I think Henry Rollins needs to get his head out of his ass and widen his perspective.
I can relate to his opinion on modern rock bands (although I think he needed to call them pop-rock bands, since there are many 'modern' bands that are absolutely brilliant), but the stuff he says about rave music and the likes just shows that he focuses so much on how the music is made that he's completely blind for the fun that can be had with that sort of music.
When I'm at home I prefer to listen to some rock (almost any genre), lots of funk, sometimes jazz when I wanna relax.
But when I'm out with my mates, I don't want to listen for the techniques the musicians use or to learn something from listening to the music. I just want to have some fun with some music that is just right for 'dancing'.
Also, he forgets that electronic music can have some very intricate structures and many layers, each adding their own accent. The best electronic music is made from scratch with all kinds of instruments and doesn't use any samples at all.

I used to completely share my opinion with this guy, but I've become more open-minded. Having an open mindset can really improve how much you enjoy life.

Russel howard is horrible. Not that big of a fan of Ricky Gervais standup though the Ricky Gervais show is great mainly because of Karl Pilkington.

I agree and disagree but I cant explain what the fuck I mean. Apart from his take on music you've gotta agree that his head isn't that far up his ass :p

Basically it only exists if you don't believe in it. Whereas if you do believe in it, it ceases to exist.

Yeah Demetri Martin is funny
