to RONG 2, thanks for everything, julie morbius

There is no point in trying this if you don't like the music. That said, I did make some regrettable purchases in the past for this reason, which is how I reached my current conclusion. (regrettable purchase: having to buy all that weed to make his Led Zeppelin tolerable)

rong on 2 levels:

1) buying 'all that weed' is never a regrettable purchase
2) weed does not make zeppelin 'tolerable' it makes them perfect

Max u r a treat.

The "luna is fake" thing is pretty irritating, considering it is baseless and kind of rude.

Last month, in the Times, the white folk rocker Devendra Banhart declared his admiration for R. Kelly’s new R. & B. album “Double Up.” Thirty years ago, Banhart might have attempted to imitate R. Kelly’s perverse and feather-light soul. Now he’s just a fan.

A few years ago, on his blog, the white folk rocker John Darnielle declared his admiration for R. Kelly’s new R. & B. single “Ignition.” Thirty years ago, Darnielle might have attempted to imitate R. Kelly’s perverse and feather-light soul. Now he’s just a fan.

thirty years ago devendra would have the same manager and r. kelly still wouldn't exist

when was the ironic cover invented?

when linda ronstadt covered "lotta love?"

I thought that was Nicolette Larson. Rondstandt did "Alison," though.

whoa i think you're right. i'm RONG.

when was the ironic cover invented?

Peter Sellers - A Hard Day's Night (#14, December 1965)

I bet there was some orchestra before then who played ironic Classical covers to show their disdain for Vivaldi or sump'n.

that sellers jam is awesome, ditto "She Loves You"

that's the second time that's been mentioned here. Maybe I haven't heard enough Japanther. I used to see them live when they started playing around NY and it never did much for me. I really don't have much interest in a lot of the bands working various post-no wave revival skronk/noise craziness, and I like No Age's balance between the utterly accessible and often beautiful ambient partts, and the also utterly accessible and totally catchy minimalist hardcore punk riffing.

Which part? Some parts are OTM.

*Maybe I haven't heard enough Japanther.
*No Age's balance between the utterly accessible and often beautiful ambient partts, and the also utterly accessible and totally catchy minimalist hardcore punk riffing.

dude you are really bringing the hate to NO AGE.

a man on a mission

is it a west coast thing, Chaki? I listen to No Age and the next day I'm singing all the words, I saw Japanther and the next day I'm like "did that guy use a telephone?"

Mayve Chaki's trying to fill us on on the fact that No Age don't really exist and have been taking listeners for a ride.

Maybe.

its just nice to be the first to say something bad about a band that sucks on ilx

i feel like im fighting the good fight

i admire your spirit, though.

he has moxie

although he is rong

about noage? really?

hmm i'm gonna have to check out this highly controversial band.

fine. go ahead and listen to the la japanther. psh.

heard 3 songs on myspace.

sound pretty good. sounds a lot more like indie rock than anyone seems to be admitting though. when everyone was saying hardcore craziness i was think like negative approach type shit or like does anyone remember wives from LA? they were awesome...

but yeah it's good, even if some of the rockin' parts remind me a lot more of the thermals than like black flag, but whatever.

Tabasco's goodness is not directly proportional to its popularity.

waht

as boutique and specialty pepper sauces have begun to supplant Tobasco in many homes and restaurants, the guys in Avery Island have basically said Fuck It and now Tobasco is just pepper spray, vinegar, salt, and Red no. 5.

I'd be inclined to disagree, but on the other hand, you can't ignore this type of thing:

Lamest viral video ever. A kinda cheesy but mostly unremarkable piece of generic teen pop that has a sort of shoddy video, although altogether not that much worse or more inane that a lot of other stuff that comes out.

Honestly, is the internet really that tired of Charlie Sheen that this somehow takes off? Even the Christian remake of that Cee Lo song was more interesting.

Never got into Sabbath. Just now a fucking incredible Black Sabbath song came on my shuffle thingy. I Googled the lyrics, turned out it was Electric Wizard.

Electric Wizard fucking destroy Sabbath. I don't give a fuck who came first, who inspired whom

Motown was better than Stax, which was just a bunch of down-home grunting. Stax fans always point to the 'integrated nature' of their label - i.e., trailer trash playing cartoon 'soulful' riffs, because they weren't good enough to be straight country. (Ask Rufus Thomas what he thought of Steve Cropper, who went on to be in the Blues Brothers, which is Stax's only legacy, unless Springsteen/Dave Marsh- rock counts. Wow.) And if Motown was a 'factory', makes for better music than a community-outreach project. How many Motown songs are remembered today versus how many Stax? I rest my case, and at least the crash brought Otis Redding relief from the bowel condition that caused him to howl in pain all the time. (What kind of dullard takes a song called "Try a Little Tenderness" and sings it like the drill sergeant in 'Full Metal Jacket'?)

s1ocki hasn't posted in a few years. i'm sure he's too busy living a full life, making things with other people to engage with your internet persona of recurring shitsmear.

that motown/stax quote is layer upon layer of complex RONG best left to alien nanohistorians to untangle

i miss dave q

smh responding to that quote as "RONG!!" is hugely missing the point

surely everybody knows and loves 20 Queen songs.

i think instead of "less commercial" you mean to say "shittier and not really similar sounding at all"

will give yowie a listen

the atcq "reunion" album was a q-tip solo record that just happened to heavily feature members of the group. it was okay, at best.

That's highly rong. That record was great.

is that in reference to "we got it from here"? if so, wildly incorrect.

Yeah that’s pure rongness right there.

And there's loads of Phiphe on that record. Not enough, for obvious and tragic reasons. But still, loads.
