The Weekly Music Discussion Thread Is Rubber And You’re Glue

Let’s discuss any and all music here. You’ve got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Do you have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s prompt: The Diss.

What are some of your favorite musical insults?

Jim O’Rourke’s album Insignificance is full of ’em! The song “Memory Lame” has some that are devastating. He really doesn’t care for the song’s subject. Check out this bit…

These things I say, may seem to offend
But not half as much, as I’d like to intend
Listening to you, reminds me of
A motor’s endless drone
And how the deaf are so damn lucky

and from “Therefore, I am”…

As you can see, I’m a happy guy
Don’t need nothin’ to get me down
’Cause I’ll always have you

and from “Life Goes Off”…

And now that you’ve gone off
And all of this has passed
I don’t recall your face no more
But you left behind your mask

If I were to die with these things gone
I’d be frozen with a smile

I mean, oof! Right? What’s your favorite caustic couplet? Tell us that raging rhyme makes you think “Damn!” Or just talk about your latest jam. Let’s dance about some architecture here, y’all. And as always, rock out with yr guac out.
