in my mind, the most famous soda reference:

Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

-Savage Garden, I Want You.

"I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola"

Haaang on, why did you go and choose a band with notoriously bad lyrics? Pure chance?

Anyway, what your saying is, you have no imagination? that, say you could derive no satisfaction whatsoever from, say, reading a Dickens novel, because you have not experienced life in the 19th century? You have no ability whatsoever to extrapolate emotional responses from aesthetics and imagery? You're saying that basically you are trapped in a sort of hellish now, with no real conception of the world outside what you've experienced? What you're saying is that music must somehow apply directly to the audience, so that you can only listen to Bob Dylans pre-electric albums if you were around in the sixties folk scene? After all, you know, I've never experienced the conditions as they were at that time, so none of that stuff really has any applicability to me, you know? I only listen to music about being middle class and white and going to a private school.

Could it perhaps not be that any fantastical imagery, into which emotions are projected, easily has the potential to give more to a far wider range of people than any song about an extremely specific incident ever could? Could it not be that the use of mythic archetypes is based around visceral stimulation of our folk-culture memory? Could it not be that some lyrics in fact disguise very serious messages under a thin veil of fantasism? Could it not be that some people have aspirations beyond a drab reflexive eternal now and, rightly dissatisfied with the state of the world, seek out music and artforms which lets them imagine other realities that might inspire them to set and reach their goals in this world? Could it not be that the use of imagined real world and historical settings also allows us to reflect on the human condition, even if the main purpose is only for visceral entertainment.

Also, you must reflect, if you quote lyrics and shit and talk about authenticity or how it speaks or anything, on the most entirely succint and meaningful lyric of any song. One second long.

I was at a party that played a Sum 41 album all the way through THREE TIMES a few days ago.
It had poppy punk, metal and a saxaphone solo.

The first album, Half Hour Of Power, has a song with a superbly executed horn section in it. As well it was easily their most diverse album and certainly their best. Is this what you are referring to? Three times may be too much but I am unashamed of that record being a collection of my anthems when I was thirteen. Does This Look Infected and Chuck are pretty much totally awful, though.

how the fuck did jawbreaker end up taking on the entire black metal genre? and based on what? personal tastes, and the song fireman? fireman? that is a terrible song from a shit record. talk about unfun, or bivouac, or 24 hour revenge therapy, but dont let fucking dear you represent jawbreaker's entire body of work. besides, it doesn't really seem to me that tommy was aiming to discredit black metal at all, but i'll refrain from attempting to speak for him. . .

as well, everyone knows that the sex pistols' place in punk history is solid, just as jawbreaker's is. hey, it's not the fucking 70's anymore. as everything everywhere does all the time, punk has grown and changed, and just because jawbreaker isn't a band from the 1970's uk does not make them any less such. i just got back from a three day fest where i personally saw over 40 punk bands out of the 100+ featured, with only a small fraction sounding remotely like the sex pistols. according to the logic used up to this point, this would make them really really not punk, but im sure the thousands of people that listen to that shit would disagree. as well, i think you'd be hard pressed to find an anarcho punk who thinks that the sex pistols were anything more than a joke or a crock of shit.

like i said, three day punk fest. . . im very hungover and in great pain, so ive gotta cut outta here and hit the sack.

I think the amusing thing is Mayhem's lyrics started to get better and the music got a whole lot worse, look at Grand Declaration of War.

Since when do you need lyrics to develop an emotional connection to the music. The record that affects me the most when I listen to it is "Geliebte Des Regens" the entire thing thing is in German, I don't give two shits what he's singing about because the music is so charged. same thing with Burzum, ironically I think Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is one of the best lyrics I've read.

If The Light Takes Us:

A glade in the wood
Where the sun shines
Between the trees we are imprisoned
In this God's glade It burns it scorches
When the light licks our flesh
Goes toward the sky a smoke
A cloud of our form
Prisoners of the burials
Tormented by God's goodness
No flame no hate
They were right we have come to Hell

Obviously this is the English translation of the lyrics.

@Kharbevnor- You realize you threw the first stone here, don't you? One thing you must realize about me is that I'm very sarcastic. If it seems I'm insulting you or your tastes, I probably don't mean it. I'm sorry if I didn't communicate that, as the internet only allows for a very limited range of inflections and emphasis. You're right, I don't know jack shit about black metal. I know I dont like it, but I don't fault you for listening to it. The only reason I said "You listen to black metal, so I don't care what you think," is because you insulted my taste. Yeah, some of Jawbreaker's stuff is standard punk fare, but some of it is simply divine. I ran across some really good Jawbreaker on Last fm. I can't make you like them, and since you listen to about a gazillion more bands than I do, you can probably claim superior musical taste. In fact, Jawbreaker isn't even one of my favorite bands, but I do like them. I shouldn't have even brought up Nirvana, as they're so easy to insult. All I can say about Joy Divison is that Ian Curtis was even worse at singing than Kurt Cobain. And yeah, I listen to gangsta rap. I'm a white suburban teenager who entertains fantasies of becoming a wealthy drug mogul who rides with 24 inch rims.

It's not really the point. At no time did I claim Jawbreaker weren't punk because they specifically don't sound like the Sex Pistols. I made two seperate claims: one, that the Sex Pistols really are an important and legitimate punk band, despite what 'anarcho punks' may think (seriously, what the fuck is an anarcho punk? I have anarchist politics and I listen to punk. The fact that The Sex Pistols don't have legitimate anarchist politics doesn't really bother me: neither do 99% of every band in history). And two, that Jawbreaker are boring and lacking in the balls department. If you want to listen to new punk listen to Leftover Crack or something.

supersheep · « **Reply #483 on:** 31 Oct 2006, 15:39 »

And look at the bands that are 'anarchist' punk - Against Me! anyone? "Baby I'm An Anarchist" is about as anarchist as my trousers, even if it is a funny song to listen to. Music doesn't need to be political to be good. I still don't really like the Sex Pistols that much, though, although I will admit that they a) have some brilliant songs and b) they did spark off a huge movement in England.
