Of all the places in which to start a fight, we had to pick the Canadian Artist thread?

I've never met the PoD but he's high up on my list of respected obners. He sounds like a straight-up, honest, generous guy who knows more about music than I ever will. But really, anyone who makes explicit conclusions about someone based solely on message board posts needs to get a life.

Sweet fancy Christ people...

phil's great.

i'll just leave it at that.

This really made me laugh, btw

I've met and imbibed with PoD---great guy.

Never met DJ, but he seems pretty cool on these boards and I admire his field of work.

I'd bet you two would actually get along in IRL.

I must say, Monty wins the thread with his attempts at intervention. Strong work.

Favorite Canadian artist: Oscar Peterson

i thought he was talking to himself.

You don't mess with genius.

LULZ

Hey, you're the one who's still going here. I didn't rail against the opinions, only you as a person. You see? Note that I didn't defend the Hip against your derogatory statements because I really don't care about your thoughts on the subject. I'd actually have to respect your opinion and knowledge of music in order to fear it. I've argued with plenty of people on the board about the Hip when I thought it was a worthwhile discourse. The only reason I took you to task today was that you wanted someone to argue with and I was happy to oblige and take you down a peg or two. Get it? It was just an excuse to fucking goof on you as a person. So relax and go cook some food and post extensively about it like you're a real, big boy chef, or go and record some more awful music and come back and street team them. I won't bother you anymore. Dig it?

And the 'bitch' slang? That was laughable. Seriously.

Hmm. I may have to rethink this.

Jellyfish and ruby starr both suck

ohhhhhhh

OMG you totally took him down a peg or two


...on the internet

but his country is shitty

I'm guessing you are referring to the Lone Star Republic.

That'd be India.



We really need to make Monty's files public record. The Obner stuff, anyway.

All that testosterone flying and nary a penis to be seen.



(That does not mean it gives you reign to start posting penis images)

he he

got any opinions on Pot Liquor and Peter Mulvey Rod?

phil's indian??? I thought he was black!

...I also think Phil is awesome.

obner is a fantastic internet place

Well, that was refreshing. Funny, PoD and D.Jack are in the handful of Obners I've felt more than a cursory awareness of and connection with.

k.d. lang never had the career she should have... I really think, like the Irish, Canandians do country music much better than we do. Lightfoot, Neil, are all countryish at their base and Blue Rodeo is a perfect band.

Neil, Joni, Cohen... greatest ratio of artists to population sample... no other country can compete...

I disagree.

Wanna fight?

geographically speaking, your taste in music sucks.

i WILL take this outside with you. i am ready to go, you f'ing bitch.

The material you post on Internet message boards is woefully inadequate. Reading such postings regularly fills me with rage and contempt for you and all of greater (lesser?) Vermont.

RAGE!!11!1!!!

I actually like Canada, and most of the Canadians i've met. I also like alot of the canadian musicians who've garnered some attention.

But dumpjack, other than that cajun bread pudding recipe, you're pretty much a worthless sack of shit. Although that was a really good recipe.

One last thing.

Do something creative. Anything at all. Then tell us all about it. Write a song. Record it. Draw a picture or write a story. Use your keen scientific observational skills to make one person feel anything at all, like they're less alone in the universe, and then i'll take your slagging of my music seriously. Till then, you're just a nothing man. A zero. You haven't given a damn thing. You've taken no chances. You're just an imbecile but you think you know everything about everything which makes you the saddest kind of buffoon there is.

If you did make something, would you have the balls to share it and put it out there for judgement?

That is... if you even could.
