I dont think that disclaimer has anything to do with your musical taste normally, probably has much more to do with when you are trying to be controversial or as you might explain, "make the board interesting."

Thanks for finishing my post. I had tagged an ending like that on the end of the post, but couldn't figure out how I wanted to say it, so just dropped that part of it.

Sorry if I started trouble or a "pissing contest" because I asked you if you liked anything. It just seems like you spend a lot of time on a message board dedicated to things you consistently say you don't like. Seems like a big waste of time but thatâ??s your prerogative. I guess the 9:30 board will have to do until some new one starts dedicated to that "godfather of cow-punk" guy from a few weeks ago.

nayr497 falls in the category of freshmeat which the  forum lions have dealt with... and touche to sonick for seeing them in 2003 thus really deflating an ego

The fact that you wouldn't know who Jason and the Scorchers are tells me you're a young one with not much of an appreciation of musical history. Jason has been putting out music for 20+ years. We'll see which guitar shop or accounting firm the Arcade Fire people are working for in 20 years.

um, actually, no, hence the disclaimer

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

At least two, maybe more, of your top 10 albums were also in my top 10. That's pretty good agreement, considering the thousands of albums that came out in 2004.

you mean the top 10 list that you castigated me for posting 'too early'!   :p  
 
 We certainly overlap in what we listen to but I guess its your online persona that most people disagree with as opposed to the music you listen to
 
 anyhoo, are you going to see Alejandro Escovedo at the Barns of Wolf Trap in March? I'm really looking forward to seeing him live again....

Should be an interesting show given what he's been through, but we're not big Alejandro fans. How are the Barns for shows? I've never been.
 
    Regarding my "online persona", I guess I see many people (but not all) on this board as kind of being folks who are so desperate for something "new" that they'll hop onto any new band that the indie rock press feeds them as being the new big thing. Call me a bit of a skeptic and cynic after following indie/alternative music for 20 years. Seems like their is too much positivity and not enough criticism on the board.

I've only been once, to see Alejandro with his string quartet - it was literally a spiritual experience, the sound quality was unreal, and this was before I had even heard much of his material
 
 its a small space - probably fits 200-250 people, all seated

wow. really? desperation? hmm.
 
  i have always found my taste in music to be on the less obscure side of things here.
 
   but i dont think having the constant craving for new bands is desperation to fit in....

Wow you can tell so much about be by what I type. Thanks for that Miss Cleo. Actually I am looking at 30 years old pretty soon and the reason why I have only recently visited this board is because I just moved to the area. Thanks for guessing though.
 Lets not start a contest of who can name a band that the other hasn't heard of because it could go on forever and no one wins.
 Maybe you should start an Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of all your crazy rants, because I actually asked you if you liked anything at all in a Wilco thread, so don't ask me to defend the Arcade Fire now. (By the way I enjoy the record but would not say it is the best of the year- I personally like "A Grand Don't Come For Free"). And the reason I said "that 'godfather of cow-punk' guy" was as an attempt at humor by referring to how bent out of shape you were at the Big Yawn review. I defer to your superior knowledge on Jason and the Scorchers or whoever you are going to mention next.
 So go ahead, flame me, get the last word, and all us "newbies" without "much of an appreciation of musical history" (Although I doubt you can match my knowledge of 3rdBase) will go back to our corners. Submitted with all due respect to your "on-line" persona. (By the way- how sad is your real life that you need an on-line persona?)
