Decent, not good. Green Day has never been by any means music of worth.

FWIW, The Ergs! and the Descendants made music that was actually pretty damn good.

And The Ergs! are very derivative of the Descendants, which is what attracted me to them in the first place. Unlike many other bands under the same umbrella, The Ergs! manage to utilize a wide range of pop sensibilities without becoming simply pop with power chords.
It's the fact that you understand this stuff that makes me appreciate you as a person, Jayson. Yes, The Ergs! represent one of the last recent bands that made power punk/powerpop without being absolutely trite or meaningless.

Right back at you my friend.
I did read recently that The Ergs! are done playing shows, but it sounded like they weren't necessarily done as a recording entity. I hope not anyway.
I really like the Descendents.
And I have to say I do enjoy Green Day. *cringes at potential response*
American Idiot came out when I was in seventh grade, and it made a huge impression on me.
And their stuff before that I can dip into occasionally. But pop-punk never seemed legit to me either. And, say what you will about Green Day, but they never were as whiny and annoying as blink-182.
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices...
I dont like blink 182 either HOWEVER they have one truly great genre transcending song and that song is Adam's Song it seems that they dont have another one like that in them

Anyone here listen to Gogol Bordello? Start Wearing Purple is a pretty catchy tune. They're definitley different from what I usually listen to. I think "gypsy rock" is the best way to describe them. Here's a vid:

I don't have any of their CD's, but that'll be changing soon.

I have all of the Gogol stuff on my hard drive. Good shit, mang. Eugene Hütz was interviewed for Kill Yr Idols and may be one of the only people from the New York scene to actually get what No Wave was about. Plus he's fucking likable as shit - dude has charisma to spare.

New Dinosaur Jr. leaked. Have yet to listen to it, but I'm hoping it's better than their last one.

I haven't listened to any post-80s Dinosaur. I have however, become very caught up in Sebadoh and Lou Barlow's solo stuff.
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices...
Sebadoh is good. Post-80s Dino has its charms. Green Mind and Where You Been are both really good albums, not You're Living All Over Me and Bug but not half as bad as their last album(s). By the way, Farm is not bad. It just feels like J is a little unimpressed.
The Folk Implosion fucking suck, which hurts since I really like Sebadoh. If you like lo-fi, I suggest Guided By Voices and early Microphones. Later period Microphones and Mount Eerie are less noisy more tuneful (The Glow Pt. 2 = probably my favorite album of all time from post 2000s). However if you begin to get into fucking Brian Jonestown Massacre, I may have to disown you as my official indie padawan, Seymour. I shall take you under my wing and make you into a musical omnivore.

The Black Eyed Peas released a new single...thanks for the info Stereogum. Here's what will.i.am (AKA the luckiest man with no talent or skill) says about the song: this song is dedicated to everyone who is getting ready to go out...
its the song to iisten to when you drive to the club or party...
its the song to listen to after a long day or week at work...
its the song to that makes me wanna through my stress away...
So he wants to burrow his stress away? Spelling fail. And the song is shit. Utter fucking shit.

Big shock there. They may win the award for the most derivative act ever recorded.

Wow.... and now he "acts", too. Jesus. He's going on my hit list right under Chad Kroger.
But thank you, Fruno, for taking me on. I promise you I shall learn well, master. :bows:

black eyed peas are aweful
the only thing they ever did right was letting weird al polkatize "the dontya wish you girlfriend was a freak like me?" song for me to put as my cell phone ring

Well, all you ultra cool hipsters can listen to your indie records and keep circle jerking.
I will. Hell, I'll jerk off with the hole in my ultra rare K Records 7". That I got for free. From an indie store. So bah.

As illustrated in some earlier posts, I listen to green day so the indy hipsters dont like me eitherI'm reinventing the definition of hipster as I go and right now I'm in the wavy haired kramer-esque doofus stage
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
me, i'm just as hip when i listen to miles who was on columbia as when i listen to my back catalog of sst records.
and furthermore! the only circle jerks I like involve keith morris (circle jerks being the second band of pre rollins black flag singer keith morris)
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
Circle Jerks - Black Flag for the remedial punkers. That being said, Group Sex is a great album. And any Black Flag post Process of Weeding Out kinda sucks. I'm a hipster who hates hipsters - hell, I think I have a wide enough taste to skirt every classification. Jayson, I found two Frisell discs at the library! Me=happy.
