leonard cohen, MES, and neil young probably.

Actually I should prolly said Beefheart too. It's weird but I just started realizing the brilliance of Zevon and I'm hooked. I've literally consumed everything he ever recorded over these past few months.

Gibby Haynes
Chuck D
Morrissey

Lee (is lyricist the same as word-putter-together?)
Frank Black
Paul Westerberg

1. dude from placebo
2. dude from limp bizkit
3. magik markers chick
4. mars volta dude
5. jack off jill girl

my real top 5, doodz

fred durst is pretty damn genius.

I can no longer tell when peopel are being ironic


I think that means I have outgrown my welcome as a hipster

Most hipsters here in Tucson are on par with the idiocy of Frat dudes and sorority sluts (who at least are good at fucking). I wouldn't want to be associated with anybody who still thinks cut off denim is a nice look.

Robert Pollard, Jeff Mangum and Nick Drake

Beefheart
Ghostface

those are the definitely the top 2.
course right now i love joanna newsom. i go through periods of rly liking lou reed and bob dylan.

I said to a friend the other day, "Are they called Limp Bizkit because they give me a LIMP BIZKIT?"

That's not that funny.

hahaha

i started a band when i was 13 called limp dick zit, on mp3.com

ah, i miss mp3.com... CoRn, The WHore Gives Head, THe Inhibitors, THe Queeves.. all great bands.

Hahahaha.
