I would genuinely love a @Bamnan thread where he lays out the things that he would rate 4/5 and above. I want to know he has joy in his life - this is not sarcasm or any sort of dig, I want to know what makes him tick/smile.

literally no idea what you’re talking about

#678

I would (tentatively and with deep reluctance) love to see the next one of these be a Bamnan-approved artist. so we can actually, y’know, talk about music, that we like

but only if he pinky swears that the next thread for someone he’s not fussed about doesn’t get riddled with the same point being made in 166 separate tweet-like posts

who do you like Bammers?

#679

I could make a thread about what I like and what is wrong/shit with the things I like. Have to be consistent

I have thought about it, but I don’t see why the people who’ve expressed happiness that these threads are on the social board should have their enjoyment curtailed because of this. I’m genuinely pretty disproportionately irked that what is meant to be a valid and lively discussion/debate about each artists’ MUSIC descends into this so often. Fair enough, disagree about whether someone’s good or not in a musical sense, that’s the point, and if there’s an artist for whom controversy has overshadowed their output to the point of unenjoyment then it’s good to talk about that too, in context, but I think the majority of regular posters in these threads want to stick to a friendly musical debate and will just stop voting/commenting if this goes on.

Sorry on my part for stoking it a bit.

OUTKAST ARE FUCKING WICKED

I hope my posts don’t feel negatively spirited, because they aren’t.

Would love to hear your thoughts about this kind of stuff in, say, this thread, that you started

I enjoy your input on DiS. Something you said in this or another thread about how people only enjoy things that remind them of their youth and involve the rich and famous (which in turn I would take to mean, help them fantasise about escaping the anxieties and unhappiness that comes from being within the bottom half of the pyramid of capitalism) actually had me thinking for quite a while after I’d gone offline

But just can’t have you disrespecting andre & big boi like this :pray:

I think do understand where Bammers is coming from and am interested in hearing from him, I will say that.

This sentence for example gives me a lot to think about. It’s interesting to examine the perpetuation of the music industry and the role of capitalism in music.

I also understand why these threads need to be about artists DiS has heard of as otherwise they’d get about three posts.

Nah it’s ok, people are bound to react, myself included. Just annoying, maybe I’m taking the whole thing too seriously or something.

Exactly this!

If anyone’s up for How Good Are They Really: Stara Rzeka, I’d be fully game. Think all 4 voters would give him a 5 and we’d clarify that he’s better than The Supremes, David Bowie and OutKast

So we need artists everyone knows but made no money. I can offer nick drake (5) but that’s about it

This is a joke about the song Bittersweet Symphony, thank you for listening.
