I dunno, it just seems like smiting him is kinda like using that third wish to make your head into an orange.

hey, i'd rather have ted leo over for dinner than smite him. i was responding to someone else's post.

Fiery Furnaces - Sounds like a Teacher playing Joan Baez covers to a full house of bored and disturbed 5th Graders. Nothing "Blues" about it, nothing of value either; other than vomit-inducing.

is particularly well thought out:

a) if you're an anarchist, how do you 'go into politics'?
b) should anybody expressing a political opinion go into politics or shut the fuck up?

doofus

Y'know, dubversion, this is a pretend game.

Revrant Meat can't really get rid of Crass.

Lighten up.

1) yo la tengo - fuck 'em
2) the frames
3) the shins

thank you very much.

I'm trying to think of three bands/artists without whom the whole of music would benefit. Each should be shitty in its own right, and should also have spawned shittier imitators still. To wit:

1. Pearl Jam - One may be inclined to blame Nirvana for Pearl Jam, but not me. Pearl Jam birthed the entire dubious facial hair/goofy hat alternative rock faction. Eliminating Pearl Jam would also rid us of the likes of Alice in Chains, Candlebox, the Band Whose Name Escapes Me that Featured Bee Girl Dork in its video, ad nauseum.

2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fathered phony honky funk punk fusion. Eliminating the Red Hot Chili Peppers would wipe out scores of irritating assholes, from Jane's Addiction to Eminem.

3. The Strokes - They've just replaced Eddie Money on this list. Begat entire nu punk movement, in which fashion is punk. Man, music could sure do without these creeps.

believe me, don. that fucking hat thing is alive and well in the pacific northwest. at first it makes me feel strong and cool, seeing those people. then it makes me feel cold and afraid. and wet.

Are you insane or ironic?

Please advise.

3) Zappa.



Fucking awesome. I knew it was worth holding out on that third vote. i voted not crap for him, but technically elimination of zappa would immediately relieve me of minor annoyances. I vote petty. not tom, but petty.


recap:
1)Pearl Jam
2)Cap'n Jazz
3)Zappa


what a fun game! I feel better already!
