Even after translation it’s still bullshit.

"The only way for me to save The Beatles and Apple — and to release Get Back by Peter Jackson which allowed us to release Anthology and all these great remasters of all the great Beatles records — was to sue the band," McCartney told British GQ. "If I hadn’t done that, it would have all belonged to Allen Klein. The only way I was given to get us out of that was to do what I did."
LOL. he basically accidently admitted it was all about the money in the long run.

Confession: Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five just came up on a compilation album, and in a context that did not involve SHF or immersion into Macca-ness, it was perfectly enjoyable. It's book-ended by King Heroin by James Brown and Sweet Mountain by Spring (Brian Wilson's project for his wife and her sister/his lover) which is an odd selection.

Some of you guys have to realize we are poking fun at those people because of their ongoing stupidity and shut-in ignorance. No one is saying you can't enjoy music or fucking toys or whatever the fuck it is you want.
There's been an air of SHiteyness recently here where every fucking post is met by "well I kinda like this album" or "I like comics etc...." or "yeah but what about".
What's the point of having THIS place if it's going to turn into THAT place!?

It's just a natural flow of discussion; it's possible to hold those fuckers in contempt but also have a reasonable couple of posts talking about A Wizard, A True Star because we're all functioning adults (well, mostly). Makes it at least semi-interesting beyond just calling them all fuckwits.

What's the point of having THIS place if it's going to turn into THAT place!? You encapsulate very neatly something I took something like 1500 words to say in a post about two and a half years ago. While this is not meant as a criticism of this forum or the people here, it is a reality that this is a forum full of SHites. As such, it shares more in common with Hoofer's than it doesn't. This ain't no kiwifarms here. This is the flaw in the ointment that might not have been evident when the forum started nearly two decades ago, but as we get older, it becomes more apparent. Perhaps the fire has gone out in a lot of bellies in those two decades? Again, that's not a put-down. Just an observation, and probably it is natural and normal. SCTV had a helluva run though.

Makes it at least semi-interesting beyond just calling them all fuckwits. Fully agree. And I didn't mean to lose it on your post, it just seems like everyone wants to defend themselves lately. You all know I love Rush. Do I care that some of you think they are shit? Not one iota. You can make fun of them all you want. Some of it is even deserved. I listen to a ton of garbage. But I won't get upset if some of you don't like it. Now let me go back to playing Folklore......

Lol. And yet I knew Anti-Ram was going to come around once the new Macca box dropped. Sorry, given everything else going on in the world, I don't have the energy to be quite so merciless towards whatever boomer bullshit some of the other people here are into. 1985 sucks, and so does late period Lou Reed. There you go. Off to listen to Lulu.

Antiram is right, this ain't no kiwifarms and that's just fine by me. I lurk there every so often, and they mostly seem like a bunch of miserable and hateful pricks, not to mention that it seems like a good breeding ground for the alt-right. But we still wanna clown on these idiots, and it's fun and cathartic. I think there's a fear of being hypocritical. I know I'm guilty of that insecurity. But remember, we don't hate MYKE because he listens to southern rock. That's the least of his issues. Does it really matter that these guys obsess over the Beatles or the Monkees? Not really. But we don't ponder shit like "what if the Beatles were Yugoslavian" or other total dribble. There's nothing wrong or funny about Scoot or rfreeman making shitty music. What's funny is that they think it's manna from heaven. And of course, we can all poke fun at audiophilia and the cult of STeVE and all that shit because we apply just the lightest amount of critical thinking which is something sorely lacking (and worse, hardly encouraged) over there. That's what makes us different from them. I hope we are truly enjoying listening to music and collecting toys or watching movies or sticking fingers in deer or whatever it is we're into. Otherwise what's the fucking point? I don't want the main focus of my pleasure to revolve around bent corners and shipping notices and 23 cent discounts from Amazon Zimbabwe, or waveforms and brick walls and suck outs. As usual, I don't even have a point, so this poat ends here.
Well, one more thing. Most of the new bonus tracks on the Flaming Pie box were pretty mediocre. But I did enjoy the disc of him talking about his studio, demonstrating his instruments and control room. That was an enjoyable hour. Very much a precursor to that Abbey Road show he did in 2005 (which I fucking love.)

I still enjoy this place, but after 15 years it’s hard to work up a lot of enthusiasm. It was honestly a bit of a relief when the old place shit the bed. I had zero interest in being responsible for it or doing any kind of admin shit. I haven’t even looked at Hoofville in several years and with all the real existential threats we’re facing these days, it’s hard to get worked up about anything that Hoofy is doing.
