OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

well let me fire up my time machine and send that zing back to 2004 ilx where i'm sure it will elicit a sharp response

wait, what happened in 2004?

when whiney showed up here in mid-2005, he was so disgusted by the old posts he saw in the archives that he decided to stay for EIGHT YEARS and do something to make this a better place

is that the year that ilm singlehandedly made Xiu Xiu a household name?

it was the year that Annie came from Norway with a suitcase in her hand

CREEM magazine circa fall 1973 and summer 1974 but not winter '73 and maybe a bit of spring '74 (but definitely winter '75), I'M CALLING YOU OUT

odd numbered pages only tho

found a recent one by a guy named Jay Mohr. I'd never heard of him, but about 10 minutes into the podcast I did a search on him and I guess his name has a little bit of currency around here.

a very little currensy:

Yeah, I meant that he was familiar to ilxors, but not to me (although I guess I saw a couple of Last Comic Standings and Go, which I don't remember him from).

He was on SNL and played an asshole in a bunch of stuff
Other comics seem to hate him

wait, what happened in 2004?

It's ILM: The Book!

clicked on link, looked at date, lolled heartily

great book

its ilm: the magazine http://www.spin.com/about/

two whole people, great post

hahaha

doubleshit

that book is awesome. i'm in it. oh wait, conflated sense of self worth...eh, i'll take it. i kinda rule.

it's ilm: the galactic supercluster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_Supercluster

http://www.culturecritic.co.uk/blog/33-five-careers-that-were-shaped-by-liz-phairs-exile-in-guyville/

uh

comedic

that article has to be trollgaze, right?

Thicke's blasé, same as it ever was assertion that "I know you want it" and "we're gonna get nasty" is a reminder that the same words are a hell of a lot more compelling when they're coming from a girl's mouth.

Wait I thought this was about Liz Phair, not Britney

6. Daft Punk
7. Barack Obama
8. North West

we are all liz phair now

Released in 1993, Exile in Guyville is one of the best alt-rock records of the nineties (in our opinion), with a musical and, maybe more importantly, attitudinal influence apparent across lots of contemporary artists who’ve arguably eclipsed Phair in terms of popularity (Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, for example).

waht

i can't turn on my t.v. without seeing friggin' best coast's bethany cosentino.

you can tell this article is a troll because it doesn't mention avril

"attitudinal influence apparent across lots of contemporary artists"

r.i.p. riting...

she spends time in the Amanda Palmer blurb talking about how Steve Albini attacked Liz Phair for being a chore to listen to, using it as an example of the male hegemony closing its borders to a female voice, then turns around in the M.I.A. blurb and says that Liz Phair's music career was an afterthought, much like that of the one person of color on her list

also let's talk about Lana Del Rey's smash hit "Summertime Sadness" that I've never heard once in my life

the "why this album is better than Exile On Main St." would have been so much better

The word "attitudinal" always makes me think of Patrick Swayze's pedophile self help guru in Donnie Darko.

This being the 21st century, Dunham takes Phair's shock tactics one step further by not just talking about sex, but by doing it on camera.

loool

Forgot lil kim

LOL maybe you can't read. But he was praising her original work and calling the changed version gardbage. Lana's music should not be altered because her original works are the efforts of her talent. So, before you start calling people hypocrites, learn to read. The remix is garbage because the original is Lana. Got it? 

ok ok i got it, now put the knife down

http://sabotagetimes.com/music/v-festival-a-chav-paradise/

riff-raff!

There are some choice sentences in there

Imagine if there was a Channel Four juxtaposition of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and The Only Way Is Essex, only instead of being a TV show it was a music festival. Well, V Festival would basically be the Channel Five version of that.

Personally I blame the highstreet for making rock ‘n’ roll imagery so readily available that anyone with pocket money can wear the right threads with a faux swagger and pretend to like music. Encouraged by the over televised nature of the modern festival to then top off their look with a fashionable visit to a music festival. Because that’s basically what V festival is, a confused fashion parade for pricks. A music festival for people that don’t actually like music but still want to say that they’ve been to a music festival.

didn't twig until I skimmed the comments that that was a two-year-old article, even when he mentioned the set by king of hip-hop Eminem

choice britisher etc

tbh i like exile in guyville more than i like exile on main st.

that is a v big stamp, NV

^ I think that's an interesting article in a way because, like, guy seems angry that people are getting drunk, rowdy and expressive, making sexual displays (this is what 'they're too fashionable' means?). He thinks they ought to be well-mannered and behave according to some standard of decorum. That for him is the essence of the authentic (non-'high street') music festival.

I think he's probably more invested than he thinks in a reified, tasteful festival culture

http://blink.htcsense.com/Web/ArticleWeb.aspx?regionid=45&articleid=12583156

So nice of that AP reporter to let his 10 yer old review the festival for them.

Lol, I thought that was actually serious until I got to this: NIN closed the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt," which earned nonstop cheers from the crowd.

I just came here to post that, lol.

Just as I thought the paragraph couldnt get any worse they dropped that bomb
