Yes. How did you do that?
Copy and paste.
I picked up the album by Poliça based on the recommendation of yer man Justin Vernon as I like Bon Iver very, very much.
Looking forward to giving it a listen over the weekend.
Apologies to Clarkey for the above two sentences.

Because in the majority of cases, mainstream music is shite. Why should I settle for dirge from the likes of Snow Patrol or Razorlight and ignore the brilliance of Emancipator or Godspeed You! Black Emperor just because the former is mainstream. Get fucking real will you.

I’m not talking about Snow Patrol and Razorlight as such. What I’m saying is there is a shitload of historical mainstream artists that should be enough to keep people going in my opinion. For instance, farmer, your favourite three bands if I recall correctly are The Smiths, REM and The Pixies? I’d call them all mainstream and there are many more like them. I’m not saying go off and listen to Rihanna but I just don’t understand the happiness derived from seeking out real alternative stuff. No need to get your knickers tangled. If it makes you happy, carry on, I’m merely offering my opinion.
Sport was always refreshingly free of this phenomenon. The best players and teams were the best and everyone fucking knew it. That’s why it wasn’t very attractive to hipster types. The Internet is starting to change this though and sporting hipsters are starting to rear their wispy facial haired heads
Gola, what’s wrong with facial hair? I can think of three people straight off who possess facial hair and significant sporting knowledge: Me, Rocko, ClarkeyCat. Please withdraw the reference to wispy facial hair but feel free to provide any pertinent tips regarding beard maintenance.
loser
The happiness derived from seeking out alternative stuff is the quality of music it offers. Not all of it mind you, some of it can be rubbish but why are you having a go at people who want to broaden their musical horizons?
I’m listening to a lot of the owl Ludwig Van of late. Awesome.
Does it help with the owl in-out in-out?
:lol:
No time for the owl in-out. I’ve just come to read the meter.

I’m just saying that I don’t understand it. And that it’s generally the pursuit of gobshites. Present company excepted.

That’s a very narrow minded view Clarkey. Should we only go to see mainstream movies and ignore more “art-house” films? Only read what’s on the bestseller lists of books?
My take…
Do I have time for Clarkey? Yes
Do I have time for farmer? Yes
Am I happy to see the two in disagreement? No
In situations like this is the truth often somewhere in between the two sides of the argument? Yes
Is the truth somewhere between clarkey’s stance and farmer’s position? No
Is farmer right? Yes
Is Clarkey wrong? Yes
Do I take pleasure in Clarkey getting it so badly wrong? No
I like this new posting style larry.
Also thanks for confirming that you prefer me to Clarkey.

Well I’d have thought there is a much larger catalogue of music out there than there is movies or books which necessitates a quicker movement from mainstream to obscure so I guess I would say no to both your questions.

Did your recent conversation in the 51 with farmer about your favourite multi-layered REM album make the pair of you sound like arseholes? I’m afraid so.
