    For the most part. What's so aggravating about the anti-hipster is a need to provide this wallflower narrative to peoples' lives.

    Worry about your own life, not mine.

    Was the whole point that dude is being paid to write reviews for records currently in stock on that website completely lost on you? Not like dude needs me to stick up for him but some of yall doth protest too much.

    Store stocks a product--->product has potential buyers--->review exhorts buyers to buy product--->product sells--->reviewer gets used again for future products. Dude wouldn't be writing these if a) they didn't sell records and b) people didn't like them.

    You mean the purpose of those reviews is not to reaffirm my taste and bolster my fragile self-esteem?

    I hate to drag this up since the thread seems to have taken its natural course, but I feel partially responsible for the mean direction it took. I also had to go to work.

    My problem with BB's reviews -- and there's only one -- is that it serves absolutely no function to enlighten the perspective buyer of what the record sounds like. Sure, he might say it has some stabs in it or that the synths dropped out of a wormhole, but, other than that, I'm not sold.

    This leads me to my point that TTL sells an image. I know because I was suckered by some of these reviews once before. BB's reviews are like words from the DJ star chamber: "Man, I'm such a wetmouth, I better do what he says and hit 'submit.'"

    That's it.

    There's fucking soundclips. You listen to them shits. If shit sounds dope, buy it. If it doesn't, then don't. You don't need a review to describe something that your ears can hear. What the fuck is so hard about that? I think dudes realized that for the most part record reviews are corny, so why not try to make them amusing?

    TOONCES!

    since no other ladies are here to sweeten up the salt, im the self appointed next best thing.

    ok dude, I think its time we confront this shit.

    you've gone around this site trying to claim you are the "next best thing" to women and homosexuals on here; in other words you've tried to say your understanding and relating to these 2 groups yet you throw the word "fag" around a duragatory way and talk about women like pieces of meat quite a bit

    I mean if you've convinced yourself that its cool for you to do this when other people have stated they have a problem with it, and then take it to the next level by claiming your just as level headed as most of the women on here get praised for being then you are sadly mistaken.

    Instead of trying to convince folks your a certain way, why don't you just "be"?

    Acts are for fake folk only

    You are getting crazier by the hour--I think you've outdone yourself with this post.

    Maaan, it seems like most of the anger is coming from people who feel that they've been suckered by TTLab.

    All I can say--and this goes for any sort of purchase--is do your own research; don't rely on the seller to be your sole source of information, because they're gonna be inherently biased.

    Do your homework, listen to the soundclips, and treat the TTLab reviews as the laughable diversions that they're intended to be.

    I'll admit my statement was made when I was pretty pissed and stressed at work, but I still stand by the whole hypocracy thing. I'm just gonna leave it at that, I said my piece, folks saw it, and I'm finished with the subject

    Who spends time reading threads this long?[/b]

    I'm as underemployed as the next guy, but even I would rather read a book than strain my eyes on this meshugas. I'm just saying.

    PLUR, guys, PLUR.

    i'd just like to point out that the fact that i am a ninja has nothing to do with me not being racist. its the fact that i am god's gift to women and gay men that makes me not racist. now get over here with them haunchy medallions of pork butt, you sexy mancow.
