yes

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:35 (twenty years ago)

yes, but i would make it my personal mission to change their mind.

I'm working on it

Could I love someone who asked an asinine question like this? Probably not.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Horace OTM.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago)

yeah geez we should talk more about comic books, that'd be "cool."

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago)

Hey!

knee-jerk is as knee-jerk does, Huck.

Jack Kirby vs Derek Bailey FITE!

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:46 (twenty years ago)

fite, shmite, whatever. It's old.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago)

God vs Sinners, SMITE!

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago)

Probably, given that I have never heard of this album.

― Sir Stewart Wallace (Enrique), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:48 (twenty years ago)

Do you read much about music?

"This album HASN'T restored my faith in indie rock, ho ho!"
-- Jon Williams, 2004

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:54 (twenty years ago)

I actually own it. (OMGWTF JW IN LIKING CRAPPY INDIE SHOCKA) But who the fuck likes this album THIS MUCH?!!? (Other than the cupcake eaters over at Pitchfork)

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:56 (twenty years ago)

I don't read pfork. This looks corny anyway.

― Sir Stewart Wallace (Enrique), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:58 (twenty years ago)

I like cupcakes.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 June 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago)

This is a big reason why I don't date indie geeks any more.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:01 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was because all the indie geeks are married. To JON WILLIAMS!
Zing!

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:02 (twenty years ago)

sub-Huckian, at best.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:03 (twenty years ago)

Give me a break. I spent the whole weekend writing jokes. Mainly about hair-loss. HAhaha.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:07 (twenty years ago)

IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN DATING SOMEONE WHO REALLY LIKED FRANZ FERDINAND

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago)

It would be better than jerking off alone to late night abdominizer infomercials.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:17 (twenty years ago)

Huck, man, winter's over, you gotta get out more.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:17 (twenty years ago)

Daisy Fuentes, Daisy Fuentes

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:18 (twenty years ago)

what about chuck norris?

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:19 (twenty years ago)

I worry about you too, bnw.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:20 (twenty years ago)

The worst thing about the Windsor Pilates infomercial is that sometimes I think of the queen.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:21 (twenty years ago)

More chicks like whiney indie then jon's noisey crap. I win.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:21 (twenty years ago)

now I KNOW you're delusional.

PS - GIRLZ LOVE OOIOO

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:23 (twenty years ago)

also kinda hard to meet fictional indie-lovin' chicks when you're holed up in your apartment checkin' out Christie Brinkley's abs, freak-a-zoid. At least 6 months out of the year Huck has the excuse of Saskatchewan winters...

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:23 (twenty years ago)

dude, i know dem indie chicks. don't make me bust out my friendster profile on you.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Taking Sides: Upstate NY vs. Saskatchewan

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:27 (twenty years ago)

xpost to bnw: in THE SAME CITY AS YOU? doubtful.

JON - MANHATTAN IS NOT UPSTATE NY BUT MAYBE YOU MEAN ROCHESTER.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:27 (twenty years ago)

No one in Britain gives a shit about Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the overloaded praise/revulsion is almost exclusively an American thing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:28 (twenty years ago)

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:29 (twenty years ago)

Matt DC OTM. I think it's a really good record, but that's all. I really like Fatboy's voice and way with a melody.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:30 (twenty years ago)

oh no!

hstencil is on good form here

― charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Super-hstencillian at best.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Don't encourage him.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago)

H - I cannot link the flock of cute indie girls I know in the NYC b/c I know u will steal them, you slut.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago)

This thread makes me really depressed and sad and hopeless in a way I really can't quite articulate.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:46 (twenty years ago)

don't take it to heart--it's only a J0n Wi11iams thread

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago)

the drumming on YHF is totally amazing!!!! maybe if simon reynolds devoted 2-3 sentences about it, the backlash would recede but whatevz.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago)

Glenn is a good drummer, yeah.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm really not sure what this thread is about. This girl REALLY LIKES WILCO though!

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:53 (twenty years ago)

That Loose Fur record that's just Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke and Glenn Kotche is really fucking awesome. I think I like that better than any Wilco album. And I love Wilco.

Glenn used to live here in Lexington, I saw him play with a band (it may have been birddog) and god he's really an amazing intuitive player.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 7 June 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I saw an ad in a record shop for an, uh, alt.country band that was written in a "you must know this much to have a chance of being in our band" stylee. It said "YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT: your idea of a great night out or the best album of the last decade????" I bombed the shop later

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 7 June 2004 15:10 (twenty years ago)

huck is on good form here

― charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 7 June 2004 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I have loved someone whose favorite album was Wide Open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks and I think that would somehow be more tolerable.

Also if anyone wanted to date my roommate I would feel compelled to inform them that were favorite album is Rock N Roll by Ryan Adams.

― Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago)

"her favorite"

― Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago)

It's a small price to pay for trucker hat buttsex.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Trucker Hat Buttsex is the name of a band somebody here has seen live on stage and I claim my ultimately empty million pounds

― TOMBOT, Monday, 7 June 2004 16:24 (twenty years ago)

I have to start a thread based on a conversation I had with her and her friends last night about music...

― Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:36 (twenty years ago)

how's the ole' couch?

― HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:39 (twenty years ago)

still in therapy!

― Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:39 (twenty years ago)

well, I hate myself, so I guess that answers the question

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:19 (twenty years ago)

will she rim you?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:21 (twenty years ago)

insert "well her taste is already shit" bad joke here

if that's so, then does she also like gg allin?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:23 (twenty years ago)

how's the ole' couch?

you mean, how's the young cooch?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:24 (twenty years ago)

maybe if simon reynolds devoted 2-3 sentences about it, the backlash would recede but whatevz.

Hahaha! You are funny.

Anyway, I love someone whose favorite record is probably something far worse than YHF. Love is awesome!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago)

I love all of you, by the way.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:27 (twenty years ago)

but me a little more?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:30 (twenty years ago)

please say yes

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 03:30 (twenty years ago)

gygax sadly OTM. Really fuckin' sad state of affairs in a certain segment of critdom. Disgusting.

that Loose Fur record was pretty darn good, nickalicious OTM.
