^lol

exactly. what's to hate? it just sounds like a musical album. made by a band. they made another album before this one that sounded like whatever, and now this one sounds like this. are people accusing this band of being reverse-sellouts or what is the problem?

a band had like two hits and then changed their sound a bit on the next album. is this offensive? unheard of?
maybe you people should listen to the black crowes instead of this indie rock stuff. you're obviously getting confused.

i haven't even opened that. I wonder what i would find if i did a cntl+F on "genuine"

u would find all instances of the word "genuine" iirc

'genuine' is not on that partic menu, but then not much rly is - ILX loves its McDonalds-style fast-food threads with high output and low nutritional value more and more it seems

shit is like a fukkin People magazine google-trawler headline. i didn't even click on the fuckin news stories about it at risk of embarrassing myself

xp You've been on this kick a bit, LJ.

I have, because there's more to discuss than the same utterly mundane shit over and over again

gaga mia roisin murphy riri madonna nenah cherry all dragged up there. robot chicken nicki minaj pissed off at lack of mention.

who made ilxfacepalm.jpg?

^^^ yeah, jeez, feel kind of guilty now all these heavy content dudes are bringing the critique

heh

1st-year lj was such a treat

I sense something wonderful is about to happen

Best modern music to convince a 50-yr old humanities professor that music does not currently suck

(xpost to sockpuppet watch thread)

I learnt my lesson tho! I won't engage on the topic directly in that thread.

Re MIA in general, I'm with deej. I don't like any of her music (I called her first record "Tom Tom Club with a tan" and I stand by that) and I think the hype and general lovefest atmosphere around her every half-assed, fumbling gesture is somewhere between annoying and infuriating.

I do not understand people who don't listen to music from the 80s.

As far as I'm concerned, music was INVENTED in the 80s (or mor specifially, with Joy Division). Anything before that is just proto-music.

listening clubs are actually one of the more reasonable uses of ilm imo

also xplain herman g. neuname

think he likes polls

yeah peeps on ilm actually having to stick to a couple of albums to focus on and talk about instead of pulling the obscurantist card and flopping their soundscan database egos on the table what a fuckin tragedy
