No, you're absolutely right. I haven't been a fervent Pavement fan in years and years, but I also don't give a shit if the current trend among elitists is to act like they weren't a great band.

This board is chiefly occupied by adults, it seems.

I know- they're a pop band and everyone knows about them. But so what? At least a FEW of those bands have to be good.

I've been mourning them in silence, but they deserve a public wake.

louder 06.12.2012 05:37 AM

louder 06.12.2012 05:40 AM

the White Stripes unappreciation thread.

louder 06.12.2012 05:43 AM

does NoiseRedux even approve this band? as you know, i'm just his alt so he can get people to agree on how phenomenal Birdman Jr. was.

EVOLghost 06.12.2012 05:45 AM

They started out as experts in simplicity, making just plain right-on pop songs, just like the Beatles. Both bands expanded on their initial perfect-pop sound with the addition of psychedelics and bizarre experimentation.

Post of the year.... there should be a thread paying tribute to your brilliance.

I can't believe how interesting they managed to sound with only two instruments and a rather limited general sound (garage rock), or how heavy they were.

louder 06.12.2012 06:06 AM

i just remembered, i have downloaded a Black Keys album once. they were as dull as The White Stripes. 00's gar(b)age-rawk.

Sometimes I'm confused by what you say. I can't tell whether lyrics mean something to you or not.

I'm a moderate Black Keys fan (as in, I love the first three albums) but hearing some of my then favorite songs stumbled through by five bored-looking poorly dressed geeks was not exactly the thrilling experience I was anticipating.

It brought momentary satisfaction to post that comment, but don't take my word for it.

Genteel Death 06.12.2012 06:20 AM

I like those things because I like them.

Are you angry over my comment?

louder 06.12.2012 06:21 AM

Their music was rare in that it was awesome even when it was kind of bad, and their ridiculous songs were often also brilliant.

louder 06.12.2012 06:26 AM

wait, is it edgy to tell people i really miss Ween?

louder 06.12.2012 06:28 AM

my playlist is consisted of Ween, the White Stripes, Pavement and the Walkmen.

as you can see, i only listen to music that is critically acclaimed.

Hopefully Noisefield doesn't read this. I briefly glanced through Ween references before opening this thread, and she made the last one.

The woman is a Ween obsessive.

Not the biggest fan, but I love their last 3 albums. They were at their best when they were rockin out and coming up with catchy riffs.

People would probably at least rethink less of me of they knew exactly how much I love the Cure. I don't think many could sit through Join the Dots in its entirety without losing their heads. To me its just nostalgic pornography.

It still rocks my nuts if I listen to it either on Vinyl or with really good headphones, but the whole thing is mixed too low, and subtle mastering changes could turn it into the goddamn Mona Lisa.

My much younger cousin's friend, who has never been a music fan, or even mentioned music in my presence, commented on how awesome Skrillex is the other day on Facebook.

Suggest songs for a playlist that I can give her that will turn her ON to the music and not OFF. Also, please tell me I'm not the only one who suffers from this. Tell me I'm not the only one who's interrupted a party to put on "Bad Moon Rising" only to be met with immediate silence, the focus of a hundred blank irritated drunk stares.

floatingslowly 06.12.2012 08:44 AM

next party, put on Sonic Boom.
:(


Ps: I put two mix on soundclouds. you might enjoy the second one better

floatingslowly 06.12.2012 08:50 AM

I like noisefeld and sevarian.

I think I might have been a cunt to noisefelda about the laming flips, once. But that's only because I am a massive cunt.
