Haha, i really wanted to be able to say this, but it just does not apply.

Pavement is some boring ass bullshit.

If Julian Cope recommends an album it is generally the next thing I buy.

I have a soft spot for late 80's quirky boy/girl bands like Christmas and Glass Eye that I would never pull out in mixed company.

I secretly believe that people who deify the Ramones are simpletons.

I would rather listen to a Louvin Brothers album than Mogwai.

I have every album by The Three O'Clock to include "Vermillion".

Halfway through any given live set I've heard enough and want to go home.

I am filled with liberal guilt that I own and enjoy the first Skrewdriver album.

I suspect that "electronic musicians" are by and large talentless noodlers and refuse to explore the genre.

i prefer music with a trite and overused melody over music with no melody or aimless dissonance. free jazz does nothing for me.

If I started naming all the bands I don't care for that I read about constantly on this board I fear none of you would speak to me again.

My favorite Sonic Youth record is Goo.

i use an actual record player maybe once a year.

You stole mine!

the parameters of my taste make no sense.

i downloaded it, after years i still haven't listened the whole way through, but i've done just enough listening in those years to determine it doesn't merit a purchase on my part.

i would rather listen to a record by some 90s alt-metal band (the deftones, tool, pantera, alice in chains, helmet, soulfly, faith no more, or rage against the machine) than any record by joy division. a sentiment similar to the following:

yea, same here.

yea your suspicions are true. ever been to the live shows? where they seem to be reaching all around and twisting all those knobs? they're really just acting like they're busy, the track is playing off a cd.

aside from running in to dusty groove to pick up the latest issue of wax poetics every couple of months, i haven't been in a record store since 2006. i haven't had time to see a single show this year...
