They release an album only slightly less-gooder than their last album (still one of the greatest double albums ever made) and all of a sudden everybody is just supposed to completely and totally ignore/hate OutKast now???

-- Mr. Snrub (mistersnru...)

Incubus?? Fucking INCUBUS?!?!? All I know about Incubus is they had that one hit "Drive" LIKE TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO!!!! And then all of a sudden they release the number one album in the country???? Zuh???

I like the implication that if wasn't discussed in the sandbox, well, it just didn't happen

the alex in sf/al one-two upthread kills me every time.

soooo...either
a)elaborate backstory for fake screen name or
b)he's not who sanskrit said he is

It looks like you're legally free to make a move anywhere except Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.
Good luck, Snrub.
Go get 'er, Snrub.

I think she's kind of a dog.

mr. snrub you are a motherfucking idiot. with every post you make i believe this more and more.

nobody fucking liked Arcade Fire in the first place!! Except for that idiot at Pitchfork of course. Sure, people may have "tried to get into it," but that was it. Same goes for Hercules and Love Affair and the Junior Boys.

from upthread:

The problem with the Internet is that it gives everyone the illusion that they have something interesting to contribute to the world, when in reality something like 99% of the people out there have absolutely nothing interesting to contribute to the world.

This schlub is a glorified copywriter masquerading as a tough, national security policy expert. He probably has a small you know what.

OK I'm only halfway through my first listen to "Ante Up" and already it's got to be one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard in my life.

I don't know where else to ask this but is that "l0u1s jagg3r" and if not is l0u1s jagg3r a real poster and what is he notorious for. I read ILX a lot but I feel like I'm being punked whenever I hear him referenced? I would ask on the main board but I don't want to cause a dust up. Thanks in advance

hi deems, it's quiet down here isn't it

I have faith, quietly. The leaves are turning in their own time.

Sparklecock's post will never not reduce me to tears of laughter.

there it is

What in God’s name do you people hear in this generic shitmusic? Just the blandest pop music I’ve heard in quite some time with high school poetry lyrics. Granted I’ve only heard the “You’re a… dreamcrusher” one and “Get Him Back”, but still. WORST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ARTIST EVER OF THE DECADE EVER.

has to be one of the last times anybody mentioned against me!'s "new wave" album

"transgender dysphoria blues" came out in jan 2014

laura jane grace was already out by oct 2013, though, right? was against me! that well-known a band in '13, or was "new wave" being on this list more of a "oh wow we should really give this stuff another listen" thing?

New Wave was Spin's #1 album of 2007, fwiw

good to know. i was kind of out of it for most of the '00s and didn't really know what was going on. took a gap(dy) decade.
