Aint No Right

I only use the word cunt when someone is being a cunt.

He brought up the totally irrelevant Panic Channel (as a band and to this thread) as some kind of dig, as if that somehow represents the only new music I would consider listening to.

I roll my eyes at that. Very hard.

No, you started arguing tastes...Then yours came into play

1. No, I am arguing that the guy who wrote the article is closed-minded and won't put in the effort to actually listen to anything new because he doesn't actually want to.

And

2. The Panic Channel hasn't done shit since 2005. 12 years. I have discovered 100 new bands since then that I like. The fact that is your only frame of reference for bands you think I listen to is as lame as the writer of the article only listening to The Black Keys because it sounds like it was recorded in the 70s. It's 2017, time to play catch up a tad. You have the old information. It's been updated several times since you stopped paying attention.

I just realized I shouldn't be surprised that you're talking about what I listened to in 2005 on the message board where you all still talk about Jane's Addiction bootleg cassette tapes you listen to from 1989.

As you were, old folks.

Same to you kettle

Man, I didn't mean that to be a huge insult... it just seemed like a good example of what the guy in the article was talking about -- there's just something that seems not quite right about adults continuing to chase bands and make them part of their identities well after this should have already been figured out. This is different from continuing to listen to new music and try it out, and it's even different from continuing to idolize the music of your formative years. There's a reason why 85 year olds liked Elvis, but didn't like Donny Osmond or Justin Bieber, and it isn't that any of these are objectively better or worse, it's just how pop music works. There would be something really strange about a person who went through Beatlemania then obsessing about the Spice Girls 30 years later.

Again, the article doesn't suggest people can't find new music they like. But it does give, I still say, a pretty good account of why it's reasonable to stop putting in as much effort to find music to love as we did in our teens and early 20s. This says nothing at all about the actual quality of music today, or music 20 years ago, or music 40 years ago. That is irrelevant. We all agree that there is good music all the time, everywhere, if you look. But it doesn't follow that everyone should always be looking.

I just don't get how that LP Custom back there really isn't that nice of a Custom, Etty really is breaking this man. Also Taylor has a bunch of other stuff he works on when not being the second best drummer in the Foo Fighters so this might have something to do with one of those projects.

I think that photo was from a Royal Machines practice. They played in Vegas last night.

I don't want this to be a backhanded compliment, but Perry Farrell sang better tonight than he has in awhile. Really impressed!

I forgot, there were some pretty good TGEA tour shows. Man I can't believe that tour was already 5 years ago!
