It is possible not to like a certain musical artist without being accused of "closed-mindedness." That is so tiresome. It's called personal taste. Good god. If you carry this to its logical conclusion, being "incredibly open-minded" just makes you into an aesthetic shit-sponge.

Writing off music without ever listening to it is being close-minded. Listening to it and forming an opinion is not being close-minded. See the difference?

How many people here would honestly sit down and listen to a jpop record from beginning to end, even if a lot of trustworthy good-taste-having people would reccomend it to you? Pretty much none of the board. "Duh, it's pop and bright and happy fuck dat shit fuck dat." No interest whatsoever. I actually sit down, listen to a song or two by an interest, and then form an opinion about them before I reply to threads. It's something I do.

Besides, I already said.. you actually listened to them. So, you have your opinions. That's great. I wasn't even referring to you in my post anyway.

Yeah.

I was astonished at how much the crowd LOVED them at the show I saw. I think my friend and I were the only ones in the place who were in agony.

the one on the right?

The non-man-looking one.

I have listened to several albums of theirs and I fucking hate them with a rage reserved ussually for Kobe Bryant or Thomas Kinkade.
fucking boring pap-smear folk

Rob you seem pretty against music that doesn't contain ROCKING OUT!

Haha I'm joking.

Anyway, I listened to the songs on their myspace and I like them... not amazing, but it's pretty and pleasant.

(Oh and Joanna Newsom does fucking rule indeed)

I need my rock n roll to ROCK OUT.

If I am contemplative or not in the RAWKIN mood I go for my large selection of Jazz/classical/blues/funk records.

I have to sit and listen to cocorosie when they coem up on my g/f's ipod in her car.

suck


what makes me laugh a laugh of ridiculousness and unbelief is how manytimes a week I see a car drive by with a dude inside jammin out LOUD, just BLASTING some slow-jam R&B bullshit woman weep-fest.

I really really like them.
saw them 2 times and both times were really strange and really good.
I also enjoyed the tez beatbox solo minutes a lot

no punk no fun!

C-c-c-c-collagen rock.

I like 'em quite a bit, especially Ghosthorse & Stillborn. Curious to see what they do next, the single they put out a year or so was very...uh...Lillith Fair.

^Î agree, that single was really not good

in a way cute music, so why not.

I love Rob Instigator.
That's my conclusion of this thread.

... the dumpster :mad:

It's okay, not everyone likes beautiful music.

You got that right!

PS... Deerhoof are 1/4 JPop, and a lot of people around here like them!
