[arleybob]

[HampTheToker]

My ears are offend.

Yeah I hear people talking about this guy and I have tried to listen to him multiple times before but it just sounds absolutely terrible to me. Like some kind of circus music with a groaning dude or some weird shit like that is the best I could describe it.

[arleybob]

idk, i like his voice and as far as the music itself goes, i think it's great. he's a unique and innovative musician.

Swordfish trombone is a good place to start. A little less "unique" than most of his stuff. It's an acquired taste though, if you listen to it enough you'll really start liking it.

I haven't followed all this "hipster" bullshit.
One night on Stickam, P_R_Deltoid showed me his massive collection of vinyl records. I was shocked.
I tried to understand why he would bother collecting such things, but he would dismiss my questions as if it should be obvious.
It wasn't until months later that I realized collecting vinyl records is some kind of hipster trend.

Isn't it funny, when you're approached by someone who isn't aware of your stupid fads, and you have to explain how you're a dumbass?

Vinyl-fansfags claim that you get better sound quality from vinyl. Try explaining sample rates to them, all you'll get is a blank stare. They also deny that it's possible to scratch a record .

Maybe they just like collecting things? My grandfather collects stamps. Are you telling me that's worthwhile?









Orphans: Brawlers, bawlers and bastards is Tom Wait's best imo.
