Ever let a misconception about a bands name discourage you needlessly?
I thought the Detroit cobras, would sound like whitesnake.
How foolish I feel.
-
Badly Drawn Boy - when I first heard of him, I assumed it was some electronic act.
-
massive attack
-
Gorkys Zygotic Mynci
-
And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
-
the dixie chicks
-
Guided by Voices?
Guided by bad taste, that would make more sense.
-
Exit Clov..that name wouldn't suit any band!

they have enough fans to fill a room? It must be like a David Blaine box?

I decided to put it more softly. There is a good number of Guided by Bad Taste fans in the board, and in the past a few of them haven't taken that well comments about GBBT.

Actually, I think people have taken them fairly well, although it still amazes me how you can form such a strong opinion based on 1 night

really. . .oooh, they don't sound like the pixies, ergo, they suck.

some people think otherwise. I love it when hipsters are in denial.

Off the top of my head I have come up with a Top Ten Most Deplorable Hipster Attributes (this is not confined to one area of identification, but rather spans everything from what they wear to what views they hold and where they reside, and this is by no means set in stone): Here we go!
10. Hails from the Midwest, lives somewhere in Brooklyn.
9. Owns at least two Guided By Voices albums.
8. Firmly believes that Ralph Nader should have won the 2000 presidential election.
7. General arts over-education (i.e. has either designs to attend graduate school, is in graduate school or has gone to graduate school)
6. Parents shoulder some of his/her financial burden.
5. Owns at least three too tight T-shirts adorned with dated symbols (usually fuzzy or shiny/decal) with which he/she has absolutely no knowledge or connection.
4. Can readily and willfully recall the theme song from at least one television sitcom that was cancelled before his/her birth.
3. Will consciously muss and/or neglect to wash hair in order to achieve a 'look.' (male only)
2. Is of the opinion that 'Pet Sounds' is the greatest Beach Boys album (a comment generally follow by this statement): 'rivaling the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'
1. Insists on calling movies 'film,' insists on calling concerts 'shows.'

I don't take the GBV jokes badly, I just think y'all are out of your gords.
-
Well I can say that GBV is better than Superdrag, now there's a band with no stage presence.
-
Most of the people on GBV's listserv fit none of that description

did I do something to get your attention today Rhett? oh joy

I always heard they should have been called Guided by Beers. Another band name ill-suited for the band would be the Pixies.

not meant to single out you, sorry.
those bands are two bands that a number of people on this board talk about, that's why I mentioned them.
i think the fact that we all sit around and talk on a music chatboard all day pretty much qualifies us as hipsters to a certain degree. Embrace your inner hipster.
i nearly wet my pants with laughter one time when Kosmo claimed he wasn't a hipster. The guys in his 40's, still going to rock shows on a regular basis, dyes his hair, wears funky clothes and glasses, drives a mini, and listens to garage rock...and he's not a hipster? hahahahahahaha

From the great book "Rock Names"
The Pixies - The band formed in Boston in 1986. The name was chosen by lead guitarist Joey Santiago after flipping through a dictionary and was okayed by the band because they liked the fact that it didn't have any real relevance to their sound...
So you are right, by their own admision.
-
Wow, I miserably failed that hipster quiz.
-
so anyway, about Superdrag, no stage presence?, ludicrous, have seen them 4 or 5 times and the only time they were bad was when they played The Tavern at AU, which is a horrible venue

Hey Kosmo, Rhett just called you a hipster. What'cha gonna do about it?
-
according to the test, i'm about 50% of the way to hipsterville. i wish someone would tell some of the other hipsters so i'd have some friends. spread the word, okay?
-

You didnt see them support phantom planet?
Although if I was suppost to a bunch of pretty 15 year old boys I would be flaccid too.

wait, don't they guide hipster fans?
still don't see how this is an unappropriate name. doesn't say WHICH voices they are guided by. they aren't called guided by the greatest musical voices.
-
Yes, but I meant it as a compliment!

Something really hysterical...just now on the robbie fulks board, as people were debating whether ryan adams is adouchebag or not, someone wrote this:
well...ryan DOES look pretty on that record cover. i think i'm over this whole ryan adams animosity...from now on i am going to concentrate all my rocker hatred toward robert pollard - a man much more worthy of my critical energies.
...now don't everybody go and spy on me on that chatboard, and sign up for that chatboard and post on it trying to turn everyone there against me...

yeah, I dont fit into one of those categories, except i call concerts "shows" but i dont call movies "film" so i guess i get a 1/2 point.

i think people have already been doing that, rhett.
-
the funny thing is, a lot of people get a weird perception of Robert Pollard, I watched the documentary about them the other night, and he is one of the most down to earth guys around, I think it just must be how Rhett explains people's feelings about Exit Clov, jealousy
Pollard never intended to be in a touring rock band, he just always wanted to play music

sometimes i think you and Rhett are the same person.

Sure Sonick, but people tend to talk more about their personal life on that listserv and lost of stories about their kids favorite GBV songs, not really hipster stuff
-
Originally posted by sonickteam2:

interesting sonick, I was joking about the jealousy thing, but you have proven time and time again that you have no sense of humor
oh and sonick, I really try not to take anything on here seriously, so don't take this as me trying to start a fight

first of all, as you can see here, maybe 5% of people on a board/list serv actually chat on it.
And really, you dont really strike me as someone who could carry on a logical argument anyway, so i wouldnt really try to do it :)
only Markie can really get me going :mad:

Hey Kosmo, Rhett just called you a hipster. What'cha gonna do about it? [/b]
well based on my claims i'm more a metrosexual than hipster...
and what i am i going to do about it? go out and buy an thrift store scraf and try to download heaps of emo withing getting kicked off emusic...
(actually from what little emo i've hear, guitar shops must have a emo in box kit. all the bands use the same guitar sound and play guitar in a annoying similiar manner. talk about sheep like)
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

i cant download anything from that site anymore, it just "connects to peer" all day.
fuck that site, i am unsubscribing on Friday.
-
I have about 100 part albums.....
It has to be the most annoying way of getting whole album downloads ever.
-
but anything that is in your library prior to cutover will still be there and can be downloaded again without it counting against the new monthly limits. or so they say...
right now i'm playing chicken by stocking up my library hoping not to get terminated

Nope. Does know I am a Scientist count?

Fuck, I worked for him.
7. General arts over-education (i.e. has either designs to attend graduate school, is in graduate school or has gone to graduate school)
School was horrible the first time around.
6. Parents shoulder some of his/her financial burden.
Hell no. I moved out of the house.
5. Owns at least three too tight T-shirts adorned with dated symbols (usually fuzzy or shiny/decal) with which he/she has absolutely no knowledge or connection.
Do those CityPaper shirts count?
4. Can readily and willfully recall the theme song from at least one television sitcom that was cancelled before his/her birth.
His name is Flipper, Flipper, Flipper...
3. Will consciously muss and/or neglect to wash hair in order to achieve a 'look.' (male only)
Washing hair is a good thing.
2. Is of the opinion that 'Pet Sounds' is the greatest Beach Boys album (a comment generally follow by this statement): 'rivaling the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'
Two great songs, "God Only Knows" and "A Day in the Life"
1. Insists on calling movies 'film,' insists on calling concerts 'shows.'
Film is reserved for Arty stuff. Shows are reserved for clubs.

But I cannot take the horror of downloading an album more than 5 times without getting all the tracks, that is just useless.
I spent so much time doing it and I feel it wasnt really worth it.
I did enjoy the detroit cobras and
Gorkys Zygotic Mynci though. :)
-
band with unsuitable name:
Death Cab for Cutie
Sounds like some kind of thrash punk satan metal, it couldn't be further than that

hahah. thats funny. You know though, it really never seemed to be that way until they announced the change and since then its been very very difficult to get anything.
-
I'm a little slow to catch onto things, so I apologize if this question has been covered already. What is the monthly subscription fee for using Emusic? I'm checking out the site now, but without signing up, I don't seem to be able to get the info. Thanks.

Bet you paid a lot for that too huh, how does Emusic feel about password sharing?
-
it was $9.99 a month for unlimited downloading...which rocked.
but now they are changing it. so something like $50
or you can do a $14.95 membership but only get 40 tracks a month.
talk about falling off.

Oh, shit! It's you! I had a psychic once tell me that the other part of my soul was a young guy in Iowa. LOLOL You complete my soul. LOLOLOL.

I think the psychic meant that you were to build a rock club in a cornfield.

well in theory the amount of people downloading after the 8th will drop dramatically... so anything that been stashed is up for grabs which then can be downloading without problems at your leisure.
-
oh and i feel your pain about trying to download even sitting at home all day long... but imagine 69,998 other people trying to grab everything possible before the cutoff.

so if i unsubscribe on Friday morning, then after that i can retrieve anything in my Stashbox?
where did you read that? shit man, i am all over that!
-
you have to remain subscribed and you be only be able to download whatever is in your collection, (the stuff already downloaded). right now i'm filling up the collection by starting the download and then cancelling it. once it's stored against your account, it can be downloaded later. the only concern is getting terminated by trying to download to much... then everything is lost.
http://www.emusic.com/messages/qanda.html (http://www.emusic.com/messages/qanda.html)
Q: Will I still be able to download tracks I downloaded from EMusic prior to the introduction of these new subscription plans?
A: Yes, as long as EMusic continues to make the tracks available for downloading and you are subscriber to EMusic, you will be able to download these tracks again.
Q: Will multiple downloads of the same track count against my monthly total?
A: Once you have downloaded a track (whether before or after EMusic's introduction of these new subscription plans), that track can be downloaded again without counting against your monthly total.
