The Lemonheads Come On Feel

Aside from the fact that you need to quote the part where I speak ill of Husker Du (assuming I spoke ill of Pearl Jam, who knows).. anyway, to respond to Easycure, I included that excerpt from the interview with Evan Dando to explain how, when reviewing his album, I wanted to frame it within the context of the project that the artist in question had in mind.
Evan Dando wanted to differentiate himself from the grunge scene of those years, and his music was in a way a response, an alternative to American rock, although I would say that both share some common foundations. It's not about being "influenced" by the singer's thoughts; it's just how things were. Evan Dando hated Pearl Jam, and his music was also an indirect response to the grunge trend of that time. There's really no point in beating around the bush...

1. The phrase I had in my signature is spectacular.
2. But what the hell does it mean that if someone listens to "sunny" music they don't grasp "the art that matters"? Are you stupid? Even if the Lemonheads made "sunny" music (which was the complete opposite, as my review perfectly explains), but regarding the "sunny" music unworthy of the art that matters, go tell that to Bob Marley or Brian Wilson, idiot! What is it, are they not artists that count just because they don't talk about meditation, misery, and illness?? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!!!
3. I listen to music that speaks about teenagers... but come on, what were Husker Du talking about in "Zen Arcade"? About 42-year-old entrepreneurs? You see, I can't respond to what you write given the countless series of nonsense you come up with every time you speak?

That Evan Dando and Noel Gallagher are MTV legends is something I'm just discovering now... but what the hell are you talking about?

From an interview with Evan Dando in September 1996: "I love Noel, and I love Liam, and I love Oasis. And by the way, I hope the guy from Blur gets AIDS! Pffffffhyurkhyuk! No, I don't really, but that was a great touch, wasn't it? I like Oasis because they have that real strong, honest vitality, and yet they don't take themselves too seriously. I mean, it's rock n roll, and it's a joke, right? OK, it's honest and real, too, but the moment you start taking it too seriously you end up like Pearl Jam, man. They fucking suck. Just rock out, don't worry about it. Pearl Jam is like good time music—like Ryan Adams—with a frown on its face. Fuck 'em. Fuck Eddie Vedder. He's a good singer, though!"

This album is a despicable cop-out and Madonna has resorted to following Kylie Minogue, turning everything upside down.

Then you explain to me what the hell the Lemonheads did wrong to you... from the American bands of the early '90s, they are the ones I respect the most. Furthermore, my review wasn't intended to provoke anyone at all.

In my opinion, the best is "Stillness In Time," one of the most beautiful tracks by Jamiroquai.

Iko, the very fact that your presence on Debaser is solely justified by my figure is incredible; it's amazing how much you can write without saying anything at all. Come on, entertain me, clown! Dance on the table!!

Enough with these "Monday processes" over reviews. Are we joking?
I have this impression that if I were to deal with nuclear or quantum physics, you would think twice before commenting, you would treasure your cultivated ignorance. Yet when I talk about the most difficult art in the world, everyone feels entitled to pontificate, an orgy of nonsense, for an art form, music, of incredible delicacy, where you have to break down so many doors, be first a PhD and then tear apart any form of erudition, and not behave like housewives who sabotage the stoves and exchange them for a keyboard.
Who can decide what is right and what is not? Idiots! You are dull illiterates wrapped in a giant condom, the one your fathers should have used before conceiving you!!

Shut up, asshole! When you talk to me, you have to address me as "you" in the formal sense, do you understand? If I know how to write and have the skills to deal with groups and artists of various targets, you must recognize this talent of mine without a word. WITHOUT A WORD, got it? Everything these idiots write is just flattery, like the classic middle school classmates who mock out of jealousy because they’re envious of the one who gets straight As, and remind them that while they might end up as laborers, that one will become someone. What you’re displaying is simple frustration towards my talent.
