I told Jim Derogotis that he's a shithead...
 

So I went to see Pearl Jam last night, and outside the venue was that rat fink bastard... Jim Derogotis. He's the one that always gives bad reviews to Sonic Youth and says that Stevey Shell is a shitty drummer. I was really drunk, so I went up to him, tapped him on his fat shoulder, and told him that he was a shit head. I said that Steve Shelley is a great drummer and he didn't know what he was talking about. He said I was wrong but that Steve Shelly is a "really nice guy, but he can't play the drums". I told him he was a shit HEAD one more time for posterity and left it at that.

God I really dislike that smug bastard!

awesome, thats something ive wanted to do for years, specially since he started giving glorious reviews to COURTNEY LOVE (whom he obviously has a hard on for) and praising Kurt Cobain as the holy grail savior of rock from beyond the grave. as much as i love cobain's music... jim's articles about him post-death are excessively creepy and mythologizing. his book is titled "Milk It" which is a pretty apt terms since thats about all journalists are good for.

i ENVY what you did, as its something i considered doing before!

Yeah, I totally saw the chance and ran with it. I'm thinking about stalking him and telling him he's a shithead every day because it felt sooooo nice!

wow man what big balls you have

you are superawesome, i'm sure now you'll be steve shelley's favorite fan

DeRogatis is a hack on many levels.
His book on psychedelia was deservedly and hilariously lambasted in the Wire a while back, which pleased me to no end. His review of the first Terrastock in 1997 was so offbase it made me wonder if he and I were even at the same show. Dorkus Malorkus.

Fuck that guy. How was the show?

I feel like doing the same with all the Pearl Jam fans who i bump into

bravo

i have had an incredibly shit day...and this post just saved it. he went
home and drowned his sorrows in doritos, no doubt.

i remember those bad reviews

dude's out of chicago, right?

nice

Hey Jenn, this is Mike aka eliminator senior from the old board...

I definitely had you in mind when I said it, as I know you dislike the guy even more than I do...

haha

You going to any shows on this tour?

The show was good, not great... tonight will be great!

You can't complain with a three hour set and 29 songs, though.

Are you going to any shows this tour?

you know, i had a feeling it was you...haha. i would have spit in his
face.

going to philly, dc, atlanta, seattle and portland for this tour. also atp
in december. and who knows what the hell else in between. i wish they
were doing something in chicago other than lolla, we'd like to see you
and/or nicole again! wonder if you'll see the peoria dudes.

I wanted to get tix for the MCI Center (or now the "Verizon Center") but the cash flow is low so I'll just have to make do with just seeing SY for now. I'm just glad I had money for that! The new album is rockin'!!! Unemployable is my favorite track. Eddie rules.....what a voice!

havent a clue who he is but yr dead right, well done

the peoria guys seem to always show up in odd places... they are missed, though...

tell patrick i said "hello"...

I saw nicole at a record store recently, but i have a bad feeling that she's far too cool for me now...

I hate posts like this, but you are officially the coolest person on the board.

hey, i had no idea it was you, even after you gave me rep, but then again i am very dense at times, i originally read krastian's birth year as 84, and then i looked at it yesterday and realized it was 82 and he was actually older then me

would be nice if SY does a headlining tour of the Midwest, Jenn even wanted to do Minneapolis, but the mall of america let the lease on camp snoopy go and she is pissed at them

as for nicole................well seems like we won't see her unless some hair police or someone, is opening for them

Was it the "I'm a poor bastard" story?

hi guys - thanks for defending me and all but really i'd be happiest if we just forget about people like this.... sometimes people get off on getting a rise out of you and it's just not worth it.
best to just leave people like this behind and have a good time doing what we do... by the way - see you this summer-

ss

hey steve. i'll be seeing you guys at cbgb's. we'll all enjoy this summer...

Hey steve. Thanks for dropping by.

well the thing that needs to be said about Derogatis is that he works for the Chicago Sun-Times which is a breeding ground for extremely optionated nationally known smucks which include Robert "leak CIA agents identities to ruin lives" Novak, Ebert and Roeper, and for those sports fans the extremely annoying Jay Mariotti (of course you hate hockey, you live in Chicago, you piss your pants in fear at the mere mention of the Red Wings)

and while i am not generalizing, there seems to be a larger prick to person ratio in Chicagoland, hell Pitchforkmedia is based outta Chicago, Brent DiCrescenzo was so bad that even Pitchfork couldn't stand him anymore

stop saying "chicago" in there!

What possibly could be left to say after that?:eek:

snoopy, steve, simpsons...this thread just about has it all!

and for the girl who has everything























a tie rack motor!!

I've come to stop blaming things on cities, though people in chicago are generally meatheads or hipsters....

except for me of course....


I'm a little from column "a" and a little from column "b"

You're not gonna eat all that watermellon Mr. Frampton

well in all honesty, can't say anything bad about DC crowds, how can i, they are all statues

the problem is too much concrete, and not enough dancing

we can get Allison from Partyline to Kick Asses with Girls in Glasses

"Hello", "Hello", "Hello"

(Imitating Barney, Moe, etc. calling on Partyline)

you do notice Steve is the only one enjoying the watermellon, he can watch fat guys being hit by cannonballs without losing his lunch

which sonic youth member can spit watermelon seeds the fartherest? there's one habib should ask in that promised upcoming Q & A session.

I'd bet on Thurston, as he has the keen drooling factor...

Did I get my Simpson's moment right?

you did, indeed...you study the tao of homer well.

I've never heard of that stupid fuck and I'm not tryin' to either.

For the record Jim Derogatis is the most retarded journalist whose writing ever graced a blank page.The man is so conservative and anti-technology he makes me think he wouldnt know what to do if his washing machine broke down.Give me Simon Reynolds any time
