A Thread for Hilarious RONG Things my Sociology of Pop Music Prof Says

this might be kind of....true in a way?

"The Stooges really revived punk rock after the Rolling Stones invented it in the 60s."

Eh. Assuming the Stones did invent punk rock (!), the statement implies that there was a moment in the 1960s when punk rock (!!) died and was thus ripe for revival. Nuggets and Pebbles dispel that theory. Besides the first Stooges album was released in 1969. In fact, they TELL you as much on their first record.

kjb think of the lolz... plz

It's false because there's no sampling in "The Message"!

Ah! I didn't see "re: "The Message." I thought she was talking about the band in general. Well, there's another one.

Kevin John Sabotage

kjb think of the lolz... plz

I am. Some of them ARE funny. But I doubt I'd find many of them funny sitting in a class I paid money for (and prolly a lot of $). And I'm sure that holds for most ILMers. I mean, look at how people got apoplexy when Xgau writes "back-in-the-day" as a noun (or whatever the hell the complaint was). Can you imagine the same folks sitting in an entire (presumably semester long) course where the prof talks about The Pretty Hate Machines? Cronenberg-esque head explosions all around.

i think you should get on the next bus to hoosten university and sort this out dude.

Dude looks like a lady.

1st ever blues song

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band really introduced, invented the concept of the album."

In The Wee Small Hours?

Hoos being in Sociology of Pop Music class explains a lot

i said "sort this out dude" not "sort out this dude."

kevin you must be fun at parties

T/S: Alex in NYC vs Sociology of Pop Music Prof

Do you ever correct her?

I did initially, then I stopped cause I didn't wanna be that guy. Now if something is especially egregious I'll mention it to her after class.

jokes on HOOS for majoring in soc

thanks be to lennon that i didn't.

Hoos you should just derail the class by asking ILM thread questions

"why does x people never want to y"

"minimal house: C or D"

professor, why is there no emancipation of mimi thread?!?!?!?!

"what was the best single by Steve Harley/Cockney Rebel? Also, is it more acceptable for musicians to take drugs, and how does that impact their creativity?"

"Dave Matthews Band: "

lololol @ all these

"minimal house: C or D"

this, plz

kevin you must be fun at parties

Parties are free, sweet cheeks. (Well, the ones I go to.) (Well, sometimes you gotta bring chips and whatnot.) So I'm a blast.

just stand up in the middle of class and blurt it out. make sure to say the abrv cee or dee

totes

lol

'"It's The End Of The World As We Know It" vs. "We Didn't Start The Fire": which is more annoying, and why?'

"Has there been a great american metal band since the golden age of death?"

i admire HOOS for this thread. target = funnies. target: achieved.

how anal/creative are you with itunes genre labeling?!

hypothesis: people who respond to other people on the internet by addressing them as "sweet cheeks" are 100% correlated with people who are never worth talking to ever

HARDMAN

Where's that thread, El Tomboto, er, sweet cheeks? xpost

Tombot 4-4-2

proof!!!

I can't get over the thread-starting NIN comment, which leaves synthpop/dance music out of the equation entirely

you mean it's not accurate??

Throbbing Gristle combined outlaw country and the civil rights movement to invent French New Wave cinema.

didn't SPIN magazine once run a cover story on Nick Cave that read THE LAST ROCK STAR.

I remember feeling sad because I didn't want him to be the last. But they called it.

Can we take bets here on WHO INVENTED EMO?

Evanescence

Warrant

Atmosphere

Roxy Music oh wait

Emo Phillips

I was thinking more like Carly Simon. This is higher ed from what I understand.

(This class should be on DVD. It's got a built-in audience.)

Your search - "sweet cheeks" site:ilxor.com - did not match any documents.

;_;

Maybe she was mixing up "The Message" and "White Lines," because "White Lines" did rip off liquid liquid without sampling them.
