If i see another thread about......
 

....Dinosaur Jr , Nirvana,Courtney Love or Pavement i think that i might puke up my lunch.Is there any need to say the obvious things about these musicians anymore than has been said a trillion times before?How awfully tedious and narrow minded of some of you.

I was thinking of starting a thread about having a moratorium on several of these artists as well. I would include MBV and JAMC too, fan though I am.

That's my point.I'm actually a Nirvana and JAMC fan too but,christ,this is getting to the point of debating the blatantly uninteresting and the easily googled stuff.Is Courtney Love a saint,a whore or a clever business woman?Who cares?

+1 from me on that one.

Hey porkmarras - love yr avatar, using as my desktop background now, as well as, I wouldn't say girlfriend, but definitly someone I've been hanging out/having fun with as well as confiding in. I'm guessing you got it from the eMOMA site, non?

I see more "list" or "favorite ________" threads encouraging regurgitation of canonized bands than I see actual threads dedicated to said bands.

I remember a David Lynch thread that was, like, ahhhh, so totally interesting with some very well crafted arguments.

Perhaps a commitee should be assembled to autopsy past interesting threads and discover the anatomy of a splendid thread then report their findings wearing tweed vests and monocles and making sporting use of cigarette holders for the ladies and pipes for the gentlemen, as well as devilishly well timed single eyebrow raises.

Many people on this forum seem to be failed painters, photographers etc. I wouldn't mind seeing more art related (history/obscure cool or partially cool artists/homemade stuff) threads.

And food. Their was a thread with recipes on it once, by Jove!

Atari's picks are lovely too...

I'd pay anyone to tell me something about Kurt Cobain or Jesus And Mary Chain that i don't know already.

Jim Reid can trace his roots directly back to Bonnie Prince Charlie, and can recite his family tree from memory. That'll be £5, please.

Do you accept crisps?

If i see another thread about...... porkmarras

No. But I will take chocolate.

uh?

something you did not know about jesus and mary chain

they were originally called Jesus and Mary DAISY chain








;)

There you go.You really know how to earn them.

Ok,i'll offer to sleep with the first person who tells me why Kevin Shields liked sleeping during the day so much.

I've never seen a tumbleweed. I want one

I'm coming.

is that jackie chan?

^ Yes yes yes yes.

Was it Toilet & Bowels (under an old alias) who started helpfully posting links on the old board to the nirvana's own message boards when the nirvana-mania all got a bit overwhelming? I seem to remember that upsetting quite a few people.

I thought that it was that Leatherneck guy but i'm not sure.Wasn't the thread called 'Hey Nirvana fans,guess what?' and then you opened it and the first post said:'Nirvana have their own forum!'.Something amusing like that.

That was the one. But I can't remember whose it was.

Hmm... I wonder if maybe I just have more of a life than the people this kind of thing bothers. I just generally ignore these threads (re Nirvana, MBV, et al) and figure the poor saps are finally catching on to some of the good stuff the rest of us already know and love.

True.

Some web sites I know, fascist admin types would be in there scrounging around and deleting a bunch of this. At least here there's a health amount of free speech, if not necessarily always a healthy amount of respect for it. :)

mmmm, i go away for 2 days and come back and surprisingly alot has happened on here. Cantankerous came back! can't believe it!

Hey, what about me! I came back, too. Cantankerous gets a warm reception but not me?

Gosh, you guys...:(

One step up and two steps back

Doncha just love nonsequitors!

the difference is that people actually wanted you to come back :)

Well, that's very kind of you to say. But what would this place be without Cantankerous?

I did a search google/image for "gmku" and this image came up

Hey, that's me! First row, second from the left. Oh, I'm going to have to find a better shade of lipstick...

kinda like it was before she was here. people talking about music etc. i do like her, i am just disappointed in her.

She means well.

Welcome back! Keep in mind that you did get an entire thread.

yes agree with a lot on this thread. there are only so many times that the same ground can be gone over and the same subjects discussed before it starts to get really boring. i am pretty sick of hearing it to be honest. i wish people would open themselves up to newer types of music and embrace different genres because a lot of nirvana fans claim to be so 'alternative' but shut themsleves off from so much because the band didnt like it or something. open your ears!

Uh, whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Inhuman...

I can see this point. One alternative is to have a bunch of tight-assed admins delete all duplicate threads and anything else that doesn't conform to their personal likes. Then this place could be just like RYM. So...
