I have finally decided to create a music blog. I have no idea how often I'll be posting but it'd be really cool if some people checked it out, maybe even left feedback etc. I can't say too much here because it's against rules but there may be some free treats in store at times. Not PJ stuff though. That would just be wrong. You kids keep buying that shit now ;)

Only one post as of yet, and it's certainly the most I've ever written about 2 songs before but it's a great single.

    Knock yourself out. Back your vitriol up with intelligent and thought-provoking analyses of WHY I'm a hipster though. At least make the comments interesting to read :D

    Anyways, there's fuck all hip about The Weirdos. No one liked them then, no one likes them now :)

    But that's what makes these dudes hip, man. Hip to hipsters is obscurity ;):D
    Enjoy...I'll go back to my Black Sabath albums :D
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Sure but there should at least be a small hardcore of pseudo-arty types going around and proclaiming their genius in the face of overwhelming indifference from the general public (instead of one... me), rather than there being 10 people left who saw them live who HAVEN'T died of a heroin overdose :D

    By the way, I LIKE Sabbath :) There's no reason why you can't like both.

    i've never heard of them, which i imagine will be the case with just about every entry you post. so i won't be able to post any facts.

    what analysis would be thought-provoking? my proof you're a hipster: 95% of the bands you praise have sold fewer combined records than the number of carrots i had for lunch ;)

    actually,as I mentioned the Sabs, and even tho I have more interest in Lithuanian politics than I have in jazz, I would say that Bill Ward could have been a jazz drummer. He was a very cool drummer..this is a nice little example of what I mean :)

    uh... newsflash, you ARE the small hardcore of pseudo-arty types doing this. you are not the general public! i am the general public... i'm listening to jay-z right now and i'm skipping to buckcherry next mofo! :)

    I only praise those bands BECAUSE they aren't well known, and I feel they should be. The rest of the bands and artists that make up my listening don't really need someone shouting in their corner. My most-played artist on last.fm is the highest selling hip-hop artist of all time. He doesn't need me to go out and spread the word :D

    The misconception that anyone who professes to enjoy music that tends towards the obscure can't also like the same music as anyone else is just daft. The whole point is that I like to hear as much of everything as I can. It's got fuck all to do with being hip, I'm VERY tempted for example to post my lengthy and highly complimentary review of Fall Out Boy's last album on my blog, just because, to date, it's probably the finest piece of writing I have ever come up with about a band. If that won't kill off any chance of a grasp for underground writing heroism, I don't know what could :D

    If I am digging the fuck out of an ABBA album, I'll write about it, I just probably won't post a link to a download for ABBA Gold because, frankly, what's the point. There's a million of them out there :)

    I said "(instead of one... me").

    Get your reading glasses out before you start being a smart-ass ;)

    Also, I listened to Reasonable Doubt yesterday. Like I said, these things aren't exclusive. You can listen to Jay-Z AND The Weirdos. This music wasn't made to be shied away from by any prospective listener, lest some person with delusions of being an "everyman" comes along and accuses them of being a hipster. Who gives a fuck? That's a fine way to miss out on a lot of great music.

    Definitely a great drummer. I never really paid much attention to Sabbath, other than Paranoid which I bought when I was 15 or something, until I started hearing 90s "stoner" metal and realised the bands were basically just playing Sabbath slower and heavier, and taking lyrical inspiration from Sweet Leaf. Never was a stoner myself but the slow, heavy, crushing stuff appeals to me :)

    you gonna upload the music you blog? cos I did´ne see no link.

    If I ever download then, I promise to cuss or venerate your verbose analysis with some thought and time as best I can, unless the vexation gets the better of me where yer´ll get the kinda useless shit I post here.

    That medieval choral music you posted one time was friggin painful, whereas the 70s jàpanese psychedelic rockgroup were great.

    nah, it's Jay-Z's debut album. Catch22 was attempting to make me seem like someone who is too ashamed to listen to popular music but sort of failed :)

    The link for the download is in the comments section. It should say "1 comments" at the bottom of the page.

    I don't remember the choral music I posted but as for the japanese album, it really is brilliant. I might upload that on the blog sometime, if only because I'd love to write a superlative-laden, hipster stream-of-consciousness about how it makes me feel ;)

    I don't listen to JayZ, not because he's popular, just because I think he's shit...but that's obviously imo :o
    I do like MCR tho, my daughter has their cd's, I like them a lot :) and they're popular...so that counts me out of the hipster running :p

    I don't like Jay-Z's stuff these days, only his debut. Reasonable Doubt was from a time when mainstream rap was of a far higher quality in general, including his. Now to find good hip-hop, you HAVE to be a hipster :p You won't find any in the charts.

    Having said that, I'm thinking you're not a big hip-hop guy anyway :)

    Not an MCR man myself, a bit too much theatricality for me. It's like, if you want that, go for early 70s Alice Cooper, am I right? :)

    Having said that, I will defend Fall Out Boy til I die, and saying that in the company of anyone who takes music remotely seriously is tantamount to saying you like sex with animals or the Godfather III. Not quite sure why. Amazing pop tunes, don't take themselves too seriously. Everyone needs that every now and then, even me :p

    yeah, I love the early Alice stuff :) and MCR, tho I don't put it on, if she has it on it is passable, enjoyable enough, I don't pay too much heed, just that it's ok...better than what they usualy listen to :D
    Did I ever tell you I saw Busted and also Mcfly live ? ;):D I have no hipster credibility whatsoever.

    your misconception is that those of us who don't care a damn for obscure music are somehow missing out. i've never woken up feeling a longing ache at the fact that i hadn't heard a weirdos song. thus my annoyance with hipsters has nothing to do with what music they listen to... it's the condescending attitude that they know what music i should listen to, the pitying looks they give those who haven't heard of a band like the weirdos. the way they take so much puffed up pleasure in preaching about how criminally underrated a band is or how it deserves to be oh so famous because they, unlike the ignorant masses, spend 15 hours a day listening to records so that they can find the one nobody has heard of and point out how everyone should have... when the fact is that 9 times out of 10, there's a very good reason no one has ever heard of these bands.

    leatherface or muclusky? anyone?
    just sayin, "mush" by leatherface is pretty much my most favourite album ever, 'part from the slightly butchered version of "message in a bottle" at the end...

    It's nothing to do with a misconception that you give a damn at all, my posts are not for people like you who have no desire to listen to new things, they are for people who are willing to hear new things without feeling like it's a battle against their own aesthetic of musical simplicity. Your militant opting out of listening to anything with outside appeal makes you twice as much the hipster in your own way as I am, and you know it damn well. I have no desire to preach to the unwilling. You can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned. It's nothing to do with being condescending. Please note one moment I have been like that in this entire thread. It's to do with enjoying a band or album enough to wish to share it, and if no one is interested, that is fine. You are the one with the problem, not me, ok? Read and download if you want. My pity for you isn't to do with that fact that I feel you are somehow musically unfulfilled, it's that every concept that is introduced to you by anyone but yourself must be treated as a fight. That's pretty sad. Stay away if that's what makes you happy, ok? I couldn't give a shit. :)

    i highlighted the condescending part... the part where you say a band should be famous, like you know what everyone should like ;)

    i just enjoy giving people like you a hard time, it's nothing personal :) i'm not sure what you mean an unwillingness to listen to anything with outside appeal... what is outside appeal? i just find it kinda goofy how serious some people take indie music, like it's a crime that people don't devote several hours each day to compulsively finding, listening to, and evaluating new music. like those people aren't really living unless they've heard the sweet nothing's obscure number 9999 single on original vinyl. it's absurd. but then, i don't take much of anything seriously.

    it just seems to me a strange obsession. like stamp collecting or any other neurotic obsession. i have my own... weird cd buying habits, compulsive book buying, the way i read books. i know it's absurd and i laugh about that, but it makes me happy. doesn't mean i take it too seriously.

    i listen to music different i guess. i don't spend hours listening to single songs while poring over lyrics or artwork. i listen to albums, for mood or for the sound or for fun. and i can't resist poking people who get really wound up about things... be it you and your indie music addiction or drifting and his political conspiracies. true believers are just too much fun to mess with ;)
    and like that... he's gone.

    I find people like YOU amusing, the ones who judge all music that is not generally accepted into the mainstream, popular canon, and those people that listen to it, as being inherently representative of some conniving, underhand pursuance of indie credibility. It's a spectacular way of missing out on 99.99% of the music out there, maybe only 00.01% of which might blow your mind but hey, wouldn't it be worth it?

    no. that's a lot of wasted time listening to complete shit to find maybe one decent song. why bother? i've got a ton of cd's i know i love and i don't have time to listen to hundreds of hours of mediocre, unmemorable crap to find the one thing that's decent.

    i listen to plenty of stuff that wouldn't be considered mainstream. but i would never think anyone should listen to it, or the band should be famous, or people are missing out because they haven't heard it. most of the time i know damn well why most people don't like it.

    Well, I like your rants here, so I'll try it out. Added it to my google reader even.
    If you want a good obscure, and not terribly hipster music blog, check this out:
    http://obscuresound.com/
    I've gotten a few good artists off there.
    Good luck, dude.

    Your absolutely right. Mainstream music is the best.
    Why even bother with anything that doesn't sell millions.

    Well, personally I find the search interesting and fulfulling, and won't have someone else who happens to feel differently make me feel bad about it, ok?

    It's ok to have differing opinions about this stuff. You don't have to be a smug ass about it. It's not cool, honestly.

    I presume your well into the Nuggets style compilations Jeremy1012?

    Full of amazing obscurities that never sold nothing.

    The Nuggets 2 boxset is me fav.

    like i said, i just find it goofy that people devote that kind of time to anything. and i enjoy poking them to see them get all worked up about it. i have my opinion that you take this stuff way too seriously, you have your opinion that i'm just posing myself and not willing to try anything new. so we're even. i have many ways of spending my own time that plenty of people would say are ridiculous, i don't take it personal or feel bad about it. i know i'm kinda nutty sometimes :)

    i truly wish you the best of success with the blog. you seem to be a damn good writer and i hope you find an audience. all i asked, like i said, is if i could occasionally poke fun at you for being a music snob. if you don't want that, i won't pollute your blog. i'll keep our sparring confined to this place ;)

    That's all fair enough, and thanks for your genuine kind words. I am the first to admit that I take music very seriously, it's my passion. I don't really see why that's necessarily a bad thing though, people make a living out of this shit, god knows I'd love to. Music journalism would be a dream job of mine. As I said in my original post, if you want to poke fun, be my guest. Just don't imagine for a second that I won't retort passionately. I'm sure you'd expect nothing less :)

    When I find out your ridiculous ways of spending time, I'll be sure to endeavour to mock you on account of them ;)
