Can't you just bring me some pills, cunt?

Can I just say that I dislike nearly everything that Hayden likes? Thanks. I feel warm and comfortable now.

Yeah Yeah Yeah's
The White Stripes Bloc Party - also because the guy sings horribly Cat Power Modest Mouse - even though their early stuff rocks Death Cab for Cutie - but they also just flat out suck |
Conor Oberst is the reason I listen to noise. Only harsh PE contains noise with frequencies high enough to block out the whine. Now I just have to dread the day when someone makes a noise album entirely from bright eyes samples.

Bright Eyes is goofy, just plain goofy. Just when you thought you could get past some of the more annoying vocal mannerisms of Jeff Mangum in Neutral Milk Hotel and enjoy it for the music, some joker like Conor comes along to throw his wreck into the dreck vocal arena.
Shame on me. From before, I forgot two big "townie" bands that bar owners love to play: Namely, Grand Funk Railroad and Cheap Trick. Neither are the worst band in the world, but both are still skin crawl-inducing. |
Although, good music should not be avoided because it is un-hip and it shouldn't be knee-jerk dismissed either just because it is hip. Great music goes beyond any of these considerations, because music is key in defining a zeitgeist, and therefore, its relative importance or unimportance should not be subject to the vicissitudes of day-to-day attitudes and opinions.

One thing that sucks horribly about the indie scene of the past 6 years is vocals. All the new alternative independent bands of this decade HAVE to sing with that STUPID goddamn skin crawling annoying style so all the Emo kids will listen to them. I hear so many bands that are so talented but the singer just makes them so unbearable

I've got some of the examples:
Wolf Eyes Hair Police Yellow Swans and all of this american crappy noise. hell, if you want noise, get the real thing and go for japanese output. |

wolf eyes are an excellent live band, that's why they are so popular, they know how to (as our american friend Savage Clone might say) "rock da partay". forget about wolf eyes records though.

Cracked Magazine's
The Five Most Unintentionally Funny Albums of 2006 a fairly humorous article with embedded YouTube vids 1. Inhuman Rampage by Dragon Force 2. The Life Pursuit by Belle and Sebastian 3. Jibbs Feat Jibbs by Jibbs 4. Amputechture by Mars Volta 5. The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance http://www.cracked.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid= 1285 |
I really like three of those albums, which probably says a lot about my penchant for the absurd. I'm not sure why the reviewer fails to point out that DragonForce are enjoyable because of the absurdity.

I have, for reasons I'm not entirely convinced on myself, refused to listen to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea even in the knowledge that it should be right up my alley.

I was like this with The Drones for wayyy too long. Despite being a band loved by the worst kind of flannelette-clad bourgeois inner city share house hipsters, they're fucking brilliant.

Claypool, the followers are all frat boys, at least the couple times I bothered seeing him
