Punk rock: all about sticking it to the authority, saying FUCK YOU to society at large, making it up as you go along -- only to cower behind semantics whenever the man shows up to shut your shit down
With their acerbic wit and blood-thirsty attack, Borbetomagus are virtually unlike any other band anywhere. They make Peter Brötzmann seem warm and fuzzy. There is no intellectual response to music like this; you either love it or it grates on you so badly you have to take it off the box, leave the room or die screaming to be let out of the torture chamber of an existence that would allow something like this to be conceived of, let alone created. Saxophonists Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich, along with guitarist Donald Miller, create the most extreme noise three instruments like this with amplification can make. There are only two "tunes" on this fine disc: "Bathed in the Blood of the Lamb" and "Grunion Run."" They are both very long tracks; the first is over half an hour, and the second over 25 minutes. They are different from one another in their approach to extreme tonalities and in dynamics, but, other than that, like what's going on musically, you have to hear for yourself. This is scary music -- the kind that makes you have nightmares about serial killers. But it's also the kind of fun-house fare that makes you want to live free or die, to scream in ecstasy, and laugh with glee with the knowledge that the creative impulse is alive and terribly well and living in America, of all places. This is music beyond language because it is the roots of language itself: the impulse that attempts to express and organize that which is unspeakable. Highly recommended.

Well looky here, Rolling Stone gave this new indie band Buttfuck Suicide a four-star rating for their premier album release. I have no idea what "snortcore" music is, I don't quite understand the pretentious album art, I normally only listen to pre-war big band music, but hey it's four stars from RS so I'll go purchase this entire album right fucking now
I sometimes browse Pitchfork, but I find that their criteria for what constitutes good music tends to be totally arbitrary. So I don't do it very often.
rolling stone and pitchfork reviewers are all old farts who know nothing about music that isn't GOOD OL ROCK AND ROLL and quasi-hipster dipshits who only listen to entry level garbage respectively

Video game reviews generally are helpful. Especially back in the day whenever EGM told Akklaim to fuck off and that their games suck (to which they never stopped crowing about for years but that's beside the point.)
Movie reviews are pretty helpful too. It's not really that often that critics rally behind a stinker or conspire to hate something genuinely good. In fact, I've never known them to ever do that.
I grew up with subscriptions to Rolling Stone and other music journals filtering into my house especially after mom moved to Nashville to work for the music industry there. One that I specifically remember is the release of a Teenage Fanclub album -- this one -- that received a one-star review in Rolling Stone. The reviewer just fucking despised it, despite it being the top-selling college album in the United States and UK for like, fucking months and it even won a few hotshot rewards.
And whenever these reviewers talk about the album they're reviewing, nobody can understand what the fuck they're talking about. If you hand the Doors' first album to your average reviewer, you will not be told that it's a breakout album with an almost hokey "Whiskey Bar" intermission halfway through. You're going to read what amounts to a dog eating a thesaurus and then vomiting it back up.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
OOH BANANA

I haven't had a soda since 4 am Tuesday
For some reason the stuff doesn't appeal to me at all right now
Seriously, though, I have no idea what the hell is happening to my mood. I feel discontent, but not quite as depressed anymore. But, banana is a funny word and I'm actually 10 so there.
I never drink much soda. I have to be in the mood for it; I gotta need that crap at the appropriate time.
Weirder considering they're from South Africa where I can't imagine she's all that well known.
it's 'cause she offered to let them open for her.
this offended them and now in a new music vid
The video depicts a very obvious Gaga-lookalike (played by a man) arriving in Africa wearing the infamous meat dress. She does some light sightseeing before experiencing a hijacking, being shot at, birthing a leech, and finally being eaten by a lion. Needless to say, the video is pretty graphic and makes no mistake of expressing the band's disdain for Lady Gaga.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better, JZ. Even if it's not much, it's better than nothing or feeling worse.
I think I've mentioned my opinions on soda enough times already.
Gator: I've not heard your soda related opinions =P Thanks. I'm mostly just tired if feeling so lonely and stifled right now. Group has been helping, but it's not a cure all. But, hey, at least it's a little easier to get up in the morning that it has been in the past few weeks.

Of course it's not like I use Vimeo so I don't think there's much I can do with it.
But it's nice to know that it's a thing, if necessary.
I mostly just don't understand Pitchfork's relationship with Li'l Wayne.
My view. And the view of many. Is that his mixtapes are his better works and his albums tend to range from mediocre to terrible.
Pitchfork tends to give his albums glowing reviews, and then absolutely slam his mixtapes.
I do not understand this.

haha what the hell.
That's dumber than The Flobots' "feud" with 3OH!3

Which is good...
