no punchline really, just find something hilarious about anthropological subject billstevejim dropping by Dr. Tim F's office in the pink floyd vs. radiohead thread.

Can we discuss the original idea that prompted the thread.

When I was fourteen all the dudes (who smoked some weed and made out with girls and etc.) liked the following old music:

1. Dark Side of the Moon

2. Violent Femmes

3. Led Zeppelin I think but I never drilled down to find out what specifically, presumably IV. I wasn't really good enough friends with this crew to be able to drill down in any sense.

Which they interspersed with Ben Harper as I recall (this was too early for Jack Johnson)

I think Dark Side of the Moon had reached this kind of generation-transcendent position as this kind of counter-cultural experience for a lot of dudes, albeit in a not particularly intense, just-need-a-smoking-and-making-out-soundtrack kind of way; its mustiness pleasing if only because surely 14 yr old smokin dude's bedroom is gonna be pretty musty anyhow.

I'd be interested if this or something equivalent was happening with Radiohead? Are 14 year olds today reaching back to it as a touchstone of low-drama-coolness-of-times-gone-by? Even though Radiohead are only marginally more ~wracked~ than PF it seems that most of their post OK Computer material is a bit too internet dude alone at his keyboard to play quite that role (DSOTM has this kind of chill-but-really-angry-but-really-chill vibe that works quite well in this capacity) but I could imagine OK Computer at a pinch.

Actually I could imagine Odelay and/or Hello Nasty serving this role even more, though obviously that's only once you accept that this particular role within music has no strict sonic content.

OTOH maybe internet dude alone at his keyboard is the new transhistorical truth of 14 year old dudeness, replacing unkempt dude alone on his unwashed bed.

Dark Side of the Moon never sounded as good as when I was 13-14.

OK Computer has been my favorite album since about a year after it was released.

cut to Tim F. scribbling something

"interesting"

"go on"

lol

tell me about your RA

we should start randomly replacing posters with ELIZA bots

i replaced myself with "DOCTOR SBAITSO" for a few months in 2008 or 2009, nobody really noticed though, posts were too long i think

That scribbling was me making a big cross on a page while smiling and nodding.

"what i am" seriously spoiled many a car ride when i was 10

Come to think of it, I also saw Screaming Trees at the 9:30 club in 1992. And, I think, the Spin Doctors at University of Maryland in 1993. I mean, I had seen a few Fugazi shows by then - but I was still like "The Doctors are at Ritchie Coliseum, and I happen to have a pocket full of kryptonite. Let's do this thing." So weird.

Just listened to half of OK computer again before needing to wash my ears. This poll is a pretty terrible mismatch. But it got me thinking, who would be a good American opponent for Radiphead?

Is it possible, then, that there's simply a huge portion about what other people like about Future that you for some reason just don't get? Worth pondering, perhaps?

jed post in richard burton thread is fairly extraordinary

oooookay, so i spent a week reading/listening here and rather than boring you with impressions I'll just say thanks
several new tracks i didn't know, many GREAT songs and a good opportunity to reassess what I had listened to and discarded months ago
and now i have to start the albums thread.

Yes, they are crap names.

Were I a female hardcore DJ, I would call myself Hildegaard Von Bangin', and appear above stage shrouded in lights, wearing a strobing habit, an angel on each side, and allow myself to be slowly lowered to the decks by my angels to a soundtrack of Gregorian chant. Then I am delivered to the decks. My halo lights up. Then I slam straight into THE FUCKING MOVER and raise both fists to the heavens! THE CROWD GOES NUTS.

Or, or, I would call myself The Red Baron. The crowd would hear a strange sound, getting louder and louder. Searchlights, strobing the ceiling, would converge on a spot directly above stage. My WWI biplane would crash through the FUCKING ROOF, smash into the stage, and explode into flames. I'd get out, ON FIRE, and be extinguished under a strobe, to the soundtrack of an air raid siren. Then I'd stride to the decks in my airman's outfit, salute the crowd, and slam straight into THE FUCKING MOVER and raise both fists to the heavens! THE CROWD GOES NUTS.
