Never watched the Simpsons, wasn't allowed to have a TV in my room, we had one small common space television and it got 2-3 channels like the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). We watched Nova and American Idol that's it.

Weird how we were all doing that looking to california, but you actually there were not. Do you think having such a strict upbringing was a good thing?

No idea! I'm not sure I was hurt by missing out on Family Guy. I might have been able to fit in better at certain points in my life. I'm not sure I would've watched Family Guy even if I had my own telly. Was a snob most of middle school and far too busy in high school when I was starting to become approximately curious about popular culture.

For better and worse, my taste in music has been shaped by a drive to progress. When I was seven or eight, I’d sneak into my dad’s home office to watch MTV—disallowed on fuzzy moral grounds—on his TV-VCR while he was at work, enthralled by what I thought was the adult world. As I was learning guitar I sought out songs that pushed me to the next level of speed and dexterity, quickly graduating from punk to hardcore to metal and beyond. Then, studying music in college, I gravitated towards theory, following the growing chromaticism of the Romantic era until tonality broke in the 20th century, unlocking new systems so complex and abstract they seemed to precipitate from theory rather than the other way around. I wasn’t playing guitar, I was playing an RPG, a linear path with clear, quantifiable growth that could be gamed by grinding out any number of side quests.

See @thirdform this is the line of thinking that a substantial critique of this thread might produce. Concepts like capital, class, hierarchy have structured the thread and I have yet to hear a whisper from the peanut gallery assaulting my "latent values become manifest"

Contra Shaka's guess the goal of this thread is not actually to talk about my life I have no desire to vulnerable to you lot of lumphead fugnuts, but there is a Straussian subtext to it all and if someone guesses it I'll quit the 100 right away. Otherwise you lot got 75 more to go. Sorry thems the rules

Your values aren't worth insulting because they're dreadfully uninteresting. You could be a bloke in North London called mr on his best behaviour Jamie Stone from a middle class Jewish family with mostly assimilated Jewish friends and the music you like would be identical. You only think you have unique taste because your view of British music fandom is shaped by this forum, Fisher etc. But in Britain you'd fit kindly into the blando democratic majority with this proclivity to replacing fascism with a nauseating identitarian liberalism. Even Luke is jealous of you, precisely because he's become an underground music fan without realising it. Like you, he is quite the bottoming type.

That's right. Wild Greens has a great thread going on right now featuring many kinds of music which Dissensus users love—lotta pages of great stuff, really top stuff, you can get your moneys worth. This is more a kind of tourism. An opportunity to visit a foreign country of taste.

hence this. inaccurate.

It is why Fisher could quite confidently assert the nuum to be part of British pop, when in actuality it was part of transatlantic pop. Detroit and Belgium have more in common with Wiley than do the Libertines or Dido. Amateur multicultural goldsmiths dissertations.

btw Gus, what's your view on Doherty getting away with murdering Blanco?

ok i googled. i don't know anything about it. i would assume that police take murder pretty seriously and investigate it, so if he did it he would have been prosecuted, particularly as the guy who died looks at first glance as though he's from a pretty elite segment of society, but maybe that is naievity.

i want it on the record that i never got even a moment's pleasure out of the libertines. they seemed to be a really meaningful thing for a few girls i liked at my school. i could never quite catch on to what they were getting out of it.

has it not crossed your mind that Doherty is/was most probably a snitch? Good resource for the old bill, you smoke your crack but tell us about any associates who er... inconvenience you, and we'll sort it out.

Come on Luke's vigilant citizen shit is kids play compared to this. real conspiracies.

probably it's that the boho ideal mutates over the years, and the libertines were an iteration of it that resonated for some reason or other in 2003.

it is kind of amazing how much the bohomian thing has popped up again and again in different forms for 200 years or so. i guess that is something that many people have noticed before.

Ari Up was a copper. just ask @blissblogger - this is what Penman accused her of, and he was correct!

Pete Doherty is a copper.

Gus is a failed copper.

Bohemians are cops.

The problem is the Gallaghers are from Manchester, least laddish city. Real lads listen to jump up and immortal technique!
