hey zeljkica, honestly it feels like he’s just trying to mess with you because he’s secretly jealous that you actually managed to land someone. should we just go over there and teach him a lesson?
Anyway, I actually love SC’s stance here. They really stick to their guns. Isn't that rare these days? In such a superficial society, you almost have a chance of me losing 30 pounds just from the shock. I guess I won't be seeing this in NYC at SC, but maybe somewhere else—even if it costs more. You win some, you lose some. 🤷
I’m definitely going with +1 on that American observation. Well, except for the beer part. I try to cut down on the awkwardness by skipping the alcohol altogether. Or maybe it works the other way around? 🤔
So, why on earth did someone go and crush his guitar? Was that actually intentional? Did they just run out of power at the concert? Or was there maybe some kind of massive press frenzy going on? 🤷
Adam Moore said:Is it just me, or is it actually brilliant how The Black Keys put together this conceptual punk-rock/indie record about one guy living under some fascist, theocratic regime, all while keeping those melodies incredibly catchy? 👋
I totally get where you're coming from, man... I really do... 😉
Adam Moore said:First off, I honestly don't care if you're reading this or not. I only used the quote to point out that you shouldn't take things so seriously—the lyrics are clearly meant to be ironic. Second, nobody chooses to go to Catholic school or sit through religion class on their own; you're just a kid doing what your parents tell you to do. Third, yeah, that sentence was kind of lame, but so what? It's just a person on a computer. Fourth, whatever. Why wouldn't it be? Just explain yourself, please. For me, *The Body, The Blood, The Machine* is the only truly great album by The Black Keys. It’s mostly because of the songwriting. Maybe they don't have a massive hit like "No Culture Icons," but as a full album, the concept makes it better than anything else they've done.
Fair enough. You said your piece, and I said mine before you. That's why the internet is so great, right? We interact. I'll just touch on the album comment. To me, *The Body* is awesome because those catchy melodies actually lift me up when everything feels heavy and oppressive. The lyrics are pretty basic, almost elementary school level, but I love them because they're just fun. I don't know. Comment if you want. Don't if you don't. It's not like I'm going to start a crusade over The Black Keys.
First off, I don't really read Pitchfork. Second, there’s nothing positive about being sent to a Catholic school. i know There ara good Christians and good People fra every Faith Who Just Want what's Best for humanity. Sometimes I actually wish I had that kind of faith myself, you know? Like, I wish I had a religion to lean on. But it’s just not always there for me. 🤮 Fourthly, if you're looking for a decent song about faith, it has to be dark. Something like "Zacharia" by Lizards. Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about Lizards again. But honestly, the Thermals wouldn't dare write a track about religion. They'd probably sing about flowers or happiness instead. But faith? And that kind of ironic distance? Not happening. 🤷
