avi, please get willow to post here, stat

i remember the dismemberment plan thing, and i like d-plan, and it's soooo unpopular to do so now. partly because of that war stuff.

and his post wasn't even like "kill the camel-fuckers", he was talking about atrocities and saying the US had created Saddam and then neglected him out of self-interest, i seem to recall?

I don't think Willow would be able to follow the nerdiness of this board very well. The craigslist pet forum is enough to keep her glued to the intarnet for hours without needed even more msg board nonsense in our lives.



i don't remember that d-plan posting to be very out of hand either. if I remember right, it was pretty levelheaded for the most part.

 

[deadair]

yea, that was my point. i really don't care what Mr. Bazan was saying in his song... he has every right to. it's just that if you are sayin the 'right' things, you can without being checked or challanged.

 

[goatschool]

b..but. you're challenging him!

 

[deadair]

well sure... on this little board.

i'm talking about the indie press in general. i'm talking about the, "in-the-know" college aged fan.

again... i'm making a big deal out of something that doesn't need to be made into a big deal...

i'm an over-reactor.

I agree with you that within the indie community there are things that are acceptable and others that are considered to be somehow "wrong" or "bad" ...

who was that band Steve Albini stopped producing because they signed with a major label?

 

[Demonspell]

Those lyrics are obviously satirical, and I find the attitudes being mocked in them to be more offensive than the slurs themselves.

 

[deadair]

i know they are satirical... of course they are, that's not the point.

nevermind.

an old war veteran tries to make his point, but is shot down by unlistening youth.
