pretty please could we see your straight edge tattoo?

I'm right with you Melchior- I mean, I was but a wee lad when Minor Threat was out and about, I kinda got into sXe hardcore (albeit rather briefly) mainly through Fugazi then on to Minor Threat and discovering that New Haven, CT, where I'm from, had a scene going. This was back in early...

That would be a sad state of affairs if music were only worth something when you were blasted.

And I wasn't in any way *ahem* offended by your remarks, K-Punk. Frankly, I'm just a bit new to posting publicly like this, and I guess I'm a little timid like one day I'll probably take a bruising. But hey... Anyway, yeah, I mean I'm doing my best right now to focus my thinking, there's a...

Um, well, speaking only for myself: I'm not offended, I'm saddened. And that's what it is, saddening. But really mine was a totally offhand comment- of course there's nothing surprising in the parallels the pope draws. I'm not quite sure how you figure it's a "massive understatement" (that...

Yeah, that's actually really disgusting. In fact, it's sinking in as I type, and it makes me really sad. (referring to what the pope said, that is)

I think this is really more to the point. I read some article by some ex-high level US Army dude (intelligence, maybe? really sorry for my lack of specifics, it was a while ago) and the dude was making an argument for aligning with Saddam against the US and rampant capitalism. Um, sorry, but...

Not to be rude, but wasn't that exactly his point? This might be overly presumptuous of me, but I imagine the Pitchfork world mouths off a lot of criticism of the mechanics of the mainstream media while they end up playing exactly the same game. That Run the Road review is just shit, for...

My biggest complaint w/ the album is that Brain Melt doesn't go on for another five minutes.

Yes, most definitely, all around (BUT I really should add that I would NEVER say that I deplore the existence of the state of Israel), and thanks for the patient clarification, except: now I've gotta look into what's going on specifically 'cause I know almost nothing about the British political...

K-Punk- I understand what you're saying, and I almost agree with you, but I do believe there's something you're not saying behind this, I mean, it's a pretty loaded subject. Or, if I'm not quite on the mark, nevertheless: if the dude's name is Finegold, and the Guardian transcript is accurate...

Well, another obvious one is Madlib, although I must admit I haven't quite figured out how he factors into the hip-hop world at large. Plus, the actual free-jazz and Sun Ra connection comes through in attitude more so than musically, until you get into the Yesterday's New Quintet stuff.

I quake sympathetically.

Yes, my bad, I definitely misread: Diaz mentions that I was off in placing that Gin and Juice cover- the context in which I heard that, I always felt that the same people that were playing it were generally pretty supportive of status quo and ultimately were gonna add to growing social...

This didn't pop up on my cultural radar outside this forum, so I'm not taking it too seriously, don't worry. But first off, a number of years ago some white boy Dave Matthews wanna be band did a similar thing to Gin and Juice, made it a party "anthem" that geeky white people could listen to...

I'm not British and not up to speed on what you're talking about, must admit- but perhaps you could clarify- is it specifically Jewish claims of anti-semitism that you're lamenting, or is there a larger trend that you perceive? (Maybe this is a foolish question, but you're statement was...

let me just finish smoking this and i'll be right over...

'nother NYC resident here, and very glad about the fact that there's a night happening with excellent tunes and room to dance (maybe it's just me, but usually it's either one or the other or a cover charge and expensive drinks). Last time w/ rupture et al got me very psyched, the crowd wasn't...

I mean, there are a number of possibilities for alternative energy and I don't even see why one needs to be 'it.' It's bizarre that in this world so full of energy we're willing to accept oil as the ahistorical primary energy source. That's why we have imaginations. My friend is studying...
