It reminds me of a graduation speech.

any mention of 9/11 automatically triggers my browser's "Back" button. (which of course means that posting this will nix any attempt to read this thread again.)

Fortunately, Barr recently moved to San Francisco, knowing he wasn’t wanted here. Unfortunately, Orthrelm’s associates Zs (modern-classical counterpoint rock. Zzzzzzzz indeed) and Coptic Light (“free rock” like free Iraq, anarchy no freedom at all) remain. Coptic Light’s drummer, Kevin Shea, is as notable for his novelty hats and sunglasses as guitarist Jon Fine is for his flowing locks, but couldn’t play a meaningful rock beat if he tried. He also hits the skins in Puttin’ on the Ritz, New York’s worst band.

wha-huh?

Now consider instead Pet Sounds, Exile on Main Street, London Calling, Born in the U.S.A., The Joshua Tree, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and OK Computer, and realize how far we’ve come, as people. Such works end distraction and discussion, and allow us to live in and through them. When New York–born guitar god Lenny Kravitz yowled, “You can’t even sing or play an instrument / So you just scream instead / You’re living for an image / So you got five hundred women in your bed / Rock and roll is dead,” he helped keep it, and us, alive just that one moment more.

I just threw up.

It cannot be gainsaid that rock history is a matter of masterpieces, which ennoble a trivial genre and humanize us as people. Where would rock be without them? The last thing we need are record collections filled with cheap provocations, adolescent jokes, refusals to communicate, coded propaganda: Twin Infinitives and Generic Flipper, 1/2 Gentlemen/Not Beasts and Chocolate Synthesizer, Harsh 70s Reality and Spiral Scratch, Sang Phat Editor and What Was Music?—some of the angrier attacks on rock’s values in its history, but so sloppy as totally to lack cogency. Such is extremism: hot-headed and self-defeating, but against which we must ever remain vigilant all the same.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

This is someone from WFMU right?

BRIAN TUHR-NEHR, YOU HAZ AAAALAUDA SPLAININ' TOO DOOOOO!

This has to be a joke. No one who knows that much about underground bands actively hates on them that much.

unless they're some kind of anti-extremism extremist.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

it's a gag

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

― Freddy NYC, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

Alex is not your performing monkey.
