"The Budweiser-sponsored Minor Threat reunion tour seemed like the ultimate betrayal, but in reality it was Ian Mackaye deftly playing with audience expectations only to explode them from the inside, just like he'd always done"

"Now that Method Man and Christina Aguilera-Man have settled into their stunning 300-acre ranch, nestled in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, Meth says he's finally found the peace of mind he's needed to make what turns out to be his grittiest record yet, a wake-up call from the streets of Shaolin."

"Judette's contribution to the 2012 MTV All-Stars tribute album (a smoldering torch-song treatment of Berk Sabathia's club smash 'Uptime for Ronson') has finally got the critics singing her praises -- and the kids can't get enough of it."

"We're not going to fuck around with trying to get on major labels & getting our picture in magazines & such shit" explains stocky, bearded ocarina player Duane Zarakov."Young people don't care about that crap any more. It's gonna be limited-run vinyl on tiny labels nobody ever heard of, pub gigs supporting groups we don't even like, & inaccessable discordant noise all the way for us!"

"It's hard to imagine Ol' Dirty Bastard showing up for lunch, let alone a Phil Collins tribute album, but ODB's twisted take on "Sussudio" ironically confirms the pure pop power of the original."

What? Oh.

"Carmody's 2001 debut album was hailed by Freaky Trigger's Tom Ewing as the best and most fascinating British popcult (re)inventory since Position Normal's debut."

one year passes...

A potentially great but perhaps over-demanding thread?

two years pass...

I have no idea what I was talking about up there.

"carmody's 2005 album is like his 2001 album. THE STROKES!!!!"

the above was the greatest burn ever you jerks

Wow, what a thread. Tracer Hand's world is so Alternative, though, that I have no idea what he's on about.

― the pinefox, Saturday, 1 October 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

And lay off the bearded ocarina players already.
