Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

We’re still a few days away from the official release of Ultraviolence, but if you’ve already heard it, you’re probably surprised at how good it is. As Tom wrote, “Ultraviolence is a gorgeous, shattering piece of work, and it’s just as euphorically fake as Born To Die was. It’s just that LDR fakes it realer now.” But if narco-swing torch songs aren’t your thing, this week gave you plenty of other returning artists to get excited about: Spoon, the Bug, Death From Above 1979, FKA twigs, Death Grips, Jeff Tweedy, Grimes, Nicki Minaj, Weezer, Sólstafir, alt-J, the New Pornos, Blonde Redhead… Something for everyone! Also: Psy! Or you can spend your Morrissey refund on the Rush catalog. The point is, your best and worst comments are below.

Yes, this album is great, and STP are underrated…but “better than Pearl Jam”?

Well, here’s to hoping her a better outlook on life. I think we often forget that fame and fortune have little to do with happiness and life satisfaction.

Real talk: how many times does he get to do this before someone calls bullshit on him?

Beyonce did a Death Grips, really. Government Plates dropped out of nowhere as well, and had music videos for every track.

I think Rivers made that face because he’s never really heard anyone cheer during Beverly Hills before…

I wonder if anyone has suggested he have some chicken soup.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an honor!

I guess the lesson here is bastardize other people’s music all you want but stay the hell away from other people’s stereogum comments!

Don’t worry, Lana. Many of your biggest detractors feel similarly.

Interpol, Jack White, TV On The Radio not on the list yet fucking Grimes is? Whack.

Also I know it’s not popular Stereogum opinion because these bands are basically just, well, pop bands but I though The 1975, Bastille and Foster The People were thoroughly enjoyable. AlunaGeorge also played a great set on Sunday that picked things up. I did not realize The Kills were that big (they had a huge crowd) though I think that probably had more to do with their competition at the time not being that big either. Vampire Weekend closing was a dependable (though predictable) set and enjoyable. The Strokes…totally phoned in. Exact same set they played in Port Chester.

I wouldn’t worry about him too much. A grown man doesn’t end up on national television in his best Beetlejuice suit, former child star’s ass planted firmly in crotch, while still retaining the capacity to feel shame.
