The Insufferable Music Snob returns over at Pandagon. Much good information on the borderline of cool and uncool, hip and not. Might be helpful in the whole Self-Coolness Audit thing, Zelmo.
It has generated one of my new mottoes: “anyone who defends Hootie should be shot.” I am proud to claim that I've never seen the attraction, from the first time I ever heard them. IMS, indeed.
And how about this: “Bowie may think he's a fucking torch singer now, but at least he didn't do ”The Lion King“. Pure gold, I tell ya.
Makes me look like a piker. The only thing in my collection that comes close to measuring up is the Mekons, and that's more of an obsession.
Maybe I'll stop ranting about politics and our King for a while and just do music.
Although some friends can vouch for the fact that I get just as riled up about music, if not more.
sigh. Guess I just have to face it, I'm a borderline personality. Thank the gods of the internet for blogging- what a relief valve.

Hey, I'm Rumblelizard, I'm another regular over at Pandagon, and I'm also from Milwa. I live in Bay View. Where are you located?
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot: my email is rumblelizard AT hotmail DOT com, shoot me an e! We might even know some of the same people, Milwaukee is so 1/2 a degree of separation.
ReplyDeleteWe live on the Other East Side, where it used to be cool, not like Bayview is now.
ReplyDeleteYou ever get to Club G for Drinking Liberally?
No, I didn't realize DL started a Milwaukee chapter. I guess I'm a bad liberal. What nights is DL on at Club Garibaldi? I kind of stopped going to the bars so much in the past few years because 1) I bought a house and can't really afford to blow so much money on booze anymore, and 2) I quit smoking a little over a year ago, so all the smoke in bars simultaneously makes me sick and makes me want to start smoking again. So, you knew Boy Dirt Car and went to their shows? We DEFINITELY must know some of the same people, I was an 80s Milwaukee punk scenester too. Funny how small the world is.
