  1. I'm so glad this thread is old as **** and eor doesn't post anymore. Dude seems like a serious douchebag. Who the hell talks to people that way?
  2. My cat stays outside during most of the day time so he always sits next to me when I smoke. Not in a fiendish way, though.
  3. Have you ever listened to Bacchanale? Absolutely wonderful piece of music by John Cage. And it is 4'33" Also listened to Paris off of "Piano and Voices" by John Cage and Meredith Monk. Absolutely beautiful classical composition. Word. I knew what I said wasn't right but I didn't feel like sourcing it. I've never really listened to anything of his but I was completely turned off after I read the story about 4'33''. He seems cool though. I don't want to support him though because of the controversy he, knowingly and willingly, created over that stupid piece of nothing. I doubt he really cared whether or not it was really music or not but only wanted to see people's reaction. Whatever he did, he did it right and for that I hate him. It was made so that people could call water dripping every 5.27 seconds and then having nothing but silence for another hour to be music. I'm ranting and I doubt I'm making sense. I'll stop here.
  4. John Cage is awesome. And I do wish Slint would have played near me when they got back together. I'll always respect Nirvana as the band that is partially responsible for me knowing about all the music I now love. But I'd never rub a Cobaininite the wrong way, because when I was a long haired ripped flannel shirt over a stained t-shirt wearing teenager I was just like them and wanted a DS-1, a Jaguar, and a Marshall stack. And anyways Nirvana was a good band, even though they aren't as great as I once thought. We're the same. Minus thinking John Cage is awesome. Dude's an asshole. 3:14 is not music no matter what anyone says. It's art, sure, but it's not {censored}ing music. Slint playing NA again would be awesome, fo sho. I'd be down to going to every show within 2 hours of here. I still want a Jaguar though.. :embarrassed: Nirvana is responsible for the music I listen to currently in 2 ways... One, I read Kurt's influences and checked them out and loved them and two, I was a troll on that Nirvana forum. They turned me onto good music as well as pissing me off at the same time.
  5. I'd have to disagree with you there about Joy Division being {censored}e. I agree that they are over hyped because of the whole "suicidal singer in a gloomy sounding band kills himself" type deal (AKA the Kurt Cobain factor.) Also the movie Closer looks like a POS. Instrumentally they are very appealing to me. Peter Hook is probably one of my favorite bassists. Ian Curtis's vocal deliver was very often detached sounding, which you don't get too much in music. The drumming and the guitar parts were also superb. What struck me more about their music was their sense of texture rather than their sense of darkness. The first Joy Division song I've ever heard was Digital, and I've always loved that song and I feel that it is a very happy song. Yeah, I dunno, Joy Division is definitely the ultimate hipster band but I dig them a lot. I pretty much find the hipster culture to be as funny as the scenesters but it's not like Joy Division is for tools and posers or anything.
  6. DIFFERING OPINIONS GASP Yeah, see, that's the problem with YOU though. You're the one who's getting all butthurt over someone saying that they disagree with an opinion. In my case, I just say that it flat out sucks. Does that mean I'm right? {censored} no. You can call me a dumbass and we'll have an argument. It'll consist of condescending remarks and tons of copping out. If you came into a thread about Nirvana and said they blew nuts and Nevermind was an incredibly overrated album I wouldn't get all pissy, I'd call you a retard and continue to pick apart your own musical taste to prove to myself as to why your opinion doesn't matter. That's musical elitism 101. The old Nirvana forum I used to go to was the biggest hive of musical elitists on the face of the Earth, believe it or not. It doesn't sound plausible but the elitists don't talk about Nirvana, they talk about how Steve Reich and John Cage are awesome and how they wish Slint would come to North America or, if they wandered into the Nirvana portion of the site, they'd tell all the Nirvana noobs and kurdt-kids how they'll hate Nirvana in a year and realize how retarded they were. It only happens to about 5% of them. I don't know whether or not it was a good thing that it happened to me. I don't go there anymore. That place sucks. A member on here goes there I think. Poppin' Fresh is his name on there and it's in the user's sig on here. I dunno the user though.
  7. ooohhh a thread about music elitists. nice. I used to be totally into arguing that kinda {censored} but then I got bored with huge ass posts. Bottom line is that Pitchfork kinda blows nuts. Kinda became what it started out to go against. I never read one good Pitchfork review. They gave John Frusciante's "Smile from the streets you hold" an F. HA@!!
