I am never buying one of their albums but at the end of the day there is absolutely nothing wrong with Train.

YOUR TURN

Wait, not a single thing?

Anyway:

Some random unknown group or musician will release a debut that beats the pants off any and every talking-point release that gets a 1000+ post thread here.

chillwave will become the new emo, complete with legions of middle school fanatics and top 40 crossover.

this isn't a challop, this is cast-iron certainty

Music is dead. Mens business suits are the new music.

Songs that aren't really long and possessing of numerous sections with lots of sophisticated compositional changes can be good.

The new Lady Gaga album will have at least one song that sounds exactly like Front 242. Everyone will love it but shockingly, this won't lead to a critical reappraisal of Front 242's music.

think we're confusing this with the "What will happen in 2011" thread

Cut for cut, The E.N.D. is stonger than both The Fame Monster and Fearless

also cast-iron certainty: Ned and LJ will disagree vehemently on which musician or group, exactly, releases this record

idk Ned and I have a decent track-record on agreeing about music and also I don't think we've argued vehemently since my first week on ILX 4 years ago

Boo Radely and the Super Fury Aminal (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 January 2011 15:16 (fourteen years ago)

good times tho haha

Boo Radely and the Super Fury Aminal (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 January 2011 15:17 (fourteen years ago)

I don't think we've argued vehemently since

notice i said "disagree"-- not "argue" ;)

Ned plays it too cool to argue on ILX or anywhere these days, I take it

OK this is repostedfrom WFMU but I liked it:

Donald Miller - Borbetomagus -This coming October/Halloween season, you will be able to purchase in any of your local chain pharmacy or grocery stores, for $1.99 or less, one to five variations of a home studio, copyright-compromised “spooky sounds” CD that will beat the livin’ entrails outta 99% of the crap hailed as genius and/or made the the cover of “The Wire”, in this year 2011 ev.

listened to some Lounge Lizards for the first time after the John Lurie episode of WTF. The line between The Lounge Lizards and Dave Matthews Band is extremely thin.

haha hmm, i guess i'd have to cue up some lounge lizards to check, but that has never occurred to me.

tylerw, Monday, 11 April 2016 18:18 (nine years ago)

I guess my challop is that things like this:

https://youtu.be/0NdU11z1HXE

are not so different than this:

https://youtu.be/mhF3r9Z3CsU?t=2m10s

but it is a challop because Dave Matthews will eventually take a lead role in that music, and that won't sound as much like The Lounge Lizards

no muppet vocals in lounge lizards though iirc

reggie (qualmsley), Monday, 11 April 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)

that thin line of muppet vocals

dave matthews does kind of *look* like a lizard

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Thursday, 14 June 2018 15:51 (six years ago)

Ah yes, J. S. Bach as counterpoint to the Enlightenment. It makes perfect sense. Anyway, everybody knows Mozart is the most unjustifiably worshipped canonical composer.

Karen Dalton - do people really enjoy listening to her hackneyed Billie Holiday impression?

curious how you picked this thread to revive out of the 8,000 ILM threads about "POST YOUR INSANELY CHALLENGING MUSICAL OPINIONS" "WHAT ARTIST DO YOU THINK IS OVERRATED YOU CHEEKY BASTARD YOU" "YOUR SCALDINGLY HOTTEST MUSIC TAKE" etc

na (NA), Monday, 5 December 2022 17:23 (two years ago)

lol, IDK, I just searched "challops." Ain't nobody got time for that.

It’s up to you not to heed the challops.

Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed. Everything has to change so everything can stay the same.
