Damn I’ve lost all respect for Demi Lovato’s songwriting

Ben Carson — that’s my name
guess what? the pyramids were built to store grain
the holocaust? shit was totally whack
if Jews had guns they coulda prevented that
slavery was bad but I’ll tell you what’s worse
Obamacare straight up stealing out your purse
10% flat tax that’s no lie
separated twins/ Benny C ’til I die
VOTE CARSON

Now imagine that being rapped over a halting staccato flute sample interspersed with some choice Ben Carson soundbites and you’ve got yourself a straight up BANGER.

lucky bastard. all i get is hate mail from morrissey fans.

You know what? You’re right, there *is* a dearth of respected female music producers out there. But it’s not SOPHIE’s fault. It’s a damn pseudonym, like Sorority Noise (a band with all male members) naming themselves after an all-women organization. A quick google search reveals that SOPHIE’s real name is Samuel Long. He’s referred to as “him” in every article about him. In fact, he embraces femininity and gender fluidity more than the vast majority of producers today. The idea of feminine “appropriation” isn’t really fair.

Hello people,
I understand that by slagging off “pop music”, I’m running the risk of coming off like I’m tacitly endorsing strictly my own music as fit for for consumption.

Which I am.

If you objectively deconstruct my music: compositionally, harmonically, lyrically, etc., you will have no choice but to acknowledge that in terms of commodity-dollar spent as cross-referenced against hard musical data (BPM, syncopation, melodic variety, beauty, sophistication, dignity) you will find it is (in no abstract way) a better value than anything else on the market.

The kind of pseudo-intellectual, pluralistic, speculative hair-splitting that happens on forums like this ignores the fact that music, and culture in general, is only meaningfully understood in terms of broad strokes. Accounting for the liquid nature of taste quickly leads into a quagmire of particularities, and arguments like the ones above fragment the cultural left and leave it vulnerable to the intrusion of mainstream invaders.

Just to clarify, when I’m discussing dualities I mean “Father John Misty” and “everything else”. I wouldn’t put myself in harm’s way day in and day out if I didn’t believe that the world would be a better place if people listened to nothing but me, and that by buying my music (which, btw, can be worn as an identifying badge) one’s spiritual life is enhanced in ways that make them immune to the torrid, crass diversions of this fallen world.

Grimes thinks U2’s giant crab is “fucked up”.

Would have been more accurate.

7.2/10, quality trolling but nowhere close to his peak. The bit about in-ear monitors and E-cigarettes was quality.

dude’s looking back in anger

Where’s the Beef Wellington? You know, cuz they’re both British?
Alright guys, see you later.

In one of those photos he’s wearing a $4000 dollar suit, which

“I’m so excited for the new Young Slime Mixtape.” -Nobody.

Noel Gallagher and Oasis are a modern disease in music.

Damon keeps its real, sorry you can’t handle it and this only makes you look even more insecure. Although she doesn’t really have this media narrative around her, I have no doubts that Adele is a massive diva behind closed doors.

Grimes makes some good music but she sure is a dummy.

1) RE: Less women producers… Could it be that women simply don’t seek out producer roles? Or that the ones who do don’t excel enough to stand out? Music production a highly technical field, the kind of thing that attracts MEN. Grimes and these other young self-proclaimed “feminists” today operate like there’s some giant conspiracy against women, minorities, trannies, etc., to keep them out of white male-dominated fields, but could it simply be that the candidates who apply aren’t qualified enough in their skillsets or merely don’t apply in mass numbers?

2) Thinking a rock light show has a significantly detrimental effect on the environment is laughable. The annual rate of U.S. carbon emissions measured in metric tons for ALL fireworks shows is about 60,000. The entire world emits about 37 billion annually (in the last decade or so.)
