tbf i quite like that album but i don't think there was any wresting of abandon from effeminate black-and-dayglo pretenders
― mookieproof, Friday, 16 October 2015 20:42 (eight years ago) link
like this is fine! actually this reminds me a lot of something i forgot about old school "classic" pitchfork, is they would take a solid indie rock band like this band, or wrens, or tapes and tapes, which i guess were all fine and good but you could have found like 3 bands just as good in any decent sized college town and suddenly make them out to be this total genius next big thing

gotta be honest w/u this is p much how I felt about the 'Mats at the time w/r/t how ppl would be goin off and I'd be like "oh, ok, they get drunk and rock out, cool I guess??"

ums has repeatedly made us aware of his negative views about prince, and we’ve determined that it no longer makes sense to have any association with him or his posts moving forward. We wish him all the best.

never getting sick of classic Prince but when i was living in mpls it got pretty depressing having to listen to the Current try to get excited about a new Prince single that would inevitably be garbage.
― JoeStork, Friday, 16 October 2015 21:00 (eight years ago) link
wonder if anybody's ever been fired from the Current for failing to get sufficiently pumped about a mid-2000s Prince jam

The two untitled tracks, "90314" and "90320" are not just crazy- assed, rabid jazz tunes, but California zip codes, as well.

anyone know what he's up to now?
the fact that Ryan took a fanzine from "shit, cat" to a $15m paycheck -- aka probably the most money ANY human being has made w indie rock and would wager that includes anyone involved with the Sub Pop/Geffen deal -- should actually be an inspiring story that you can do anything if you follow your passion

xpost i didn't say he was. i was describing the scenario in which the million-dollar sale of a brand would be inspirational. david geffen selling his stake in asylum records for millions in the 70s was certainly impressive, but it's inspirational only if your goal is to build something and then sell it for a large amount of money.

it's possible that some people would be more inspired by, say, epitaph records continuing and thriving independently after its 90s success, than by Mammoth Records selling to Disney in 1997 after the success of the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
― da croupier, Saturday, 17 October 2015 20:55 (eight years ago) link
to be clear, i'm not saying it's wrong to sell your company for a lot of money. i'm merely explaining why that "big paycheck" in and of itself may not be be inspiring to all trying to follow their passion
