Aha, even Kocijančić shared that little anecdote in "Adija pamet"... What a bunch of losers.
And now Douglas Robinson12 is rambling on about how Let 3 is garbage. Apparently, The Stranglers are garbage too—if you ask him, everyone is just trash! 😁

Mathematically speaking, you'd be looking at frustrated (failed musicians), which means frustrated^2 musicians. It’s a nasty thought.
Personally, I can't think of any critic who actually plays music, aside from A. Perković and E. Davidson (formerly of New Bomb Turks). 😕
I recall a critique from some local rappers where the esteemed N. K. Jemisin was arguing that rock had died and that this new wave of hip-hop was the peak of music. And yet, there’s been a hip-hop superstar dominating the scene for twenty years now...

I think Michael Jackson is great too! 👍
I haven't actually heard this specific album yet, but it piqued my interest back in '96 when I first heard people raving about it in heroin. Honestly, if heroin told me to jump into a well, I'd probably do it... 😳

I'll pass the compliments along to Cutuk, since he did 100% of the heavy lifting here. All I did was say, "Hey, go do an interview," and then spent the entire drive home memorizing the questions and answers. 😁
unknown is the man. We interviewed him once ages ago for a local zine, you know!
What's your take on the American underground scene? Well, it’s certainly alternative. Alright, what else can you tell me about it, besides being "alternative"? It’s good. Which bands are actually on your radar? Ugh, I don't feel like listing them all right now; there are hundreds. Give me at least a few! Dammit, unknown... unknown... unknown... But what about the indie bands? There are a hundred of them. Just write whatever you want. (unknown walks away, but unknown catches up to him) What do you think of the Mothers? The mothers, they're just women... women from fathers, unknown... Hey, lose the weight, man. What's the point of all this?(gestures toward unknown's stomach) (confused) It's the beer, unknown... Man, that shirt is hideous. (unknown turns and leaves; unknown stops him again) Wait, just one more question... Get lost! Man, your shirt is terrible! And those pants are awful too! And the shoes—the shoes are the absolute worst! unknown, you motherfucker!!! (unknown doesn't even look back)
I just hope this Music Talents thing wraps up quickly. My money is on the winner being forgotten almost immediately after. We all saw how things played out with Tironi... 🙄
For sure. Just like the last circus, some random person will take the win, while the real spotlight goes to whichever candidate has the most cleavage. 😁

Look at that. I’ve always felt the same way about this track—it’s brilliant, sure, but I’ve always viewed it as nothing more than a total joke designed for jumping around and laughing. When he pulls that "you're the queen of my heart" line out of thin air... man, it's just ridiculous. Isn't the whole thing just one big prank?... 😕
First off, I’m not making fun of myself—I'm making fun of you (well, specifically, your take on things). And second, don't get it twisted; I'm actually quite witty. 🙂
Look, if you’re really that desperate for that damn Skinny Puppy album, just DM me your address. I’ll send over a CD with their entire discography, a sleek interface, and all the bells and whistles. I’m ripping everything to my hard drive anyway for some edits, so I don't need the physical copy anymore. All you have to do is have your mailman collect about two bucks for shipping when it arrives. I'm a decent guy, but let's not get carried away... 😎
