i'd rather stream last.fm through netflix

tune into Ace Ventura: Pet Detective at 11!

i prefer the cheefs this year

By avoiding social networking sites

Just keep sending it stupid formspring questions

Well that sucks

You too?

i thought most people put it on their tongues...

honestly, i looked these guys up, and i feel like i would probably be into them if i tried them out. might get back to you on this.

a little louder than necessary to hear so that it diverts my attention and i can get more out of my listens since i rarely get the opportunity to just ignore everything and listen to an album straight

i was never able to get into Bee Thousand when i was into that sort of '90s indie rock stuff moreso, so i think i missed the optimal time to get into them. i've considered re-trying Bee Thousand but never gotten around to it.

in what context?

really really good, Pleased to Meet Me is my personal favorite (mainly because it was my first) but i have boring taste in them in general. their most famous triptych are is all i really listen to if anything

i wasn't aware that Scaruffi emphatically endorsed EAI, Onkyo, Modern Classical, contemporary free jazz (say, last ten years or so), exotic pop (or pop of any kind, really) or the vast amounts of conscious hip hop I listen to. I'm not gonna pretend he wasn't a major impact on my taste for about a year, but I've definitely grown out of a lot of his selections, just as I'll most likely grow out of the above phases as well.

"bands" is so rockist...

Zhou Xuan, Julius Eastman, Half Japanese, Rina Ketty, Ethel Waters

i'm fairly neutral on both. Nevermind, The Bends, OKC are the only things in total that I really listen to of them, and those are RARE spins.

Nirvana is the product of a rock scene run by old people who decided that music was somehow dead and dried up around the end of the eighties. This is the crop of people who obviously blatantly ignored that the punk scene was going well and that shoegaze and neo-psychedelia were, you know, a thing. It's one of the great injustices of rock music history that 1991 was a "decided, obvious" year with the GOTY choice. HELLO! MBV and Slint and all them came out! I think my personal perspective, granted, with tons of hindsight, is that Nirvana didn't usher in anything more than something that RS liked a lot and pushed HARD. there was nothing lasting about the dime-a-dozen grunge bands that came out, and Nirvana themselves are only considered influential by the same people who see Pixies as a two-hit wonder for "Here Comes Your Man" and "fight_club_song.mp3"

Radiohead is really good, but they're like The Beatles, popularizing experiments of other artists, but not about seven months later like the Beatles, but sometimes up to thirty years (post-Kid A = popularization of all of the electronic experiments from the Moog to Aphex Twin). BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU STOPPED CARING FUCK YOU

well, that's nice!

Man, I'll send you fifty back! ;-)

i assume this got a disproportionate number of sexist responses...

umm, okay? that's really rude. i care a lot about emily. i don't even have any idea who you are.

'cause i sort of kind of care about my girlfriend (thus "girlfriend" as opposed to "random anonymous formspring person")
