rosco rathbone said:Manseed--seeing you post here reminds me of something I was thinking this day while walking through Hoboken, NJ---home of YLT, home of indie rock. As an indie scenester-you know what I'm talking about-I always felt out of sexual phase with other indie youths. To be blunt, while sensitive and poetic; I was seething with sexual rage and aggressiveness and always felt like a square peg in a round indie sexual hole. I had a Belle and Sebastian heart and Pantera balls. I know that you are a perverse man, though you hide your bad side well. Does this ring any bells with you, vibeswise??
Oh, most definitely, rapscallion, I hear your bells loud and clear. When I get too much treacle in my veins, when I find myself too drunk on Iron & Wine, I simply cleanse my system by listening to some intense neck-chord-bulging "fuck shit up" music at ear-damaging volumes. Catharsis by rage. I find old school Helmet to be an excellent purgative, but there are many others: Black Flag, Big Black, Jesus Lizard, Zeni Geva, Boris, Boredoms, Mudhoney ("Touch Me I'm Sick" will cleanse your palate of Belle & Sebastian right quick like), Bad Brains, Prong. There are even a handful of newer metal bands out there that don't suck, like Mastodon and High on Fire.
