marten, i love you!

by justine

questionable content is my current new obsession (i wouldn’t know how else to classify reading a thousand two hundred and twenty one strips in 3 days otherwise).

loved to see the way jeph’s style (may i call you jeph, mister jacques?) transitioned over 5 years. check out the vast difference between marten circa 2003 and marten today.

so alright, i enjoy actually being able to notice the subtle changes and refinements he made and also the sometimes huge leaps he made with the character designs.

my new hero *gush* had a music meme in one early post.

The following is my List. You may post Lists of your own in similar format, but if you talk shit about my List I am going to delete your comments because disagreeing with an opinion posted on the internet wastes my time and yours. The rules are that each component of your List can only contain five bands, so make your opinions count. You may not list a band on more than one category.

here are mine:

SOME BANDS THAT ARE GOOD
Interpol
Daft Punk
The Smiths
The Beatles
Röyksopp

SOME BANDS THAT ARE AWFUL
My Chemical Romance
Black Eyed Peas
Simple Plan (i hate hate hate them with every fibre of my being)
Linkin Park
Kanye West (aka Kanyena West)

SOME BANDS THAT ARE VASTLY OVERRATED
Broken Social Scene
Bright Eyes (yeah technically it’s just one dude, but)
Marié Digby (talentless cookie cutter LIAR)
Björk (trying too hard)
The Dave Matthews Band (boooooooooring)

SOME BANDS THAT ARE VASTLY UNDERRATED
Jack Conte – my favourite digg discovery so far (yeah yeah yeah)
KokoKaina – homegrown malaysian talent writing original songs (what marié digby wishes she was)
Lapsap – local eclectic-electro duo
Amiina – ethereal icelandic tinkling (yeah, they’re not obscure, but they’re passed over too much in favour of Sigur Rós)
Caroline – sweet, raw, tinkly

SOME BANDS THAT I USED TO THINK WERE AWESOME BUT AM NOW SORT OF BURNED OUT ON
Weezer
Goo Goo Dolls
any punk band i ever listened to
The Servant
System Of A Down
