I'll save it for when you get those batteries gramps, although that won't help your abominal taste which we can probably chalk up to being canadian.

And when are you gonna try and make some music instead of shilling for the hip and the stones and whatever other horrendous shit you purport to like?

Is it a lack of talent or are you just plain too chickenshit to put anything on the line?

Oh yeah, you're in a lab saving the world, the tragically hip as the soundtrack to the tragically meaningless existence.

Phil: laid tracks -- but prolly not pipe (for shame) -- with Bone Thugs n' Harmony.

THEMACHINE: thinks LooGAR, et. al., be thuggin'.

ADV: Phil.

I've got a PhD with lots of published papers and people pay me to give lectures. My opinion matters, yours, as a failed musician and primary school teacher, does not. You are a loser who has wasted his life chasing a dream that will never come true. Live with that.

Also it's abominable.

My brother stomps both of you, then.

Me, not so much. But my brother, yes.

Also: my brother's favourite musician is Weird Al. Though he does like White Stripes, too.

Muse on that a minute.

... Maybe musical taste &/or production hardly matters a whit to what you do that is "important".

Yeah.

And as much as I don't like them, I'd put New Pornographers on this list way before BSS, Metric, or Stars. Or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, even.

Sorry I meant to type abdominal.

Your opinion matters in your area of expertise, which we can safely say isn't music.

And i'm young, son, go soak your dentures.

Exactly how old do you think I am? When people on this board start with the age jokes it's clear that they've nothing left to say, if they ever actually did.

you're in your late 30s, and you've squandered your youth in academia, where those who couldn't do it in real life go to pile up letters after their name so they can be ridiculed by the next round of students who can actually do it.

and clearly you had so much to say from the beginning

i mean, really that's a brilliant defense of the hip.

what was i thinking, arguing with dr. dumpjack, king of music, the english language, and life?

Canada makes good men savage.

For the record, I'm 35 and if you consider learning, the pursuit of knowledge and a career in health sciences as a life squandered, well that pretty much says it all, doesn't it? Continue to celebrate ignorance, jagoff.

Now, why don't you go and craft some more shitty demos, post them for us all to ignore repeatedly and then continue to bump them like some Skinnerian rat waiting for praise. It's hilarious, but not nearly as hilarious as getting canned by some shitty jazz band.

man this dude really takes offense to anyone slagging on the hip

Actually I don't, but he came in looking for fight so I obliged.

i'm not really sure that he did, just voicing his obvious disdain to the tragically hip. i didnt really see a personal attack in his posts (unless of course you play in the hip on the side?!??!!1)

I had no idea there was a POD-Dumpjack feud. I don't recall it being on the Feud thread along time ago, I'll have to check.

If he posted once how he thinks the Hip are shitty, I would have let it go. But he made a point of coming back and saying Zuckerbaby and fucking Moxy Fruvous are superior. That's someone who's looking for attention and a response.

holy shit.

NO, NOT ZUCKERBABY!!

i can certainly see how someone proclaiming Zuckerbaby's dominance in the canadian music world is grounds for an e-fight. i'd be furious

Actually I just don't really like the guy, so you know, any excuse works.

he's a nice person. ever tried a stankburger?

i was about to post how sorry the board has been lately, and then i read this thread.

We need LooGAR to come along & be Clinton to Phil's Arafat & THEMACHINE'S Rabin.

Of course, just as the Norwegians did all the real work in that scenario, Thee Chad will be the mover on that broaching of peace.
