According to who? I hope you don't really think the band's you like are terrible. That would be self-deprecating. You'll offend a whole other classification of music snobs by liking Kanye. You'll have both the anti-Kanye and the anti-Awol/Pilots crowds judging you now.
But, really, how do you feel about My Morning Jacket?
I'm only joking when I make statements about my awful taste in music. Music is different for everyone and I make no qualms about what I listen to. I actually listen to a bunch of different things depending on my mood. I listen to it all day at work, to and from work, and if I went a day without music I would have a miserable day. There aren't many people that I think are horrible. I used to hate taylor swift but after recently being dumped for the first time in my life, her music made sense and I find myself bolting the lyrics. The only thing I'm embarrassed about is my short love affair with Hanson.
MMJ is still new to me. I have a spotify list for them and they are growing on me. It's not that i hate them, it's just I never heard of them before joining inforoo.
Whatever anybody says about T Swift, I maintain that she is one of the best go-to's when you just want let yourself embrace the bittersweet sadness of a breakup/relationship issues in general. This song in particular KILLS ME:
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
So you mean a creation with actual artistic merit that was misappropriated by dumb people?
I get what you're trying to do here, but you're both off the mark. Fight Club is smart-dumb, or dumb-smart, however you want to look at it. "Fight For Your Right" is dumb-dumb, as in, completely the creation of bratty and irreverent teenage dudes dumbing it up in mid-80's NYC.
I think you are a bit off the mark regarding tripperfish. all his statements should be taken at face value. it was just a bad joke.
not saying you're wrong about "fight for your right"
I am thoroughly enjoying this. Because only a Sado would on purpose & willingly try to make a coherent point & know everything he/she says is going to be muddled & distorted til the point is lost.
At least I can feel confident that everyone is a grammar whiz & is highly educated, cause everything said has been intelligent.
Shawg or stress for those who don't know is a form of lowest grade ganja, for those who needed a dictionary & can't keep up with the lingo - I suggest the urban dictionary to you.
But most of the rasclat comments are funny to me.
There are 3 categories of live bands.
1. Bands that are worse than their album live - See Phoenix or Bloc Party (Disappointing & Pass)
2. Bands that sound exactly the same as the album live - See TV on the Radio or Wolf Parade Black Keys - OK i am down
3. Bands that significantly exceed expectations live from album - STS9, Flying Lotus, AWOLNation, Tool (even if albums are juggernaut), RATM (same as previous band), even Radiohead, Aracade Fire, Primus, Phish...etc.... - Sign me up!
Thats my point - A good album with a great live band is better than a great album with a band that can't perform it.
AWOL falls in Cat 3, but that is what is great about festivals lots of live bands stack up with each other so the litmus test is easy. Comparisons of live acts is one of my favorite things about music festivals.
Come on & join for the Set on Sunday... stand at the back, watch the energy flow. : )

Phoenix sound better live for me. TV on The Radio sound a good deal different live to me and it varies from better to not as good as the recordings. Flying Lotus sounds almost exactly the same live as on record to me but I enjoy his live show.

Oh man. "Rasclat."
And your argument assumes that the thing people should value most is music in a live setting, which is misguided. I like live music, and love experiencing it, but I also love works by acts that couldn't possibly recreate, or exceed, those sounds in a live setting. The whole "YEAH BUT YOU GOTTA SEE EM LIVE" thing is kind of overblown. When I was a young, dopey fool I used to assume that the best way to determine whether a band was any good was by seeking out its live performances, when in fact I feel like often times a subpar musical act can skate by on an overinflated reputation as a good live band simply because they change the way the songs are played or add in a bunch of shitty solos or whatever.
You definitely have a good point in that everyone takes something different from their music experience. Everybody values and appreciates music in their own way. I definitely fall in the "YOU GOTTA SEE EM LIVE" category. I can thoroughly enjoy someone's music, but if I see them live and their show doesn't wow me, I'll never listen to their music the same way again. Case in point...Jake Bugg. I was so excited for his set last year and was so let down and bored by him, I just recently started listening to him again at all.
In countless years and countless accounts, this is the nicest that I've ever seen Larry Farnsworth. Confusion has set in and I'm not sure which I like more.

i wasn't sure it was him......i like the thoughtful version, but the other side can be so much fun!!!

It's like finding out Santa Claus isn't real, right?
Think of this account like the old Ultimate Warrior from the golden days of the WWF. Every time a Warrior would up and die from a steroid overdose, they'd find some other muscle-bound cretin, slap him in the suit, and send him out there.

I used to feel that way, I guess. But it's like, 90% of the time I'm listening to music, it's not in a live setting. So it doesn't really matter to me that much if MMJ just straight up RAGE MELTS FACES at every concert, because that has zero impact on most of my life when I would actually listen to music. So if there's a band who I love on record who isn't that great live, it doesn't really matter. Hell, I feel like almost all of the artists I listen to on the regular I'll never really have a chance at seeing live anyway, so what difference does it make?
For me it depends on the band and my level of love of them. Example: I have loved Modest Mouse for YEARS. I finally get to see them live in 2007 at the HOB right after We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Isaac Brock was so fucked up that he forgot lines to songs, didn't finish whole sets and the distortion was SO BAD. I was heartbroken, but I wanted to give them a second shot because of my love of them and that I heard that was an off night or some shit. Supposedly, they came back and did another show because he felt so bad about his performance (I missed that somehow). But when they did come back last year, they were fucking amazing and sounded great. One the other hand, if it was a band that I was like, Oh I like this song, and the album is ok, but they blew live, in the words of Mr. Wonderful, they would be dead to me. There are studio bands and that is fine if that is what you like, but I am an active concert/fest goer. My goal in live is to retire and just travel the festival circuit, why would I stay loyal to a band that can't reproduce what is on their album? I don't want to just listen to someone on the radio/album/streaming whatever if they don't have any real talent and have to use technology and studio tricks to make an album that sounds good and sells.
On a side-note...if it wasn't for that horrible set from Modest Mouse, I would never have discovered Man Man. They stole the show and were mind-blowing. I have followed them ever since.

This is so mind-blowingly stupid that I don't know where to begin.
"Yeah, I really can't get into Michaelangelo. He sculpted David, but he did that in his studio and shit. He had like polishing cloths and all kinds of fancy special chisels. What I like are those bearded dudes who paint live on the side of the stage while STS9 rages out a hetti jam. They're the real artists."
So you take one part of a whole collective post and then tell me its stupid, when it is completely out of context. Oh ok. You missed the whole point and your analogy is fucking retarded on top of it. #kthxbyebye
