when I logged on this morning I found an advertisement for what looked like a pretty good concert. Initially I was excited and glad that you guys had this feature. Then i looked more closely.

The show is in LA.
I live in Madison, Wisconsin.

so what i'm asking is… before you advertise this sort of thing could you PLEASE figure out where I live? America is not Luxembourg, I can't bike across it if I want too.

Thank you very much,

Cale

i'm attempting to make a fairly objective review of fall out boys new album. I tried to emphasize the positive and highlight the better bands that the good tracks were derivative of.

thriller -
opening up, random voices in the background, they're pretending to be a rap album complete with shoutouts. lol! so original!
simplistic guitars, repetitive drums. Everything is very fuzzy and distorted to cover up a lack of effort. Seriously, this hasn't even risen to the level of bad, it's half assed boring

the take over, the break's over
opens with a much better (at least interesting)…

so I just rebought closer.
Joy Divisionis the one band that sounds even better on shitty speakers.

god I love Ian Curtis

so apparently I'm a reverse poser. I walk around all day listening to neil perry, hot cross, the khayembii comunique and funeral diner on my ipod and then as soon as I get on a last.fm equipped computer its all brand new/taking back sunday

I'm not really sure what this means.

p.s. you and i have some of the most amazing lyrics ever and i really love them
(also i've been getting more and more into the kodan armada both for their wonderful 80s reference in the name and their sheer awesomeness)

this is one of those random 'tribute posts'

seriously, why is gray matter so unbelievably awesome. When i picked up the food for thought/take it back comp from dischord…well, idk it's kinda really really really amazing. This band just kinda exemplifies what fun hardcore should sound like. I mean they're probably a litttttle emotional for that genre, but i just kinda feel like flailing about wildly in the worst of my white boy dance stylings every time i listen to them.

other little known but amazing bands
teen idles also, just plain fun. Especially adventure. Probably one of the best…

not really

i just can't believe i hadn't got into a day in black and white before now.

p.s. of montreal's live shows are reaallly cracked out. instead of being accopelley goodness it was … idk, the blood brothers but more melodic and on lsd.

oh and for the record only idiots take pitchfork or pavement seriously. I was listening to pavement a bit and reading pitchfork reviews while deciding this.

(seriously, use more than 4 chords, k thanks?)
that said they get stuck in my head a lot. I kinda plan on destroying stephen malkmus and with him…

I kinda hate everyone on this site

if you could remove any one musical group from the course of histroy, who and why?

I'll start, the ramones, i hate what they did to punk (i.e. turning it into a bunch of corporate bitches with no talent or emotion)

I mean seriously

why does anyone even bother listening to bands like indian summer or saetia or sunny day real estate? you can barely understand them, all you hear is a hissing and possibly someone singing. seriously, it's the same thing with cap'n jazz the promise ring union of uranus and rites of spring. you just can't identify with music you can't hear.

i mean, this is exactly why bands with pure undiluted emotion like the killers and fall out boy are huge right now (not to mention the dance pop emotion perfection of: Panic! at the Disco…

As I effortlessly freed my corneas and exposed this young man's collection of rods and cones to the flowing rays of sunlight this ante meridiem, a simple proverb rippled throughout my central nervous system like a message in a bottle, lost at sea. "He who first votes for the noose is the first to deserve the noose." You might dismiss such a substantial epiphany as puerile or perhaps vacuous at best, but I must assure you that such a colloquialism sojourns itself at an opportune place and time, for these years that we live in, decades of strife and ceaseless…
