well i know what he means.  like he's clearly not into that sound but i don't think he fully appreciates that fact and that it means that he's not missing anything (there's not really anything to miss-- it's not like we're all hearing SECRET MUSIC that you are not within the songs) and that is just what they're supposed to sound like.  like if you hear someone being like XBAND IS AMAZING over and over, i can see why you would think that you were maybe just not doing it right if you went and listened and were completely unimpressed.  but yeah its okay to not like the way something sounds!  people rave about pandabear and i hate that shit

no, that's not a great part of their appeal at all, i don't think.  like it should be taken into consideration and appreciated the same way it should be when you listen to like PAVEMENT or NIRVANA or whatever, but i think what is lost on you seems to just be the general sound of a noisy punkish/garagey band.  like it's not the most accessible or friendly sound in the world, and if you don't like distortion or any of that shit, you probably won't like them or a lot of other music like that!

well sonic youth is its own kind of inaccessible though.  some of the songs are fly right out of the box but in general it took me a while to get into them.  they are noiserock as fuck and sometimes just the melodies and senses of rhythm are so alien to what i was used to just listening to REGULAR ROCK.  the pixies yeah for sure, although even for them i think a certain amount of ACQUIRED TASTE is required.  also VIOLENT FEMMES how come no one ever brings up how cool violent femmes are i looooove violent femmes

hey steel/ryan do you like chameleons???  i wish i had someone to talk about GENERAL SHIT I LISTEN TO now that darkwhite is gone....

man that article is too vague.  critical condition could mean a lot of things!  that sucks tho hes a p good drummer i hope you werent being sarcastic ase (heh... travis barker almost burned alive... good)

also i think it's just that you're more used to noiserock.  daydream nation is p easy to get into but even then, just take a track, listen to it, and then compare it to MEW and the aesthetics are really pretty far apart!  i think it's easy to forget how foreign even an album like daydream nation can sound if you just listen to more modern normal shit.

yea thats basically all i use him for too.  it's good because we have nearly identical taste in music and now hes....gone...

also back to college


also check this out maybe you will like it

yea fuck dinosaur jr lets talk about the chameleons now.  ase maybe your VAGINA will allow you to like this lol.  not but really it is probably a lot more up your alley.  really i just want someone other than steel who i am sure has their discography somewhere among his 800gb of music to be like "that'll do, panda... that'll do"

yeah script of the bridge is excellent.  both of those songs are off what does anything mean basically but only because every time i try to suggest something off script of the bridge i can't choose what i like more and it takes like ten minutes because i dont wanna link like eleven youtubes.  monkeyland has like the best chorus ever and as high as you can go is also great.  really it's just a catchy as fuck album; i wonder how they never got ultrafamous!  i guess maybe mark burgess did not put enough flowers in his back pocket and roll around on stage in a pool of self-sympathy during performances.....

also 80 doesn't seem that big!  mine's only 40 tho and i feel like you have more than twice the shit i do.  i had 60 for a while but i just went through and deleted all the shit i know i'll never listen to again (del amitri noooo.....).

yeah seriously 40gb is a lot for me, too!  like ultimately once i get the shit i want i'll be at like maybe 60, 75 max!  i dont know how you even accumulate so much music.  i guess i do not download as wide a variety of shit as you do (mmmm teargas and plateglass numnumnumnum)
