Ranking oppressed groups wasn't my idea, dude. I'm making fun of it. If you don't like the way diversity pimps see the world, go bitch at them about it.
Another thought, though, is that a heck of a lot of black men are self-confident enough not to let the diversity faggots bully them anyhow. But that's a separate discussion.
Don't be dense, white men don't get to do that shit. Diversity stuff is about who's the bigger victim, and therefore gets to shit on the other guy.
So the question is whether black trumps gay or vice versa. A black football player recently got sent to re-education for saying something about gays, so gays apparently outrank black men. Black women, however, are women as well as black, so that's two diversity points to one. On the other hand, "woman" doesn't outrank "black" either. So it's two low-ranking diversities vs. one high-ranking diversity. Are "woman" and "black" each worth more than half of "gay"? From the reaction on twitter, it looks like the two add up to less than one full "faggot".
Good thing she didn't get in a fight with a black gay man. A black gay man would massively outvictim a black straight woman.
Masculine women can be great in bed, but they're a pain in the ass in the long run. Endless drama. If you like that kind of thing, have fun with it. You get a little older, you get tired of it.
The riot grrl fad had was only peripherally associated with music.
"Last Splash" was a landmark, but girls haven't done anything else interesting since then. To be fair, not a lot of men have done any interesting music lately either.
P.S. The one from Portlandia is in the middle, but who's the one on the far right? Not bad! I'd've totally done her, as long as she didn't have tattoos. Fuck that nasty tattoo shit.
The riot grrrl scene was a revolution on par with ’77 punk or the first wave of American hardcore
Are you fucking kidding? The riot girl thing was a bunch of dumb middle class teenage attention whores writing on themselves with Sharpies. True, some of them whored for attention by starting joke bands like Bratmobile; who cares? Sleater-Kinney's music was never better than mediocre, but they stand out among their peers by being competent musicians. Whatever they did, they'd have done it anyway. But it had was a forgettable musical dead end, so nobody actually cares. There's more lasting value in any given episode of Portlandia than in the entire riot gril catalog, including everything S-K did.
Riot grlism was what the 90s had instead of duckface selfies on Facebook. Pull the other one.
In fairness, the first wave of American hardcore was mostly a pile of shit, too. But as a male-driven pile of shit, it was a pile of shit about making lousy music instead of narcissistic self-display.
"Sea Change" sounds like a very good record if you haven't yet heard "The Boatman's Call". Then, it's like... Oh, now I get it. Yeah, I'd like to have made that record too. Then it's hard to enjoy, even "The Golden Age", which is objectively a very good song.
The problem with Beck is when he makes records that sound original and interesting, he does the dumb nonsense-lyric gimmick, which gets in the way.
"Transmissions", "Hit to Death", and "Clouds Taste Metallic" are the top three. The rest are unlistenable shit. They're not a band since Ronald left, just a boring in-joke.
Cave can turn awkward lyrics into a virtue on material like "We Call Upon the Author". But sometimes he screws it up so badly I can't even listen. A decent singer can always turn extra syllables into triplets or start ranting, but when you're a few syllables short, you can't fix that. At least he knows enough not to shit melisma all over the thing.
This isn't a new band. They were pretty well known, back in the 90s, in some circles, and then stopped recording around the end of that decade. The stuff they did back then sounded a lot like this -- very new and exciting back in 1993 or 1994 when they were touring clubs. They're emblematic of a decade that's been over for twelve years now. It's still a lot of fun -- once you got past the dumb corporate profit-margin shit like Nirvana, you have no idea how much FUN music could be back then -- but it's not exactly the next big thing any more.
So I was making kind of a joke about older men listening to old music by old men from the old days when we came of age. Sorry that wasn't clear.
No, it's embarrassingly bad. She has a weak voice and sings like an amateur. Maybe she can do better, but this is just painful to listen to.
She's easy on the eyes, but pretty girls on TV are a dime a dozen.
Ha ha, all the cockeyed, idealistic dreamers I ever knew, they fucked up everything they touched, then they called me to borrow money after I told them I was done with their shit. And that's OK. Without useless annoying assholes like that, rock and roll is just another bootlicking bullshit entertainment industry career path, which, fuck that bullshit. I'll take the honest useless assholes over the careerist useless assholes, thanks.
Signing a contract with a record company isn't like signing a contract with human beings, or even a halfway normal soulless corporation. Fuck Epic any way you can, boys, that's the business they chose to be in, and the only way you can stop 'em from fucking you before you fuck them is to fuck them really, really fast.
You have to understand that Russians haven't spent the last two hundred years being brainwashed with bullshit corporate free-market propaganda. They value and appreciate their government, even if it's arguably not perfect. We could learn from that, at least.
No, it isn't. These kids are the equivalent of the Tea Partiers in the US. If we could throw those shitbirds in jail when they disrespect their President, this would be an infinitely better country.
I have to agree with jro5. Germany in 1939 is a perfect metaphor: Hitler built giant stadiums for the Olympics in 1936. Britain builds giant stadiums for the Olympics in 2012. DUH! HELLO? OBVIOUS ENOUGH YET?
