I'm going to set this thread on fire and laugh as I watch it all burn down. This thread is futile.

What's with trying to change someone's taste anyways? They know what they like and don't like. Sure it's nice to be open minded and all but if they have certain specific reasons for not liking a genre. Nothing posted in this thread will change that.

There is no way that anyone could convince Trollheart to like hip hop for instance.

Trollheart: Dont let them take you alive...

My taste has changed notably since I first joined. Back then I was all about Green Day, My Chemical Romance etc. Now I'm eagerly exploring the landscapes of indie and metal; I think I've become generally more interested in music. Anyway, I agree with DJ that forcibly changing someone's tastes isn't right. But if they want you to, go ahead.

Love the blues! Have you never seen my section "Everybody gets the blues" in my journal?
What do you mean, you don't read my journal?? :yikes:
Ah. I did not know that. See how clueless I am? Thanks for letting me know, BD! :thumb:
DJ starts yet another inflammatory post. Christ man, nobody's asking you to post. If you don't agree with a thread stay the eff out. There's little I hate more than someone saying "this thread is pointless" or variations on that theme. It obviously isn't, as the guys have all convinced me to try jazz, and I'm enjoying this. So leave us alone.
Nobody's stopping you trying. But it's unlikely at best. You might convince someone else though...

You cannot kill what does not live! :laughing:

:laughing: I read it from time to time. Well, if you like the blues, I'm going to get you to like Captain Beefheart, then! Don't worry, I will not show you Trout Mask Replica (unless you're feeling brave or rather open minded in the future), but his more accessible work. I think you'll love Safe As Milk

I did stay out of this thread until I WAS mentioned. If Roxy never mentioned me, I wouldn't come anywhere near this thread!

:clap: I need moreTrout Mask in my life...( said no one ever)

boys boys...Play nice or Im taking all the hip hop, jazz, and indie with me...

Pah! Your threats mean nothing to me!


Unless you're taking the biscuits too! You're not taking the biscuits, are you? Even the chocolate fingers????


I'll be good...
:shycouch:

You forget, I have already experienced TMR and man was it not a nice experience!

I prefer the likes of these...

I remember it well, hence my disclaimer. Safe As Milk is an entirely different animal from TMR, though.

What, do you have some sort of filter that shows you when your name is mentioned? You must have been here to have seen the mention surely? Anyway, she wasn't being nasty about you: why take it so personally? I started this with the intention of people just using it to guide others into different genres and now it's become mostly about me, but I don't mind. Nobody's slaggin you off. Why you wanna destroy us with your hatecrime? HATECRIME!! :laughing:

I am not taking it personally and the only reason i knew about it is because Briks linked me to her post while I was in plug. Do you have a problem with me expressing my opinions?

I do, yes. Please hand them over, they are dangerous and you cannot be trusted with them. :rofl:

Seriously, no I do not of course. But I DO have a problem with you dissing my thread (or any thread) just because you disagree with it. Nobody else has a problem with this, why do you? Honestly, as I say, if you don't like it just shrug and move on. No need to be down on it just because it isn't something you agree with or are interested in.

That's what I got a problem with!

(What he actually means is, that is a thing, with which he has a problem!)

Get Frownland into Reggae.

You're pretty angry about something so stupid.

I'm not angry at all...

Trollheart was very calm in his post.

for some reason i have this recurring dream wherein I convince Engine that Conor Oberst is our generation's Iggy Pop. then he grows two more heads, sprouts wings and flies away while sneezing.

Briks is a person too. It's not nice to call him a nobody. You might want to read his post.

If you don't like something why not speak out against it? Are you trying to censor my voice like google wants to censor my avatars!? :soapbox:

Also this is a public forum so not everyone is going to agree with the same ideas and blow rainbows up each others butt.

One reply and one reply only, because I'm not going to make this thread be all about you, as is your MO.

1. Briks did not, tmk, call this thread futile or say he intended to "burn it down". I'm sure you were joking but it was a mean and spiteful thing to say.

2. If you don't like something why not speak out against it? I am. I don't like it when you try to piss all over my thread. Nothng to do with censorship, just good manners. You don't like something don't take part. I didn't go into the "Get Janszoon into the Beatles" thread and start laughing at it and saying how pointless it was. Point 2(b): You know you would not have said this if this had been someone else's thread. You just seem to always have a problem with me.

3. See above. You can disagree but calling anyone's thread futile, using a big image to draw attention to your post and saying it's a waste of time is very rude imo.

And that's it. We can take this to PM if you want --- I don't, but if you think I'm "walking away" as usual I'll certainly talk to you privately --- but I now want to get this back on topic. If you're not joining in would you just do me a favour and go somewhere else? I'm trying to broaden my musical horizons here and have fun at the same time. Thanks.

And if anyone thinks that's angry, I don't know what to say.

calling it futile and saying that I'm going to burn it down were both jokes. Why did you take them so seriously and personal?

You know what nevermind.

Don't answer.

Bad jokes, typical of you. No need or call for them.
Anyone else want to move this on before we get bogged down in more goddamn drama?

I thought you said you weren't angry! Maybe put him on the ignore list or something so you're not forced to read "negative comments". The Internet isn't exactly a utopia of positivity.

Oh give me a break will you! If I was angry you'd know it. Where do you see anger in that post? Just because I'm not Zen calm does not mean I'm angry. But as this goes on and on I am in danger of becoming angry as the thread seems to be in danger of being hijacked. Again. I'm trying to NOT turn this into all about DJ, and you're not helping that. I've answered him as courtesy demands, and because he always says I ignore him and am rude; now I'm to be taken to task for that? There was no need for his comment. I'm letting him know that. Everywhere I go he follows me with his negativity and I'm pretty sick of it. I just don't know why he can't leave a thread he's not interested or involved in alone, but once he sees my name it seems it's like a red rag to a bull.

And may I say, it does not help that you're commenting on his, and my, comments even though I asked you not to. I do NOT want this to be another thread bogged down in drama. I want it to return to its original intent not to become the DJ and Trollheart show so would you please show me the same courtesy and not mention him again? I'm not trying to be nasty but I've asked for the subject to be dropped. Now I'm asking again.

Thanks.

Woah? I MEAN W-O-A-H.....


How do you figure?

I have no idea who Conor Oberst is, and am too lazy to look it up... :pssst:

I'm already totally into your dream. But I will not get into your car.

Bright Eyes: I thought you were being good...

Can't imagine Conor shirtless and drunkenly yelling on stage

Somebody try getting me into classical music. Bach and whatnot.

Probably the only genre (however wide spread) that I really have no knowledge of. It would also enable me to post something in the "Recommended to me thread"

Uhhhmmm NO!

The best way to get into classical is find a good streaming station and put it on. Google "All Classical Portland", that's my favorite

I've been trying myself to get into more electronica recently and have had slight success but it's still not ideal, anyone want to give it a go?

Which artists did you listen to when you were trying it out? Just so I can think of similar ones that might be better.

Well I have obviously heard a lot of the big artists in the genre but have never really fallen in love. It's so wide with so many subgenres that it really intimidates me. I mean I love Daft Punk's 'Discovery' and some Justice but that stuff is so poppy that I feel it barely counts. Lately I have just been downloading label compilations to see if anything takes my fancy and it all works well as background noise but not as something I would actively seek out. Same deal with most ambient stuff like Aphex Twin and Autechre.

Will anyone kindly try to win me over, too? I'm trying to get into it, but I'm not getting anywhere, it seems.

I just let it play and learned. Generally speaking the great composers are great for a reason, and I have favorites in each classical era. I like Bach, Telemann and Handel in the baroque era, Mozart, Hayden and early Beethoven in the classical era, I love the romantic composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin, and I love Holst, Stravinsky, and Vaughan Williams in the modern era, although I'm leaving out a ton of other composers in all those eras.

Get me into hardcore or screamo I double dog dare ya
