@soychotic Eh, whadaya gonna do?

I can’t stand all meaningless cliche phrases because they seem to be only utilized by people who won’t want to think. “It is what it is” has been utilized by far too many idiots to end conversations about completely mutable situations

@pnwprincess23 I met him in a similar fashion in Old City, Philadelphia.

lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000” we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was compliment people, you never know where it may lead

@ymasumac @EnglarBrian @TheGrandZero Fake accent? Was he not supposed to sing in his absolute beast of voice? Rock is not regional. It's a worldwide phenomena. What's the end goal for you of you winning this argument? CCR will still kick ass either way.

@androidgalaxy @EnglarBrian @TheGrandZero what about when you do it in multiple songs and fake an accent for your entire career and play a regional genre, all pertaining to the same area

I still find it funny that not one single member of CCR was from the southern United States. Every one of them was born and raised in the El Cerrito area of San Francisco. Literally Californian college yuppies larping as southerners. Weird, huh?

@ymasumac @EnglarBrian @TheGrandZero Writing a song from the perspective of a person with different biographical details than your own is not LARPing. It's called writing.

@EnglarBrian @TheGrandZero i dont disagree with what you're saying here but your first sentence isn't proven by the surrounding ones. they pretty clearly did larp as louisianans, as you can observe by these lyrics. i get the idea that he puts on an accent as well and the swamp rock doesn't help either

@JohnSmith5h6 @EnglarBrian @DistractOrbs @TheGrandZero Lodi is a city in California.

@EnglarBrian @DistractOrbs @TheGrandZero Proud Mary, Green River, Cotton Fields (Leadbelly cover), Midnight Special, Bootleg all directly. Lodi and Down on the Corner feel very

@JosephineDocma This is such a braindead assessment. You are a critic opining the death of culture. Yet you're criticizing one of the most original, robust creators that we have. You and your milquetoast twitter takes are brainrot. Fuck off.

Oomf said that by the time Conner O'Malley released Pipe Rock Theory he was no longer making projects that critique the culture it depicted as much as specifically designed to feed on its worst aspects. After watching his latest, yeah, this is no longer different from brainrot.

@TheWapplehouse ... degree where confusion of the two is not possible, or even probable. In layman's terms, this video is wilder than anything the most unhinged right-wing schizo chud could ever dream up. So OP's point is entirely fucking wrong.

@TheWapplehouse Imo characterizing anything as brainrot is in itself brainrot. That is, it's a reduction of extant phenomena (inherently complex) to a model that doesn't adequately reflect richness and intricacy of reality. Re: OP: OMall's work is clearly differentiated from real culture to a...

By far the single funniest possible reaction to a Connor O’Malley video on so many levels

@memphisvalde @TheWapplehouse Perfect.

@TheWapplehouse “Look at all these fucking slugs. Everyone’s a fucking idiot but me.”

I don't trust any so-called Pink Floyd fans who don't like Ummagumma.

@JasonKPargin Some of them, yea.

Seriously though if I went to Boston and just walked around the streets, would the dudes there really be talking in that accent? like that's not really a thing is it

@JosephineDocma Oh, shut up.

@Erophanes @roryisconfused Lol

This is just too alien for me to engage with. It really is. It’s another universe of logic to me, it is an argument about a different species than the human being.

I was doing like an advanced kind of joke where it isnt funny

@Seppie123456 @annbauerwriter I mean, that's kind of how art works. It doesn't exist until the artist makes it.

@annbauerwriter There’s a great scene in the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary where Paul conjures “Get Back” out of nothing while sitting around waiting for John to show up. One minute it doesn’t exist, the next minute it does. Like magic.

I once had a friend who thought her brother was a great guitarist. Couldn't fathom why he wasn't a star. Then she started dating a sound guy. One night he played her a song & said, That's your brother. Then he played another & said, That's Eric Clapton I think about this a lot.

@Seppie123456 @annbauerwriter Why do people use this phrase "I think about that a lot"? It's such a smug twitterism. No, I don't think you do think about this very much.

@annbauerwriter While there’s always a certain amount of luck involved … especially in entertainment and sports … the gulf between the truly greats and the very goods is much larger than that between the very goods and the normies. I think about that a lot.

@WokeFDR @powerfulwizerd I think the word slop needs to be phased out of the English language.

@powerfulwizerd First album great but only because of Cale, the rest is Reedslop

What’s the consensus on the Velvet underground. do people actually like their music generally

@powerfulwizerd The consensus is that they're one of the greatest bands of all time. What kind of fucking question is that?

@philiptraylen @velvettfilm Your point is incoherent. American literature contains some of the most robust novels ever written. And yes, novels that experimented with form and function. So, like, what the hell are you talking about?

The real point is that the achievement of the American novel, relative to the European (and Eurasian, and Japanese), is literally laughable, whereas the achievement of American poetry is objectively - at least, for the period that it existed - incalculably greater than what was achieved (in the same time period) anywhere else

America has the four greatest poets of all time, but no one really reads them, instead they spend their days spewing a river of ejaculation over their novelists, every single one of which is hilariously bad
