Or worse still, when nobody gives a fuck. This forum at the official site of Sonic Youth clearly has no administrator.

Consider this a "Post Comething Completely Irrelevant" substitute post. Someone just posted this in a SY fangroup on Facebook. I thought it's too hilarious not to share. And by hilarious, I mean tragical. And by tragical, I mean hilarious.



I mean, where to even start here? Why does Steve look like John Lennon? When exactly was Thurston replaced by Steven Tyler? I wasn't aware of that footnote in the band's history. Why does Lee have a burly Dick Tracy jaw? And that's not even mentioning the textual level.

Thurston looks more Jon Bon Jovi than Steven Tyler to me

Never in a million lifetimes would I identify the guy on the left as Kurt Cobain. Whoever drew this travesty was/is asking to be bitch-slapped.

Is it Kurt? Or is it supposed to be Dave? Krist, maybe? Considering he seems to be about the height of Fake-Thurston (Furston?). Then again, superhero-jawed Lee doesn't seem to be that much shorter than Jon Bon Tyler Moore here too. Exactly no one in that panel looks the way they are supposed to. It's a magnificently horrendous trainwreck.

Anyway, someone speculated this might be a panel from one of the issues of "Rock N' Roll Comics" by Todd Loren. If so, he was a lot more than just bitch-slapped. Shit actually is tragic. He was a divisive character though, publishing unlicensed comics with the likenesses (or more unlikenesses) of musicians. He was sued from time to time. I can see why. Then again, as far as I can see, he didn't actually draw. There was quite a lineup of artists involved. Some of them even branching out into mainstream comics (Mostly Marvel and DC) later on. That's not saying much, considering even the big ones have their fair share of bad art days:

That Batman looks retarded (sorry not sorry) and the Cap seems to be some sort of man-pigeon mutant.

Substitute for the "Rave About..." thread. After months of waiting, unbridled rage at inconsiderate people in the public and, more recently, even anxiety-induced palpitations and panic attacks, I finally was able to lock in a date for my my first vax-shot. It may sound weird, but this has been somewhat of a holy grail I've been pining for during most of this year.

Good for you, man! I need to get me some of that myself! But the torrent thread is hiding my posts again! It's getting in the way!

Quite frankly, the Jack Black Captain America action figure is more faithful to the Cap:

Me too! My first vaccination is in three weeks

Me too! My first vaccination is in three weeks

Oh fuck now even the schticky thread is broken ....

Weekly test, because I still care.

Lol, I've found a way to revive threads that no longer show the new posts:
Delete one of your older posts!!!!
Not sure if this works every time, but it did in this one and the Listening thread.
I assume the problem is that no new page is created if the last page is full.


This is the message I removed from this thread:

I assume that as well. But instead of deleting an old post (sacrilege!), my "solution" :rolleyes: was to carpet-bomb the thread with new posts until it woke the fuck up again. Since I don't half-ass things, I created a narrative and all: see the torrents thread. :D

Bombing the thread didn't work for me, see the Listening thread :D :rolleyes:

I read all kinds of "this is how we can do it" posts, but my attitude remains "fuck it! Where is the "admin"?"

Until this board gets fixed, I can't be bothered anymore.

Whoa....that didn't post twice!

Whoa....that didn't post twice!

But then the next post did. Fuck it anyway.

lmfao

There's supposed to be a "Technical Staff" at earthlink.net which apparently receives an email every time a post goes wrong. Several hundred emails and no action? Sounds like a Republican senator to me.

I guess there's also the possibility that the board is so messed up that Earthlink isn't receiving any notifications, in which case SYG is just driftwood in the matrix now...
