I can enjoy a lot of things! The new Ben Folds is pretty good. The new Venture Brothers was fuck*ng outstanding. So is "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret".

But something I can't deal with is when people play that "battle of who can care less". Trying to split the difference between apathy and effort so that you can feign whichever to whoever wants what.

Holy shit. Being sincere can be awesome and being satrical can totally be awesome too. But trying to conveniently hide behind "we're not really trying" when you fuck up...

I think it is what pisses me off about noise bands too. "If you like it, it is because we are awesome, if you don't like it, fuck you, you don't understand that we're not trying and that's the point!"

Fuck that. It... it is everything that is wrong with human culture, that goddamn attitude.

Fuck off.


I saw Sonic Youth today, it was pretty awful.  Maybe I was just spoiled by MBV and Dinosaur Jr., but have you ever heard noise rock that isn't very loud?  It is pretty boring.  You need that volume to suck you in, make it all encompassing.  They did like 5 minutes of pure feedback at the end and my ears didn't even hurt a little after the show.  Just, like, it sounded cool I guess, but was impossible to get into cause it was way to quiet.

I think that your problem is that you are confusing "not trying to do what LFM likes" with "not trying." You have mentioned before this idea that Sonic Youth "aren't trying." How can you possibly think this? They have been a band for something like 30 years, have put out tons of albums, toured every continent except Antactica. They are also, as far as I am concerned, really fuck*ng good at their instruments.

The best band name is clearly "Spaces Old Phoenician". There.

EDIT: Hang on maybe Times New Polanski is cleverer

Once again Miss Waterfield wins the game that no one knew they were playing.

I decided in a pathology tute this morning that I wanted to be in a band called 'Lady Sperm' but I've been a bit sleep deprived lately.

For the longest time I've wanted to make a thread called "Post fictional band names you think up here," one, for jokes, and two, to catalog the band names I think up and want to remember.  It was right after, for some reason, the name popped into my head, "Why Yes, I am The Viceroy."  Since then I've amassed this whole list of good to bad band names, the worst of which being "Miley Cyrus Nip Slips Dot Com."

Yeah, but then you'll just get sued like RivrFenix or whatever they used to be called before they had to change their name to FenixTX

My "next band name" for about 15 years now has been New Century Schoolbook.  Maybe one of these days I'll actually get a band together again and use that.

I have never read a sentence fragment in over thirty years of reading every single thing my gaze falls upon that is trying so hard to seem like it isn't trying.

Never? How did you keep track? How did you know you were going to need to?

my friends are theoretically in a band called Barbeque Masters. I was kind of playing with them for a while, but I think we need at least one person who knows how to write a song.

Also the drummer can't keep time, and not in a "fun" way.

There's a way that having a terrible drummer is fun?
