Cuz this is what Andrew Earles calls Mike Skinner in the new MAGNET.

It's a sign that discourse is dead, criticism is to be shot like dogs, the 21st century is the end of humanity and that the only logical response is to listen to the music you like without bothering with the printed word, ever.

how in the hell did they survive the late 90s?

The new MAGNET sucks. Phil Sheridan has truly outdone himself. (I mean, it's the same column he's always written, but it's gotten really absurd: Whatever happened to REAL music???)

Oh yeah, and Pete Yorn is on the cover.

It's in an article titled "Where's the Street Team," where Earles (who I like (or used to), by the way) lists a bunch of records that he thinks are overrated. The Streets are one, the Faint and the Rapture others.

Peter Yorn, eeeeeewwwwwwwwwww. As if "neo-wigger" wasn't bad enough.

magnet in two years behind the time shocker

Is it true that Bob Pollard writes all of Magnet under different names?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 12 June 2003 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I think of Yorn as ambulatory refuse from a wadded-up issue of Mojo used as TP, which makes sense. Earles sounds like he hates beats = death is the answer.

While the decline of the wig industry continued unabated through the twentieth century, the late-twentieth-century rise of the beauty and cosmetic industry revived it in new forms, including cosmetic treatments for male pattern baldness, women's hair weaves and extensions, high-tech costuming for the entertainment industry, and finely-made and increasingly naturalistic hairpieces for everyone from wig enthusiasts to thinning older women to those undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Mike Skinner, once a major player in 21-st century wigging, eventually went on to a career in music, but he still keeps tabs on his trade. "The technology changed everything," says Skinner. "There are a lot of people working very hard to make sure wigging can respond to those changes and come out stronger, with more to offer the customer, in the new millenium."

I thought this would have something to do with Keanu Reeves.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 12 June 2003 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! So he was probably the one who fitted Bob Pollard, eh?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 12 June 2003 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

*farts* That's my comment.

DAMMIT Horace completely stole the thunder from my joke, which would have been:

"Woah, BEEYOTCH!"

(In this case, stealing the thunder from that joke would have been slightly less difficult than getting wet in the ocean.)

You guys are such curmudgeons. This weekend I'm starting a band called the NEO Wiggers and next month we're releasing our debut EP "Logistical Beatdown." (and when people call us "the Neo-Wiggers" we will be uppity with them and shout "it's ENN EE OH WIGGERS, like SPEEDWAGON! ASSHOLE! ...God!")

Fuck All Y'all. I'm an oldskül wigga (tho my peepses call me Wiggro).

In lieu of "white kid that really likes All-Japan Pro Wrestling, Nissan Skylines and Cowboy Bebop" I desire to be called a "whip".

I saw Mike Skinner in Birmingham New Street train station today. My life is a never ending run of garage influenced minor celebrity meeting of peoples in train related environments at the moment.
