I do respect that though. Shrug.

But I do see and pretty much agree with your two sides thing.

So in a sense our tastes all overlap and then diverge. But I respect what those divergences are. That's kind of all I'm ever trying to stress.

To use the example of me and Soup - we both love Wilco. A lot. But I love Ryan Adams and he hates him. And he probably loves stuff I hate. But whatever. That's what makes this board interesting - hopefully anyway. That we can all kind of weave in and out with our preferences and maybe even share some stuff.

Like evollove said - what the fuck. It's mostly just music. It's all just fun talk.


Anyone who judges you for what you listen to is shit. Arguments about relative quality of different musicians are fine, but judging a person because of what makes their ears feel good is asinine and for 100% cunts.

Also, I love you no matter what you like, because we have fun shooting the shit about it even when we disagree.

No

I swear, even after all these years, against my better judgement, I still really like Spice Girls "Wannabe." Gonna respect that? Hell, I don't even respect that.


Don’t laugh, hombre.

In many ways, noisereductions is the least full of shit person here. I’ve never seen him attack anyone, and I’ve never seen him be intentionally cruel (which many people don’t realize is a very sad thing to be), and I’ve seen him weather insults without climbing into the muck to circle-jerk his accusers.

He talks about music and other stuff, and he respects other perspectives.

Also, if you’re serious about liking “Wannabe,” I respect that as well. Doesn’t make my ears feel good, but does it have merit as a pop song? Certainly.

I'm more of a 2 Become 1 kind of guy. I'm a romantic deep down.

noisereductions 01.20.2018 04:20 PM

2 Become 1 is the better song... But I feel like you weren't being serious.

God you're a fucking idiot. You're so stupid, how do you breath? You're the most awful person I've come across online. Your ancestors should have been aborted to spare the world your insipid drivel.

jk

Actually, I don't know that song.

I think you’ve lost track of who you’re trying to make fun of.

It’s actually “Masseduction” but I’ve called it the same thing countless times.

Thanks for this, I hadn't heard it before.

You're quite welcome. That post was brought to you by Bad Hombres, a division of Shithole, Inc.

I've decided that I will listen to nothing but The Ex for the next couple of days!

3io - Back To New Roots

Interesting covers album w/ jazz interpretations of 90's/00's dance tracks. Opens with a version of "Eple" (Royksopp) that I really like. Also has DJ Shadow, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, etc.

I bought Jah Wobble and the Nippon Dub Ensemble on vinyl. Quite odd dub

Yes. Also:

Barbara Manning — "Mark E Smith & Brix"

Dig the Kim & Thurston reference as well. Which brings us to...

What? No, I made it, son! I grabbed the images from AllMusic, downsized them and then used gifmaker.me, I believe. That was years ago — it could use a nifty update...

noisereductions 01.26.2018 04:06 PM

I wasn't sure if it was aggregated from somewhere. Like, something similar that flipped your last 20 albums listened to on Spotify or whatever service could make a pretty cool sig. Or something that showed the last 20 albums added to your Discogs collection? Would be neat to see how easy it would be to put something like that together.

No! Cut out the covers from some magazine using a box cutter! Paste 'em onto a piece of paper using real glue! Then xerox the motherfuckers! That's the way we did it back in the day! THE HARD WAY, BABY!

You can follow me on Facemook, Twatter, Instacrap, Spotifuck, but mostly down the street.

I have sig view turned off, so I don’t see that shit, but I do remember thinking yours was cool. You should update it.

I have been.

Also the new No Age, which, as mentioned above, is pretty good... better at first listen than their last.

hey I didn't know that word yet. Anyway, didn't really stick to my plan. But the thing is. I never listened to them at all until I decided to see them live at their 33 1/3 anniversary a couple years ago and realised that I had missed a lot. They are such a cool band, and not at all what you would imagine of a punk band. At least I always thought they were called punk. But they have so many albums that I have no clue where to start. The one I adore though is Scrabbling At The Lock with Tom Cora.
But musicwise I am absolutely not a patriot, there are only very few Dutch bands I really like. You can count them on one hand with three fingers. I'm more intrigued by the Belgian music scene, especially near Antwerpen. dEUS and all their side projects for instance. Which is only an hour south for me still anyway, but different country ;-)


And just now I listened to the new Nils Frahm. Have to listen to it a bit more, didn't grab me instantly.

I am listening to albums by bands that would result in snide remarks if divulged.

Hah. Like Gin Blossoms and Candlebox? Or like Kendrick and Frank Ocean? ‘Cause some folks are too cool to entertain the empty populism of the latter two.

In other words: fuck those other kids

Savage Clone 02.05.2018 07:15 PM

Sometimes it's not about being too cool, it's about Frank Ocean being insufferable to listen to for more than four consecutive seconds. But hey, if you have time in your life for that go right ahead. Who am I to say? I'll be over here listening to some excessively fruity Progressive folk music from the 1970s. Everybody knows how cool that is.
