Refutation of Todd
by Sarita
i read his comment about the flaming lips. ("ugh", i think it goes).
i will never talk to this guy because he wrote off a band a really
like with a syllable. here we go. i feel no need and see no point in
defending the music i like. some of my favorite bands are mediocre
and it's ok, it doesn't matter, i like them because i heard them in
high school at 4am on the college radio station and the moon looked
strange at the time or the singer has nice lips or i like their
attitude or they put out about 12 albums a year and they're fun in
concert or excellent for aerobics. whatever. the charlatans and
pavement and guided by voices and the misfits and the buzzcocks fall
into these categories. i think the flaming lips are touched with
genius and that the charlatans are not but i will listen to both and
be content. i cannot argue the merit of one band versus another
because once the music hits my ears it's mine, not yours. it is
certainly not this dude's. this poorly constructed psuedo rant has
made my head hurt. ithaca, ho!
