Japanther again
The Japanther article is on AfD again. I'm hoping you're still around and interested in weighing in over here. Thanks. --Howrealisreal 13:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your vote, and also dropping me that little note. I agree with you (and corrected my comment on the AfD page): Japather's cult following spans beyond NYC, further solidifying the argument that they are notable and belong in Wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 18:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your support BTW. See you around. --Howrealisreal 13:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Comments concerning pop punk

 * SoCal!, whats wrong with that? Yeah as a chicago dude in the scene since like 93/94, you know i missed seeing Slugdeworth live and actually my friend Emily invited me to go to one of the last Screeching Weasel shows (around that time when they had another break-up) but i missed it. I think my first show was like the Mushuganas, Walker, and Alligator Gun or something at the Elmhurst VFW, but seeing the Methadones live is like being able to go back to the fabled McGregors. I'm totally digging Teenage Bottlerocket too its cool yeah Im also a fan of The Unlovables. Mexican Cheerleader is ex Oblivion (band), it's kinda an aquired taste but I freakin love them. Its just this inane rock thats just too strange like if wierd al was more bulky and thick, you know, more muscular, Pete, the singer is so funny. Link As for the hip hop, im definitely have very little expertise in that area, but I think its really important to contrast "punk" with "hip hop." I can get into that later, but part of it is that those two forms are really the most powerful active forces in western music culture today. which one has more weight is debatable but they provide from some great comparisons and contrasts. We can learn alot. Other than the pop rap stuff everyone knows i do pay attention to local stuff. i do tend to be biased toward underground alternative hop hop. Faction of the Fox is awesome punk-hip hop fusion, also makes me laugh, but i can rock to it too. Kevin Coval is a really good poet, he destroys mel gibson here, , MC Juice is a local i think, he beat Eminem in a 1997 freestyle competition . Im also partial to the hip hop label Gravel Records cause i got some friends over there . Also Typical Cats are just straight up the shit , actually they are now based out of Escondido, Cali. Flip that on and just sit back and enjoy the ride, I grew up with one of those guys. Also from Iowa there's a group called Bad Fathers which rips some as well, less political, more party, . Yeah white bread corn-eater with mohawks spitting rhymes! Speaking of Iowa (i lived there from '97-'03 going to college), i got to recommend William Elliott Whitmore, which is straight up tom waits/johnny cash, but this guy is for real. He lived the life. He grew up on a farm he worked the farm. He is conjoined with the iowa soil. he also records great music. albums on southern records, and possibly anti- soon??? And finally, I have to drop Winepress to a fellow friend in pop punk. They were the band. We're talking 2 7"s, a split, a comp, a break-up, and years later a discography CD, the song "Disappointed" sums it all up but the other songs are great too. Its like Weezer sorta lookin kids, who were average age of like 15, playing this awesome punk nerd power pop snot-rock. Listen to "revenge of the nerds." Link to Winepress here . Keep in mind this is chicago suburbs '91-'95. !!!! Xsxex 20:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The Unloveables rule too. I agree. :) I'll for sure check Mexican Cheerleader out! I like hip hop a lot! Only about 1% of what I listen to is considered mainstream though. The rest is whatever underground MP3s strike my fancy. I'll check all of those hip hop links later as well (myspace is blocked here at work, so I spend my day working and wikipedia-ing). That way I can log in an check out all the pics and whatever too. Thank you sir!Messwemade 22:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Totally, yeah i sent alot so you'll be busy. Yeah i got to check out those interviews, that would be awesome, if you want I could post them/or future interview on my website, or do some sort of collaboration of some kind. Teenage Bottlerockets! yeah!. So many bands its awesome. im diggin'. Razorcake is LA/CA, cool. Man, i haven;t really spent much time in that area, whats it like. i dont remember much, bad traffic and just regular tourist traps like Disneyland and mgm or whatevr, you know when i was like 11 with my family. not like it was that bad or anything. Xsxex 22:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * cool thanks for the info about the Razorcakes.. yeah I'll be checkin on them. In recnet news about pop punk I've found some really interesting things. Theres a New York Times article from 1977 which calls Tom Petty "pop punk rock".. and there's a review in MRR#20 dec. 1984 which calls a chicago are band "Bloodsport" pop-punk in the vein of TSOL and Social Distortion. I'm gonna be putting these and other references in a central location somewhere. Just for reference and further discussion. Also .. I'm trying to rally some support for this article Theta Beta Potata, I've got it in a Deletion Review right now, so maybe you can take a look at it. Deletion review/Log/2006 August 23. Thanks. Xsxex 16:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * no im serious... i'll send you a scan of the article.. its just a blurb, really. but its there. March 9th 1977 in the New York Times. Yeah I started with the Times and I'm gonna make my way through a bunch of newspapers and periodicals. The title of the article was "Cabaret: Tom Petty's Pop Punk Rock Evokes Sounds of 60's".. yeah I was pretty surprised myself. Oh ! thanks for the support on the TBP article. we'll see what happens.

Re:Fly (artist)
This is to let you know I've read your message. I'm afraid I have to delay the response, for I haven't got time to properly review/look into the case (bit busy & have a little backlog on talk). My apologies. In the mean time, I could userfy the deleted article so you may improve it on your user space and we'll check it later, (if you're interested?). Best regards, - PeaceNT (talk) 19:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * oops, it has taken me too long to review the issue with this article. :( Please accept my apologies again. I moved Fly (artist) to my userspace sandbox long ago when I planned to improve it bit by bit, but then I totally forgot that I still owed you a reply. Sorry. I've fixed the page, added some more references and did some rewriting since the article wasn't very well in line with WP:NPOV. I also removed some materials for which I couldn't find any sources (and I've been searching for quite some time) The article seems to sufficiently address the issues raised at AfD now so I've just moved it back to the mainspace. Please take a look and see if you think there is anything needs fixing. Sorry I know it must be ludicrous to you that I needed 4 months to fix such a little page. Regards, --PeaceNT (talk) 15:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * that's really sweet of you. Thanks. :) I hope you have a wonderful June! --PeaceNT (talk) 13:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
