The new DC

well obviouslyi crap all over art. literally.

How do you equate my assertion that Destiny's Child = Cheese Whiz with me taking myself too seriously?

I'd wager it is *YOU* that are taking things too seriously if your feathers are so easily ruffled. Don't bother looking for any deep irony in the product of Destiny's Child. It is well beyond their one- dimensional ability. What you see on the surface is what you get. What you get = crap.

And yes, they should release "Apple Pie A La Mode" as a single.

Hmmmmm....so you're saying I *should* take Destiny's Child more seriously? And that by doing so I will achieve a more harmonious state of balance within myself? Ahhhh, I see it all so clearly now! If only I'd let the melifluous tones and subtle lyrical intricacies of, say, "Bootylicious" spiritually and intellectually influence me sooner, perhaps I'd have attained enlightenment at an earlier stage and evolved smoothly to the next level of human development. What a clod I was passing off "Survivor" as insipid and rote piffle, when it truly contains the keys to the heretofore imposing doors of self- actualization. It all makes sense now! I am reborn! I am hearing things with brand new ears!!! OH THANK YOU!

Yeah, right.

hence his accidental-done-a-purpose use of the dunedin codeword "cheezwizz": his subconscious is in league against him!!

And to top it off the songs aren't that catchy, and one of their voices is totally out of sync with Beyonce and whoever the other one that's in sync is. Only Bootyliscious did it for me really.

erm a. this isn't a mistake ronan b. it is unutterably brilliant brilliant brilliant = syncopation at the subatomic level

Isn't one of them doing a "rock and funk" album? Let me be the first to say SHUDDER.

In all honesty, I don't think Destiny's Child are really any worse than, say, R.Kelly or Jennifer Lopez or Mariah Carey or Dream or Usher or *ANY OF THAT RIDICULOUSLY VACCUOUS, LO-COM-DENOM-CATERING SHIT* But, they're not any *BETTER* than any of those pinheads either....which makes it hard for me to understand why people just seem to lose their shit over them like they're the reincarnation of the Supremes or something. What makes Destiny's Child any more significant than En Vogue or Sisters With Voices (and whatever happened to them?) were? Sure, Beyonce's pretty -- but so what? You can't hear that in their music.

I've also become fond of winding people up on ILM about DC, as so many people who post here just seem like they reside squarely in the Destiny's Child hallelujah choir, and I'm here to tell'em that *NOT EVERYBODY* likes that artless gristle they attempt to pass off as pop music. I don't really sit around all day jabbing myself with a fork, playing "Say My Name" just to punnish myself. I just find DC's music flimsy and disposable, and I can't understand why someone would trouble themselves with such bog-standard product instead of seeking out something better. But hey -- what do you expect? I'm a Killing Joke fan, after all. HONOR THE FIRE!

Incidentally -- and this speaks to the recent HIGH-STRUNG thread as well -- I don't think anyone's day should be ruined by something they see posted on a discussion board devoted to music. This isn't rocket science, it's just zealous music fans engaging in their favorite passtime. I suppose the impression that I'm high-strung could be blamed on my pretentious fondness for needlessly lambasting music that I don't consider worthy. But saying "Destiny's Child should be dropped from a great height onto jagged, pointy rocks" is just much more fulfilling and fun than saying "Destiny's Child sucks." Capice?

New pop I actually CAN stomach: the new Kylie single's fuckin' fabulous.

i like DC, but i would rather take to my clit with sandpaper than root beyonce. and i'm with mark - DC+, Supremes-.

My, what a lovely image. Thanks for sharing.
