that review sounds pretty pretentious desu
that word is just a buzzword nowadays

pere ubu nightclub jazz sounds cool

It does. Apparently not to Rolling Stone, however.

Here‘s hoping they’ll make some black shitty merch.

Why is it when a band incorporates the slightest influence of jazz, music reviewers just write it off completely as "pretentious"?

Cuz jazz suxxx

Wrong

Bunch of rockist cunts just dont know any better

Pere Ubu is terrible

midwits hate jazz

Jazz--as a creative, vital genre--is effectively dead. Originally the pop music of the black lower class, it has long since been abandoned by its original creators/audience for genres like R&B and hip-hop, leaving it in the hands of (in ascending order of mass appeal) shrill avant-garde musicians dwelling on the fringe, cloistered academics, stodgy traditionalists pumping out stale rearrangements of decades-old songs, and anodyne producers of background music. The most you can get out of "jazz influence" is an easy target for music nerds to air their grievances/frustrations over the modern irrelevance of jazz, its abandonment by its originating culture, and its transition from a legitimate cultural force to just another dead genre.

band isn't afro-american enough

I like the pirate song a lot

CDQ when/where?
