try sending the exact same email to Marcel but with the names switched and see what his response is
>>61606990
lol, what's his email
>>61607008
[email protected]
he makes this public so this is not doxxing don't worry
>>61606917
your writing is shit and overbearing
I emailed him asking if he would review The Ark Work and he replied later with the review.
>>61607057
I know that's the point, I was trying to make him like me
>>61607061
link? I like would like to read that.
>>61607194
it's on Liturgy's page ya doof
basically says that if there was a solid direction to the record it would have been great
I disagree but oh well
>>61607061
Like he actually replied to you with a link to the review he ended up making or he just never directly responded to you and eventually put the review up on his website?
did you ask him if he had started reviewing Blackstar?
>>61607022
>[email protected]
okay I sent him it
I'll make a thread with a response if there ever is one
>>61606917
the writing style of this email fits the image I have of people who care about Scruffy pretty much perfectly
I also enjoy his reply
>>61607236
Like he'd review a Bowie album when he hasn't done any recent reviews since Jenny Death or The Color of Pomegranates
It hurt me to read that. Is English your first language?
>>61607218
I asked you to link it you fucking piece of shit. Hope you think about a severed hand in your mom's distended cunt next time you touch your willy.
>>61607267
>>61607295
see >>61607176
I was only pretending to be retarded
It helps that I actually am retarded though
>>61607295
What's wrong with it?
>>61607235
Pretty sure what happened was I emailed asking if he would review it, then once he finished and posted it he emailed the link.
>>61607236
He dislikes Bowie and Bowie is on his most overrated artists with the Beatles and Elvis
>>61607354
Okay
Just was interested
Thanks
I'm not >>61607302 or >>61607194 also
Really though when will he do more reviews?
>>61606917
why do you sound like such a desperate beta? you're literally asking someone if they've heard of a couple of bands before
>>61607392
I was going to wait and email after I thought of more bands to ask about but just ended up doing these two impulsively because of what was on the top of my head
Also fucking >>61607176 >>61607329
I've sent him a few notifications about errors on his website. His typical response is:
'thank you. I've fixed it now :)'
>>61606917
i emailed him once telling him to "review the new julian casablancas album its better than that peace [sic] of shit garbage trout mask replica that u pretend to like to look cool"
the next day he gave it a 4.5/10
true story
>>61607342
It's not the fact that it's so over the top. I get what you were going for. It's just poorly written.
>>61607176
>i was tyring to make him like me
he gets emails like this every hour of every day. what he sees when he reads them is 15 year old pimple faced thick rim-glasses wearing faggot hipsters who use music as fashion
just doing you a favor
>inb4 le projection xD
>>61606917
bump
I did but he ignored me :(
>>61608139
thanks for bumping my thread bud
>>61607706
Oh I'm not denying you're totally right
I just wanted to know what he would say so I was just saying what I thought he'd want to hear
Which is a lot what I would have written if I actually did want to sound eloquent
>>61608665
kek
>>61608665
saving this image as it seems like it could be useful
>>61606917
What the fuck is up with this roundabout way of saying even the most simple of things?
>>61608665
>via comcast.net
>>61606917
3 times :
- one for a translation
- one about Metal Machine Music's rating change when Lou Reed died (even posted the caps here)
- once about his political view of Russia where he gave a surprinsingly long answer.
OP do you have an update for us yet from Marcel?
>>61607176
what makes you think that would make him like you? goddamn you're autistic
>>61608501
did you try to get him to donate his penis for u?
>>61608665
but... what did you say?
>>61610300
Nothing too interesting, really. Told him how big a fan I was. Recomended him a few albums. Asked him if he wanted a rip of one of the cassettes I mentioned because it's literally impossible to get through normal means, he said yes so I sent him the files.
i asked him to check out a recent russian band a few days ago, I compared them to faust so i'm hoping that he'll give them a chance
>>61610508
I'm going to email him a What.cd invite, just to outdo you.
>>61610557
dude that album is terrible
well i think i know the one youre talking about
>>61610557
what band
>>61610884
I didn't rec him a specific album
>>61610888
Won James Won
>>61610856
>mfw Scaruffi only gets his emails in bursts of 200-300 and wonders what the shit's going on
>>61610925
Won James Won is shit, m8
>>61611140
"no"
>>61611140
dude you like fucking ska-prog
>>61611154
Just joking. I have it on my backlog.

Marcel replied to me.
I feel bad?
>>61611403
lmfao
>>61611403
Send him the link of this thread now, lol
>>61611434
no it'll break his heart :(
>>61611191
Hey again
The Seaside is still better than Sing to God
>>61611459
It's really not, sorry. It's completely fine to like Seaside more, but it's just not true for that album to be the best Cardiacs album.
Nah sorry, I'm not actually a directly mean person, I only make threads about them anonymously
I already feel bad so I'm just going to let him feel happy
>>61611191
I'm fairly sure you'll like them, even if some of their albums might seem gimmicky they're always exploring different concepts with each release and the ever-changing nature of their music should be able to satisfy your ADHD
>>61611487
lol everytime I see you I just tell you this just to fuck with you
I honestly can't decide which I like most just because under so many different kinds of standards just about any of their albums could be considered to be their strongest, I get why you like Sing to God though.
>>61611559
>the seaside
stupid ska music trying to sound like genesis with peter hamill
>sing to god
they listened to a couple of queen albums
>thread degenerates into faggot trips circlejerking
>>61611780
This thread was awful to start with.
>>61611559
I know :)
I too get why I like StG the most, but I really think it's their best album, and not just because it's my favorite.
>>61611780
>OP's thread was related to music critics
>discussion towards other music critics emerge
I don't see anything surprising.
>>61611403
i feel bad for him. you guys make fun of him a lot and clearly he wants to fit in. what do you guys get out of making fun of him? he likes music like everyone else here.
>>61609353
>- once about his political view of Russia where he gave a surprinsingly long answer.
Could you post it?
>>61611997
yeah I already feel bad for sending the email to him
Marcel if you're seeing this I actually am sorry and I respect your response. I wish you didn't do things like you did with Devin but you are still a good person, stay that way and away from /mu/.
>>61612389

>he likes music like everyone else here.
>he wants to fit in
The problem with Marcel is that his taste is the same cliquish Needledrop/ Pitchfork shit everyone on the internet already listens to. He offers no knew perspectives, nothing worth thinking twice about, and mentioning him at all reinforces the idea that generic indie and related shit is all there is to listen to.
>>61612751
>same cliquish Needledrop/ Pitchfork shit everyone on the internet already listens to
this was the first album he gave an 8/10 to this year. i have seen no one but him talk about it:
https://paulhares.bandcamp.com/album/astral-travel
>>61612907
A third of the way through, so far pretty decent for some bandcamp Boards of Canada/ Daniel Lopatin fanboys. Nothing close to 8/10 though. 6/10 at most.
>>61613120
also it seems like he's been growing away from indie stuff regardless and posting more obscure bandcamp releases such as the one i linked. he also likes Henry Flynt's music a lot, which makes him alright in my book.
>>61613189
Liking Henry Flynt is his most a'ight quality, but still. People blow up his liking one halfway decent experimental artist into a stroke of fucking genius.
And when he's not rating Indie he's rating the exact same kind of entry level or random soundcloud artists most indie fanboys gravitate to.
>>61613399
you raise some fair points. i personally don't mind what anyone listens to or likes as long as they're a likeable personality but thats just me.
>>61613622
what is that
>>61613543
As a person, he could be the most likeable person in the world for all I care. I never read too much of his or Fantano's reviews or his vlogs or however it is they communicate to people.
The problem is, as far as ratings or analyses, it's the same commercial advice you'll see anywhere else.
