But it's still a punk album; you were implying it was not.

You've been giving this a lot of thought.

Yeah, he was just giving him a shout-out back.

You are the worst.

That wasn't a diss on Jay-Z.

Unless you're totally emo, Death Cab For Cutie doesn't get a lot of love. Granted, they released an album last year that was as syrupy and as polished as many of their detractors have always claimed they were, DCFC's early stuff blended a flair for melody and thoughtful lyrics. Their second full length, We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes, is extremely solid indie rock. The frontman, Ben Gibbard, was a pussy, sure, but he was a literary pussy; his lyrics weren't the trite whining of Dashboard Confessional. It's a shame his songs would later regress to having all the depth of a Hallmark card.

No, you really are awful, FrigidSoul.

We all know FrigidSoul is awful, but these past few days have shown the worthlessness of DerangedHermit.

DerangedHermit is one of the worst posters ever.

I clicked on this thread under false pretenses.

Just saying but Pink Flag is at times refered to as one of first post-punk albums. Feh. Pink Flag is very much a punk record in sound and spirit; the guys in the band itself were not punks—they were a quartet of art students and looked it. The "post-punk" stuff didn't come into flower until their second album, Chairs Missing.

Almost 25 years ago, Elvis Costello got into a drunken argument at some bar with one of the dudes in Crosby, Stills and Nash (I think it was either Stills or Nash). In an effort to rile him up, Costello said a number of inflammatory things, including calling Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant nigger." When word of it got out, it caused some controversy, but it died down soon enough. Costello publically apologized repeatedly, saying that his drunken stupidity did not reflect his true intentions. The guy regrets the incident to this day, talking about it in the liner notes to the 2003 reissue of his 1980 album, Get Happy!!.

You think I care?

Fascinating. Because I know you need it, here's the Merriam-Webster definition for puerility. Also, it spares you the trouble of finding a website outside this one! Even on the field of battle, I am willing to help my lessers. Humanity: another winning trait of Team Kotzenjunge.

DerangedHermit is pathetic, a broken 45 of dick suckery skipping along at 33 (for maximum annoyance). In spite of its repeated exposure as the worst form of puerility, he constantly retreats to his two or three gay jokes whenever cornered, which is all the time, the cornering, as he is a weak and frail little child, prone to bedwetting, too, from what I hear. So, DerangedHermit, the only thing I can suggest to you is an investment in a thesaurus. Perhaps you can bring a tiny bit of variety into your gay-baiting; you won't be fooling me, but I'm sure all of your teammates will be astounded at your exciting new grasp of the English language!

I didn't read this thread, but, at any point, does FrigidSoul stop acting like a simpering pussy?

At first I thought this was a cock and balls cozy; I was disappointed to learn it was not. Anyway, Team Malibu continues to show that their wit is on just this side of Team Frigid's yawn-inducing barrage of gay jokes, which have all the subtlety of nudging someone in the ribs and saying "you like to suck dick, if you know what I mean." So go on, Team Malibu. Keep thinking you can hang with the cool kids, but know that you never will. You will forever be intimidated by our superior intelligence, good looks, dancing skills, large cocks and really neat haircuts. We are the toast on which TSM's bread is buttered; you are merely a crumb.

Robert Quinne, a fixture of the late 70s NYC punk scene—as well as a founding member of Richard Hell and the Voidoids—committed suicide the other day.

Correct!

Stop posting. Seriously. No one asked for an inane discussion on what is and isn't punk. If you are unable to suggest any bands that are routinely considered punk, then your presence in this thread is useless.

Thanks for simultaneously bringing nothing to this thread and an asshole.

People are too embarassed to post in this thread. As they should be; leave the gay jokes on the playground, kids!

Horrible. Must you people fail at everything.

Crass, though they're actually kinda terrible. Still, they should be heard by anyone interested in the origins of punk. Always loved this album cover, though:

No --- you don't. -=Mike Pot...kettle...black. As opposed to you, who has all the uses of being female and thus lusted after by the desperate males who have little to no taste (ie. FrigidSoul, Zack) and thus bring the entire message board down in terms of quality reading because of the increase of your asinine posts of increasing boredom as you constantly post because you feel reinforced by the love for you from some male posters (ie. Frigid, Zack) who love you because they feel that their sexuality is reinforced by the fact that they actually speak with another female on the internet. So yes, Canadian Chick, you do have some form of usefulness, because we need bland uninspiring posters such as yourself just so as to reinforce the sexuality and posting quality (because even they post better than your mindless bland writings) of two of the three team leaders who have no redeeming qualities barring perhaps that they are better than you. Awesome.
