View Full Version : The Problem of Leisure Elphenor 05-29-2014, 10:44 PM What to do for pleasure? (Continuing my name checking of cool post-punk bands.) Trotskilicious 05-29-2014, 10:59 PM yeah stop it or put it in one thread you fuckin kid Elphenor 05-29-2014, 11:07 PM Well it's like too late to create a universal post-punk thread. This is the last one though. I promise. Seriously Gang of Four deserves a thread on every forum in the universe. Entertainment is absolutely divine. Elphenor 05-29-2014, 11:10 PM "Damaged Goods" is the greatest song ever written. "Your kiss so sweet Your sweat so sour Sometimes Im thinking that I love you But I know it's only lust" I'm Hardcore 05-30-2014, 12:35 AM pere ubu josef k wire bauhaus the fall fad gadget the durutti column pil tuxedomoon basically anything released in NZ between 1981-1984 do you see what i am getting at here Elphenor 05-30-2014, 12:50 AM I don't really like Wire actually. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 12:53 AM Josef k Fuck yeah man Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 01:31 AM i don't like gang of four it's like shitty wire Elphenor 05-30-2014, 01:41 AM Lol Ive tried to like Wire. But idk it doesnt click with me Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 02:10 AM gang of four sounds like a bunch of guys who heard wire early on, copied one of their sngs and just ran with it Elphenor 05-30-2014, 03:19 AM Franz Ferdinand are my favorite modern band. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 03:50 AM I always say I don't like popular modern music that much but that's not really true I guess. I actually really like Muse and saw them live. And I dig Arctic Monkeys and saw them with QOTSA who are decent. And Im a huge Franz Ferdinand fan. Bascically I just don't like music with black people and white guys wearing backwards hats because Im racist or something. pavementtune 05-30-2014, 08:36 AM Bascically I just don't like music with black people and white guys wearing backwards hats because Im racist or something. wait - music with either or, or both at once? (that sentence doesn't make sense, does it.) your loss, really. The exploding boy 05-30-2014, 09:04 AM I really don't think white people are supposed to enjoy rap and hippity hop. No but more seriously i just don't think you know, topic wise its mean to talk much about my reality and i don't need as a product of white middle class to co-opt it. Still today 99% of the time when i see a white guy rap it's fucking pitiful and they should be embarrassed. I know they make me embarrassed and i kinda want to apologize on their behalf (fucking macklemore). As for the more intelligent brand of rap/hip hop (Tribe, PE, the roots, nas etc). I mainly take issue with it musically because i find it pretty uninteresting. Its not even that old blahblahblah rap/hiphop is not music blahblah bullshit. It's a valid genre of course, it just does jackshit for me. I don't think it's meant to either. And i tried to like GOF and Wire and couldn't. I say i like post punk but i actually don't like the majority of bands in the genre. Most are not melodic or at least catchy enough for me. I like my post punk poppier. Most mid 2000s post punk revival bands that claimed influences from GOF were better than GOF. pavementtune 05-30-2014, 09:11 AM i actually don't like the majority of bands in any genre fixed. The exploding boy 05-30-2014, 09:30 AM i actually don't like the majority of bands in any genre Fixed i actually don't like anything Fixed your fixing. Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 11:28 AM Bascically I just don't like music with black people because Im racist. yep Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 11:29 AM I really don't think white people are supposed to enjoy rap and hippity hop. if you're going to go that far you best stop listening to rock music then you dickhead Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 11:30 AM "the more intelligent brand" Elphenor 05-30-2014, 01:01 PM EB doesn't like punk Im guessing. Bands like Gang of Four and The Fall have more attitude and less melody than say The Cure. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 01:12 PM wait - music with either or, or both at once? (that sentence doesn't make sense, does it.) your loss, really. Just black vocalists that sound like they're from the streets or whatever and then white guys that seem to be doing an imitation of black guy from the street. Im assuming I must be deep down racist because as soon as my brain hears the vocals it's like "Oh fuck no". And when I really think about it, a band like The Fall is like the same thing just with a British white guy and I love the shit out of it. You have a thug poet from a poor upbringing calling out the establishment over simple but effective beat based music. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 01:21 PM Like I was listening to Franz Ferdinand's "Evil Eye" earlier and my friend walks in is like: "Is this Eminem?" But I would never listen to Eminem lol Shallowed 05-30-2014, 01:25 PM Do you like Bad Brains Elphy? pavementtune 05-30-2014, 01:49 PM Just black vocalists that sound like they're from the streets Im assuming I must be deep down racist because as soon as my brain hears the vocals it's like "Oh fuck no". I'm assuming you are right in assuming you are racist. not deep down, though. the ultimate punishment for you. black. vocalist. doesn't matter that the lyrics make sense. he's black. OH FUCK NO <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/toQjknBRboI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 02:32 PM ghostface is a genius once you understand his language, that's all i gots to say Trotskilicious 05-30-2014, 02:33 PM WU TANG FOR EVER pavementtune 05-30-2014, 03:37 PM now you got your very own FUCK NO thread, elph. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Prcze8jT4D8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> but since you want white only and are at least 50 imaginery years old - Pixies' live-stream starts in about 80 minutes. slunken 05-30-2014, 04:37 PM Post punk but more melodic and poppier? Walk away son. Catherine Wheel 05-30-2014, 04:38 PM MF Doom > Ghostface > Black Thought > Q-Tip I'm Hardcore 05-30-2014, 05:56 PM the male vixnix strikes again Elphenor 05-30-2014, 06:54 PM Pavement: My black friends say the same thing about my music. And it has to do with the fact that our culture and the way we use language is different We all give the same speech to eachother: "It's not that I don't respect the art, it's that I can't really feel it." Elphenor 05-30-2014, 07:00 PM Although I do dig the more extreme joke lines in rap because it freaks people out. Like my younger brother was blasting this song about burning schools. And my parents are all "Ahhhh BLACK PEOPLE ARE A BAD INFLUENCE" And my bro is just laughing is ass of about it because it's not meant to be serious. It reminds me of like Dead Kennedy's "I kill Children" pavementtune 05-30-2014, 07:06 PM How did I see it coming that a reply would start with "my black friends" But hey, if you want to go ahead and define YOUR CULTURE as one that speaks only in your language, why not. Your loss. The exploding boy 05-30-2014, 07:15 PM EB doesn't like punk Im guessing. Bands like Gang of Four and The Fall have more attitude and less melody than say The Cure. We must not have the same definition of melody at all. and yeah they have attitude, I never said Cure ahd any. I don't care for attitude that much in music though. It depends really. And I like some punk. Depends who. I love The Clash. I like The Ramones, Pistols, Buzzcocks, etc. You're probably thinking i'm naming the obvious ones which yeah of course but there's a reason they're obvious, because they essentially wrote pop songs. The Skids too though they're probably closer to post punk. They're kinda straddling the line. "the more intelligent brand" what? Prove to me that 90% of rap/hip-hop isn't completely moronic. You can't. Not unless your standards for stupidity are much lower than mine and I doubt it. And the first line was kind of a joke. I mean about the white people not meant to enjoy rap thing. I'm assuming you are right in assuming you are racist. not deep down, though. the ultimate punishment for you. black. vocalist. doesn't matter that the lyrics make sense. he's black. OH FUCK NO <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/toQjknBRboI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Solaar was probaly my introduction to more literate rap. I mean I never bought his records but you heard his songs a lot here in the early to mid 90's. I think I might know the entirety of Nouveau Western just from hearing it a lot. It's twice I see you mention French artists, I'm gonna go and assume you speak (some) French too? The exploding boy 05-30-2014, 07:23 PM Post punk but more melodic and poppier? Walk away son. Well there is some. Joy Division and early The Cure are post punk. Early Psychedelic furs. Even early U2 gets categorized as post punk and I think it fits. Or at least it's the only style you can sorta fit them in. With post punk there seems to be the, shall we say, artier more edgy kind and the kind that leans more... well, I don't know how to say, but that is catchier. A bit like punk before, post punk isn't that clearly defined. It covers a lot. I think. I'm Hardcore 05-30-2014, 07:25 PM white is right, guys. it's just moronic to think otherwise pavementtune 05-30-2014, 08:49 PM I'm gonna go and assume you speak (some) French too? correct Can you name a music genre where you don't think that the most played artists have 90% moronic lyrics? (Opera doesn't count.) These lyrics are far from stupid, no matter if you dislike rap in general or not. And turn up the volume @3:30, this track needs MAXIMUM force. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/blomRPJuo08" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And dammit, if you judge Ghostface as writing about moronic topics, the human species must be far beneath you. pavementtune 05-30-2014, 09:18 PM And now in English, more music with black people for elph. I guess IT DOESN'T MOVE YOU and you can't feel it because not your language and culture? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3zBLwHQorIU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> slunken 05-30-2014, 10:53 PM Well there is some.

A bit like punk before, post punk isn't that clearly defined. It covers a lot. I think. I would just listen to The Jam and other power pop and call it a day. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 11:47 PM How did I see it coming that a reply would start with "my black friends" But hey, if you want to go ahead and define YOUR CULTURE as one that speaks only in your language, why not. Your loss. Why is it so crazy to you that rap music might not appeal to a white suburban male? I'm not dissing the genre. There are just as many dull, brainless rock bands as there are bad rappers. But I'm not going to lie and say I dig something that I just don't. Elphenor 05-30-2014, 11:49 PM And as everyone knows Im a young dude. Everyone I knew was into Hip-Hop and Rap. And I was listening to Smashing Pumpkins by myself lol Trotskilicious 05-31-2014, 12:19 AM never go full retard Elphenor 05-31-2014, 12:33 AM He doesn't like something I like, he must be retarted. Trotskilicious 05-31-2014, 12:44 AM it's pretty well beyond that Trotskilicious 05-31-2014, 12:44 AM if you just said i dunno i don't like rap whatever that'd be one thing Trotskilicious 05-31-2014, 12:45 AM you can't walk back "basically i don't like black people playing music" pavementtune 05-31-2014, 01:17 AM Elph, do yourself a favor and listen to the Tricky track I posted. I've heard a bunch of explanations why people don't like hiphop and triphop. But never "I hear a black voice and think oh fuck no! I can't feel that, how could I as a white male from a suburb. That's not my language. That's not my culture." I'd be surprised if you'd stick to this reasoning after you heard it. Or maybe you do, but then your reason for not liking rap is not that you just don't dig the musical genre. (Also you'll notice that Tricky performs with black and white musicians. How could that work so well if they wouldn't be able to feel the sound?) Good morning and good night, one more to go full circle in full retard: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C1kN2AMhWDU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> null123 05-31-2014, 01:30 AM music isn't universal i listen to rap but i dunno i could see the cultural divide potentially being what stops non-black people from being into it doesn't usually work out that way though considering most hip hop consumers are white and it's the dominant form of music in america at this point Trotskilicious 05-31-2014, 01:35 AM <img src="http://static.gigwise.com/artists/Iggy-Azalea.jpg"> Elphenor 05-31-2014, 02:11 AM I like Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley and Bad Brains. *shrugs* Elphenor 05-31-2014, 02:12 AM It's more like the "from the street" vocals and such that I can't dig. It's even worse from white guys actually. Shallowed 05-31-2014, 02:24 AM Almost everyone likes Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix. Bad Brains play white music and they're met with the "wow you guys are pretty good for black dudes" thing. Elphenor 05-31-2014, 02:50 AM I know right? That was the point. But I suppose when you have to be like "I swear Im not racist guys!" you should probably stop Elphenor 05-31-2014, 02:54 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtKrpu-z7ns&feature=youtube_gdata_playernyway, My favorite GoF song: Our bodies, Make us worry I'm Hardcore 05-31-2014, 07:34 AM But I'm not going to lie and say I dig something that I just don't. nobody is asking you to. nobody at all Elphenor 05-31-2014, 01:52 PM Even worse in terms of the "Aww fuck no" reaction is country music or anyobe with a southern accent. Nails on a chalkboard slunken 05-31-2014, 11:37 PM fuck you die Elphenor 06-01-2014, 01:01 AM I tried to listen to one of Pavementtune's linked songs but it's in French. I don't speak french so all I'm hearing is a standard beat lol. How was this supposed to make me appreciate? The thing about beat based music and pop music is that it's all about the lyrics which I totally dig. But to pull that off I feel like you gotta be really poetic or you've gotta be saying something really interesting. While like Sabbath can have stupid lyrics and who cares? But I realize it's just a case of me not "getting it" when it comes to Rap. The idea of these modern outlaw poets is badass to me though. The exploding boy 06-01-2014, 01:08 AM correct Can you name a music genre where you don't think that the most played artists have 90% moronic lyrics? (Opera doesn't count.) . See I didn't come back to this topic until now cause I figured in the meantime someone would probably have said that and then I'd have nothing to counter this with. Well what the fuck, 90% of what I say is moronic obviously. Elphenor 06-01-2014, 02:00 AM Let's just listen to The Cure and cry EB. Actually, you need to listen to more GoF. Trotskilicious 06-01-2014, 02:36 AM so if you were going to argue against cultural appropriation, elp's complete lack of understanding for rap music should stay that way Elphenor 06-01-2014, 03:04 AM Fad Gadget is another post-punk thing Im super obsessed with. I think it was on Hardcore's list. pavementtune 06-01-2014, 09:21 AM I tried to listen to one of Pavementtune's linked songs but it's in French.

But I realize it's just a case of me not "getting it" when it comes to Rap. The idea of these modern outlaw poets is badass to me though. Actually, if you listen to Solaar Pleure Symphonique, elph, you'll get an idea of instrumentation to rap that is interesting without understanding a single word, and you'll hear that not every rap song sounds like "street gutter with standard beat". There is more to it. But that track was for EB, obviously. Maybe you have problems with your attention when reading posts, let's try this: And now in English, more music with black people for elph. I guess IT DOESN'T MOVE YOU and you can't feel it because not your language and culture? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3zBLwHQorIU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Elph, do yourself a favor and listen to the Tricky track I posted.

Should have read that post. slunken 06-01-2014, 08:47 PM Pink Floyd fan: I don't like rap. It's like... misogynistic, immature and artistically not appealing. Consider Eminem... Yeah a few alright songs but so straightforward and personal lyrics that it is not even art. Do you know Gilmour and Syd rejected many of Roger Waters' ideas because they were too personal to be considered art? Hihop head: Let me put this on. Pink Floyd fan: Okay... Hmm... Not a self-tuned beat? Nice riff there. Vocal doesn't sound boring... Whoa!!! What a metaphor! Wait, what did he say? I'm confused... Hiphop head: Yeah. I call this post-rap. Trotskilicious 06-01-2014, 09:29 PM WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MAN slunken 06-01-2014, 09:45 PM i wasn't sure if this thread was still about post punk or if it was about hip hip so i combined the two slunken 06-01-2014, 09:46 PM "post rap" Trotskilicious 06-01-2014, 11:29 PM WHICH IS YEEZUS Elphenor 06-01-2014, 11:33 PM Tyler the Creator Elphenor 06-01-2014, 11:44 PM I think mostly why Hip-Hop bums me out is that no one in my life seems to know anything else. And it's played everywhere. In the 80's you could be into rap or you could be into Rock or you could be into post-punk and there were awesome mainstream groups for you and people to associate with. Now there's just Hip-Hop and if you like anything else you mine as well be a metalhead because that's how people will view you. I mean 95% of teenagers I met in high school thought Pink Floyd was like some super out there obscure shit. The exploding boy 06-02-2014, 12:16 AM When I was in high school in the early 90's half the people had a Pink Floyd shirt. but then again it was like 70's rock revival era. I had one too even. For a while there i thought I liked 70's rock. Pink Floyd is the only band that ever did something close to prog and still was any good (at least half the time). That's my opinion and i'll stick to it. Fucking prog bullshit. I don't know why Lydon bothered making his own I hate Pink Floyd shirt, they were the lesser offenders. It's true though that hip hop has taken over other genres it seems. Even pop now has often a very strong hip hop slant. Actually most of the shit on radio making money is some beat put on minimal instrumentation and some vocal melody. People just want beats now. We might as well go back to the caveman days. Just hitting drums. Those stupid greeks wasted their time working out scales. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 01:21 AM Mainstream pop is the cheapest easiest to produce money making music Corporate America can endorse I'm assuming it has always been that way. Pink Floyd is brillant regardless of genre. How anyone can not love "The Wall" is beyond me. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 01:25 AM Eminem sucks. Theres seriously nothing more lame than white rappers Shallowed 06-02-2014, 01:57 AM Even worse in terms of the "Aww fuck no" reaction is country music or anyobe with a southern accent.

I mean 95% of teenagers I met in high school thought Pink Floyd was like some super out there obscure shit. How anyone can not love "The Wall" is beyond me. How long before we'll see Elphenor say "I was born in the wrong generation"? Elphenor 06-02-2014, 03:54 AM Well it does truly baffle me that there was once a time where young people listened to The Fall. Cool As Ice Cream 06-02-2014, 04:26 AM Eminem sucks. Theres seriously nothing more lame than white rappers dunno, man. have you heard punk music? Cool As Ice Cream 06-02-2014, 04:28 AM also, with your stupid "culture" theories, maybe you should stay away from the british music. it's not your culture. maybe you're not aware of this, but you're from san diego. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 04:40 AM Yeah. That is a solid point. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 04:42 AM Punk is what white people should do. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 04:45 AM I feel like I can't argue the British thing without sounding horrendously racist BUT BRITISH PEOPLE ARE WHITE LIKE ME Cool As Ice Cream 06-02-2014, 05:22 AM it's not your culture. and punk is shit. "it just doesn't click with me." Elphenor 06-02-2014, 05:31 AM Some of it is shit, for sure. But I live and die by DK Elphenor 06-02-2014, 05:35 AM We're not going to the party We're not going to the game We're not going to the Disco Not gonna cruise that way We're stealing people's mail! Stealing People's mail! On a Friday Night The exploding boy 06-02-2014, 02:03 PM Well it does truly baffle me that there was once a time where young people listened to The Fall. If you expect that in 1980 you'd find a lot of Fall fans among HS kids, you'd be sorely disappointed. not that i was around then, but I think I can easily guess that. Elphenor 06-02-2014, 06:58 PM Mark E. Smith was an international Pop Star in the 80's. SOMEBODY was listening to The Fall. slunken 06-02-2014, 07:07 PM Pffft Elphenor 06-02-2014, 07:33 PM I mean, yeah, most people in the 80's probably never heard of The Fall and listened to MJ and stuff, but The Fall were a popular band and sold out places even in The States. Sonic Johnny 06-02-2014, 09:44 PM Even worse in terms of the "Aww fuck no" reaction is country music or anyobe with a southern accent. Nails on a chalkboard How old are you again??

Elphenor 06-04-2014, 03:29 AM It's not a case of doing what's right It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me Im wrong I don't really care Cool As Ice Cream 06-04-2014, 04:10 AM A black british rapper? Do those exist? what the pavementtune 06-04-2014, 09:01 AM Actually he is spot-on. A black british rapper? Do those exist? No. All the trippityhoppity rappers are just signed to UK labels for tax reasons, really they are all from Mississippi. Or from Alabama, like Tricky. UK music is only white Weltschmerz. Maybe you can go on a semester abroad when you are in college. And then come back and write a hit album about UKIP and British culture. Trotskilicious 06-04-2014, 11:42 AM yeah there are no blacks in england haha lol i mean come on that would be ridiculous Cool As Ice Cream 06-04-2014, 12:11 PM <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FN5ZEHBRnj4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> pavementtune 06-04-2014, 05:08 PM Monie Love forever <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vQNWlesRe7U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> and Roots Manuva. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/v5Bx02u11Fs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Elphenor 06-05-2014, 01:22 AM Also: MOTHERFUCKING TALKING HEADSSSS Elphenor 06-05-2014, 01:36 AM Is there any band more early 20's college male than Talking Heads? There's a "Greatest Hits" copy in every dorm room Ive ever been in The exploding boy 06-05-2014, 01:48 PM I associate Talking Heads with a horrible relationship with a former member of this forum. They have as such been ruined forever. Nah not really...they're alright but never quite got why some people got so obsessive about them. I have to say i am surprised that today's college kids would have talking heads in their collection. Or that they would even own records. I haven't bought any since 2001. Full digital. Turns out i dint give a shit for the material thing. It's just an annoyance. Elphenor 06-05-2014, 03:30 PM You gotta listen to the "The name of this band is Talking Heads" live CD. It's what got me religiously into the group. Elphenor 06-05-2014, 03:41 PM Dude sounds like the perfect example of an anxiety ridden bookish early 20 year old. The delivery and lyrics are so crazily relatable. You can practically feel him shaking with every note. But then the music is groovy arty post-punk so it has this feeling of "cool". And "This must be the place" is crazy beautiful. Trotskilicious 06-05-2014, 04:36 PM Is there any band more early 20's college male than Talking Heads? what you haven't even been to college Elphenor 06-05-2014, 04:56 PM Next week man. Did you go to college Trots? The exploding boy 06-05-2014, 09:02 PM Pretty sure he did Political Science. Another thing I creepily remember. Or misremember maybe. Anyway, yeah you might have also heard of that other live record they made...what was it called again...Oh yeah, Stop Making Sense... Elphenor 06-05-2014, 10:33 PM Yeah, it's not as good Trotskilicious 06-06-2014, 12:00 AM ultimate college boy/liberal arts major band is the decemberists Trotskilicious 06-06-2014, 12:01 AM and yes i graduated, dickhead. I'll be fucking shocked if you do. Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:15 AM Well fuck you too, bro Trotskilicious 06-06-2014, 12:20 AM "poly-sci" i mean seriously what exactly is political about you Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:22 AM Haha. I wouldn't bother with politics on this forum but besides music it's my biggest passion. Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:22 AM Decemberists are okay. I'm Hardcore 06-06-2014, 12:25 AM Haha. I wouldn't bother with politics on this forum because you're that much smarter than everyone? Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:27 AM No practically the opposite reason, it's like redundant given how liberal I am. I'd just be preaching to the choir. The politics section here is just a bunch of agreement. Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:31 AM Like Im not going to launch into some political rant about how everything sucks because the response would just be "Well yeah duh" Trotskilicious 06-06-2014, 12:41 AM have you read the politics board Elphenor 06-06-2014, 12:49 AM I miss the O-board politics section. There was this uber libertarian that was fun to debate and then a couple of bigoted morons to make fun and be entertained by, and then just different shades of liberal. The "Republicans are the same as Democrats" guy. The super moderate liberal who still firmly believes in Capitalism, the psuedo-science spiritual liberal, the "it doesn't matter because corporations own everything and everyone" guy. Etc. Cool As Ice Cream 06-06-2014, 02:42 AM for fuck's sake elphy go to school before you say anything else Elphenor 06-06-2014, 02:51 AM I won't be on here much to say anything once I start school sadly Elphenor 06-07-2014, 05:08 AM Does anyone here like The Soft Boys? Cool As Ice Cream 06-07-2014, 07:13 AM how soft? Trotskilicious 06-07-2014, 03:49 PM the "it doesn't matter because corporations own everything and everyone" guy. Etc. yeah wow, what a dumb guy he must have been :nooooo: mxzombie 06-08-2014, 07:20 PM this thread is just asinine all around. let's leave elphenor to shout out names of bands his peers don't listen to into a void, while reminiscing about a time he never experienced Elphenor 06-08-2014, 07:33 PM What? There's no reminiscing. I just like Gang of Four. I dont give a fuck what "my peers" listen too Elphenor 06-08-2014, 07:35 PM I mean yeah, if you dont wany to talk about post-punk then this thread isn't for you mxzombie 06-08-2014, 09:30 PM In the 80's you could be into rap or you could be into Rock or you could be into post-punk and there were awesome mainstream groups for you and people to associate with. Now there's just Hip-Hop and if you like anything else you mine as well be a metalhead because that's how people will view you. . Elphenor 06-09-2014, 12:05 AM You took that kind of out of context Cool As Ice Cream 06-09-2014, 05:17 AM I dont give a fuck what "my peers" listen too IF YOU CAN SPELL THIS THREAD ISN'T FOR YOU Trotskilicious 06-09-2014, 09:26 AM You took that kind of out of context nah you do this all the time, you speak with authority about things you couldn't <i>possibly</i> know pavementtune 06-09-2014, 09:28 AM speaking of black rappers from the UK (the real topic of this thread) - trots, what do you think of Idris Elba's album? http://www.jamati.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/EP-Artwork-Frontside-300x300.jpg Trotskilicious 06-09-2014, 09:42 AM i think he's an actor pavementtune 06-09-2014, 09:51 AM ha, that sums it up nicely.

I consider most of Scared to dance classic. And while they were identified as punk to me they were always much closer to post punk even on their debut. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9udxbvHiqGw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bbXrFU17ATE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w_exKKPUWlc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And of course there's the saints are coming which even U2 and Green Day still couldnt completely ruin.
