I have never been able to listen to a Byrds' album in its entirety. "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" in particular is totally boring. I've never understood it's "masterpiece" status - it sounds identical to any number of country albums from the same period.

I've never gotten what's quite so special about "When Doves Cry". It's a good song and all, but it's never struck me as mindblowingly brilliant or anything.

I would probably vote indie, a lot because of the fans, but it's been stuck together with alternative, of which there is a lot that I like. That being said, I've pretty much come to the conclusion at this point that there is good stuff in every genre, and it's unfair to dismiss things out of hand, but honestly (and I realize this isn't going to be a popular opinion), I wouldn't be sad at all if I never heard a hip-hop song again.

But I agree w/ him.

Laurel, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 22:27 (sixteen years ago) link

he is probably correct that his opinion will not be popular. he is also probably correct that he wouldn't be sad at all.

Where did this Jeff Treppel guy come from, because he's impact player this month.

Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 22:45 (sixteen years ago) link

He's been on the Rolling Metal thread since late 06 I think.

i can't believe there are ppl that hate croutons and bacon. monsters.

M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 11 January 2008 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

i kind of agree with morbius. the only music things i will spend money on are friends' things or gear for myself.

bell_labs, Friday, 11 January 2008 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link

the only thing i spend money on anymore is music-related.

nukes are not the answer. insanely costly, impossible to clean up, incredibly dangerous. saying its "better" than greenhouse gas emitting technologies is like saying getting shot in the head is better than being decapitated.

i hate this dude

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link

music, rent, & beer = seriously about 75% of my income.

chicago kevin, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Pretty close to that for me

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't spend that much money on music anymore. i spend waaay more on food.

I had a decent 18-to-20-year fling with music fandom. It was fun.

Spending is all about vacations and the approaching terror of old age now.

How the NYU Retirement Plan Works
• NYU contributes 10% of your base annual salary.
• You must contribute a minimum of 5% of your base annual salary.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

so they match double but i put in ANOTHER 5%
so I'm putting in 10% and getting 20% effectively

my job only contributes 6% and that's after 2 years there!

bell_labs, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Also, "free" grad school hopefully.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link

free grad school is awesome
thanks for reminding me I need to call a general dynamics recuiter back about my latest offer

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Sapat = Krautrock + Blonde Redhead + free jazz + Royal Trux

3 outta four ain't bad! And the song that reminds me of Blonde Redhead is actually one of the best songs on the album. Tom L needs to be signing more bands like this and less like Psychedelic Horseshit.
