You're going to throw your laptop out the window?

[cubed]

^I'd gladly do it if it would rid the world of ani difranco and her listeners.

[Mangle]

Well, I'm just happy to be talking about music.

[Bevvy Swift]

talking about music is like jumping about politics

[Mangle]

Talking about music is like talking about food (anyone know a good falafel place by Metrotown?): it can help point you in new and amazing directions. Like you've never talked to someone about music at a rave/club.

[Caps/\L0cK]

Learn to get the F*&^ out when it gets that heaty... i would have packed up my ignorant, know-it-all bags and booked it for the nearest backup forum to make myself sound impressive on.

[Mangle]

Yeah, I have a terrible habit of overestimating people.

Hehe. From SomethingAwful.com:

If you've read about Joanna Newsom's album "Ys" then you probably expressed feelings of intrigue, excitement and eagerness to listen. If you've listened to Joanna Newsom's album "Ys" you probably expressed a similar feeling to that of when KISS first removed their makeup: disturbed, disappointed, and left asking "Why?". Why are all these critics praising a woman whose voice is so is so irritating that upon listening to it you would rather be at a three hour lecture on the biology of laughter taught by Fran Drescher? Why are all these critics praising songs over ten minutes filled with pedantic (the album's named Ys.) lyrics about nature and animals on top of monotonous harp twanging absent of any form of rhythm or melody?

What is happening is the general public is getting too close to the esoteric indie crowd, which is increasingly becoming less esoteric. "Uncultured boors" are attending their "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!" concerts, so they had to take the unlistenable and pop-insensibility to the next level. They crowned Joanna Newsom's Ys as a masterpiece simply so when detractors question their judgment they can utter one of their favourite platitudes with a smirk: "You just don't get it." Which I would reply with a fist in their black thick rimmed Lisa Loeb glasses. Joanna Newsom's album deserves none of the praise it had received the past year; it's an annoying bore that is only being pushed by a very sinister indie agenda. It's only fitting to give it Worlds Greatest Dad: Worst Critically Praised Album.

IT IS PROBABLY JUST A STORY TO SCARE PEOPLE, BUT IF YOU YELL "ACCUTANE MONSTER" IN THE MIRROR 6 TIMES WITH THE LIGHTS OFF, THEN WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON MANGLE WILL BE STANDING THERE, SAYING SOMETHING LIKE

"OH MAN, WHY CAN'T EVERY JAY-Z ALBUM SOUND LIKE THE GREY ALBUM"
