the prize for winning Best Bully of ILX is absolutely nothing ... maybe a mere reprieve from a ban due to enough people being intimidated

yes i drove past the Banchan korean chicken place yesterday ... sorry for soul coughing

my favorite drummer with the absolute worst technique? william goldsmith, sunny day real estate

Bad drummer technique is an absolute pet peeve of mine.

i feel like a good drummer with bad technique is impossible, what does that even mean, would love to hear any songs that work despite the bad drummer technique

like yeah phil rudd is no neil peart but why would you want that

great drummer technique imo but I know that's a minority opinion

The secular internet left appears to have a complicated relationship with law enforcement

I know it's considered hysterical scoldy killjoy shit to take issue with paedophiles and misogynists being celebrated so I'll keep it off the threads and just register my displeasure here

the left having a contradictory relationship with state power is shocking and unprecedented though

The video doesn’t show her playing. The long-standing assumption that they were unskilled is… questionable and a bit misogynistic tbh. If they were boys, it wouldn’t have been as widely assumed

And it is also complicated… there are many individual techniques that go into the general category, and drumming has changed/evolved over time (just talking within the jazz-rock genre centered in the US/Western Europe) … like matched grip, and the advent of the double-kick pedal, triggers, etc … what is privileged and what isn’t… like I have a friend who I will clown about bringing hi-hat to gigs because all he uses it as is a cymbal… but he has amazing moeller technique. Super impressive

There are others who have certain extended techniques down masterfully (bowing and scraping cymbals for example) … but ask them to do triple paradiddles like Zach Hill and they would not be able to

I love her drumming I wasn't trying to be ironic but their reputation precedes them mostly for the reason you said (feminist icon frank zappa etc) - the rest is way too technical for me but it sounds cool

i am glad we all like the Shaggs here <3

the first time i heard the Shaggs was in like 2001 when 'Who Are Parents' was playing in a record store. i thought it was a contemporary band, that they were playing out of time with each other on purpose, that it was really creative and sounded amazing. i bought their album on the spot.

just instantly i was like 'i gotta write a song where the drums are playing in a different groove and tempo from the rest of the instruments, that's such a great idea, i must rip it off'

i mean, if what you play is like, the musical equivalent of a burger and fries, and you are technically competent at it ... though not everyone thinks a burger and fries is the most amazing thing, but it's not like the metaphorical burger and fries aren't great examples of what they are. ... sometimes you want baklava or a Burmese tea leaf salad or pizza

or the Beatles

yeah, I'd say if Meg White is a burger and fries, then the Beatles could be ... akin to pizza. Huh. Maybe you should start a thread about that whiney?

I never want the Beatles.

I know nothing about drumming or playing instruments and what follows is yet another example of me opining online with an unearned sense of authority

But

No way is Meg White comparable to the Shaggs. The Shaggs were deliberately, weirdly incompetent and offbeat while Meg was just sort of “back to basics”

is there another thread/board/site ye could be doing this on

if ye have to do it at all

it's true meg white is no helen wiggin her drumming is much more boring

still the best thing that ever happened to jack though

The Meg vs. Jack

I read a positive review for a movie called “terrifier 2” and it sounded the stupidest shit ever. Is it?

comparing music and musicians to food is very key to ILX culture

I've heard Helen Wiggin's influence in the drumming of drummers both great (Kevin Shea) and terrible ([redacted])

Xp do people compare posters to food? Like who is a not quite ripe early summer peach? And who is a maggot ridden casu martzu cheese?

James Redd and the Blecchs would be a biryani cart special paired with a fine rare vintage cabernet.

Steve Gadd is a Rice Krispies treat

crisp, textural, yet also chewy, rich, always sweet, never cloying

^ gets it

I wrote a version of this offsite to sarahel but

The food metaphor for Meg White is Cool Haus ice cream sandwiches, which had a brick and mortar that I would go to. The ice cream wasn’t exactly great — which *would* seem like a huge issue with an ice cream sandwich. I mean, it’s called “ice cream sandwich” not “stuffed cookies”

But the cookies, the backbone of the sandwich, were phenomenal. When I’d go, I wouldn’t just order a cookie, I’d order the whole sandwich with the knowledge that the cookies would outshine the ice cream

CocoRosie? Coco...Rosie?

If Son Haus made ice cream cookies...

It's no Terrifier 1, that's for sure.
