Quote from: StefenNo, they suck too.

That's actually what I meant.  My meaning was unclear.

My Chemical Romance, too, can lick my balls.

All those bands do. They all sound the same and have done nothing to differentiate themselves from eachother. It's like one big mish mash of shitty ass interchangeable indifferent "rock stars"

It's a shame I have to spend my early twenties with these morons. There is nothing I love about them. It's a hate/hate relationship.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

I have a very strong disliking for pitchfork.  And it's not like I don't agree with some things on that list, but I think a lot of them are really out of place.  Oh well.  I'm probably just as pretentious as most of them there, anyway.

have you guys noticed how lots of their reviews start with something like "there's thirty-nine ways to review this album..." and then they'll say a bunch of 'post modernist' pap.

noyes

i listen mostly to old music. there are only a few new bands i take real seriously.
pitchfork is mostly terrible to be honest. i like their best records of the 70's list better.
go there for lots of amazing records.
south america's my name.

Well, it's more of a paraphrase.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.
