Fun Stuff > BAND
I have a confession.
El Opium:
Dinosaur jr. has too much feedback? Never ask me for a mixtape then.
Merkava:
I'm feeling light-headed here. This guy hates two of the VERY PILLARS OF INDIE ROCK.
Pavement is loud and meandering? PSHAH.
Too much feedback? It's called LoFi. Iron and Wine has it on his debut.
Unless of course you mean too much loud noise made by the guitar, which would lead me to believe that you think they should take the NOISE out of NOISE rock.
Meh. At least if you said Nirvana, I could understand. Even the Pixies. Dinosaur Jr. is kind of acceptable because of the albums after You're Living All Over Me, but Pavement?
WOW. Just WOW.

Heh, JK. It's not THAT bad. I happen to hate Joy Division. ;D

Thurston Moore is way cool. Maybe if you didn't take "indie cred" so seriously all the time you could just enjoy this irreverent and amusing aside to his ridiculously good band. Sonic Youth was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, and that was just last year.
Actually, your lack of a sense of humour might be the reason why you don't like Pavement either. Jeez, they played poptastic lo-fi masterpieces. What's not to like? Sure, they weren't very serious about it all, but that's one of the reasons why they're so cool.
Frankie say RELAX, dude.
KharBevNor:
Hey, maybe he just, you know, has differing tastes that take into account different values when evalutating musical worth? Maybe he's trying to express these tastes, these opinions? He's venting forth his very soul and you crush him? Man, you're like Hitler and a tyrannosaurus rex rolled into one! in a monster truck!
I swear that started off as a serious po...
Gryff:
Yeah, if we're being serious there's nothing wrong with not liking Pavement (as much as I find it hard to believe!), but the whole "Sonic Youth sold out" thing…
--- Quote from: Oerdin ---Indie rock has sunk to a new low
--- End quote ---
…just because Thurston did a stupid agony uncle thing for some website irks me. It was obviously not serious, so can't we all just have a laugh?
The idea of a Hitler T-rex in a monster truck, for instance, makes me chuckle heartily.
