Week 5 chat and predictions

[PancakeBrah]

Championship: Frank (4-0) vs. oats (4-0) vs. Vividlyvague (4-0) | "Don't Let Me Down"

Oats will recover from his wedding hangover just in time to fend off two exactly identical 200 line man poems.

Contender match: ZYG (3-1) vs. YDK (3-1) | "Think for Yourself"

ZYG on dat dere Gary Kasparov time. YDK yearns for the elite status. He'll have some srs problems if he doesn't do a 360* tap dance of a verse here.

Vulgar (3-1) vs. Pinot Grij (2-1) | "Run for Your Life"

My heart says Peanut Grease. My mind says Vulgar. Every one says coin toss all the time but god damn it this is one. I predict Vulgar is more abstract and Pinot is funnier. Call me crazy.

timeless (2-2) vs. Mike Wrecka (2-2) | "Getting Better"

MW is a weird person who passive aggressively insults me from time to time. This will eventually be his undoing. For now he wins.

Adonis (2-2) vs. King Ra. (2-2) | "Child of Nature"

Cool battle. I used to think Adonis sucked but his last two verses have been surprisingly good. King Ra gon' King Ra and write about Eros and Tauros fighting the sun for ultimate possession of the moon scepter.

Totoro (0-2) vs. El Pancake (1-1) | "All Things Must Pass"

YOU'RE 0-2 AGAINST ME, G. BRING YOUR A-GAME. Actually, bring your C+ game. It'll make it easier.

sacrifice (1-2) vs. Mr. J (0-2) | "Tell Me What You See"

wut @ the records for these brahs.

What's your favorite Beatles song?

obv Eleanor Rigby is obv

Not Green Day type stuff.

Like...RAWK.

Shit like Iggy Pop's Raw Power.

Dat uncut realness

Maybe Ramones-era stuff is okay. But not The Ramones.

Power punk rawk. Gutter shit.

[oats]

like Sex Pistols style then. Or The Clash. I'm no punk expert, but like most kids who skateboarded I had a distinct phase.

[PancakeBrah]

The Clash made Rock the Casbah.

lel @ punk

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong word.

I'm thinking of like anti-establishment music. Like Black Flag shit.

More to the point,

Punk rock for lifting stupid heavy weights.

[oats]

[timeless]

@El Pancake try listening to GG allen. Props if you enjoy

[PancakeBrah]

Will do.

Isn't he the young man who enjoys putting shit on his face on stage and violently hurting himself and others?

RAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Mike Wrecka

That seemed appropriately rawk.

[Mike Wrecka]

I was into hardcore for awhile

that band is called Strife

another one that I liked was V.O.D

That seemed pretty fitting. @oats & @Frank, what's going on with that 20 line extension? I wrote 60% of my verse yesterday.

[Certain]

@El Pancake, calm down. You know I have your back, friend.

New-ish:

Savages, Silence Yourself: Critical darling, very lesbian but good, not entirely my cup of tea.


The Coathangers, Suck My Shirt: Came out last week, enjoyed it.


Black Lips, Good Bad Not Evil: They had a new album recently that I didn't like nearly as much as this one from a decade or so ago.



Not new but better than the Ramones:

Wire, Pink Flag: The second best punk album ever, behind London Calling.



Gang of Four, Entertainment!: Maybe the third or fourth best punk album ever.

This is some really dumb opinion you have here.

[PancakeBrah]

Through our numerous PM convo's you should know I have dat dere Savages album.

Did you ever check out that Future of the Left album? It's still in rotation. Very much music.

Thx for the rec's

[Certain]

@El Pancake, I liked the Future on the Left but only listened once.

You'll like this, maybe more than anything I suggested, if you want the focus to be on anger:



That's from OFF!'s self-titled album.

[oats]

here's a few more for you, cake

[oats]

oh and vivid I'm cool with it - just keep in mind, if three of us are going 20 lines over that's equivalent to people reading 4 verses

[Certain]

I can jam to 4 Non-Blondes, though.

[PancakeBrah]

thank you for the rec's oats. going to squat to some 4 non blondes/bob dylan mash ups tomorrow.

ill reach zeus and slap him in the face

[Certain]

I would enjoy Savages with a different lead singer, preferably male. That would defeat the entire purpose of the group, though.
