my 2 cents?

Best Music Writing and you know it

discovering that this was a satirical & not sincere post (by viewing all of missingNO's recent posts and drawing fairly evident conclusions) has irritated me. nobody validate this shit. delete this thread. ban me.

It's amazing that people are still responding to these missingNO posts as if they're earnest

Ha xp

LOL TROLLED U GUYS

FP'd the little shit

Lol

tbf it's only easy to identify them as joke posts if you factor in the content & style & the fact that they are obvious joke posts but don't worry you're not the only one to be taken in by the hoax of the century, I mean adapting part of one into a snarky dn is a whole other level of self-clowning seppuku

this is a nakhism surely

unless...where did he get it from

oh you mean LBI lol

Remember when ppl used to get things, rip franco

Not in Love (album version) is one of the best songs ever recorded. Didn't love their most recent release -- it felt familiar, gratuitous almost -- but this band is a classic band.

the fantano chorus is profound

As ever with the work of these peerless pros, the intense digital barrage masks a huge wealth of sonic detail and nuance both incidental and deliberate; occasionally the fire subsides and you can glimpse an endoskeleton of carefully moulded drone and near-techno pulsation. Mastered and cut at Berlin's Dubplates+Mastering, limited to 500 copies and housed in fancy-pants screenprinted and PVC-sleeved artwork, this is vital, vital stuff.

lol is this the burn lj thread now

deserved & accepted tbf

just an excerpt from some boomkat spiel dear boy
though one rather doubts whether missingno reads boomkat previews of rehberg/schmickler lps

Unfortunately, I was too late to get in on the Gremlins discussion a couple posts back, but I'd like to discuss Dante a little further. The man's had a huge influence on me. Being a big Chuck Jones fan myself, I love how he's taken that cartoonish style and applied it to live action. Not to mention the fact that it's just fuckin great how he constantly bites the hand that feeds him. I admit, I'm not much of an admirer of Gremlins, but it's almost completely worth it just for the fact that it's such a blatant riff on the cuddly, sentimental style of producer Spielberg, who actually went to great lengths to defend Dante's vision. And though the first one isn't my favorite Dante movie, I won't hesitate in calling the sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, one of my favorite movies of the 90's. It's an essentially plotless excercise in comedic invention; it's as freewheeling and self-concious as anything Godard did in his early days. Dante finally really nailed the Jones style with this one, while simultaneously manages to satirize the original film. Plus, the very concept of dropping those little Gremlins in the middle of corporate America and letting them run rampant is a stroke of satiric genius.

It's also nice to see that Dante's still got his touch. I think his most recent film, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, is one of his very best. Not just Dante's most explicit tribute to Chuck Jones, it's a film that confirms Dante as the quintessential anti-celebrity. Plus, the very idea of a major corporation turning consumers into monkeys to build their products, then turning them back into humans to purchase said products has a lot to say about the marketing strategies of today's uberbrands.

In short, Dante is the man.

Swash Dogs and Diet Coke Heads: the 2008 rolling Guardian zing thread

She struck me as being like some kind of posh girl version of Arab Strap except without all the alcoholism, self-loathing and masturbation. Which is a bit like a 99 ice cream without the cone, flake and ice cream.

And his "In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" axiom keeps getting more and more true as time goes on. Youtube confessionals, reality TV, blogging, etc. There are behaviors and art actions prototyped in the Factory that are now standard daily operating procedure for anybody with a cell phone.
