Random Music Talk CV: The Human Fund - Money for Leo

[IWasBored]

If Twiztid hadn't been so douchey and horrible, I might have something to say about how it was shitty for people at the warped tour to throw bottles filled with dirt at them. But they kind of deserved it.

The Locust got heckled so badly here when they opened for Andrew WK (ugh, this was like 9 or 10 years ago i guess) that they came out with a boom box playing mariachi music, danced around on stage to it for 5 minutes and then left without ever playing.

The only time I really hate mosh pits are at ska shows, but it's what happens when a shitty more popular pop punk band who draws frat kids rather than actual punk/hardcore kids is on the bill. They think they're actually supposed to be in a fight. I can't even imagine how obnoxious dropkick murphys shows are now.

Between Otep and Twiztid, I feel like this is the most you or anyone else has discussed rap metal in quite some time. Not since ICP's Miracles video came out, I guess.

I think I mentioned it before, but when I saw MGMT during their Congratulations tour they were a better live band by that point, but I had to awkwardly attend the show with a bunch of preteen girls. It was a weird live setting.

I want to see U2 this year but I'm worried bono will not be out of his coma.

Rap metal is proof there is no god.

This is kind of brilliant.

now that I've done my part to remind us all of some of the shittiest music ever created this side of skrilex, let's forget about it for another 5 years, yeah?

 

[david]

Does skrilex make music? I thought he was just a DJ. I'm out of touch with edm though.

I saw an ICP interview regarding their wrestling career the other day.

They actually come off as sorta likeable.

I'm still scared by this revelation.

 

[david]

Its like when I went to a coworker's party and she was excited about a DJ she had for the evening and I laughed because it was a dude with a laptop.

 

[david]

I think ICP are fascinating in the sense that they're savvy businessmen who make money off the lowest common denomination of society.

I have no idea how that works. I always thought that people who put out albums with their names on them were essentially creating music, by whatever loose definition of the term that might be. I know nothing about it, other than that stuff needs to die in a fire.

Skrillex is as much a musician as the members of ICP are professional wrestlers.

 

[Axver]

Fuckin' music, how does that work?

 

[david]

Haha

Perfect.

 

[david]

I just know that juggalos are really scary.

 

[liamcool]

I think I want to go to a Gathering of the Juggalos out of a sense of fascination. It's the yuppie-free Burning Man. I have no idea what I'd see there, and it'd probably scar me.

A year or so I finally googled the magnets thing cos I missed that whole icp return thing, and I was tired of hearing the reference and not getting it. I must have spent like 4 hrs reading and watching shit on the whole juggalo thing. As someone who thought they understood plenty of outsider, non-mainstream subcultures and their appeals to their particular groups of outcasts, I have to admit I was still pretty mystified by how they created such a thing.

 

[david]

I like a certain aspect of wrestling, but man is it incredibly boring these days. By wrestling I mean WWE. I think there are some smaller independents that are probably cool.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey, I haven't been sigged in a while. I feel like ICP must have felt after winning their first Juggalo Championship Wrestling belt.

 

[IWasBored]

Fuckin' music, how does that work?

Only DJing. Nope, I don't get it.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling (formerly Juggalo Championshit wrestling).... Haha

 

[IWasBored]

I also don't get pro wrestling. It makes maybe a little more sense when I think of it as soap operas for dudes, but then I still don't get how anyone would rather watched roided up, greased up dudes in speedos fake fight when there's such a myriad of boxing, kickboxing, and mma to be had.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling

How did I not know this existed before tonight.

What a time to be alive.

 

[LemonMelon]

Juggalo Championship Wrestling (formerly Juggalo Championshit wrestling).... Haha

They should have kept the old name. It was perfect.

Skimming the article that indie fed reminds me of the appeal of the original ECW.

They have the best fuckin' commercials.

 

[david]

Oh yeah the royal rumble is tonight.

 

[Axver]

I can't imagine living in a part of the world where an ad for something ICP/Juggalo-related would ever actually play on telly.
