Now we arrive at the island of Desert, number 7. A place where joy and peace thrives. The definition of art is loose and acceptable to most. Peace has reigned for some time, to the extent that even those living on Space Moon occasionally come to visit. Said peace started right around the start of DI6, though the reason for this has been thoroughly discussed. Some believe it was because of the release of a 160 minute tape featuring unknown artists that set the citizens' minds free. It was discovered by the government and destroyed, which caused a revolution and the populous overthrew their tormentors. Things are going well at the moment. We even have the Altamont music festival coming up in a few weeks! That should be good.


Such a peaceful, and harmonious place could not be bothered with a Wikipedia entry.
 
The Baby and her Mustache both live here, too. So there's that.

Jesus.
 
I was one of the users viewing the last thread in the last few minutes.

I saw enough to make me back out of the thread slowly. But before I could post something clever to that effect, you all started a new one. :grumpy:

I was about to make Atlanta, Germany. Good hustle, just quick enough for me to notice.
 
I'mlate to the argument, but I'm throwing my two cents into the pot now:


What the fuck, man. I've never even participated in DI, but even I see the stupidity here.

How is LemonMelon not a real artist? He's human, yes? He makes music, yes?

Pretend for a minute that you don't know LemonMelon. Pretend that he's not an Interference member. Say, for example, that I made a DI list, and included in it some unknown, unsigned MySpace artist that I really liked. Is that within the rules?

Follow me for a second. Say I really like this particular artist, and it turns out that she's actually in a couple of different bands, or maybe not bands, but that she releases different kinds of music separately, under different stage names. If I wanted to put a song from each name on the same list, that would be within the rules.

I've never done DI, but from the one time I considered it and looked over the rules, I was made aware that one can include multiple songs from the same single performer, if they were released under different bands/projects. One could include a Beatles song, as well as a John Lennon song and a Paul McCartney song, right? How is this any different than what LemonMelon wants to do?

It's not. You just seem to be going against him for some reason, and I can only imagine that it must be because you have some bias against him, just because you know him. The fact that LemonMelon is an Interference member doesn't make him any less of a person, for fuck's sake. He's still an artist, and his songs are still valid, whether you want to admit it or not.

And listen to me for a moment, because you and I have talked honestly before, and you know that I understand what kind of shit you go through, because I've been through it myself, so don't you fucking dare think I'm just being mean to take the piss out of you or anything like that. I wouldn't do something like that.

But, I have to be honest here. You tend to play the woe-is-me card anytime someone disagrees with you, and claim that we're all against you. The fact is, you tend to make absurd arguments that go completely against everyone else's opinions, and you really shouldn't be surprised that you get given a hard time for it. You can't change who you are in that sense, and I'd never ask you to, but if you don't learn to give a little leeway, and at least grudgingly accept that NOT EVERYONE is exactly like you, then you're going to be miserable for the rest of your life, and continue getting into stupid petty arguments like these.

Go with the flow a little bit more in life, Justin. It makes life easier for everyone, yourself included.
 
If I do another Desert Island, I might just make my entire list songs that somehow involve Nels Cline. He's appeared in one capacity or another on probably 100 or more albums with plenty of different groups. That would really fuck up the mainstream.

NSW was in south central PA and didn't visit me? :grumpy:
