lol, u mad

its the kind of thing people will wince at later. like going through an old box and finding a 10,000 maniacs peace train cassingle.

Nah, I winced first, but now I <3 the new album.

When people talk shit about how hipsters are just groupthink followers who will accept anything no matter how obviously fucking terrible it is as long as it's approved by some consensus reality/tastemakers they are talking specifically about tune-yards. People should be ashamed to listen to this.

MFB SB

all your post is missing is a "sheeple" somewhere

Like I get the hate for this stuff, I used to have a kneejerk hatred for it too, but I always hate when people's reaction comes down to "YOU ONLY LIKE THIS TERRIBLE THING BECAUSE HIPSTERS DO". Uh, no. Try again, I'm sure you can come up with valid reasons to explain why you dislike her.

tbh on current evidence i doubt that

lol true

idk im p sure women's studies rock is like the best music that exists

i thought her first album was legit terrible but i only heard it after hearing clips of her doing songs off it live where it was way better even if she does that annoying thing with loop pedals i actually enjoy it when she does

i'm always amused when people pick ANYTHING and act like everyone is just totally fronting or missing the point entirely. you're welcome to dislike anything you like but it's just ludicrous for you to tell me how I don't really like it.

anyways, she's great live except for a kinda embarrassing stab at attempting hoomei at the beginning of the set but that was forgivable as "trying this shit out"

i was getting this label confused w the Art Yard label and i was all like hey these ppl have put out some sweet sun ra discs but as you were

i have no problem believing that people like tuneyards. people like all kinds of horrible stuff. there is no law against it. yet...

This crap has as many posts as the Rolling African Music thread. Fuck this industry.

rmde

really shocked that the most sensitive soul on ILX likes the tamest, lamest, crappiest music.

If you like her, you like her I am just saying every person I've met with one exception who is a big tune-yards enthusiastic is your typical trend-watching late to the game pitchfork type person who attends like ~6 concerts a year and illegally downloads all their music. I like a lot of shit music too, and I suppose I like to think it doesn't impugn my character but it probably does sort of.

I have seen her live and it was one of the most atrocious spectacles I've ever witnessed.

Also this:

She said the weird spelling was to increase her MySpace visibility.

The success of people like tun-yards makes me really cynical about the "current music scene" and I don't like to feel cynical about music.

dude, I'm pretty sure if you paid any attention to my ilm posts our music tastes would overlap a lot more than you think, but I don't want to screw up that little neat narrative running through your precious little head

also, lol @ the dude who blows up on the regular calling me "sensitive"

(xpost)

dude, I'm pretty sure if you paid any attention to my ilm posts

not gonna happen

well, fair enough, you don't pay attention to anyone else's whenever you explode into your tirades, so why should I be different?

y'all are pretty funny but okay whatever

I just hate to see the hipster puppies guy always so angry.

Also I don't care about her copping African rhythms or w/e that's a story as old as music itself it's just that the music she makes from all these elements is completely horrible. Some of the lyrical missives she throws down are unreal.

There is a freedom in violence that I don't understand
And like I've never felt before

MAKE SURE TO HIT MY MYSPACE Y'ALL

SMITH COLLEGE THEATER CLASS OF 200?

Come to think of bad college theater is exactly what I would describe her sound/live show as.

MAKE SURE TO HIT MY MYSPACE Y'ALL

SMITH COLLEGE THEATER CLASS OF 200?

These lyrics must come from a b-side.

tbf if she is actually throwing around letters then yes

xpost

I'm immune to blog-indie hype and love this album after hating the first.

haters hating the music = ok with me
haters hating the musician and projecting all kind of erroneous shit = stupid as fuck

music sucks

I hate her music, lyrics, face paint, college, live sow, how she spells her band name, her ugly face, and her album art. Fair enough?

yuck dude

what could you possibly find objectionable about that post

She has a female pig at her live shows? Cool.

Sorry for having a strong/visceral reaction against a musician on a music discussion place.

i know, right?

if you hate this album you hate women and pigs imo

Yeah feeling p. clowned by my sub-par showing in the tune-yards thread.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sorry for having a strong/visceral reaction against a musician on a music discussion place.

Your strong/visceral reaction wasn't the problem. It was the part where you specifically expressed your hatred for her "ugly face". This is never a good look dude.

if only jimi hendrix had been prettier

If you like her, you like her I am just saying every person I've met with one exception who is a big tune-yards enthusiastic is your typical trend-watching late to the game pitchfork type person who attends like ~6 concerts a year and illegally downloads all their music. I like a lot of shit music too, and I suppose I like to think it doesn't impugn my character but it probably does sort of.

do you meet very many people? it kinda sounds like you should make more friends.
