She didn't debunk it, she just said that it wasn't true. Cmon.

nice! i wonder what other parts of your life you could allow to be completely "goldfinger"-centric.

I used to do this and then regretted it deeply when I realized I loved albums and had to re-import all my CDs

So operation ivy started the whole third wave ska punk thing right? Did any of those bands actually listen to ska or was it mostly inspired by the English punk stuff?

The only mall punk album I ever liked was that gold finger album with superman on it

If you see a bear CHEAT ON YOUR PARTNER

Wait, is that how you're supposed to react if you see a bear?

"Books take a long time to write" cool

Well I heard a sexual assault allegation and my first thought wasn't "the victim is a lying famewhore" so I guess that means I spend a lot of time on the website tumblr?

Never heard the last two bands but I'll check em out! I'm excited to be proven wrong about this. I think gorillaz are fantastic. Franz Ferdinand and arctic monkeys, I agree they certainly do not suck but I guess I feel that they haven't demonstrated the depth of material and ability to change their style that makes a…

King of limbs and in rainbows were both really slow burners for me but they've both become favorites. They're just not as immediate as ok computer-hail to the thief era

The other day somebody on here called me a "tumblerina". I didn't spend as much time in the comment section back in the early days but I definitely do not remember this being a home to the anti pc brigade back then. But they all seem to feel a weird ownership of the site . . Btw pretty sure these are the same people…

I listened to it, but didn't care that much. Their albums do tend to be growers though . .

robert jokeseph did a fantastic job at outlining the things that make Kanye great. It seems that his legion of very vocal detractors often have a quite "rockist" thing going on, so I guess the real question would be . . . what do you think is great? Saying his lyrics don't rhyme is a fairly basic complaint, modern…

Nuanced counterpoint: no it's great

Not sure that'd be worse

Yeah that album is pretty great as I recall

I remember it being called that, though it could refer to "no wave" type stuff or Gang of Four as well

Is it just me or has there been a significant uptick in mallpunk/emo coverage here at the ole av club?

I've seen these types of accusations play out in my own local music scene, and I was frankly astounded by how quickly everyone is to write them off. I expected especially women to at least hear the alleged victim out but every single person I talked to about it was quick to bring up her past sexual indescretions or…
