Music Shit / Re: why tb is still good- they realize my band totally sucks ass

yeah, i'm pretty sure this isn't a groundbreaking observation or anything.  and yeah, i've heard that backlash thing.  but it's like, backlash from who?  the tens and tens of people that have actually heard any of these records?  fame is a tricky thing.

Music Shit / why tb is still good- they realize my band totally sucks ass

« on: October 31, 2007, 10:51:11 AM »

so yeah, i realize it's pretty self indulgent and tasteless to start a thread about your own band, but really it's more about TB than about the feelers, of which I am regretfully a member.

anyway, last year we put out a 7" on contaminated that got some good reviews in a few magazines and websites, including terminal boredom and, as always happens, some of the reviews actually had something to say (in one wierd way or another) and some sounded like they were trying to say the right thing so they could sound "with it" or whatever.  thing is, i've always had a particular hatred for people that don't have any opinion but pretend to like things they either don't like or just don't understand just so they can sound hip- and my hatred increases a million fold when that person is actually reviewing records.  in the last couple years i've noticed more than one zine that, in my opinion, went down in flames cause their writers went from decent reviewers to hipper-than-thou douche bags who were more interested in following trends and being tastemakers than actually reviewing records.  totally gay.

so last year, we got some good reviews, which i was happy about cause it was my favorite thing we've put out so far.  then this year, we put out two on very short notice for a tour that we had very little time to prepare for and yeah, we pretty muych rushed it out the door.  not that we didn't care how good the songs were, but like any group of half-witted, sometimes jobless, alcoholic retards we found ourselves at the last minute having to choose from a group of songs we weren't totally sure about.  we didn't think either record was bad, i just don't think we felt done with half the songs.  so we tried to make two records that, to us, made a little sense. 

then when we sent them out, and i listened to them over and over again cause i'm obsessed with myself, i came to the conclusion that the p-trash one was probably the worst record ever and that anyone who said they totally loved it either ought to have a lengthy history of giving positive reviews to questionable music (like our jew guitar player who likes some of the worst music in history), or they're just fakers.  not that you're a faker if you like it, but if you give the record anything like the review you gave our contaminated 7", you're probably a faker (or a jew guitar player type).

so this time around, i haven't really seen a lot of reviews, but thankfully TB came through with exactly what i thought about the album- it's not horrible, but it ain't that good.  it sounds rushed and we probably could have written better songs if we were honest with ourselves and just waited til after tour. 

so anyway, i just thought that was worth noting.  i know it's a wierd post, even a littlie like a blow job of a post, but TB is one of the few things I read still cause they aren't just into one kind of music and, more importantly, they don't just go around blowing "bands of the moment" like a lot of people and a lot of zines.

okay, sorry about the long post.  just wondering if anyone agrees with me. also, i'm on the 2nd day of the worst hangover i've ever had, so give me a break.

i've been drinking whiskey and eating lorazapan for three days.  sorry i became a nutcase and posted all that stupid shit.  embarrassing.  anyway, yeah, i don't remember posting that stuff last night and i wake up and look on the board and there's a bunch of delerious nonsense and it's kind of mean.  sorry about that.  it's kind of a problem when you can black out and still write and talk normal.  not a problem as in, "i need to go to rehab," but more in the, "i'm a hurricane of a moron," sort of way.  oh well, if i didn't do soemthing stupid when i've been that wasted for that wrong, i'd be concerned.

oh, and by the way, is anyone even surprised that fugazi would do something like giving a song to the NFL?  do we think that because we're total punk rockerzzz (!!!yeah!!!) that our crowd and the "heroes" of the genre are somehow exempt from selling out?  there were a lot of hippies with more coherent philosophies than that of Ian Mackaye (who probably doesn't have a philosophy beyond "everything you know is lies, man!), and look where they ended up.  if you read some of the horseshit the hippies were talking about, i mean, it may be obvious dipshittedness, but it does have some basic underpinnings that hold some water.  most of them weren't trying to prescribe morality based on an athesitc "smash the state" (haha) philosophy.  in other words, they at least recognized that you had to know WHY you thought you could tell people what to do, beyond  simply "i believe this beause i'm really pissed right now," or else your bullshit is, well, bullshit.

look where ian mackaye is ending up.  look where jerry garcia ended up.  as far as sticking to what got them there, their degree of self-righteousness (let's not forget how easy it is to be an anarchist when you don't have to worry about money), and their degree of hypocrasy, well, they're not that different.  and ian mackaye is a whole lot bigger of a pussy than jerry garcia.  and his girlfriend is uglier.

and anybody that says you can't say faggot, or retard, or cocksucker because it's "wrong" better be christian, a muslim, or a jew, or else they're just retarded faggot fascists themselves.

or not a homophobe, maybe?

yeah, okay, it could be that.  but chances are it's cause they're just retarded faggot fascists.

i mean, i have no problem with retards OR fags, i love fags and retards, and i think calling them faggots and retards is wrong.  but i know why i think that, i don't think ian mackaye does.  and the thing is, i know it's wrong, i know why, and uuuuuuuuuh, i don't fucking care.

ian mackaye got the "fuck you" designation in my book a long time ago, you know, like when i heard he was a self-righteous douche bag in a lame ass band that takes itself really seriously and fucking sucks. 

i don't think ian mackaye ever asked himself just why he's such a douche bag, either.  he never stopped to ask himself what his motivations are for all his pretentsion and preaching.  he's a punk preacher, that's all.  and he's not even punk. i would venture to say that ian mackaye isn't even punk, and he's barely rock and roll.  and he's definetely a faggot.

so just why does ian mackaye act so fucking ridiculous?  it makes no sense.  i mean, he's an atheist so any values or morals he has are baseless and petty.  from an athesitic point of view, my morals, whatever they happen to be, are just as good as anyone else's, because who's to say which is better?  without a god, there's no such thing as right or wrong or even truth, so whatever it is that ian mackaye believes is right may be just as wrong as anything else.  so what does that mean when someone like ian "awesome" mackaye is preaching a set of values and ethics and viciously attacking those who's values differ?  that makes him a fascist.  sorry, there's no other good word for it.  ian mackaye is a fascist.  and a faggot.  and anybody that says you can't say faggot, or retard, or cocksucker because it's "wrong" better be christian, a muslim, or a jew, or else they're just retarded faggot fascists themselves.

kind of ironic, huh, ian, you child molester wierdo?  a whole life of fascism dedicated to fighting... um... er... yourself.  fuck ian mackaye.

Oh yeah, speaking of Tower, thank you Tower sale!:

Scott Walker 2

i'm always surprised when someone knows and likes Scott Walker, especially when they have the taste to recognize that Scott 2 is one of the most amazing records of all time.  i know he gets most of the music from jaques brel, but if you listen to jaques brel and then listen to scott walker, scott walker's musc is really a level above in terms of mellowdrama and ridiculousness.  it's as baroque as it gets.  and any guy that looks that cool, sounds that good, and sings about "the wet head of my first case of ghonnerea" and being an international opium magnate, and glorifying a life  of constant drunkeness and fucking hookers and comes right out in the open with his sexist philosophy (girls and the dogs), and manages to have more fans in his fan club than the beatles did at the same time, gets my vote as being one of the most admirable people in history.  he was like the 60's pre-mod version of prince but a thousand times more perversion.

just thought i'd put that one out there, you know.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell everybody:  the feelers have decided to branch out into other areas of entertainment, the first being comedy.  we have quickly established ourselves as the best comedy troupe in the history of the world, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

Mitch, all those things we told you about our balls were just a lie to make you THINK you were in the circle of trust so you'd leave us the fuck alone!

come on, mitch, it's not that we don't like you, i mean, we do, it's just that sometimes people get along and have things in common, and it's not that we dont WANT to be friends with you, we just don't think there's any reason to be.  i mean, you'll find some people who are, well, how do i say this... more like you, mitch.  and you'll be happy you found them.  okay?  don't take it too hard, mitch, it's for your own good, i'm sure you understand.

so to repeat: mitch cardwell, regardless of what he says, knows nothing about any of the feelers's balls and therefore is NOT IN THE FEELERS CIRCLE OF TRUST NO MATTER HOW BAD HE WISHES HE WAS.
