Did you hear Pink Reason's split with Electric Bunnies? I really fucking love ''Watching You Fall''. Great song.

No, haven't heard that one Pork, will check it out.
I don't really have anything to contribute to this thread, except that I really like this board a lot. And I dunno why. The only thing that annoys me about this board is the constant Dinosaur Valentine Pavement threads... I don't really understand the point of constantly discussing bands who haven't been relevant for 10-20 years, when we are probably living in the best time for music ever. Ah well. |

I get tired of that bullshit cop out "there is always great music and always shit music."
no shit. wow. yr saying deeeep things there. how childish and simplisticminded can you get with that crap? what I am talking about is the shifts in ALL music that happens as the public tastes ebb and flow. we are in the middle of an innocuous, safe, pussy-soft, overly sentimental and melodramatic ebb, and it may not have peaked yet. that shit sucks. I am waiting for that shit to die down so that in several years, there is a new influx of a lot more bands seeking to RAWK and to provide high enrgy entertainment. The same thing happened in the 5-10 years we were stuck with pearl jam clones. the kids backlashed against that selfrighteous weaknut bullshit and started to raise the skronk to 11 again. Let's get back to THIS HIGH ENERGY FREAKOUT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBUtk...layer_embedded

Rob, I think the only person who's being childish here is you. There has always been good music and bad music, that is a universal fact, as obvious as it is, not my own opinion. If you are stuck with Pearl Jam and Fleet Foxes, I can only assume ( nah wait, I am now certain that's the case) that it is your own fault. You don't get stuck with shit bands unless you want to. Like it or not.

Another thing, for all your talk about raising the skronk to 11 this and raising the skrong to 11 that, I get the impression you have a very conservative taste in terms of what music can sound like or can do to do one's perception/ pleasure. Your populistic banter is ok in all its romanticism, but often I find it's only used by people who pussyfoot their way out from things that really sound like the real deal. It reminds me of when someone constantly makes a big thing of how things are in terms of their perception of ''the state of music'' - to use a pompous expression that I'm sure goes through too many a mind of so called non-mainstream listeners when they express what they think of such and such band - but a quick investigation on what tickles their fancy reveals that their curiousity for finding out stuff has a clear set of limitations somewhere, drawn somewhere inside their head, and often not apparent to themselves. This is fine, I don't see why someone shouldn't be like that. The only problem I see is that it becomes less stimulating conversing about music with them because you already know where it will end. |

Admittedly that post needs a lot of editing, but phone is ringing. I hope you got my point, Rob. The point being that if you listen to They Might Be Giants you don't have much to complain about ''the state of music''.

TMBG have been around since 1982. they are no more representative of the state of music today as Bruce springsteen, or the Youth. You seem to be confused. I am talking in generatlities about the overarching flux and ebb of popular music, not specific bands, nor specifcic tastes.
I cannot wait until tomorrow, for I will be hearing Itzhak Perlman perform, and he always turns it up to 11 and brings the skronk, right?????.

Name today's bands you think are making shit music, and then name today's bands you think are making good music, or offer the hope of making things right for you in the future. You are too vague, please namedrop.
