I hope I never meet you in real life. I also hope David Byrne never meets you in real life, because he would punch you in the face for liking OAR.

You are a troll from 1997.

You can't count, and you think the fact that you read pitchfork.com once every two months in 2007 means you can now pass off your patchouli phase as ironic...except it doesn't.

You think posting a bunch of bands we have to look up on All Music Guide confuses us; it does. You also think it makes us think you're cool; it doesn't. You also think we're dumb enough to believe these are actually your five favorite bands, as opposed to some obscure **** you heard about on the internets one time; we're not.

True, but let's give it a shot anyway.

You feel unsure about endorsing any music not hyped by a certain arbiter of taste website I've already mentioned, and so with certain exceptions you approach music made before said website assumed it's current prominent internets role with extreme caution, afraid of making a faux pas in front of your friends, all of whom wear tite pants.

Those exceptions include bands whose place in the hipster canon is secure enough that The Onion saw fit to use them as a humorous example of a band whose shirt would be worn by your average record store clerk. I would have added that there is no doubt in my mind you own pair of glasses with thick black frames, but how obvious is that already?

I also would have added that Girl Talk puts on one of the best live shows I've ever experienced, but that's beyond the scope of this particular thread.

I might almost think you were cool if I met you irl, as one of the bands you mentioned happened to write one of my favorite songs. However, I would be able to see right through to the rage that consumes the very core of your being, and would probably just ask you for a bump and say no **** a lot before, during and after doing so. You hang out in leather bars from time to time, and tell yourself it's totally not gay because there are so many HOT CHIXXX around.

To be perfectly honest, I've never heard of Laura Brannigan, and I don't give a ****. I'm guessing she's not a band anyway; FAIL.

Two beat-oriented types who can move crowds of kids desperate to prove that the fact they have expensive educations doesn't mean they're not cool, hard, and down; one legend; one curveball; and the biggest ******* ***** of all time.

Add it all up and...everything is cancelled out by the fact that you mentioned the biggest ******* ***** of all time. And no, the fact that it might have been a joke, he wears Supreme, grudgingly forces me to admit he is a good guitarist, and was actually pretty funny on Chappelle's Show does not make it okay.

He doesn't come across as a particularly violent fellow.

 

[Bona Drag]

OAR does strange things to people.

 

[limping_decorum]

swervedriver
husker du
the hellacopters
nick cave and the bad seeds
boris

 

[Bona Drag]

You just wasted 15 ******* minutes of my life during which I wrote lengthy response to your pathetic list, made sure it was packed with lulz, and then lost it thanks to a browser crash. So first off, **** you.

I'll keep this simple: the Hellacopters are the Hives for marsupials. Swervedriver is Ride for people with bizarre sexual proclivities. Nick Cave is Tom Waits for people who totally don't have a smack problem because they only buy it from and do it with rich white people. Bob Mould is a gay club DJ. You only heard about Boris because you used to lurk on Vice and post as many comments as you could involving the n and c words.

That said, **** you.

Oh yeah, and limping_decorum? MORE LIKE LIMP DICKORUM.

The PM conversation going on right now between you and tighty88 writes itself, and involves a lot of blurry cell cam pics with rulers in them.
