Celebrity Skin (the song, not the album) is actually not to shabby. (Still hate Hole though)

i hate 'em.

theres one band as far as im concerned that gets that title...and its not the velvet underground (whom i do acknowledge as being largely influential on the music i listen to...as well as being a great band)..

but that title...it goes to the stooges. and the stooges alone at that. with all the "who started it london or new york" shit.....the pistols and the ramones BOTH covered stooges songs, not NY dolls songs, not television songs, not mc5 songs...stooges songs.

and the dead boys really were not all that great either...total stooges rip offs if there ever was such a thing. more interesting, yes, that yr typical stooges rip off (id listen to em over awesome color any day...sorry thrston)...but stillll.

The Dictators are anti-art and anti-pretension and fun as hell. Go Girl Crazy is one of my favorite fucking albums. Sure.. there's better music out there, but I'm sure handsome dick could beat the shit out of all of em.

^^^ Handsome Dick's a cool guy. got to chat with him for awhile at his bar in NYC.

on topic: The Lonely Island may be the greatest rap act of all time.

i start laughing whenever i hear that song.

The My Beautiful Son EP turned me into a Hole fan. I didn't want to like them, but I can't help what I like.

Bikini Kill is pretty lame. Same goes for most of the Kill Rock Stars roster.

viewtiful_alan · 06.29.2009, 04:37 PM

I love Hole. Period the end. Live Throught This is filled with really driving Nirvana style grunge, and none of the songs overstay their welcome.
Celebrity Skin is a great excercise in sad sack pop (you get the best of both worlds).
I'm assuming beyond that they suck though.

Seandi · 06.29.2009, 04:51 PM

The Black Lips ain't no big deal

Same here. And I think Drunkdriver is the best band out there right now too. We might be twins.

Bikini Kill were by and large garbage; Bratmobile were far better 'cause Allison Wolfe had a fucking sense of humor as well as defined feminist
sensibility. There is nothing worse than an educated person with no sense of humor (Kathleen Hanna).

this is actually how i feel about Sonic Youth.

i still throw on DDN or Nurse every once in a while and i still have great respect for them (and i still hang out on here), but, for the most part, i've moved on to other types of music.

that and i could never fucking stand any of the SYRs.

It's hard to believe Death Cab would be popular with indie kids considering how utterly bland they are.

Shifty Prophet · 06.29.2009, 08:56 PM

Yes, but bland rock has become the new sound of ''indie''.

automatic bzooty · 06.29.2009, 08:57 PM

sway, AGREED.

I don't know if you are kidding or not. But I wouldn't say I love them, but they're not an awful band. Live Through This is a pretty good album.

automatic bzooty · 06.29.2009, 10:49 PM

what little i've heard of hole is decent, but i'm very reluctant to listen to them because of courtney love.

Decayed Rhapsody · 06.29.2009, 10:50 PM

"riot grrrls think you can stop but you're forever in her debt"

Courtney's ode to Yoko Ono of sorts. Probably the best lyrics she's written: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0apE0AbKfhA

Shifty Prophet · 06.29.2009, 11:25 PM

swa(y) I like you. I like what you say and how you say it, so please don't get offended when I ask you to shut your fucking mouth about Courtney Love.
