You’re right. I am trying to troll you. Because it’s hysterical. I’m sorry.
Wait come back. We need to define “personally”.
Definition: //All of MY favorite bands skip right past AZ, right past Tucson. And if by chance, they actually decide they WANT to come play here, when “stars” is trying to “boycott” Arizona for political reasons they can’t relate to and pretend to care about, to try and prevent MORE bands from avoiding my home…. it fills me with “useless negativity”// (via you).
Alternate definition: //…Who the fuck are you stars? Good, don’t come here. Nobody gave a fuck about you before you decided to start talking about “boycotting AZ”. If you didn’t come here, unannounced, nobody would even give a shit. I don’t give a shit, fuck you stars. “Oh some piece of shit Canadian isn’t gonna come to AZ??…//(via you).
Mark, buddy, I hear your frustration. It’s been a long time since bands you love like Avenged Sevenfold and Nickelback played the booming metropolis of Tucson. But why all the anger? Can’t other human beings have opinions that aren’t yours? I know they’re partially Canadian and your soul patch told you that it makes them “pieces of shit” (your words), but that doesn’t make them any less entitled to valid thoughts. I’m guessing you’ve never been to Iraq and Afghanistan, but you still have a very ALL-CAPS on what goes on over there, right? It clearly takes you a lot of time to do your hair in the morning, so while you’re working on your blow-out give your attitude some thought and maybe try to be a little more constructive.
Kayll,
If you’re going to bring social theory into the argument, do it right and not just to pin a ribbon on your (all-too-obvious) political stance. Race is a social construct, but as such has power when named. The fact of the matter is that the Arizona legislature allows for prodding and analysis by police officers based on any factor they deem appropriate without any other cause. The implication therein is that authorities will be able to visually decide who to check for documentation, which by definition lends itself to racial profiling.
Furthermore, your rhetoric surrounding allowing people to immigrate to the US is also steeped in a “made up thing of society” (or social construct, as we call it). That “thing” is borders. Nation-state style borders controlled by centralized governments claiming ownership over the right to allow people to cross from one area of land to another is an entirely socially created idea, and a fairly modern one at that (c. 1700).
If you don’t agree with the legislation because you support closed borders and “national security,” that’s fine. But don’t ignore the grander picture just because you do, and check your constitution and history books before you make such brash statements.
Live show was the weirdest thing ever. I saw them (w/ [reportedly] Beck wearing that damn mask) at Casbah in San Diego. About 10 minutes in the projected visuals turned into a slew of 80s sex scenes and workout pornos combined with continuous chatroulette that seemed to only linger on masturbation. Musically, it was way more dissonent than the stuff released so far, almost to the point of head explosion.
It seriously doesn’t matter how many times you try to reiterate that Congratulations was “the right record”, 98% of its listening audience will be nauseated by it.
Shockingly mediocre.
Dude, Ty, you’re a dick.
I have a hard time believing this is real at all. I like PP, but this freakin’ blows.
So I suppose instead you would rather David Letterman host good bands like Andrew Bird and Radiohead all the time, right? Because only you like good music, and everyone who rides a fixie or listens to VW or is different can just go to hell, right?
Colbert is official.
I question Paramore making the Top 20. I’m a closet fan (ridicule please), but Brand New Eyes was kind of a lame duck besides the lead single. The list is impressively broad and sufficiently fair, though I would like to see a less commercial version of a list with the same variety.
And where the heck is Manchester Orchestra? They’ve been snubbed from pretty much every list despite a really solid album.
Seriously, that song is great. Feels like Ke$ha for hipsters who are pissed that [/\/\/\Y/\] went off the deep end. If that whole album is good, Uffie could be the real deal.
