Or should I say angst? mhmm

Either way, I sincerely apologise, I didn't meant to threaten your carefully cultivated persona of relentless individuality.

I'm not the one vehemently denying I know of Pitchfork though. Anyway, don't get your panties all up in a bunch, where did you get the idea that I'm judging you based on bands you listen to? I just assumed you read Pitchfork because you love all the same bands they do. It's not a crime to read Pitchfork or discover music through them. awehuhs

So much anger for someone who was claiming to just be joking earlier.

I don't have my panties in a bunch, I was just askin', yo. I'm never as into my posting as I seem, see. awehuhs I can never tell with you, though. You seem to be joking, then you go all John Woo on my arse.

But yeah, I wouldn't say I 'love' any of those bands... I only mentioned Viet Cong and Grimes to you specifically because I know you listen to them, and I mentioned Fidlar once, again, because I was asked about them. As for Pitchfork, I just think that most of the stuff they promote is utter dross. They give Li'l Wayne and Drake albums top marks. **** 'em, you know? I don't like being associated with stuff I find reprehensible. mmm

Jeez man I was just wanting a clarifier, not everyone on the internet takes it as seriously as you

Why can't I do both at the same time though? The best form of humor is the one that confronts oneself with his own image. awehuhs

Your post seemed pretty serious though. About how I was ''judging you'' and that, based on the music you liked. Really, I just answered a question you asked. awehuhs

Oh yeah, I totally agree, but I'd rather you did it accurately, you know?

If I was serious, I'd use no smilies and be a lot more blunt.

It was pretty accurate though. It might contrast with the image you have of yourself, but I'd say, in a couple of years looking back, you might find it spot on. haermm

If I pretend to believe you weren't serious, can we move away from this pointless topic?

Sure, in the future I'll look back and go "Whoa, I actually was reading Pitchfork! Holy shit! The last five years of my life have been a lie!"

The image I have of myself is that I'm basically a total piece of shit of a human being, but that at least I make my own decisions. srug

I don't know what you think I look at myself like, but it seems pretty damn inaccurate. You seem to think I have some kind of sense of self-worth, which is baffling.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that these three bands (there's actually more, come to think of it, like Mac DeMarco) you like have all been heavily covered by Pitchfork recently. Also, I never implied that you liked these bands because Pitchfork told you to like them. Again, I never said there was anything wrong with discovering music through Pitchfork. awehuhs

Also, your comments about Pitchfork rating mainstream hiphop artists highly shows that you have in fact heard of them and read them, contrary to what you claimed earlier. awehuhs

What I meant was, "I don't know what Pitchfork likes on a day-by-day basis," not that I've never gone on there, ever. The thing is, when I first found Pitchfork (when I was 16), I actually discovered some okay artists. I quickly realised what pompous, self-important bastards they were, and how hard they were pushing their desired "pinnacle of cool" status. It pissed me right off, brev. Giving Radiohead albums low scores just because, rating shitty hip-hop stars highly, etc.

In the past five years, I've carefully cultivated my taste in music by exploring music of my own volition and that, and it's one of the few things I'm proud of. That I've discovered the wide range of music that I like, without having to have been told what's cool and what's not. The music I like, it's because I've listened to it and it's hit a note with me, not because of what some disparate group of so-and-sos have decreed to be "Best New Music".

You're someone I consider to have pretty spot-on music taste, so naturally I assume we'd have some good chats about music and shit, but it seems you assume I'm still as naive and easily-led as I was when I was 16. It's just disappointing, is all. I'm not particularly fond of being misconstrued, so it's something I allow myself a degree of passion in defending.

And I'm not going into this because I'm 'offended' or 'upset' or 'angsty'. I mean hell yeah I'm angsty, but about far more meaningful shit. I'm not that petty. I just like having debates and discussions. I enjoy writing. I want to be a writer as a trade, for crying out loud. Don't take my passion for writing and phrasing things in certain ways as a direct link to my state of mind.

I would've responded to that quicker, but cigarettes and Buffy took priority awehuhs

For a minute I felt like I was in the GDF but then this happened

And all was right with the world again

Me and Slay bickering is a core part of the OTF dynamic though!

Although Welshy and an overuse of awehuhs are far more important

I swear to god, in the course of two episodes, Sunnydale has gone from 'Salem's Lot to just plain old Salem
