Huh? Never noticed much negativity here. Lots of "I love such and such" followed by either "Me, too!" or "Never heard of it."
No, not negativity. Overintellectualism.
And, of course, lack of paragraph breaks.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sure, he meant it in fun, but it's that kind of mentality that I think Sean and connie are describing. I know you love the music you love, but it feels like in here, it's the only music worth listening to.
Dude, did you see that list? It had some monster, monster, famoso bands. My mouth was agape reading the list. And P-C was psyched about the recently-formed band with only one full-length album to their name. Which, as an obsessive myself, I can respect, but it's a lot funnier with the context.

Besides the Raveonettes, the only bands I'd even heard of were Iggy Pop and the Strokes, and possibly Bo Diddley. Maybe the Romantics? The Raveonettes were the only ones I'd heard and liked multiple songs by.

I haven't been in the debate in Literary - I've been away for a while - but I have to just jump in to say that to say
It's not so much quashing as fostering an atmosphere in which the only music worth talking about is the classically great stuff, the kinds everyone writes articles about.
About Hec, in particular, is the most absurd thing I've read in a long time. The guy wrote a book about the fricking Archies. The other people I know who are still here -Hayden, Misha, Joe - all have similarly broad tastes.

I'm a bit worried about this paragraph hang-up of yours. Have you seen anyone about it? Or if you're comfortable with it, that's cool, too. The internet's a beautiful thing -- I'm sure you can find some fellow paragraph fetishists.
Just heard: Brando died.
Guess I'll talk about Mojo Nixon and Spike Jones later (and maybe Spike Jonze, too.)

Jim, have I mentioned how much I missed you?

After reading your rant on the Literary thread I thought exactly the same thing, Micha. How's life?
