yeah I sure am.

Why do they not send ICP to Iraq then?

Fluorescent Grey is good.

I guess I have boring, predictable, safe taste. (Shrug.) At least I've fooled myself into believing I have "experimental" taste. So that's good.

well off to read Pitchfork so I know which bands are safe to pledge my allegiance to next...

noisereductions, you should listen to:

heard all except Duster. (At least I don't remember Duster). Bedhead is good. Codeine is very good. Low is great. Actually THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE kills me. Amazing album. Ever hear their Misfits covers bootleg?

Haha no I've not.

I COULD LIVE IN HOPE is my favourite Low recording.

I don['t give a fuck about pfork adam, but sometimes it's weird that someone says "I love this band" and yr like "they're boring, safe, not as expereimental as all these bands I know"

I was really just being silly with the pfork thing. Kind of saying that hating on deerhunter was "old hat" already... much like pfork.

I guess yr right it's not weird to state opinion when asked

I just mean that sometimes (and I dont think you mean it this way) you come across as a bit shitting on other ppl's tastes.

me: I like deerhunter
you: they're so boring/safe/not-experimental-enough

I don't know. Maybe I'm too "fragile". I'll get over it. It's just a msg board. But I just feel like if I was taking to somebody "IRL" and I was like "oh yeah I love (this thing)" and they were like "that thing is so boring and safe blah blah" I'd probably not feel like talkign anymore cuz I'd feel like they were looking down on me like they're taste was far superior.

that title was something yelled at B. Cox by an ignorant audience member. What are you trying to say exactly?

technically it's called "Turn It Up, Faggot" -- the quotation marks are part of the title, denoting it's a quote.

taht sounds awesome. I always found MSI really interesting and fun.

too much discussion abuot a bad band.

and BTW this is exactly what I'm talking about. You probably have a million CD's by bands you like with shitty titles. But somehow THIS means that this band that some of us are professing being fans of is proof that they are unintelligent and have no artistic worth?????? Wow.

those members probably left cuz they had such bad taste, huh?

yeah it's a horrible title, but it's a little um much to sum about a band's artistic merit because of the title of their first album. Many bands' first albums are self-title. That's fucking lazy. But y'know... Sonic Youth have a lot of artistic merit and I wouldn't call them lazy even if their first album title is lazy. I just think it's a weak ass argument to even try to sum up the sonic SOUNDS of a band becuz you think their album title isn't good.

also, her'es a shitty title by a band you like: Lick My Decals Off, Baby

I guess we can all write him off as having no artistic worth too?

of course it's awesome -- you like it, and you have better taste than everyone else here.

the bass on "Nothing Ever Happened" is great.

Joe divulged my name to you all recently. It's Brad. This board is fucking dead lately. It's just me, you and Joe now most of the time.

Where are you wrking now??

I thoght you quit recently or something?

Cause he's an ironic hipster faggot.

They aren't THAT bad of a band.

It's obvious by your "new rock heroes" quote that you dont like them because of their hype.

You might not like their music, or whatever, but if noone had heard of them and they were never famous you would def NOT be shitting on them so hard.

It's just the truth.

I've never read pitchfork but I know friends of friends of deerhunter.

They have a few really good psychedelic "ballads" if you will.

But they dont have a good enough high energy side to match their bleak sad side...so it just becomes redundant and boring.

I think they are boring as fuck, BUT...I dont think they are a terrible band.

Eitherway, it's funny to watch two ppl with clashing opinions go at it so hard.
