I started paying less attention to Ott when he started spouting unforgivable classist and queerphobic bullshit on another message board, and stopped paying attention entirely when he started going toe-to-toe with whoever and whatever on Twitter with the same ""rhetoric"". This was a while ago so my points of reference are cold. Has he changed or does he still get drunk and tilt-at-windmills and bully girls and queers online? But then I have no taste for "A+ trolls"

various xposts to brad - I've read almost all of this thread, and the offending interview/video, and gone through a handful of the older videos...are you seriously asking me to list those things like jfc come on
but ok sure: vaguely sexist/creepy statements about women who write about music, his bullshit truth to power aesthetic, obsession with a culture that doesn't exist and prob never did, numerous ad hominem attacks on people unrelated to their opinions, etc etc etc was this some sort of test? fucks sake.

feels like a huge bunch of the young male critic contingent from a few years back are/were really into this Critic-As-Pretend-Bully thing, like they're gonna paste you one if you betray some imagined cause. confidentially though I don't think any of these guys are really very good at fighting

it's one of the only things he loves and will be totally sincere about it. also The Cure. but anything else will be reduced to rich kid posturing accordingly

havent listened to be quite honest, i knew they went under the obscure column of shoegaze bands as opposed to MBV and ride tho
i might do a deep dive on the genre, i have quite a bit of vacation time coming up

do not listen to Ray Tabano, when it comes to shoegaze-type music he is totally insane

Moose are one of the reasons i found this board and here i still am around seven years and 10,000 posts later. they only started as a shoegaze band with their first three EP's (aka Sonny & Sam EP). by the time their first album ...XYZ come out they were completely different band. they actually got better by mellowing out with "Honey Bee" and Live A Little, Love A Lot both being outstanding albums.
