Smashing Pumpkins if only Corgan hadn't lost all his hair.

It's a good thing my attraction to you is entirely animal and shallow.

And, it's easy to hate Malkmus - he's an 'indie' poster boy, wore Peel as a badge, and gives thirty-some soccer moms lewdly rebellious daydreams. I hold his hair personally responsible for the "indie fringe," he should have offed himself after Slanted & Enchanted, and he has horribly unfortunate crow's feet.

That being said, the music is catchy, and his ass looks good in jeans. That suffices for me.

yes.

long live the buttholes.

and pavement's EARLY lyrics were amazing.. after slanted, they were hit or miss. but who cares? they're not as terrible as, like, placebo lyrics or smashing punkings or something..

I put it down to the fact that I find both Malkmus and his lyrics insincere, at the very least. And I can spot a real eccentric wordsmith just like that, on the spot.

Pavement. They're like Aztec Camera. On acid.

I hope you're not serious because that's one utterly stupid reason.

I like his lyrics, they're off the wall and random, but they make me smile. Why does music need to be serious?

matt74m · 06.23.2007, 02:37 PM

I'd like U2 more if Bono shot himself.

Torn Curtain · 06.23.2007, 02:54 PM

I'd like The Sea and Cake more if their music was darker.

I'm not a Pavement fan but that song is awesome.

I'd like the polyphonic spree if a small snippet of one of their songs wasn't used in Sainsbury's advertisements to accompany some smug recipe tips spouting like unstoppable vomit out of Jamie Oliver's mouth.

Mr. Bungle if they weren't entirely like being surrounded by 12-year-olds from "special" classes.

hmm.. wow, i'm not sure if you know what a "special" class is, considering mr. bungle is easily one of the most talented, inventive, and innovative bands EVER. not in the past 10 years, but EVER. i get the gist of what you're saying, i'm just blown away by your statement...

california has no joking whatsoever on it, and disco volante has very little. i guess the self-titled album has songs about farts and butts and sex and john travolta so if that's all you've heard, then yeah.. but seriously man.

actually, just listen to secret chiefs 3 if patton annoys you. they're just as good (maybe better.)...

Can I use that for my motto?

If only the Stooges hadn't blotted their copybook by releasing "The Weirdness".

I'd like the Magick Markers more if they took a few guitar lessons and quit writing the most random bullshit ever to be called music.

same.

atsonicpark · 06.24.2007, 10:01 AM

i don't care so much if they take guitar lessons, but they ARE boring and horrible. horrible. i mean, they're probably the worst band ever (maybe only beaten by the mars volta). it's just shit. it's artless stupid worthless shit. there is NOTHING in their music AT ALL that is good in ANY way. damn, i actually think i can't even say that about the mars volta (at least they have an OKAY riff out of every 500 on every song..).. i'm all for noise, "no wave" (which magik markers try to be), not-knowing-how-to-play, whatever, but goddamn.. magick markers are just SHIT. i've been trying to tell people this for a few years now.. god damn i hate them. i like the IDEA of them, but as a band, they're just completely fucknig SHIT. can't believe they put out shit through ecstatic peace. god damn. fucking horrible.
