Music Shit / What Are You Laughing At And What Do You Have To Say About It? PART I

Misread the title of the other one for a sec. Not bad thread idea.

Or nah, maybe it's a horrible idea.

What are you laughing, OR light-heartedly, benevolently, humbly rejoicing in but with a bit of skepticism maybe?

Laughter and joy in your heart?? LAUGHTER AND JOY. But no pandering to stuff. AHH

Music Shit / Songs or bands that were important to you, but now you question

« on: August 29, 2018, 08:47:36 PM »

Dead Kennedys

A healthy, naturally smart icon of the counter-culture writes a song about doctors fucking with people's heads just for money, seemed witty and righteous until I had to see a doctor. Thanks Jello Biafra, sure I'm convinced that Trust Your Mechanic was written in a spirit of love and consideration of all suffering. Now I'm feeling better I can consider kindly that *he* might've had awful experiences with doctors and mechanics and other experts, and it's not an entirely invalid point he made, but the Dead Kennedys no longer is some kind of benchmark for social criticism. I don't need a song to make me scared of doctors because like, anti-capitalism and shit, if I'm sick.

Oh yeah, and also bands you stopped listening to because it became embarrassing or you just moved on or whatever, that weren't that bad when you try to find something wrong apart from it being dorky. I'd say In Flames, for me (their philosophical 90s sort of stuff, at least). Shiny corporate macho fantasy image, probably don't need day jobs, would keep my wits about me as a girl hanging out with them and fan base... But apart those reasons you could dislike them, they are still good. Lyrical themes & energy reminds me of Pious Faults, actually. Would feel safe with my kids listening to them. ...But yeah, I might blush if N Flamez came on at a party.

Non-Music Shit / Where are you all from?

« on: August 05, 2018, 12:16:17 AM »

Hello everyone.

Feels like a timewarp. Noticed a user here called SouthportRocker, where I used to live! Bands and people in them were a distant fantasy. Funnily, I listened to music way less, the more shows I went to and the more musicians I hung out with once I moved to Brisbane. Seems like my brain's more back to normal now though, hanging out on the internet and listening to music alone while procrastinating uni assignments.

So where are you all from? Are you loner underground music fans in lonely cities, staying home gazing through the internet, or are most of you involved in IRL music shit? Also, did any of you write for Negative Guest List back in the day?

Either way, good to see an old fashioned forum still alive. Better than the face book.
