I just heard the strokes new album and it sounds like a shitty watered down "is this it." Now i have to deal with another year of their ugly mugs all over magazines. They fucking suck.
I heard the old album and they sucked then.

There's no doubt that these guys are THE most overrated band in my short lifetime...but that being said, I still have enjoyed both of their albums tremendously. Nowhere NEAR being as good as the press would have you believe, but better than a good 95% of the sonic dung being chucked at us on a near-daily basis.
Puddle of Mudd/Creed/Sum 41/Hoobastank/Nickleback/Evenesance or The Strokes? Gee, can I think about it?

So, we all agree these guys suck. I love it when the board comes together.
I think I might have to start liking them to be unique and thus cool.

i thought their first album was great. very derivative, but if you're gonna be derivative be derivative of great bands. ok so they were so derivative they would have been like the official band of orange county, california circa 1994.
but the band that keeps getting better, like better than to GTO in the phillips commercial, getting better all the time is the white stripes. behind that base (less) red and white they rock. their album elephant is one of my favorites of the year.
you know it's tricky to speculate on bands. all you stroke-o-phobes, what do you like? probably the shit that mojo references, that generic non interest bearing crap. you know who's stock is going to blow up like nitro (without getting anything stuck in its windpipe slow? my morning jacket, kings of leon and the amazing ebay when pierre o. was still an undergrad in my class at tufts (the jumbos=elephant i tied that in nicely)...drive by truckers. you listen to me the dbt's are no flash in the pan. are they derivative too? well um, yeah i would guess and i imagine you would hate them if you don't like great live bands fronted by three guitarists and who have a stellar double album out called that is a HOMAGE see i pushed the shift key to lynerd skynerd (you have trouble spelling that then just remember ly and sky and add nerd at the end of them. and their new album is awesome and has the best song of the year on it. Sounds like the best stones song you never heard.
i know this shit. i was listening to U2 when bono was still with cher and cher's daughter was still confused about penises and bonobos and penis fencing and such. bonobos penis fence you know. chastity does not. she and newt's sister and dick cheny's daughter. i have nothing wrong with that. i mean melissa etheridge is derivative but she sucks. but what about sleater kinney. check them out too. they did a cover of more than a feeling by boston. talk about a generic band. they went to mit. and if you actually were dyslexic (not that there's anything wrong with that) you might say tim instead and speaking of tim what about the replacements? matthew sweet, rem, teenage fanclub, they are derivative in their way. what i'm saying is there's nothing wrong with wearing your influences on your sleeve as long as that shit is good. teenage fanclub's songs from northern britain is only one of the best albums ever well at least in the past 20 years. ever hear of a guy named thom yorke? that's his favorite album. so pick up that album and you'll maybe go "sounds like a hybrid between big star the byrd's sweetheart of the rodeo. what the hell's wrong with that. i just don't think you get any flava tat mit. dr. bose is a professor there the stuff's too vanilla. but you have harvard and luna and galaxie 500 nothing wrong with them. and my alma mater produced guster which were called gus back in my day.
i was listening to dinosaur before they went jr. and j was only smoking 20 bowls a day. derivatives are risky yes in the market but i'm telling you i'm the warren buffet when it comes to music. yeah i loved pavement but i was listening to the fall before that. saw uncle tupelo at a fraternity house in '92. i have built to spill's first album on vinyl and the cd and before that was seeing treepeople and have the nirvana/jesus lizard split cause i got it for the lizard. i was into brother iz before he was fat. i was into sigur ros before the lead singer came out of the closet, and i think that was like when he was 6 and still singing in an language that resembled icelandic. but they are cocteau twins + my bloody valentine + bjork + sigfreid and roy before he got all bloody. and what's wrong with that.
dude look at the sunrise. ain't that enough?
that shit mojo's talking about that blink 182 shit might as well be on blink 102.7. that stuff is having its day but history will look back and its significance and its going to be tantamount to long term capital management. All fred durst and shit. go get all meriwether on me see if i care. In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they

I say we take over Blink like they did in Airheads and let The Chairman run the station. If I could find a station that played Sleater Kinney, Teenage Fanclub and Dinosaur Jr. I would be very happy.
NY needs a station that would shed some light on the GOOD music out there today. BRMC and the Ravonettes should be heard! South should be on the radio. Enough with Linkin Park and P.O.D.
A little Sonic Youth wouldnt hurt...

ÿ Chairman, it's past your bedtime. You're rambling.
I prefer the term spewing .
Either way, at 4AM, what do you expect me to do?
In any case the warm milk didn't work last night. But I downloaded this new beta of an anti-spew software and put my earlier post through it and it came up with:
I like the new Strokes album.
OK, I guess that could have worked too. I could also start a topic in the wrestling thread or one about what I ate today. I pick and choose.
The point of the post was to commincate that I liked the new Strokes album... in the style of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, since I was still a(wake) at 4AM. FW is to the night as Ulysses is to the day. It's a dream.
I took the statement "I like the new Strokes album" structured that around a recursive temporal spiral, overlaying an archetypally-driven consciousness matrix. See I was on a matrix kick yesterday.
So my post started out with a linear declarative about the Strokes and I applied phenomenology/holism as opposed to the other reductionist posts.
If I'm taking up too much bandwith? please send me a PM and advise me not to have Ramble On on heavy rotation. Or wait, maybe I could post annotations? Hmmm..
I actually received 4 IM's/PM's yesterday from people (apparently insomniacs too) who told me they read the Board and don't post and understood exactly what I was doing and liked it. Trailing on my other post, we discussed quantum reality theory and cyborg anthropology, which, again relates to issues raised in The Matrix.
The only thing I regret is that the weather was lousy this am so there wasn't enough sunrise. it wasn't enough.
See you have people who like wrestling and you have people who like PS2 and you have people who like Rush and The Matrix and some who like some of those but not others (like me) and people who love people (but not Barbra Streisand) and then you got your polymaths. But we are family Sister Sledge.
Ok just one more item. If you like movies, did anyone see 12 Monkeys? It's all about recursive temporal symmetry.
I'll leave off with:

Sleater Kinney
I saw them open for Pearl Jam this summer. I don't know if they just suck live or actually suck, but it was not a pretty site. And this includes when they joined in PJ's encore. The singer ruined a rare live performance of Hunger Strike and everything.
