In celebration of the recent release of the "Sad, Pointless and utterly Patronizing Rants Vol. 1039"-mixtape, I'mma pipe in this lovely compilation.

![]() not on vinyl. this is just a picture of a vinyl cover but not mine. such a nice fucking album. i “own” the cd and it’s buried somewhere in some box. this comes straight from the telephone which is (perpetually) set to “do not disturb”. please do not disturb while i listen. |

P.S. Fun choice of number there :D --- I'm up to 74 albums for the year by now, including far too much Smashing Pumpkins. Should probably start diving back into stuff I haven't listened to for a while - Bowie, older punk rock, etc. |

Wonderful, majestic band. (By the way, their cover of "Seventeen Seconds" is better than the original). Assuming Antagon is antagonizing me, how come you people can freely talk the worst possible shit about any musicians, but when I do it it's "sad, pointless and utterly patronizing"? If it's the way in which I write it, it's better than yours - damn right it's better than yours; I can teach you, but I have to charge. |

Maybe because we don't have the attitude that we're smarter and more enlightened than everyone else on the forum? ![]() Anyway, I listened to Sister today. Something even you can't be snarky about. |

I love Bruce Springsteen, Blondie in the '70s and '80s, late-'70s Fleetwood Mac, Prince (until Lovesexy), Carole King's Tapestry... How many hundreds of millions of units sold do we have so far? How many Grammys and mainstream awards by the like? Give me crap if you want, but don't crap outside the bowl. EDIT: Forgot to include The Rolling Stones up to and including Tattoo You - that alone makes my point. |

I fucking loathe this meme. Granted I haven’t actually seen it in some time thank god, but Christ this is annoying. What irks me is the assumption that I dislike something simply because it’s popular, or, conversely, that my liking a popular thing must be the function of a desire to be interesting. I’m WAY too old to give a shit about being considered interesting by people I don’t know on a barely used internet fan forum. Sometimes popular shit just sucks. Sometimes it doesn’t. I like the Beatles so f’ckoff. |

The way I see it, there's no problem with people being able to "freely talk" shit about musicians. But being able to freely share your opinions also entails putting yourself out there to be called out on your BS every now and then. It works both ways. Deal with it. Not actively trying to antagonize (nice projection there by the way) anyone here, just calling out that 'tude. And that whole "I know better than y'all" shit just reeks. |

it’s not because you talk shit about music/musicians. it’s because you talk shit about the people who like music you dislike. we’re only allowed to do that to trumpistas. liking any kind of music is not a crime. now please behave your fucking self. |

Show me where. If it's what you quoted on your post, give me a break - it was a bad joke at worst (have you heard that song for Pete's sake?). If it's the "Curelovefest" thing, come ON. That's misbehaving? How?! Unlike what some of you have posted about me, there are no personal attacks there... except the one on Robert Smith, which you just excluded. Your argument just doesn't hold. |
Quote:
you asked an open question and i answered it because i can understand people fighting about other stuff, but not ”what are you listening to.” anyway, if you already know the answer and that was just a rhetorical question, then feel free to ignore what i said and carry on with whatever it was you were doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

You couldn't help changing that vowel and turning the sentence from an observation into an insult, huh. Well, Samantha Bee-funny you're not, my friend. Quote:
Art can be a life or death proposition to me, yes. If your self-acknowledged lack of understanding about it drives you to make absurd "statements", then shut the fuck up already. Quote:
This is the definition of being thin-skinned. With that line I did criticize the amount of praise that band's been getting here, but I did it (partly in a silly manner, by the way - I mean, "Curelovefest"? Please...) because I think they're lame and overrated, not because I think whoever likes them is a piece of shit. Margo Timmins sure as hell isn't; she's a goddess. Quote:
I actually had to look up whether the word "projection" had a specific meaning related to wordplay, because as a psychological term you're completely off the mark. It was just a cheap pun on your moniker - how do you miss such a thing? Quote:
I happen to have a strong opinion on a certain music work and I even disagree with the Timmins siblings about it. SO. THE FUCK. WHAT. A much-admired rock critic to whom I couldn't hold a candle in a million years (and who could be absolutely brutal in his writing, and who time has proved both spectacularly right and carelessly wrong - the latter because he summarily dismissed artists and albums of immense quality and influence) was once asked what made his opinion better than that of the average guy on the street. His answer: "Nothing". I don't know better than y'all. Quote:
That's exactly what I'm sayi— oh, forget it, this whole conversation's point died a while ago. |

Except that instead of emo horseshit, I'm talking about the sublime fuckup two minutes into The Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie", when, after the guitar solo, the vocalist comes in too soon, singing, "Me see —", stops, pauses, and then sings the whole line ("Me see Jamaica, the moon above")... and they left it just like that! For all posterity! The sons of bitches! OK, they did add a drum fill right after the screwup, dunno whether the drummer was that quick on the draw but I suppose he was, because if they could edit it in later, why not get rid of the vocal mistake or just record a new take THE POINT IS THE SINGER FUCKED UP AND YET FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY MADE SHIT WORK AND FOR FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS IT'S BEEN ARGUABLY THE GREATEST MOMENT IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY. Now that's art - low, high, and in between... |

My last post rocked, even if most people know already about Jack Ely's glorious, immortal fuckup. You, on the other hand, are quite simply trolling. Of course, sparring with you is a lose-lose, since due to our age difference I'm always gonna come off like Agent Orange picking a fight with Greta Thunberg (not that you give two shits about your own country literally turning to ashes), so, given that you like screenshots, how about: ![]() |
