Except in the case of nu-metal pop-rap crap, of course. > say, for example, "i don't like classical music because it bores > me" and you may get my pity, but never my ire. I'm sure lots of people will be getting ire-ish tomorrow.

I was just joking. It has been recently brought to attention that I'm not funny, so I'll stop. I basically meant... I really don't like any of it either, and I know it's not just Pavlovian... I have my reasons. CC, pick up that guitar and talk to me... - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 08:45:03 -0800 From: Rex Broome Subject: Re: [loud-fans] The Streets Stewart: > Well, you can look at this the other way too, by deciding that the > music itself can be divorced from either the "fundamental signifying > elements" (assuming that you mean what I *think* you mean, which is > the stuff like the red green and gold knit caps and the spliffs, but > not the actual musical elements of reggae) or one's lame high-school > prejudices against a type of music's supposed core audience.

Glad to see someone else who sees the Deadhead/Curehead parallel. The stereotypical Cure fan thing kept me from really liking the band itself for longer than it should've. As for the Dead, I've recently had a few conversations which have taught me that I am not alone in the heretical opinion that the Dead (also like the Cure) were actually a really good *singles band*! - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 12:38:57 -0500 (EST) From: dmw Subject: Re: [loud-fans] The Streets On Wed, 16 Mar 2005, Rex Broome wrote: > dmw: > > or, to put it another way, I don't think there's any genre that > > entirely actually, intrinsically, etc. > > I agree...

Not at all... don't sweat it.

Opening act Venice is Sinking impressed me. They are an Athens band who sound kind of like Galaxie 500 with Neil Young on vocals and Jane Scarpantoni on strings maybe? The Rosebuds did some new songs from the e.p. and one of them sounds sort of suspiciously like "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds on caffeine, but that's totally okay by me. Kelly asked me to play tambourine again, like the time they played the house party my friend Joe from the station had last summer. I got to be on stage with 'em, and that was a blast!! I miss being in a band. Go see 'em when the come your way. - --Mark ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 02:10:47 EST From: LkDylaninthmvies@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] The Streets In a message dated 3/15/05 10:26:58 PM Eastern Standard Time, jeffreyw2fs.j@gmail.com writes: it seems as if nearly every post-eighties metal band various people have attempted to tell me Don't Suck features the goddamned Cookie Monster on vocals LOL!
