I'm glad you're so much less "pathetic" now with less "non-direction."

^^^atari, with respect, this is trolling nonsense. The same goddamn quote and reply in 4 threads? If I didn't know better, I'd say you were out to deliberately get a pissed-off reaction from demonrail666.

is from a passive-aggressive post he made here:
New Smashing Pumpkins album is 83.333% shit

I find his flip-flopping a bit funny, sorry you are not similarly amused.

Hey, nothing passive-aggressive about it. I was just stating what happened - with a little embellishment here and there for comic effect. You know how it goes. I'm actually one of the nicest people anyone could possibly hope to meet. Just ask my mum.

Again, with all respect, that's a daft explanation. Doing it in one thread where it's relevant, fine. Doing it in four unrelated threads is trolling. Come on atari, I never had you down as a wind-up troll merchant...

The whole 'passive-aggressive' thing is the oddest part. As though my posting on one of Atari's threads is inevitably some kind of veiled dig at him. Anyway, life goes on I suppose.

Do you know what? When I've opened the thread I was going to post something very, very similar to the above. Truly one of the most incredible bands ever. So good, so effortlessly good, it's too tough singling out a classic or greatest Can album. They win prizes for 'attitude towards music' alone.

They're one of those bands that, whenever I hear them, I just wonder if a better one could possibly exist. Maybe if they'd split up after releasing Soon Over Babaluma or something.
