Choon of the Day

[craner]

It's like somebody trying to foist an alternative history onto your own life, trying to invalidate your personal memories and emotions. It starts with Handbag house, and next thing you're a Trotsky-fascist wrecker.

 

[craner]

why we like is a very interesting question. it always does involve pitting ourselves against and aligning ourselves with other people/values

No it doesn't!

 

[luka]

yes it does, youre doing it right now. you're defending a position.

 

[woops]

'I just like it' is simply the reality.

I'm defending my own reactions to and memories of music, against the accusation that they are false. That's the extent of the position. It is not part of Third's culture war.

 

[craner]

the majority of snobs present as asymptomatic

I'm not a music snob, inverted or otherwise. I am in lots of other things, just not music. I don't have that relationship with music.

 

[craner]

"Just admit it, you have herpes."

 

[luka]

if you just admit it you wont have to keep defending yourself from the accusations

 

[craner]

I'm not admitting to something that's not true!

 

[Corpsey]

I've got fucking Saturday night in my head now all day thanks to your inverted snobbery!

 

[craner]

I've got fucking Saturday night in my head now all day thanks to your inverted snobbery!

Et tu, Corpsey?

 

[mvuent]

I'm not a music snob, inverted or otherwise. I am in lots of other things, just not music. I don't have that relationship with music.

i believe you craner

 

[luka]

i believe you are an inverted snob craner

 

[craner]

The only reason this whole thing started is because Third took offence to that glib comment I made about jungle in the Luke Slater thread. That was a mistake, I should never have dabbled in something that did not concern me.

 

[craner]

He is not one to overlook any slight in the techno war, no matter how minor the player or inconsequential the comment.

 

[craner]

Handbag was the soft underbelly of Craner, at which point he launched his retaliatory assault.

 

[craner]

He's opened up a second front on Twitter now.

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

next thing you're a Trotsky-fascist wrecker

truly you are the Bukharin of the Handbag Show Trials

willing to admit to the sum total of your crimes but not the crimes themselves

"I enjoyed handbag house but never as an act of inverted snobbery"

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

"craner looked from handbag to techno, and from techno to handbag, and from techno to handbag again, but already it was impossible to say which was which"

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

third persecuting someone for experiencing joy is extremely on-brand, it must be said, tho also why we love him
