Best venue south of Ralph's. Their taco truck virtually balances out the hipster scourge. A buttdart pogrom would be more apropos. Ahhh, forgive my ignorance then. I have absolutely no attachment to the area, but perhaps if I was able to experience Union Pool I would change my mind. |

You do know that by garnering even one response to such shenanigans automatically incorporates you into the discussion right? You could easily just continue listening to music and not respond. Just sayin.' I could. I just don't get why dudes need to mash dicks together to see who goes soft first. Or, I don't understand the need to care or protect something, that cannot be protected. As long as there is quality people, writing quality songs and performing quality shows, the shenanigans of some should not matter to the many. A court jester is best left ignored.

| __________________________________________ [Jun 14,2011 12:13pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] One thing I've noticed about most people's defense of Liturgy is they mostly say "Black Metal isn't all about Norway and Satan" in far too many words. Congratufuckinglations, you figured out what people who actually gave a shit about black metal realized over 10 years ago. Go watch until the light takes us again. |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 14,2011 4:08pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] First off, it needs to be pointed out that black metal is a culture. To pretend otherwise implies that one either isn't versed in the material enough to know any better, or simply doesn't wish it to be the case. (And, let it be said, an awful lot of people deeply wish that this music _was_ free of any actual semantic content, so that they could have the luxury of listening to it without appearing to support something that actually _means_ anything.) A culture, albeit a fracticious one, comprised of hateful, intolerant, isolationists, but a culture nonetheless, and it's been that way since the "second wave" in Norway (and arguably before). And, while I'm totally ok with hidden knowledge (and black metal certainly shouldn't attempt to be "transparent" and lay open all its secrets to anyone who asks), this kind of dialogue does define the perception of a culture (even within itself). By no means would I ever let the surface perception of this define what I do, but I know from walking around with the weirdo neurology I've got that you do live in a world of other people's perceptions, whether they line up with yours or not. So I don't see why I'm supposed to just throw up my hands and say, "Fuck it - let the morons have it" because it's the polite thing to do. Let bullshit be illuminated as what it is. I feel like the people who are the most invested having a critique-free environment are the ones who fear they'd have something to be critical of. I'd prefer to answer to any public attack than to rely on the whisper-behind-the-back method (the biggest advantage of which is that the party in question can't answer an accusation they're not aware of). |
