Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

400 words of anguished over-analysis is nothing to dog latin, bless him

One of many things stopping it is that the relevant thread is on ilm

well if you feel much more revulsion towards the cultural signifiers of black working class commodity fetishism than towards other kinds of commodity fetishism etc then you perhaaaaaps have questions to be asking of yourself.

That's a fair point. I know I'm gonna get in hot water for suggesting this post, but arguably gold chains etc aren't necessarily specific to black working class cultures any more and haven't been for quite a few decades. i don't like this song. i think lily allen's attempt at parody and cutting social commentary is weak, massively misguided and really rather insensitive, especially when put under the scrutiny of a line by line/shot by shot dissection. as a send-up of pop and consumerist culture it forgets a number of things and winds up as straight-up hypocrisy. but it also concerns me that people are willing to call her an out-and-out racist/sexist etc because of an ill-advised and poorly-executed attempt to take the piss out of pop / fashion as well as those who exploit it. disregarding allen's back-story (and her historical spat with azealia banks, which i only found out about yesterday and is completely indefensible), it's a massively ill-thought-out bit of work especially for a comeback single and i agree with a huge number of points made. but there's also an element of hysteria surrounding this, much of which involves analysing this video/song in microscopic detail and branding it outwardly and intentionally offensive. i would say that it's simply a failure. it fails on every level in what it's trying to do. it's a crap song for a start. the lyrics are sub-comedic and just plain dumb. the video might be taking the piss out of thicke, cyrus et al but only by replicating and exaggerating exactly what happened in those videos thus nullifying any social commentary it sets out to make. the whole thing is awful, but i believe it is trying to make a wider point. it's just a shame that that point is lost, almost entirely because of how badly executed it is and how easy it is for internet pundits to tear it to pieces and show it up for how unintentionally insensitive the results are. still, i don't believe it wasn't made with good intentions somehow, i just think they got lost along the way.

That wasnt me

in your opinion it wasn't you, maybe not in my opinion

Just like Eagles, this thread never dies!

I dont want the mods to get involved here and i dont know how this has happened but that wasnt me i swear

who is to say who ever 'introduces' the discourse? the discourse precedes us, it is there, latent and ethereal

whether the discourse is attributed to deems or to dog latin seems almost arbitrary

it's like deodorant and breathmints for assholism. preventative measures that are really just about having taken them as opposed to how effective they actually are

I'm not pointing them, out it's what I do because I don't know how to killfile you.

Thread back on course, gw deems

think i prefered when this guy was just boring instead of boring right up his own hole

He has many sides to him

i always hated arcade fire until i started posting here and began liking them out of spite

why would you not post that where it belongs.

"Oh, goodness. A comment about the Arcade Fire that contains snark about both the band and ILX. This will not do, oh no, this will not do."

Sorry, I wasn't going to post those at first, had second thoughts, and then realized I was already in the right place.

This really is a collection of particularly uninteresting records and Haim
