havent listened to be quite honest, i knew they went under the obscure column of shoegaze bands as opposed to MBV and ride tho
i might do a deep dive on the genre, i have quite a bit of vacation time coming up

if you've heard mbv you will go to your grave no poorer if you just stop there

do not listen to Ray Tabano, when it comes to shoegaze-type music he is totally insane

Ride is just as good as mbv

Moose are one of the reasons i found this board and here i still am around seven years and 10,000 posts later. they only started as a shoegaze band with their first three EP's (aka Sonny & Sam EP). by the time their first album ...XYZ come out they were completely different band. they actually got better by mellowing out with "Honey Bee" and Live A Little, Love A Lot both being outstanding albums.

Yeah ...XYZ is my favorite. One of my favorite records in the genre!

He's referring to this article, I believe: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/andrew-rinehart-you-cant-break-my-heart-pretty-people-make-graves-music-video-premiere

Will they look back with appreciation and say, "Thank God for that Ott guy in 2014 who headed off that loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our genre from selling out"?
And if we failed, they probably won't get to read the tweets at all because they spoke of indie rock, and they won't be allowed to talk of that or read of it.

i mean, the narrative that the pitchfork piece is putting out is basically "dude was an aspiring money-hungry L.A. session dude who failed, and now, two years later, wants to be indie rock I guess"
Like idgaf about this guy, but can you blame ott for not seeing this as the sympathetic story of rags-to-RSSches it's supposed to be, idk?

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 02:48 (nine years ago) link
i dunno, what kind of background does he need to be a real indie-rocker?

probably grad school

he would've tried to cover his tracks if he wanted to be a REAL INDIE ROCKER. the dude is putting himself out there. that doesn't warrant comments about his dead mom as sort of ponzi scheme for success

Ott's thinking is in keeping with the Gamergate "righteous troll" approach - any amount of misanthropy, bullying and general obnoxiousness is valid if you believe yourself a warrior for a noble cause.

had a bit of rum last night and dropped a tiny bit of sarcasm on him via twitter. he tried to zing me back by saying "nice fucking hair, food truck," then asserted I was one of his "disgruntled fan" twitter followers (I wasn't, oddly he followed me after I ripped him subtly on a previous occasion that could've only been read as a serious compliment if you're an idiot)
― just a couple of assholes having breakfast (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 12:56 (nine years ago) link
I honestly think he doesn't know or understand (or want to believe) that the people who are mocking him aren't doing so cause their brains are breaking due to his message, but because his message is naive bullshit expressed in a shitty hateful manner
