Why don't they talk about THE OLNEYVILLE SOUND SYSTEM or fucking MEN'S RECOVERY PROJECT?

the funniest part is when i mentioned a perfectly valid ft. thunder analogy here, i had to deal with all y'all's imperial shitstormer's BULL_O_SHIT!

ARGH!!!

Ian came around tho!!! O_o

haha, Ian and I opened for them.

I think that this boils down to: INDIE AND FORMER HARDCORE KIDS DON'T KNOW CRAP ABOUT MUSIC AND SHOULD DIE!

Hi!

― dean!dean!dean (deangulberry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

HELLA DOESN'T SOUND LIKE LIGHTNING BOLT MUCH.
LIGHTNING BOLT SOUNDS LIKE RUINS SORT OF.

― GET TO THA' (PRICE) CHOPPA!!!!!!!! ROFFLE!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Hella sounds more like Lightning Bolt than Franz Ferdinand does. So if FF is what you're listening to, then you have a much different musical context than some Providence crumbum.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

So is that all you had, Jon? That was kind of weak. I need more.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

What about Melt Banana for crissakes? Also, comparing bands to other bands = massive dud.

― GET TO THA' (PRICE) CHOPPA!!!!!!!! ROFFLE!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

"comparing bands to other bands = massive dud"

That's a big generalization.

― Tim Ellison, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

YEAH WHAT IF THEY SOUND EXACTLY LIKE LIGHTNING BOLT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT

(not that those other load bands do, necessarily)

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I WANT MORE BANDS THAT SOUND LIEK ASTOVEBOAT!@!@!@

― GET TO THA' (PRICE) CHOPPA!!!!!!!! ROFFLE!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Jon, have you ever read the Load Records website?

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

kids were talking about Melt Banana in my lit class today. i kept my mouth shut.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyways Jon, you should read the Load site again. They compare their bands to quite a few other bands, in some cases, even Lightning Bolt.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Jon, get off the Fork's dong and look @ other offending sites, would ya?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm totally behind the MRP pimping, tho.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Lightning Bolt sounds like Thee Hydrogen Terrors!!!@@! But not enough like them, obv!

THE DAN ST. JAQUES COLLECTION

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

What were they saying about Melt Banana? I talked about them in my lit class once. I said they were the best band in the world.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

not entirely sure, as i only caught snippets. about how grebt they are, and seeing them a year ago.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 01:10 (twenty-one years ago)

THE DAN ST. JAQUES COLLECTION

This would be a great box set.

Actually, I think you could do a cool CDR 80 of Dan St. Jacques!

― GET TO THA' (PRICE) CHOPPA!!!!!!!! ROFFLE!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 02:05 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, dan st. jaques, unsung hero of providence.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 05:43 (twenty-one years ago)

sometimes i hear indie kids talking about Melt Banana. they think they get it, but they don't. it's sad, really.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian, we should make a CDR80 thread for Dan.
