I just wanted to drop in past my bedtime and brag about how I just saw MF Doom, Flying Lotus and Shabazz Palaces my last night in Paris, and first of all: amazing, but also: Shabazz Palaces blew me and everyone else the fuck out of the water. Holy shit! And I met Ishamel after very briefly and talked to him about loop pedals. It was here that I learned of their greatness, and it was here that propelled me (well, MF doom…) to buy tix for the show, so thanks Stereogum. And also, holy fuck go see those guys. They do ridiculous things. So much auxilliary percussion! I’m blown away.

IT WOULD HELP

Hey where are all the downvotes? I can read almost all the comments in this thread still.

I’m So going to this.

No really, I am actually going to this…Big Time.

Wow, that’s intense – I assume this is a band finale and not an actual marriage break-up? Those two could not have seemed more consistently and constantly in love and into playing music together – both on stage and off. Glad I got to see them a bunch! I second the Wolf Parade comeback.

NO SCRUBS

 +11Posted on May 16th | re: NME's 100 Best Tracks Of The '90s (120 comments)

90. A Tribe Called Quest – “Can I Kick It?”
45. TLC – “No Scrubs”

Why would I even bother with the rest of this list? All I have to do is go straight for No Scrubs, note what is beneath it, and then dismiss everything.

Also, Bon Iver is too high.

Those must be from her haute couture collection. You can tell because they lack bloodstains.

Pail Kids (also known as “The Garbage Gang” in Australia & New Zealand and later United Kingdom versions, “La Pandilla Basura” (The Garbage Gang) or “Basuritas” (Trashlings) in Latin America, “Gang do Lixo” (Trash Gang) in Brazil, “Sgorbions” (“Snotlings”) in Italy, “Les Crados” (The Filthies) in France, and “Die total kaputten Kids” (The Totally Broken Kids) in Germany) is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985 and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls created by Xavier Roberts which were immensely popular at the time.

I still don’t see the joke being at the expense of MCA though. A -114 comment should be “MCA was a dick and we’re better off without him”

which, you know what…I still wouldn’t downvote because it’s an opinion. As much as I loved the Beasties I really don’t take offense when someone feels otherwise. Neither of us knew the guy personally. Again it’s the Steve Jobs scenario – technically speaking, I feel that guy was a dick and we’re better off without him. I probably wouldn’t rush to an apple-focused forum and write that, but whatever. My opinion is still as valid as the alternative. Death doesn’t equal martyrdom. If you know people involved you owe them your thoughts and patience. That’s about all anyone is owed. The dead don’t feel. They don’t read Stereogum either.

Anyways, all I’m saying is that I’m disappointed in the reaction to that particular comment. Not the follow up, but the single initial joke alone was simply not offensive enough to deserve that level of scorn.

i stand by my assertion that you were so totally unnecessarily attacked for an innocuous joke. Don’t take it personal, a lot of peeps like to be pretend offended by silly shit. It’s not the downvotes that even matter, it’s the unnecessary conversation. It’s telling that the highest rated comment is someone explaining how being offended works. Ridiculous, guys! I am disappoint.

You left out ->The New Poop Factories

The Originals -> The New Originals -> the Thamesmen -> Spinal Tap

Technically, it is not Tom’s job to “report news” since he’s not a news reporter. I’m not defending the tone (well, I think Tom’s free to have any tone he likes just as you’re free to read or stop reading this blog), but let’s all just back up a second and remember this is an indie music blog and not, in fact, a newspaper.

I would hazard a guess that Laura put some time and thought into this decision and did some research.

Nah, you know what…I’ll be the one guy who upvoted this. Fuck it. I laughed too. Grow a sense of humour guys. it’s a comment board. Holy moley. 77 downvotes? It wasn’t even a disrespectful joke towards MCA…it was a HOLOGRAM joke. Some of you are going to the funeral I take it? Man.

Plants and Animals are awesome, and fairly big here, and also considering they’re hometown montrealers I believe, Osheaga would for sure give them a high billing.

Billy Corgan’s ghost

“Guys, I’m…hey I’m still alive!”

Ha ha, that is classic Billy Corgan’s ghost right there.
