my fairly recently launched search for the perfect 2br co-op in jackson heights is already feeling dead in the water--not because stuff is getting snapped up overnight anymore but because i'm afraid interest rates will be sky-high before sellers figure shit out and stop expecting people to offer 120% of asking off the rip.― adam, Wednesday, 15 June 2022 22:49 (one week ago) bookmarkflaglink

I mean it's so cool to go find ppls posts from an unrelated thread and drag them into the present thread for the sake of weak zings.
You were a joke when you started posting and you're a joke now.
i have a theory that kruangbin are as huge as they are (devervedly so imho—no lj) in part due to the youtube algorithm. one of those bands that would pop up in my youtube sidebar constantly years before i ever listened to them

I found them from the Tiny Desk Concerts - which I clicked on because YouTube wanted me to listen to Superorganism:

If you type "*band drawn from Ilxor subconsious*" into Dall-e Mini you get Superorganism. They're a smudged, nightmarish evocation of Ilxor's subconscious. Hip, but too hip. Quirky, but too quirky. Young, but too young. They are the band that would appear if you gave an alien sculptor a description of Stereolab.
Khruangbin's Tiny Desk Concert has eleven million views, which is something. They sound like the kind of music the Youtube sidebar features - dusty 1970s psych-folk-rock crate finds. Watching the concert again again I'm nostalgia for the days of "the cat album", the "man running along a road" album, the "jazz pianist who started in his thirties" album, the "naked woman sitting on a big stuffed alpaca" album, Music for Nine Post Cards, "Plastic Love" etc.

I find it weird that this band would draw heat. They are cool and stylish and have a fun sound. They're nice to listen to and a bit limited in range. They don't seem extremely consequential to me, and they don't seem like they are treated as some kind of music-changing force by anyone.
