i feel like an old man ...i want rock to come back

[Juana]

I think they are unfortunately on the bill for FFF but oh well someone will like it I will be seeing the punk and hardcore bands oh and Slayer

[Artemis]

you mean the days when music was music and men were men?

[leviticus]

i feel like an old man ...i want rock to come back

there room for both that... and whatever you think this is. Whatever this is, it makes me want to go to Miami circa 1987.

[leviticus]

Also, this is what most critics have boners for nowadays. At least this is more listenable than Animal Collective.

[Pandemonium]

Retro 80's new wave on Gorilla Biscuits.

[Juana]

I don't care what critics like. Hopefully I can talk some of the people I know that WANT to see M83 to come down to the circle during Slayer, what with their extra tight jeans and members only jackets they should be able to be completely aerodynamic in the circle.

But honestly it is what it is, kids are listening to that these days just glad this fest exists as they have the dance, punk, metal and hiphop stuff pretty much all in the same area.

[JOEinPHX]

Hardcore? Slayer? Both fucking terrible.

I'd rather being lumped in with the hipsters, than with the assholes with Xs on their hands and the fucktards with pentagrams cut into their skin.

M83 owns.

[Juana]

When I say hardcore I mean bands like the Bad Brains and that type of sound. Some people consider shit like Hatebreed "hardcore" and that is not my thing.

As for Slayer they kill it live just like Gwar does I don't own any of either band's albums but they put on good shows. People carving pentagrams into their skin are fucking idiots as well as people putting X's on their hands.

As for M83 not my thing, I don't listen to much of that type of stuff I think the closest I listen to is Lovage, Portishead or DJ Drez and those aren't really in the same area since M83 has more live instrumentation from what I have heard. That all being said I do plan to catch part of the set to see how its performed live maybe they will win me over. Maybe not.

I don't know if M83 is hipster music or not but it seems every hipster in Austin (some of them are friends of mine) is in love with this band and I don't get it. But hey at least we can agree on Ken Andrews

[JOEinPHX]

Ken

[kv]

failure was meh

[JOEinPHX]

You're meh.

But honestly i prefer YOTR and ON/Ken solo to Failure.

[Juana]

I like ON the most out of his stuff. Fantastic Planet is a cool record as well, nothing special but I like it. "Another Spacesong" is one of my favorite songs

[kv]

You're meh.

But honestly i prefer YOTR and ON/Ken solo to Failure.

same ..then again i prefer autolux to any of the bunch...winner greg edwards

[JOEinPHX]

i found Autolux a little too noisy for my tastes. But that was WAY back during the very first demo they sold, and the first album.

Maybe i need to revisit.

[kv]

well their new album kinda sucked and the first album is pretty much their demo...which ya is a decade old now...damn time flys
