there's no reason you should, which is why it's a good thing nobody is saying you have to listen to, enjoy or agree with misogynist rap
Of course, but my main point was that I find it kinda weird that, with people here who apparently enjoy some sexist rap tunes (and vote for them in polls), when asked about how they're able to enjoy that stuff, their favourite response seems to be, "but there's sexism in other genres too!". Well of course there is, of course blatant sexism in any kind of music should be questioned, but I don't see how this is justification for tolerating it in these particular tunes. And I'm not saying there can't sometimes be good enough reasons for tolerating it, but this kind of "the other kids are doing it too!" rhetoric is just dodging the question instead of addressing it honestly.

Faust Arp is probably my favourite track now, although it was Weird Fishes for ages

Kyuss pales in comparison to a lot of the bands listed here. Finding a groove, turning up to 11 then moving on to listen to rush Limbaugh or Sean hannity or whatever the fuck that idiot is into is not my idea of a great band.

PoliopolicePosted: 9 April 2015 03:13:07"Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones is pretty misogynistic.

Do you have eclectic taste in music?

old music vs new music was a tedious, played out discussion even for 2007 ilm, thank god it's been parlayed into a debate about formats

between that and the uncut list thread it has been pretty dire since the year-end critics shit ended
― marcos, Thursday, 7 January 2016 21:34 (eight years ago) link
Possibly I'm just grumpy
I'm not actually one of those people who dislikes ilm although I rarely post there but yeah it's been particularly groundhogdaysuicide.gif lately (don't forget the eclectic thread)
― German dictators and their loving coombes (wins), Thursday, 7 January 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
yes, the year-end critics thread was highly enlightening

If I had access to a time machine, I'd go back to 1994 all and play 'em something like, I dunno, the recent Bloc Party record or The 1975 or a recent Coldplay record and be all like: "This is what is going to happen to music", and the people of 1994 would be like "FUCK! FUCK! NO! We must do what we can to ensure this NEVER happens!"

I've heard half of those Norman Records list... some of them are really good and glad they're giving deserved attention to some ignored records but there's also some boring ones in there. At any rate these sort of 'non-zeigeist' lists are always better than the consensus ones. Yeah we all love Lemonade but I prefer finding out about records I might have overlooked instead of the ones we've talked about all year.

#2.Hand Over Fist - goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eEb0SC6R0M
#3.Luau - o.k.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcxxh1yewhM
the rest of the album is a dud for me.

(re: yank crime)
"It's Nice to Have a Friend" is the most interesting track, IMO. How would you describe that musical setting? It's evoking or imitating, what, a certain style of Chinese music?
