I happened to have met Malkmus when he dropped their first 7" (slay tracks) off at my college radio station and so I got to follow Pavement's career and totally dig it. Those first couple of albums are required listenting! I got to see them live several times, including twice in Japan (the first time Gary was still on drums: what a nut!). I liked Guided by Voices as well but then they came to San Francisco and when I saw them live it kind of ruined it for me. The music is still great, but they were so cheesy on stage that I thought I was watching some lame 80s mtv rock band or something. I guess I'm just not a mid-west kind of guy. Every time I put on their CDs, I think of what they looked like and their stage presence and it kind of ruins the music, ha!
Considering my age and the fact that I grew up on punk rock, I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I kind of like the current crop of pop bands like the killers, death cab for cutie, heck, even coldplay is decent. Radiohead is still hanging in there and Wilco never ceases to amaze.

In music, there is no 'correct' when it comes to preferences you idiots. Good grief what a bunch of poser snobs. I hate Abba but they were one of the most popular bands ever. They brought enjoyment to millions. The sound of that band makes my skin crawl. I don't think everybody who loves them is an idiot.
I just hope they don't bring their Abba CD's to my BBQ and demand they be played.

Yesterday, she sat all afternoon in the pub (drinking coffee) signing riders out and back in on the new year's populaire (not a music genre). She makes sure my cycling strip is clean, reminds me to take my cell phone, books flights for international cycling events and generally ensures that I get on the bike.
She doesn't ride (except on the trainer) herself.

Deltron 3030
* a.k.a. Del the Funky *****apien
Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, hero, not no small feat
its all heat in this day and age,
i rage your grave,
anything it takes to save the day
nueromancer, perfect blend of technology and magic
use my rappin so you all could see the hazards
plus entertainment where many are brainless
we cultivated the lost art of study and i brought a buddy
automator harder slayer fascinating combinations
cyber warlords are activating abominations
arm a nation with hatred we ain't with that
we high-tech archeologists searching for nicknacks
composing musical [stimpacks?] that impacts the song
crack the motor what you think you rappin for?
I used to be a mech soldier but I didn't respect orders
I had to step forward, tell them this ain't for us
living in a post-apocalyptic world morbid and horrid
the secrets of the past they horded
now we just borded on a futuristic spacecraft
no mistakes black its our music we must take back
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
del i'm feeling like a ghost in a shell
i wrote this in jail playing host to a cell
for the pure verbal, they said my sentance was equivalent to murder
just another hurdle, i bounced through a portal
i knew they had the mindstate of mere mortals
my ears morphed to receptors to catch ya
every word about gravity control
and the families they hold for handsome ransoms
on the run with a handgun blast bioforms, I am more
than a planetwide manhunt with cannons
will make me abondon my foolish plan of uprising
f**k dying I hijack a mech
controlling with my magical chance so battle advance
through centuries a hip hop legacy, megaspeed
hyperwarp to automator's crib and light the torch
they can't fight the force,
victory is ours once we strike the source
enterprising wise men look to the horizon
thinking more capitalism is the wisdom
and in prison all citizens in power with rythm
we keep the funk alive by talking with idioms
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
isn't eternal evil concerned with thievery
medieval prehistoric rhetoric well we ahead of that
lay it down with soundwaves that pound pavement
original menstrals my central processing unit
is in tune with my heart for this art
not artificial cuz that makes it hard to miss you
copy cats finish last in the human race
staying glued to safes to prude to take a buddah brak
we got [espers] that let us bless with fresh ****
undetected by yes men questing for five fleeting nanoseconds of fame
protecting the brain from conspiracies against my cosmos
while i float to neo-tokyo with opio
or discuss combusitible rust clusters with plus
evade cyber police in a computer crib confuse the kids
but I can make a kickin rhymes thats sacred
telepathic mind that takes its greatness from the matrix [esper]
rhyme professor rushes in ultra pressures with correction measures
why half the worlds a desert
canibals eat human brains for dessert
buried under deap dirt, mobility innert
i insert these codes for the cataclysm
ever since I had the vision use my magnitism
in this modern metropolis they tries to lock us up
under preposterous laws thats not for us
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator
yo its three thousand thirty,
I want yall to meet deltron zero, and automator

you have no clue...deltron 3030 is a defining moment in hip hop
just like refused shape of punk to come is the same for neo punk.
two albums any open minded music fan must have.

Hip hop is music?
Are trailer parks subdivisions?

disappointed P...someone who is so understanding of strange and unusual things such as cycling should be open to the world of hip hop!
defeats the purpose and essence of your original post.

How cool is it when you tell your neighbor that your handlebars cost more than his entire new bicycle and he looks at you as if you're completely friggin off the hinges? And you know nothing you can ever say will ever make him understand.
Happy New Year Weenies. You're all friggin insufferable dorks, Freds, Road Nazis and Bike Weenies. And I'm just like every single one of you, but with a higher post count.
John Mayer is the goods, but Leo Kottke is where it's at, just sayin'.

"Nice" is rather tepid wouldn't you say? I'm totally strung out on just about everything Frissel has done since the beginning. In fact, I like it when he gets a bit more raw, like his '80s stuff. Having said that, I really dig the meandering, atmospherics of stuff like on Ghost Town.
I own most everything he's done, including his work with other musicians, such as Jack DeJohnette, Ginger Baker and the ineffable, long-time collaboration with Paul Motion & Joe Lovano. If you want to hear interstellar mind-melding via soundwaves, this is it! Otherworldly!

Gee whiz there's so much good music out there and no one has to rely on crappy top 40 radio to hear it anymore. I think the music scene is way better than it ever was.

What? You can't see the sublime poetry in such "rhymes" as:
(1) "N****s in the Bronx call me Lex cause I push a Lex, and I rock a Rolex and I lounge on Lex', and I love sex."
Peter Gunz, "Deja Vu: Uptown Baby"
Album: Make It Reign
(2) "If you don't bring back my m****f*****n money or my m***f****n dope, you can forget about Christmas n***a, cause you ain't gon even see New Years."
Master P ("Do You Know")
(3) "It's like fee, fie, foe, fum, I smell the blood of a jealous a*s punk."
Prodigy ("Click Clack")
Album: Blood Money
(4) "I like them black, white, Puerto Rican, or Haitian Like Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian."
Chingy ("Balla Baby")
Album: Powerballin'
(5) "Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three. We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight We back to sixteen, "
Foxy Brown ("Affirmative Action")
Album: It Was Written
(6) "Young, black, and famous, with money hanging out the anus."
Mase ("Can't Nobody Hold Me Down")
Album: No Way Out
(7) "I watch my back when I'm walkin, I watch my mouth when I'm talking. My glock cocked when I'm crawling."
Mike Jones ("Scandalous H**s")
Album: Who is MIke Jones?
(8) Now you know that I'm the Queen of Miami. All that loud talkin, lyin, save that sh*t for your mammy. Sounds like "blah, blah blah, blah bla blah-blah," I'm like uh-huh (uh-huh) okay (okay), Whassup (whassup) SHUT UP!"
Trina ("Here We Go")
Album: Glamorest Life
(1) "N****s in the Bronx call me Lex cause I push a Lex, and I rock a Rolex and I lounge on Lex', and I love sex."
Peter Gunz, "Deja Vu: Uptown Baby"

For many people, their taste in music is fixed at the first time they got laid/stoned/drunk/drafted.
