i should qualify that with "in my opinion" i suppose

Indifferent Clox 08-10-2009 03:23 AM

Yeah, because in the opinion of a bunch of music writesrs, they are teh shit.

I can see how a lot of people don't like them, but I think it's rewarding experience that just takes an assload of time and or Pot to get used to. It's background music.

ron the dial 08-10-2009 03:25 AM

music writers mean jack, though. they only provide me wiht a means of discovering music. don't care what they think about it.

and as a consistent smoker getting high makes sunn o almost unbearable. can't imagine just zoning out to that. would kill my high.

Indifferent Clox 08-10-2009 03:29 AM

I dunno. This is where we differ I suppose. We like mostly the same bands though.

ron the dial 08-10-2009 03:30 AM

yeah i'm not arguing that i dont' agree to a certain extent. i just think that some people wont' ever like it and you think that they will. no big deal really. i don't care that much one way or the other. despite the amount of words i've spent talking about it now.

Indifferent Clox 08-10-2009 03:45 AM

LOL yeah, I agree that some people won't ever like any music that isn't over 20 years old, or metal or whatever. But i think some people will always be republicans and racists and stupid as well. I'm just more a of an optimist that hoppefully at least some people will come ot their god damn senses and give INDIE A CHANCE!!!

Just a shortened version of whatever you guys are talking about :y:

Downunder 08-10-2009 07:25 AM

I like The Flaming Lips


Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Indifferent Clox 08-10-2009 07:30 AM

:) I could find you some indie you'd like then.

Thank you for giving the song a chance, that's all i wanted.

Downunder 08-10-2009 07:38 AM

Just for the record Clox, I don't have a "type" of music.

I don't want to listen to "indie" just because it is "indie", if I hear something and I like it I will listen to it, reguardless of the genre.

Cos music is subjective?

Downunder 08-10-2009 08:20 AM

You are starting to sound like a broken record Fabian...

Fabien Barthez 08-10-2009 08:27 AM

Which makes you the sort of elitest tool I have spent so long not being.

Clox this is, not KK.

Ironically, Clox kept calling me an elitist. It's not that I lack diversity in music that bothers him, it's that I don't like exactly what he likes.

But he's NOT AN ELITIST LOL

you know what I'm saying?

So the term is more or less meaningless. Indie's just a bullshit tack-on that you can apply to anything not top forty and quite a bit that is.

Speaking of which, there's very little in that song that really counts as "non-mainstream." I mean, I suppose you can call the shitty way the vocalist sings "artistic," but that's kind of...Dumb. If you polished it slightly, and replaced the vocals with something that wasn't "shite for the sake of shite," that would be like any non-mainstream mainstream track that's been in heavy rotation in the last five years.

Also, in Nunder's defense, there's little later in the song that merits listening beyond a minute or so.

On the other hand, I love KEXP's "music that matters" Podcast. Not every song is a winner, but they have a shitload of good music on there.

Yeah. Australa also brought us Wolfmother. I'm pretty sure we can call their taste "ass."

Right Nunder? ;)

Indifferent Clox 08-11-2009 09:57 PM

tbh i listened to shit back when i said that about you. I don't have the same feelings any more, I didn't really know what I was talking about. I was young and dumb.

That was udner a year ago. You're still the same pretentious cocksucker as before, bitching at people because they don't like exactly what you like.

El Capitano Gatisto 08-12-2009 03:34 PM

Indifferent Clox, why don't you just post a link to www.pitchforkmedia.com and tell everyone your favourite album is whatever they have given a good write up.

Indifferent Clox 08-12-2009 11:09 PM

That was well over a year ago you dumbass. It was before i went to bonnaroo last year for usre, and pretty sure it was well before that. If you ever got outside to see the days change you might get a better concept of the passing of time.
