What popular tune should he parody when he writes a song about it.

I agree with Banky here. Plus, even out of the bands snuffbox listed, only Nirvana can be said to have had a lasting impact on popular culture.

My face imploded.

My girly wrists. Well, you can't seem them there, but they're plenty girly.

Just have Dr. Tom or someone ban your IP address.

If you're going to be using my former screenname, you'll have to live up to the great responsibility that comes with it, i.e. not starting shitty threads calling out alleged previously banned posters. k thnx

Will Oldham plays country-tinged folk, but that's only the tip of the iceberg; he just as readily embraces rock, Celctic and blues in his music. Lyrically, reoccuring themes include sex, drinking and God. Oldham, also, has recorded under various names, including his own, many variations of the name "Palace" and, currently, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (and I was very excited when I learned the other day that he'll be coming to my town in June). Here are three albums that are the best place to start with this man, along with brief descriptions: Palace Music--Viva Last Blues (1995) The closest to a straight rock record Oldham has made. Highlights: "More Brother Rides," "The Mountain Low" (where I got this thread's title) and "New Partner." Palace Brothers--Days in the Wake (1994) Just Oldham and his guitar, but the lo-fi quality recording adds an erieness to Oldham's often unsettling songs. Highlights: "Pushkin" and "I Am a Cinematographer." Bonnie 'Prince' Billy--I See a Darkness (1999) Arguably his best release, Pitchforkmedia even declared it one of the top ten albums of the 90s. The songs strike a greater balance between morose and uplift than anything he's done prior (the title track, by the way, was later covered by Johnny Cash); it's also his most varied album to date. Highlights: The whole fucking record, really, but check out "Nomadic Revery" (the last minute-and-a-half of this song gives me chills), "I See a Darkness," "Death to Everyone" and "Madeline-Mary."

I can't tell you how disappointed I was to not see your cock after scrolling down far enough.

Seeing a thread with my name that I did not start is terribly confusing.

Steal a child's urine and smuggle it in your pants. It's your only hope.

And I've already given love to This is Our Music; it's superb. Plus, if you're up for it, Colemad's had some success dabbling in fusion. His Science Fiction is good.

Man, I've seen some bad poetry. I helped put together a literary magazine in high school--teenagers are the worst at expressing their pain creatively (though that should suprise no one). I used to date a girl that edited the lit mag of the university I attend; a lot of crap made into print, while the rejects were downright horrifying. Most of the stuff in this thread reminds me of that.

I'm giving this request my blessing.

I'm just glad we have a thread like this to make this folder truly hardcore.

Because far too many people who write poetry never actually read it themselves. They think anyone can do it; studying what came before you is essential. So much shitty poetry exists because very few people care about the past (or the present).

Banky stopped grading, guys.

Hey, I'm curious. Those of you who've posted your stuff in this thread, please list some of your favorite poets, as well as some of their poems.

Nor does linking the Mountain Goats to either act resemble logic.

Hey, godthedog, have you tried any other Coleman besides Free Jazz? I don't particularly care for that one myself.

You're four days off.

WDI has a bunch of nice people, but their board is the dullest fucking place.

I hope you're kidding.

I understand. Peter Brotzmann--whom, admittedly, is more like a noise terrorist rather than a jazzman--doesn't so much play the saxophone as beats you across the head with it.

I can draw no other conclusion than you must've experienced some sort of head trauma since moving to Asheville.
