LOL!
“If the shoe fits, life is unfair”
Yeah…get a life, everyone. Don’t you know that RubberJohnny is screamo, not emo?? Duh, losers!
Didn’t RubberJohnny write that song – “Daddy Wouldn’t Give Me the Car Keys for the Prom So I’m Going to Learn some Bar Chords and Scream About It With a Contrived Accent?”
Let’s all leave ‘Little Nicky’ alone, its a huge job running Hell…
LOL. To be fair, child, I didn’t call you “emo.” I called you a culturally insensitive dumb ass and I made fun of you for your foolish understanding of “political correctness.”
PS: This website is not only viewed by people who are currently in the US. Sorry if I forgot to add that. I think this is another blow to that ridiculously uneducated (and quite frankly, laughably homophobic) comment that you left.
My advice remains unchanged: go back to school.
My eyes burn from these tears
You’d think I’d learn over these years
Good things won’t last forever
Let’s stop making fun of the poor emo kid. He’s obviously upset that people don’t think Goblin is the “album of the decade” with only two years under its belt and that “Radical” is the anthem of the decade.

I don’t know if I’m understanding this posting pictures in Stereogum thing correctly.
Oh this is a better one.
Poor guy just wants to be understood.
good one
I bet that insult cut pretty deep, didn’t it?
Get a life!
Was that directed toward myself? If so, I kindly accept your critique, though there isn’t much of a better way to spend a day at work with the boss away than making fun of someone who called people on here “faggots.”
haha, no. directed at the emo kid. because he said “get a life” in his original comment. and that’s just a really weird and funny thing to say.
I do kind of wish everyone didn’t pile on so bad. This dude is pretty hilarious. All these comments and thumbs down are either going to make him stop commenting or go overboard and his comments will start coming off forced, therefore losing their appeal.
Don’t worry about these guys Rubberjohhny, they are just a bunch of queers who didn’t even like Goblin.
Frank Arevalo is the best commenter of all time.
Agreed, I vow to no longer thumbs down his comments.
So, Goblin is the best album of a 2 year decade so far, Kanye West is better than the Beatles, and Curt Cobain, that guy from Alice ‘n Chainz who hung himself while listening to Automatic for the People, didn’t do anything for music ever.
I saw that Soundgarden/Kanye post way late, it’s a pretty HOF comment section. I was a little bummed I wasn’t involved.
haha i know you’re just siding with me for fun, but i appreciate it anyways. and don’t worry, i’m not gonna stop commenting. when i have an opinion, i’m gonna say it. when i don’t, i’m gonna keep my mouth shut.
When did I ever call anyone on here a “faggot?”
Faggot.
See? Now he is trying way too hard, god damnit you guys…
Sorry, you said “queers.” Keep up the good work, you’ve got a clean sweep on worst comments of the week.
“All you calling me emo”
Umm, it would seem that your comment is the first on the page meaning that you started this argument yourself with pretty much nobody. Emo, maybe not but attention whore, yes.
you know you should probably never comment on a stereogum article again, because seemingly, no one gives a shit about what youre saying.
Also, thumbs down for Best Original Song? Man or Muppet is a stone cold classic.
They snubbed Trent Reznor, The National, and Jónsi. Stupid category rules: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/01/24/original_song_oscar_rules_and_history.html
How about War Horse and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close being nominated for best picture? Is it possibly that the Oscars have less credibility than the Grammys at this point?
The answer since 1976: Yes
Woah, let’s not get carried away. No ceremony has less credibility than the Grammys!
While we’re on the topic: The Artist was nominated for best original score even though it appropriated some music from the score to Vertigo, meanwhile There Will Be Blood got snubbed a couple years ago because Jonny Greenwood reused one or two cues from Bodysong.
How is grabbing somebody elses music more “original” than reusing your own material?
That’s an interesting point.
Sounds like the Oscars are on some bullshit…

I think it was more a knock on the Oscars, and not Man or Muppet. It’s pretty hard to hate the Muppet movie IMO.
Crash winning in 2005 was the last massive buttfuck. That movie was simultaneously racist, misogynist, and terrible. How that movie was somehow deemed better than Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, AND Brokeback Mountain is beyond me.
More like Brokeback Mountain losing in 2005 was the last massive…oh never mind.
I’m reserving all judgment on Lana Del Rey until the album actually drops. I really like “National Anthem”; apparently most of you do not.
Hit CTRL+F: search 311. Found nothing.
*Sad Lana*
Maybe it was because some who do not Come Full Range are doubting the Soundsystem. To them I say:
guns are for pussies.
i’m still mystified…how is LDR trending down but still in first? do the thumbs mean anything at all? after two straight weeks with downward trends, so does this mean that two weeks ago she was ranked -1? please help.
read the description
The answer is simple. Lana Del Rey is a beautiful disaster.
Isn’t there a new Mazzy Star album coming out? Isn’t that a much better salve to LDR than friggin’ Fiona Apple? Common Burn is a better song than Video Games anyhow.
Yeah, Chris Cornell. Saying “retard” is so gay…
nice! i felt this really summed about the article with an interesting bit of insight, cheers!
