oh to be young and annoying again.

Album pics not showing on metal poll results

every glenn mcdonald post should be followed up with the question, "so how does the music sound?"

what are you supposed to do with this information??

ur mind is supposed to chew on it like day-old beef jerky

"I love me some Can (notably Monster Movie), but they don't hold a Teutonic candle to the `Werk."

dead wrong as usual, my friend.

dead wrong

as usual

my friend

"the 'werk'"

does he say it like 'the work' or 'the verk'

that pazz n jop thread is being super-enlightening this evening

hey rox, picked up an opeth cd and a burzum cd tonight *thumbs up*

so u used just your fingers?

which burzum btw

daudi baldrs

<3!!!!!

now THAT is some enlightening music discussion

See, these were the kinds of words of warning I might have hoped for. If Last.fm can scrobble You Tube, so what? Just because heroin is supposed to make me feel good, does that mean I should do it? I think not!

words of wisdom.

I'd be a lot more o_O at the oddball metal stats if I wasn't currently organizing the same noise with that 'best games of the year' stuff.
looking into the abyss here

Still "OK Computer".

Friday dilemma: Review of ILM Top 10 vs. Creedence Friday.

Indie-Friendly Electrodribble S/D

^^can somebody pls bomb this thread

"Let's build a strawman".

eh that thread isnt a terrible idea and some ppl are suggesting bands that 'fit' but it mostly just seems to be people listing 'indie friendly dance acts' which is... dumb

Even if you think Max Tundra is the shittest thing ever trying to use him as the starting point for a vague ill-defined genre really *is* a terrible idea

it's fun.

speaking as someone who has had fun before, no, its not.

i'll keep that in mind next time.

ya that thread is like dumping on "indie" 101 i mean who fucking cares anymore about classifying something as indie and then criticizing it for being indie... total insecure douchebag behavior imo

^^^

it's actually got worse, somehow.

"Frustrating"

I only went in that thread for 30 seconds. Wouldn't 80% of the things mentioned in that thread fit into the frankenstein dance thread too?

pretty sure they'd fit the 'human after all thread' tbh.

im not reading that thread but if its based around max tundra then it has nothing to do w/ frankendance

slightly off topic, would i be correct in saying the first yearly poll for ILM was 2002 and there were no organized ilm polls for 2000 and 2001 or indeed 2003?

before a decade poll early next year, these need organizing first

i love how dj martian is endlessly fascinated by rate your music rankings—i just saw him musing on how they now seem to be influenced by pitchfork—im like, isn't this just a music website where a couple thousand people list the music they like? it's not like some sort of zeitgeisty super-poll or anything... i mean outside of him who has even heard of it?

a few other ass burgers

before a decade poll early next year, these need organizing first

jesus christ...

'90-'94 probably my least favorite half-decade for music since the early '20s or something; basically, I like Spanish-language rock music from then and not a whole lot else. Things seem to pick back up around '95 for me, though. So, second half, easy.

Actually, though, that's in terms of albums; it's possible I could be convinced that the early '90s were better for singles. (Which means my '20s etc. comparison makes no sense, since it's not like I listen to many albums from before the '60s. But the early '90s mostly bored me regardless.)
