Just what the name says.

If he does that I'll set up a parody of his site. And then someone can...

Nevermind.

Let's set up an endless Web ring of parody sites. If nothing else, it would confuse the fuck out of anyone that accidentally jumps right in the middle of it. :D

That sounds like a fabulous idea. But someone else will have to make your big dream a reality. I prefer to merely be a spectator. Maybe Mr. LukP can do it?

Please give us the URL so that we can all come over and discuss our favorite Ozark Mountain Daredevils matrix numbers! :D


Now c'mon Mr. Ess Ay, if it's a Stereo Central parody site then shouldn't it be filled with endless discussions regarding what "fuckwads" and "idiots" the folks at SC are? I'm frankly appalled at your own lack of respect for the groundbreaking work being done at ol' SC. You do know it's the place for discriminating music lovers, don't you?

Shame on you Mr. Cee Dee! Stereo Central might be a shithole, but it's still a place that many call home!

I think prog is cool. That's my favorite.


What is this band 'prog' and which remasterings do you recommend?


It's an awful place.


Now you're getting it.


It's really the worst music/audio website out there.

I recommend you delete it.


I recommend you have a Prog Tourney. I want to cast my vote.


That would require more people than just me giving a shit about prog over there.

So I fear your yearning will remain forever unfulfilled.

RE: The proposed Stereo Central parody site:

Possible discussion forums:

1) What did Steve Hoffman have for breakfast today?
2) krabapple: tweaker or tool?
3) Best spelling error puns.
4) Post your Robert Fripp matrix numbers here.
5) I dated COLA.
6) Mike Hunte.

Not a band...but a way of life for some of us. I recommend them all. I try not to discriminate 'cause I'm really into my prog.

That's twice you've noted that. Say it one more time and I'll deem you a convert!

Too bad. I was looking forward to voting. Personally, I think your SC website is a big shithole...but props to Ryan for donating the money. That was very cool.


Actually, I did have a tourney proposal that would encompass prog/psych -- something more challenging and serious than shooting-fish-in-a-barrell "Starship vs. Toto" one-liners (not that there's anything wrong with that). You know, debating the relative merits of, say:

- Fripp vs. Eno (Who's the bigger putz? Why is Fripp considered such an asshole -- I don't think he is, really, but Eno -- the biggest art whore of the past two centuries -- gets a free pass?)

- Who can tolerate Peter Hammill's singing for more than 12 minutes and why can or can't you?

- Why would anyone over the age of 6 actually listen to Rush and the like?

- Robert Wyatt: genius or lunatic? (I love him, krabapple thinks he's overrated. Would be a great discussion.)

- Krautrock: the big lie? (I'll be the first to admit that there's a mere handful of truly great German bands. For every Faust or Neu!, there are a hundred bloated bargain bin dwellers, à la Mythos or Grobschnitt (see how I just refocused the thread back to Eroc?).

- Contemporary psych: why Acid Mothers Temple fucking rules and crap like Dungen sucks, sucks, sucks.

Etc.

Such is life at the shithole. You're welcome to contribute, cunt. You can even defend Steve Hoffman there, if you want.


So I take it no one here has ever heard a Telefunken Yeti LP??

Nevermind. (I bet that's what Luke would say.)

Luke never posts at SC. That's why Ess Ay cries all night long. Bad Luke!

In the interest of fairness, I post there as much as I post at SH.tv.
