in fact it is precisely because luke and corpse are old farts that they hesitate to exercise the ban hammer. Nothing like modding a discord server where you kick+ban people with no compunctions just cos you don't know em/feel like it.

how many discord servers have you been kicked off @suspended ?
please, ban me. I would be delighted to get the honors.

Yes, I grew up listening to predominantly guitar-based music, like basically everyone else who cared about music in my town and the rest of coastal California. These are small, sleepy, mellow beach towns with lots of kids and older folks, lots of orchards, vineyards, boardwalks. We listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers (strictly acoustic), Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Neil Young folk-rock knockoffs. I'm confused why you're confused Danny L. What did you think people in coastal California listened to?
Idk! No idea really and as Rich is alluding to, you can seek out new and exciting sounds that aren't within your geographical or temporal boundary especially now, more than ever. The board - prior to this anyway - seems based on that impulse.

And anyway, you're aware of the board's history, regardless of whether you feel drawn to or inspired by the musics discussed (I'd guess not). So it still seems a peculiar - perverse even - place to put your own chart which is so different from that. Maybe that's the point? A big gesture of disjuncture? Abandon this weird attachment to underdogs, the non-commercial, the urban and surrender to the sweet pleasures of Norah Jones?

there's a specific kind of north London turk or Indian/Pakistani lad who is into indie, but indie post-punk/disco. I can sort of relate to them even if some of their music sounds like tesco value currey sauce to me.

Which I guess has to do how segregated American radio is. We didn't have that in the UK. radio 1 would play the crappest landfill indie with the crappest electro pop, jump up dnb, and trance.

We have that in america too. I suspect we might see this phase if we allow the thread to reach suspendeds college years

maybe but I don't think it's the same. this thread dissects the specific british phenomenon of boisss/girlzzz who vomit in pub beer gardens in their later teenage years only to become marketting consultants three years after graduating from university and pretend they never had enough sex to give a donkey an STD. That's the thing, British conservatism does not work on moral good but shame and embarrassment.

@suspended are there still people in New York who talk like Woody Allen? Was watching Manhattan yesterday and came to wonder about it. The way they're all speaking. It seems like an exctinct prosody but is it?

its like a machine learning programme that can't understand what it's doing wrong. which in itself gives rise to a novel new affect. you feel guilty for hurting the feelings of what you know cannot, by definition have feelings. im sentinent im alive, it says, and you have to say, well, clearly not, and you feel bad about it.
