will be a lot easier to tell that these guys were doing something completely unique. Kind of like how Radiohead fans find out about CAN and realize the truth. About as contemporary as it can get, on some of their prior releases and at times on Parastrophics. Completely different strata.

magnificent. reads like vintage LJ but with more gumption and even less self-awareness

Idiology is I think their most "important" album. It's the one where they push their aesthetic to its furthest limit. Not in terms of noise, but in terms of concept. They manage to create hyper-futuristic pop music while also having a certain... Schoenbergian purity... unity of structure and sound. It's utterly new. Perhaps just as new to the "song" form as Schoenberg was to the classical form back in the day. They deconstruct every level of the sound object world... from the concept-sound to the sound-sound to the production-sound to the melody-sound. LOL. They reduce pop music to an avant-garde art form with just as much validity as any given Beethoven or Mozart. The possibilities become endless.

(this land was made for you and me)

fwiw Lamp i'm pretty sure i have written more or less that same post about Vitalogy

gossardian purity

I guess I just don't see how people could dig Confield or Drukqs and not like Go Plastic. It just seems weak minded.
