Go ahead, feel free to rant about anything that's on your mind about music. Whatever. Anything goes. If you're pleased about something, let me know. If you're pissed about something (and you probably are), you can let me know about that too.

I love music

OK, here's mine:

I think it's unfair that a great band that once existed like The Dismemberment Plan gets little or no attention here on the org. Seriously, these guys were amazing (1993-2003), and nobody gives a fuck. They've got their heads too far up Janet, Tori, and Madge's asses.

NWF, tell us more about Dismemberment Plan.

All the shit you fuckers listen to fucking suck.

WHAT AM I YELLING ABOUT, AGAIN?

(lowering voice)

- R&B has neither rhythm nor blues.

- Hip-Pop: The New Minstrel Show?

- Do rock musicians actually rock anymore?

- Where is Madvillain?

- Anyone seen Me'Shell?

- What happened to the deejay?

Certainly.



From wikipedia:

"The Dismemberment Plan was a Washington D.C. based indie rock band formed on January 1, 1993. Also known as D-Plan or The Plan, the name comes from a stray phrase uttered by insurance salesman Ned Ryerson in the popular comedy Groundhog Day. [1] The band members included Eric Axelson (bass), Jason Caddell (guitar), Joe Easley (drums) and Travis Morrison (vocals and guitar). Axelson, Caddell, Morrison and original drummer Steve Cummings formed the band while attending various Northern Virginia high schools (Axelson, Cummings, and Morrison attended Lake Braddock Secondary School together in Burke, Virginia). Cummings left the band after the recording of the Plan's debut album ! and was replaced by Easley, who had attended Woodson High School. That cemented the band's lineup for the rest of its existence.

While drawing heavily from previous Washington-based art-punk acts such as Fugazi and Jawbox, the Dismemberment Plan were significant for incorporating R&B (in stage banter, Morrison often talked of his obsession with Gladys Knight) and hip-hop influences to their sound. Influential indie rock criticism website Pitchfork Media has called them the fathers of the late-1990s/early-2000s dance-punk movement, which in turn fostered the current New Wave revival. Ironic humor was also a major component of the band's aesthetic, as displayed in songs such as "The Dismemberment Plan Gets Rich" (Dismemberment Plan/Juno) and "The Ice of Boston" (...Is Terrified).

The Dismemberment Plan's live shows were generally high-energy affairs, with Morrison frequently inviting audience members to dance on stage during "The Ice of Boston". One of the band's most iconic songs, "Do the Standing Still", mocked indie rock fans for their reluctance to move during even the band's most frenetic performances, though Morrison himself would occasionally discourage fans from moshing.

The band toured Japan three times and Europe twice, along with many tours of North America.


Aside from a brief interlude in 1998 and 1999 when they were signed by Interscope Records, the band recorded for local label DeSoto Records. Their breakthrough album, Emergency & I, was actually created during their time at Interscope. However, they were dropped from the label shortly after its completion, and thus took it back with them to DeSoto, where it wound up being released. The EP for "The Ice of Boston" is the only item of theirs Interscope actually released during their tenure there. The band somehow managed to avoid being in debt to the label, effectively being able to record on a major label budget with no consequence. The band referred to their situation in a later interview as "slipping through the cracks".

Following the massive underground success of Emergency & I, the band received an even higher profile after being invited to open for the European leg of Pearl Jam's 2000 tour. A co-headlining tour in 2002 with Death Cab for Cutie (cheekily called the "Death and Dismemberment Tour") also worked well to raise both bands' profiles and cross-pollinate their fanbases, as well as forge creative ties between several members. Later that summer and fall the Dismemberment Plan started to debut songs for their follow-up to 2001's Change. In 2002 the band put all the music tracks from their last two albums on their website, encouraging fans to remix the songs. The result was 2003's A People's History of the Dismemberment Plan. On January 19, 2003, however, the band announced on their website that they had decided to break up after a few tours that year. A final show was planned for July 28, 2003 in Washington D.C.'s famous outdoor show space, Fort Reno Park. However come show-time a heavy rain threatened to damage their electronic equipment and drove off all but the most devoted fans, leading the band to add one more final show. On September 1, 2003, they closed out their career with a sold-out show at the renowned 9:30 Club, dubbed the "one last slice" show. Morrison took the post-Change songs with him for further work, and released many of them on his first album, Travistan, released in 2004. Eric Axelson started a band called Maritime with former members of The Promise Ring. They released two albums: Glass Floor in 2004 and We, the Vehicles in 2006.

On March 1, 2007, the band announced they would be playing a one-and-off reunion show on Saturday, April 28, 2007 at Washington D.C.'s venerable Black Cat nightclub. The event is scheduled to be a charity concert benefitting Callum Robbins son of J. Robbins frontman for DeSoto Records labelmate Jawbox. Fan reaction to the decision was overwhelmingly positive, and tickets to the concert sold out within minutes of being offered online. In response to the high demand for tickets, a second show was announced for April 27.

AVRIL LAVIGNE IS NOT PUNK, GODDAMMIT!

Overall I think Orgers' taste in music based on what I've read here is shite. There are a few folks who are an exception to the rule.

People like All American Rejects and Beyonce get over while folks like Lewis Taylor and Van Hunt can't get arrested.

R.E.M's music is the most bland uneventful monotome noise ever...even static has more rythm...a coma-patient would get annoyed at the boringness of it...it's like having the humming of your refrigerator on cd...why?

U2 was the best band of the 80's hands down

God only knows is better than Imagine

U2 are pompous wankers and Boner thinks he's god's gift to humanity
Infact he may even think he is god himself
[Edited 8/7/07 16:04pm]

some random thoughts.....

Get rid of MTV,Vh1 and BET and form a new Video network funded by the artists.
R&B needs an overhaul in marketing.
Motown records needs to stop as a label
a-Ha is the most overlokked band over the last 20 years, if it werent for them you'd have no Coldplay and other bands like that.

Starbucks should take over and open tons of retail music shops and get rid of these BIG BOX stores that suck ass.
Girls Aloud should take over amercia and slap all these girls that think they are POP.
STOP calling every new artist or band the GREATEST BAND EVER after only one fucking CD!!
Everyone needs to realize that most artists make better music when they are older

FYE is supposed to be a music store, right? They fucking suck and I hope ITunes wipes them off the map! The rat bastards laughed at me when I asked them to sell me the Prince PE poster in the window!

I had the last laugh though cuz I took a hi res picture of it with my digital camera, then took the disc to Kinkos and had them make me a giant poster and it's hanging over my desk! HA!

Record store folks, traditionally, have been unwilling to part with their promo materials. Maybe because the staff cops it to sell in secondary markets, or now, eBay.

No, I don't think so, he's a fervent catholic, and that would be blasphemy

NAS IS RIGHT!! HIP HOP IS DEAD! Oh and one more. HURRICANE CHRIS IS GARBAGE!!!!

I went to FYE a few months back to buy the Sly Stone Box Set...this 20something chick behind the counter didn't know who Sly Stone was, so I told her off, the older gentlemen came to assist me in the middle of my tirade, and FYE still didn't even have the damned thing.

I've been listening to my local shit pop station for about 2-3 months, trying to honestly feel what kids listen to these days...I'm depressed now.

Really, what happened to R&B bands? I miss them...somebody bring them back.

My new mission in life is to get Full Force to tour regularly, like EW&F and FB and Maze.

I still don't have the Sly Stone Box Set.

I just got cable tv after a 3 year hiatus...all the so-called music stations are reality tv show hell.

Who decides who gets to be famous?

The new Prince album sucks.

Michael Jackson...

I feel the same about Cream, they get almost no attention.

Since i worked at sam goody i can tell you from experience 99% of the time, if it was an artist i liked that poster was coming home with me, 99% of my walls are now covered with artist boards and stuff like that. As far as selling that stuff on ebay, im sure someone did, but 99% of the stuff hanging in stores gets put there by the labels and then the label takes it back and usually the reps from labels sell it on ebay, i for a fact that alot of Reps dont even bring the stuff to the stores they sell it on ebay right away, how the hell do you think ebay gets promo advances, how do you think albums get leaked?
