That joke is older than Kim Gordon.

And she's very old.

Still true though.

Alfred 06-14-2009 08:46 PM

Oh.

That was the first time I've heard it. :D

RonaldSays 06-15-2009 02:10 AM

Haha, it's still funny though.:laughing:

Well let's see... I'll just do whoever comes to my head and whose musical taste I know:

Bulldog - Likes a lot of good stuff; reading through his 100 best albums I discovered he shares a taste in music similar to mine. Likes the Happy Mondays, which I haven't seen to many people on here talk about, so that's a plus. He also got me into The Wedding Present.

BooBoo - Well, I know he's a huge prog fan. Seeing as how I'm not, I don't know too much about his music choices. But I'm pretty sure he likes some cool stuff perhaps?

Comus - In the vast minority of people here that don't like Radiohead, and one of very few members besides me that greatly dislikes them. Major points for that. Another huge prog fan; don't know too much about that again. Can't think what else he likes.

Jackhammer - By far the most diverse member of this forum. He's also very knowledgeable about all the music he has, it would seem, which is no easy feat. Introduced me to Mice Parade, and a few other things, so I would say his taste is good.

dac - He's a big post rock fan; gave me a really cool album by Valley of the Giants the other day so that's good. Likes Explosions in the Sky too. Besides that, I don't know too much about him.

Sneer 06-15-2009 12:59 PM

A Screamers fan, from that i can ascertain a decent taste.

dac - He's a big post rock fan; gave me a really cool album by Valley of the Giants the other day so that's good. Likes Explosions in the Sky too. He has a blog about death country, so that sort of takes away from the validity of his library :p (I despise country, I know it's diverse but I don't like any of it!).

Sweet Nothing - ****e. He once stated that he won't listen to anything unless it has a good review from Pitchfork, so he starts off pretty low right there. I have a problem with music fans that are close minded like that. He proceeded to claim that the Pitchfork stuff he doesn't like is things like Neutral Milk Hotel and Animal Collective. Therefore, he probably likes the crappy stuff from Pitchfork (I don't honestly know what's in there). Still a great guy though, I just strongly beg to differ. EDIT: Opinion just raised when I found his and wwwp's thread. He put in some Decemberists songs and called Colin Meloy a criminally underrated lyricist (how true), and included Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights and Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst. And Gorillaz - Demon Days, one of my favorite albums. So in reality, he just ranks lowish for closemindedness and not liking Neutral Milk Hotel or Animal Collective.

really now? :usehead:

EITS are good not great, and I DO NOT have a blog about death country. I have no idea where you got that from.

And I'm the one that said that about Colin Meloy actually...

Irony? I just hesitate to check something out based on what pitchfork says about it, is there anything really wrong with me trusting their reviews?

He was thinking of Pobody.

music_phantom13 06-15-2009 01:48 PM

Antonio, I've listened to lots of country; if you give me an album I'll check it out. Don't care what it is. I just have yet to find any country that appeals to me. I dislike old classic country stuff to Johnny Cash to the alternative crap on the radio (though I am aware that constitutes very little of the genre) to death country... For some reason it just doesn't appeal to me. Give me good country and I'll listen to a full album and tell you what I think... and Sweet Nobody, I totally took that the wrong way. My bad. I just thought you're musical taste was completely different than it was. I fixed it now.

And wayfarer, I don't care what people listen to, I thought this thread was just to give our opinions on other people's musical taste in comparison to ours...

Well that was just stupid on my part. What I should say is that what other people listen to doesn't bother me; I won't dislike anyone or look at someone differently for any type of musical taste. However, I guess I do care about what people listen to because knowing who has similar musical tastes allows me to know who's suggestions will most likely be something I enjoy. And I don't like it when people won't give something a chance. I guess that's really what I meant; you're right I do care about it.

From the sounds of it you've already made your mind up on what you think about country. You're going into it with the attitude of "everything else I've listened to is crap so why should this be any different". Going in with that type of cynical mentality will almost surely guarantee that you won't like the album and that the only way you will like it is if it dispensed hookers with cocaine up their fannies. That said, the albums that really got me into the genre were Corb Lund's "Horse Soldier Horse Soldier" and Elliott BROOD's first album "Ambassador"

Where do I sign up?

music_phantom13 06-16-2009 06:21 AM

Yep. I don't like Elliot Brood. I've heard Ambassador and another album that was something to do with Tin. Tried both of them several times, and it definitely didn't do it for me. I did used to just write off country as crap without giving it a chance, and at some point I decided I'd try it. But honestly, I really truly have yet to find a country band that I enjoy. Corb Lund deserves a shot, I haven't heard of them before. If there's something else you think I would like, just tell me and if I haven't heard it I'll listen. See? I'm not writing off an entire genre, I just haven't found anything I like. Unless you consider backwoods jam type bands like The Recipes country; they're more alternative rock/bluegrass/jam music. That's about the closest thing to country that I've ever really liked, I think.

Well I'm mighty glad I got you interested in some of the stuff I was touting. ;)About the country thing, I live in Kansas, man. If you dont like Willie and Waylon, you better be outta town by sundown.

FETCHER. 05-18-2010 06:13 PM

BUMP :D!


Mojopinuk - He always recommends me stuff and I think "NOOOOO" and ALWAYS enjoy it, like Jeff Buckley - Grace, and Primal scream.

RVCA 05-18-2010 06:28 PM

kayleigh. - Sorry, but most techno and dance music sounds really similar to me. I find it hard to enjoy music that doesn't have meaningful lyrics, as 99% of techno doesn't. I enjoy a little Deadmau5/Justice here and there, and I saw you mention Junkie XL somewhere recently, so props for that stuff. That being said, I don't really identify with your tastes.

FETCHER. 05-18-2010 06:31 PM

Don't feel bad :laughing:. I find you completely wrong on the meaningful lyrics part though, i'd say their lyrics are as meanful as other artists. Plus I like alot of other stuff, like glasvegas is one of my favourite artists ever, and have VERY meaningful lyrics ;):D

You're probably right, seeing as I know almost nothing about techno/dance music and you know quite a lot. I'm just referring to the songs that, ie, repeat a single line over and over and over. grr!

FETCHER. 05-18-2010 07:31 PM

No I hear you :) I agree that some can be very repetitive and annoying, but others are very very exciting and make me have butterflys in my stomach :D

Alfred 05-18-2010 07:53 PM

khfreek: No one on this forum is as similar to me as this fine young man.

Your musical compatibility with mojopinuk is SUPER. :D

Mojo's taste in music is SUPER.

loveissucide 05-19-2010 09:25 AM

Jackhammer: Astonishingly varied and encyclopaedically knowledgeable.
Bulldog: Huge amount of common ground, very strong retro bias however.
Rickenbacker: Pretty much the same as mine, if a bit too Pitchfork at times
Big3KilledMyRainDog: Appealingly eccentric and varied
Urban Hatemonger: For the most part top-notch stuff
TheCunningStunt: Good, if a bit NME at times.

TheCunningStunt 05-19-2010 09:42 AM

I don't quite know what a bit NME at times means but I'm gonna take it as a compliment anyway.

loveissucide - Your musical compatibility with loveissucide is SUPER, although you listen to a lot of artists I don't, that's more to do with me. I feel like my music taste is still shaping up. I'm still discovering new things, it's on the right track anyway, I think.

CanwllCorfe 05-19-2010 10:38 AM

kayleigh. - tastes in music are similar in regard to Electronica. I think anyone who I'd be more compatible with in that sense is wickedlk

IWP 05-19-2010 10:50 AM

kayleigh - Is into house, trance, and all that electronic dance music so her tastes is top-notch when it comes to that.

Urban Hatemonger - His tastes varies, and I've honestly never heard of The Fall before, but I might check them out to see what the fuss is about, but he's into old school metal so he gets my approval.

Jackhammer - Also likes heavy metal, and is open-minded with music, just like I am.

Boo Boo - I have to admit, I don't exactly agree with his tastes in music, especially since one of his favorite bands are Nirvana. blah

Jansoon - For the most part, I agree with his tastes in music, yet again, he listens to just about everything.

Antonio - Loves old school metal and classic rock, so he gets my approval. =)

Nonsense! (he said cranking up the volume on Exile On Main Street for the gazillionth time) ;)

duga 05-19-2010 11:47 AM

I think the person with the most mysterious taste in music to me is Freebase. I have no idea what areas his taste goes to. I know he likes IDM and Deftones, but other than that he could be totally into New Kids On the Block for all I know. What I do know is that every time he throws me a rec it ends up being really stellar music.

My well runs deep, but it is closed to the public!
;)

Nah, I share the same taste as a lot of you but the stuff I'm really knowledgeable about and have an extensive history with is Electronic stuff that very little people on this forum listen to, or at least talk about that I'm aware of. I might attempt another member journal with all this stuff. I just rarely have the motivation. :(

FETCHER. 05-19-2010 05:28 PM

^ same for my motivation, it's non-existent.

OctaneHugo 05-19-2010 05:50 PM

Ooh someone do me someone do me.


Bulldog: Listens to everything under the sun so long as "under the sun" means "white people who began making music before around 1988"

jackhammer 05-19-2010 07:17 PM

Kayleigh only listened to Electronic Dance/ Techno when she first arrived....wait a god damn minute!

A few members on here are barely a step away from the top 40 singles chart yet profess to be open minded and unique. Yeah right.

This doesn't mean that you have to listen to every genre under the sun ( that's my job) but now and again tell me about a band that we HAVEN'T heard about for a change.

BTW. Kayleigh is not included here because I cannot find space in my heart to say a bad word about her at all.

FETCHER. 05-19-2010 07:29 PM

^I'm a bitter electronica/(half) charts fan. :o:

Myyy baaaad :D


My go, my go!

Jackhammer: Does actually seem to have such an interesting taste in music, but I find it hard to keep up with him because he doesn't post his last.fm (I stalk members tastes through that thread). Nevertheless he's one of the wiser members music wise (ha, see what I did?)

Urban Hatemonger: He's one of my favourites, yet he has never rammed any of his music down my throat. I know he likes the fall... generally has old skool taste in music? yes? no? :(

My last fm is not what it was due to work commitments these days but it has included some Dub, Post punk, Reggae, Physchedelia and the new superb Foals album as well as a quick listen to the new Faithless album :)
