machorock vs discowimp, (Alfke babbles)

[Swingset Disaster <hofmann@AMSAA.ARPA>]

Let me start this with pointing out that I forgot about alot of really
good English bands ... including:

Rudimentary Peni
Sacrilage (London)
and Part 1

The rest?   Well, I ain't gonna say anything since it's obvious others have
made up your mind for you ... Hi NRG?  *GGGGAAAAGGGG*

Who the hell are you to speak for females.  Shit, who are you to speak for
males or me?  I don't consider agressiveness a particular compliment, it's
just the w a y   t h i n g s  a r e.

Define post-modern ... you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

That's right - bandy some obscure names around, think you're real cute don't
ya?  There was a lot of validity in what he said ... not all but some.

At least it's rock and not disco ... ya know?
