what's the deal w/ rolling reissues thread? i understand ppl being into a particular reissue coming out in a genre they like. but why would anyone care enough about reissues in general to devote a whole thread to them? (sorry, i couldn't think of a better thread to ask this in)

The White Stripes. Sorry, but I just cannot for the life of me stand more than a few songs.
I feel like I should love this band based on my musical/listening tastes, but I find them so boring.
Yes, Jack White is a recording machine and super cool, but yeah, I don't get the overall hype of this band. Ever.

Nobody would want to read that because it would be intellegent. Heavens forbid that intellgence would get anywhere these days.

Music and it's culture is at all time low - thanks to Pop these days just being a factory line with no room for being creative. The marketing is more important than the songs. Dance keeps repeating itself and people who listen to it are twats anyway. Indie has become boring and stale, and needs a good firm kick up the arse if it is to be at least a little fresh and exciting again. (Ha!).

Differences between the CD they sent and mine:

1) Theirs is a shiny sleeve, with a booklet
2) mine is a matt sleeve, no booklet but Track listing on the sleeve and the label.

Apart from that, difficult to tell them apart.

(How can you tell it's not a cd-r btw?)

rolling enlightening music writing discussion:

I don't speak from experience, just as an outsider, but the music writing 'scene'/music journalism sounds so horrible.

It seems like you're constantly trying to get the approval of your higher-ups when these people base your ability on their personal taste. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

This is why I agree that it really shouldn't be about the technicalities of writing (grammar, punctuation, etc., except maybe diction) but about the ideas themselves. But really, there seems to be only a handful of music writers with semi-interesting ideas. What I mean is, not everybody is a [insert your favourite music critic here], whether it is people like Barney Hoskyns or Christgau.

But usually, the type of music writing that is done by and large is stuff anybody can do, and not genuinely interesting ideas or ideas that help understand popular culture/music, like McLuhan did, for example. Or maybe all the scholars and intellects are all in hiding!
