alt-country.org is dying

It has a cancer that has been rotting away at it for years now and has spread rampantly through its server. You can smell the gangrenous flesh slowly decaying.

Of course the .org has been wallowing in the denial and anger stages for quite some time. Depression stage too. (BIG TIME)

I see the bargaining stage trying to peek its head out. (See the 'if you could bring back one .orger' thread.

It won't be long now and the .org will slip into the acceptance stage.

His name's codine
He's the nicest thing I've seen

Re: alt-country.org is dying

I blame Ryan Adams. And I mean that. But maybe that was his ultimate goal:

By "quitting" music, there wouldn't be anything he could do that would be controversial and people on this board would have little to talk about, thus effectively bringing down the evil message board that sought his destruction in the first place.

Well played, sir.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

not exactly a lot of popular artists playing alt-country any more. We can only argue so long about whether Jeff Tweedy is a milionaire or not or if Wilco has sold out or not. I think El M is on to something here, but he could have gone further to say that Ryan probably intentionaly recorded 2 lame-ass CDs so there would be no debate on here. It's boring when we all agree.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

i think the place is fine.

have some people left? yeah.

are the threads and replies at the breakneck speed they once were? no.

but this place can be whatever you want it to be. if you want to spend all day "chatting," then start some new threads. if you want to read and post on breaks at work, you can do that.

i like this place. it is my favorite message board ive ever posted on. granted ,there havent been a ton of those but this one is not moderated into the ground, nor is it boring.

i like a lot of the e-ple that post here. i find good music here.

i dont rush home to keep posting, so frankly i dont really care if like 4 people are online at night time. it is itneresting while im at work and thats all i care about.

Nah, the 'org's just fine. It morphed from a Ryan fan site to a Ryan hate site and then to a who-gives-a-fuck-about-Ryan site.

Shit, even slagging off on RAA's finally become a bore.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

"It morphed from a Ryan fan site to a Ryan hate site"

Biggest misconception about the .org is that most of us hate Ryan or hated him at some point. I can only think of maybe 2 people here who have stated their dislike for him. Usually we are the ones responding to one of the juvenile spit balls he lobs at us once in a while (remember "moaning lifeless sloths"? We were called that because we knew the truth about JP leaving the band). Anyway, I think we mostly like the guy and almost all of us have a few CDs of his we really like or even love. But he still needs to get over himself and get back to making challenging and heart-felt music instead of the lazy strummy twaddle of the last 2 CDs.

E-courting, holmes. Major difference. Kind of what you did with Brandy and Rinda, but w/o the ball-gag references.

alt-org has been healthier, but im with spec on this, i like the place as long as something positive happens on it every day when folks are kind to eachother & laffing together not at somebody elses expense. i get tired of gay threads, if you aint gay please dont call everybody it all the time, it is so last year. i love it when folks mention music and when folks support somebody elses music on the board, i like it when people are funny and not reaching for funniness and being asshats in the process. communities are for supporting eachother. i left for over one year and bothered to come back to give it another chance at some positivity. when that is gone, im gone. i for one salute ryan for getting us together, i love some of you & get a kick outta others.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

for scummy or anyone else that wasn't around back then....JP abruptly left the tour (late 05 or early 06?) which was on the west coast at the time and flew back to NYC. Someone who posted here at the time knew JP and saw him in NYC and JP said he was through with the Cardinals, so naturally we were discussing this situation and Ryan went apoplectic and issued a statement saying JP was still in the band and called us 'a bunch of moaning lifeless sloths'. Twas the beginning of the animosity (if that's what you call it) between Ryan and the .org which, of course, culminated with him shutting down ryanadams.org.
And we were right - JP never played with him again.

"hmmm wonder what made him leave the tour...pushed or walked?"

the reason behind this is likely the reason the cardinals turned into lukewarm tasteless slop. the musical equivalent of a bologna sandwich.

ever notice that when old ry ry was at odds with people in his band, they made awesome music?

but once he finally compiled his "dream" band of people who would do whatever he said, and never gave him shit back, the music began to suck. hard.

he might be incapable of being a hero anymore without a villain nearby. the worst thing for him creatively is affirmation.

you could say he either has to be alone or with people who won't take his shit. having agreeable people has an adverse effect on his creativity.

I'm not sure he needs an adversary in the band so much as he needs someone a little more adventurous - someone willing to push him rather than just nod and agree with everything he says. The last version of the Cards just seemed to content to get into a nice easy groove, rather than moving towards the edge and taking a chance.

Notice how I mentioned no names and the "douchebags" called themselves out. A lot of you are under the impression that I don't like you. Most of you are wrong. Just don't be monotonous. Then maybe you can advance to douchenozzle second class. 'Tis a great honor.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

the reason behind this is likely the reason the cardinals turned into lukewarm tasteless slop. the musical equivalent of a bologna sandwich.

Now, that's a criticism I can get on-board with.

Although, every now and then I do like a bologna sandwich....

Re: alt-country.org is dying

  • 6/30/09 3:24:44 PM



No matter how they slice it, bologna is the scraps pulled from aside other wonderful cuts of meat so carelessly that it gets mixed with feces and other waste, processed and slapped in a perfectly round little package.

You might get a 'hankerin' for it now and again, but after the first bite or so you realize that it was just your nostalgic mind trying to convince you that the middle trot bland crap you enjoyed as a kid just still satisfies your more sophisticated palette.

And when you throw out that package of green moldy shit you curse the profit-minded bastard who figured all he had to do was brand doo doo with a trusted name and people would pay to eat it.

- Ryan Ada.ms

Re: alt-country.org is dying

I've actually seen bologna made before and it's really not that bad. Lots of urban legend behind it's perceived nastiness.

But, yeah. Usually one sandwich and I'm done. And you've actually seen it mold? How long do you have to keep it around for that to happen? Years? I was pretty sure that there's enough preservatives in it to make it last forever.

Re: alt-country.org is dying

In one sense, this board died when Ryan got it shut down. Shit turned sour fast and for a while it was damn near a Ryan hate site.

That said, it remains the best damned free-for-all messageboard based in music appreciation that I've come across yet and personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass if any of you left. There is indeed a slew of wonderful folks who have departed but you know what? Fuck them and the keyboard they rode in on. I assume and trust that the day Dose storms off, you'll all just pick up and move on with what's left of your lives. It is unfortunate that it doesn't attract the same level of traffic that it did when folks were discovering Ryan Adams' active career but nobody makes or breaks this board.

It's an easily remedied problem though, right? (coughbancough)

Kind of like having a sore throat and saying, "Well I guess I'm dead; I can't possibly fix a sore throat," while holding a bottle of NyQuil.

I'm not saying that I support a ban (or NyQuil), just saying that remedies exist, so we shouldn't bitch too much, especially if you're the one holding the NyQuil, Mr. Mojo!
