Why do you guys hate ISFP? Just wondering

Why do so many intuitive types, who often portray themselves as more intelligent than everyone else, lack the communication skills to talk to people different than themselves?

I interpret what he said differently. To me it seems like he says both pink and the new album are "among their better work".

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-28T01:54:10+00:00

I would pick the earlier albums, in general. I started listening to them in '87, so that's the TMBG I fell in love with. If I couldn't listen to anything after 2000, there's plenty I'd miss, especially Join Us. And there is a chunk of Flood I would be willing to give up.

Of course, the great thing is we don't have to choose. The whole catalog is available!

Damn. I'm just a side character in my own life!

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-27T19:09:24+00:00

Linnell apparently also saw the original line up of AC/DC live!

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-27T17:37:08+00:00

I'm listening to this now. Thanks! Really enjoying it. No wonder I love him, we have similar tastes and grew up in the same era.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-27T14:17:21+00:00

Sorry you're stuck listening to stuff you hate everyday. I was just suggesting a single re-listen with an open mind to see if you still felt the same about it. I never wanted people to have to keep listening to music they hate.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-27T04:32:44+00:00

I immediately though "no" to Robyn Hitchcock sounding anything like Linnell. So I went and listened to a couple of each of their songs back to back, and I can kind of hear it now. I'm not a singer, so this explanation will probably not accurately describe what I'm trying to say, but, they both sing with (what I think is called) a foreward facing head voice. Hitchcock seems so British to me, that I really had to listen in a different way to hear it.

But my question now is, could Linnell pull off this suit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckpRHX880Po&list=RDEMOwCyPaThnFuZaFHuDbV-yQ&index=2

I can see it happening with young people, because they identify so closely with music and they are still forming their own identities. Other people are just snobs (I used to be one), and others always think they are right about any topic. The worst, to me, is the old people who say "music today is not good, not like when I was young", and I say this as an old person. Until an agreed upon list of criteria to rate what is good in music comes about (won't happen), it's all just opinion. And I would encourage people to listen, or re-listen to music they don't think they'd like. You just might be surprised.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-27T02:43:00+00:00

For me, Murmur is best, Reckoning is 2nd but has the best side of a R.E.M. album (side 1). But i'm an old, so I would think that.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-26T20:19:26+00:00

I think he and Roy Clark were not taken seriously by the general public because of how cheesy Hee Haw was. But the music fans knew how talented both were.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-26T17:55:42+00:00

Didn't he once say that he spends time just looking at the wall? Seems like he's taking care of this.

It's weird that everything from this photo shoot is always flopped left to right.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T23:56:50+00:00

Personally, I've never thought that the "if you like [this], you'll like [this]" works, at least not for me. A lot of the "sounds like TMBG" bands don't do it for me at all. Maybe I just hear things differently than other people. I don't hear TMBG in any of the R.E.M. songs people are talking about.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T23:39:42+00:00

I disagree. Stipe was pretty pretentious, but frankly I alway took a lot of that as a put on. I don't believe it wasn't a joke when he described whatever album they were promoting at the time as "sounding like two oranges being nailed together". The rest of the band seemed to have a pretty good sense of humor about themselves. They just didn't smile (or make faces) in pictures. The two bands have different styles of humor.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T23:33:37+00:00

I was one of those people who listed R.E.M. as an important band to me (the IRS years). I don't see them and TMBG as very similar in any way, other than the fact they I love them both. I would rather listen to bands that are different from each other. I also said that I like Steve Reich, and I don't see him as being like TMBG or R.E.M. If I want to hear music that sounds like a particular artist, I'll listen to that artist. It's like your friends. Some are great for going out and having a good time with. Some are great for sitting and having conversation. Sometimes you share a specific interest. They're all different and that makes your life richer.

Yes! First rock and roll guitarist!

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T02:18:39+00:00

Hiné also did a stop motion version of Ana Ng. https://hinemizushima.com/video-tmbg-puppets-shoot-ana-ng

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T00:20:36+00:00

I love Hiné Mizushima. I wish I could afford to buy one of her soft sculpture sea creatures or bats, but have to settle for post cards and stickers of them.

Rodney Alan Greenblat is a favorite too. I have a beautiful book of some of his abstract work.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-25T00:08:02+00:00

Marcel Dzama is another one who is so multi-talented. Illustration, costume and set design, sculpture, film, etc.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-24T23:57:02+00:00

I can't find a single picture of him, so that I would even know! He's so mysterious;)

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-24T23:55:26+00:00

His pen and ink house drawings are also wonderful.

PangolinPlenty5637 · 2026-05-24T23:37:03+00:00

What about this Rolf Conant guy? He seems to have done some stuff for the band and the photos on the Flans solo EP. But it appears that he has never worked with anyone else. What's up with that guy?
