say WHAAAAAAT?!??! first of all, who doesn't take black artists seriously? what's your definition of "popular culture"?? james brown is a part of popular culture. so is b.b. king. so is dr. dre. women haven't been involved in real music?? are we talking recently or within the past century or what? FUCK! the bored just ate my message, so this is going to be brief because i don't want to type my spiel out again. First off, i was agreeing with Ninjastyle, Jeff just posted before i did. What i was trying to say is that in popular music, what you will see on muchmusic and mtv all day every day, is a female singer who goes into the studio and sings someone else's words the way the producer told her to. I equated this to 95% of popular black musicians, who scribble down broken sentences about "mackin hoes" while real hip-hop artists, the ones with integrity and substance are ignored by the mainstream. Did you know Kanye West had trouble getting signed because he doesn't dressup like a billboard? In turn, i can equate this with country music. If i say 'country signer,' most people think of some nashville Wal-Mart shit, like Toby Keith.

That article makes me very very sad.

System of a Down Mesmerize "Cigaro" To sell or not to sell?

I know what you mean, and it is really sad. I guess it's just because women haven't really been involved in real music, much the same way that many people don't take african-american/canadian artists seriously, because most black "artists" in pop culture are spitting out shit for the sake money and fame. It's so sad, but if you see a girl singer you usually think 'candy-coated-whore.' PS~ i love Jewel and Michelle Branch and Kelly Clarkson.

Alexisonfire Alexisonfire "Little Girls Pointing and Laughing" How did they go from this to Watch Out?

i would not.

I think there may be a reason hahaha.

i'm three songs in. Should i sell it now, or does it get better?

I'll show you bad musicians! Melissa Auftermaur is a god when it comes to bass. (sexy as hell too) i can play bass better than Auf Der Maur, but that's nothing to brag about. It's like saying i can play drums better than Meg White. There are lots of good bands with female singers. Dresden Dolls are by far my favourite, but there are also the Like, the Magic Numbers, the Distillers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Stars, and then you even have the crazy female singers, like in Otep and Arch Enemy ;)

To my knowledge, Travis has never sang on any album (aquabats / blink / transplants / boxcar / plus 44) Transplants had like three amazing songs and 20 godawful ones.

is that directed at me? if it is, which they?

That's why indie labels will eventually destroy majors. Soon after MSI got booted off of Elektra, they released a live albuma nd an EP on their own Uppity Cracker label, and made more money form those releases than they made from their entire time with the label. They said that signing to a major is like buying a lottery ticket. You're basically throwing away your money.

Stza - Fuck America (Live in Sheffield)

The Arcade Fire Funeral "Neighbourhood 1 (Tunnels)"

He is. They released their first song, and it's apparently about Tom. I don't think Blink will ever get back together, and i think Tom might have gone a little crazy, but who knows. The one Plus 44 song out right now is really good, you can hear it on their official site.

hahahaha did it have a parrot on it?

definately true. everyone knows cats are a high sorce of protein. That's nowhere near true.

I got off work at one pm, and went to sleep as soon as I was home, I went to bed. I knew I had a night ahead of me haha. Kate and I don

i don't get it ;)

He finally gave it to me Friday, i like it, bt i think it was over-hyped. We'll see though, as i haven't listened to it more than twice.

i too drank too much. I am actually wondering if i am allergic to alcohol. Is that possible?

Which part of "It's been far too long since anyone brought up this song, so LISTEN, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!" don't you understand? Not to sound rude.

It's been far too long since anyone brought up this song, so LISTEN, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!! http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=35IZ4NC...PN0UPR1HZJHPSO4 Best song ever.

When i went to buy prom shoes, i bought sheets instead, and since i was broke, i wore my sandals to prom! Everyone wins!
