I probably couldn't listen to Gary Numan or David Byrne if I let a musician's personality get in the way of my listening at this point. Both of them are ego-driven to the point of madness. I'd probably add Morrissey to the list, too, but most of his public shenanigans fall into obvious troll behavior.

Also: Skrewdriver. Donaldson's got a helluva voice.

ro: put together my random off-the-cuff evaluation of my favorite albums from each of discogs's major genres:

electronic: boo williams - 'home town chicago lp'
rock: christian death - 'only theatre of pain'
pop: zhou xuan - 'the legendary chinese hits'
funk / soul: alemayehu eshete - 'ethiopiques 9: alemayehu eshete (1969-1974)
hip hop: dj krush & toshinori kondo - 'ki-oku'
blues: ethel waters - 'the chronogical classics 1929-1931'
children's: the child development group of mississippi - 'head start'
classical: julius eastman - 'unjust malaise' [for now - conlon nancarrow is probably gonna usurp eastman soon]
folk, world, and country: v/a - 'sacred guitar and violin music of the modern aztecs'
jazz: django reinhardt - 'the classic early recordings in chronological order'
reggae: augustus pablo - 'king tubbys meets the rockers uptown'

after writing out those genres, i realized how silly their major umbrellas are, so brass/military was removed, as well as latin (seems like it can't be super distinct from folk/world/country). also, non-music and stage & screen... uh...

also, re:moby, his politics are so bland, and even though i'm on the left side of things, self-satisfied, vaguely elitist liberals annoy me just as much as staunch republicans; they miss the point of being the supposed working class party when they're always so tin-eared to the problems of the actual people. i avoid the 'l-word' at all costs, even if the 's-word' gets me ****

The person using this name on reddit, youtube, and okcupid is not really me.

Peekyou.com is not good for my paranoia.

This sounds similar to that person who created the RYM account trying to mimic every single one of your ratings. Good thing that account isn't active anymore, I think it's been deleted actually, but I'm not 100% sure.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;)

Maybe, but it's also creepy as ****.

i'm pretty sure we tracked that back to a former hor user whose username i would recognize if i saw it. also, this copycat strangely rated only one thing differently than 'stasis, giving a stasis 4.5 a 5.0 on the doppelganger account.

That was my first thought as well, but I seriously doubt this is the same person.

I agree, I just meant it's a similar situation in that someone else is trying to impersonate you.
