My thoughts, exactly.

Well said. I logged in for the first time in years only to respond to this douche, but you’ve beat me to it. And quite eloquently, I might add. BOTH tragedies are sad, indeed.

I agree. Maybe this list would be less lame if druggies wrote it.

You know what? I agree. I’m not a Kanye fan… however, at the 13th minute mark I bought in, because both the visuals and music were especially tight right there. Yes, I’m partial to thinking that improvised ballet dancing is hot, having suffered growing up in the LA Ballet Co., however, even the sound landscape was on it– especially the minimalist beat then later coupled with ayers of fat synth sounds during that surreal moment of beauty and beats. I feel so strange to be giving Kanye props. Holy shit.

I was at this show. I was at their show here a year ago as well. Such funky geek jams! They are really tight live. Never miss a beat. They once again proved to me that they are one of THE best bands to see live — along with Deerhoof.

Beautiful images. Gives me the itch to hit the road and visit with old-school high school homies who are ‘farmers’ in Humboldt.

That’s what she said.

That was fucked up. Those were real tears. That baby was truly terrified. I kept wondering what long-term psychological damage the baby was going to have after undergoing this making of this stupid fucking video. I was uncomfortable the whole time watching this baby feel terrified and cry. Mind you, I am an MGMT fan, but it doesn’t excuse them to be so fucking “hip” that a baby undergoes psychological trauma for their pseudo “avantgarde” video.

Agreed.

Stupid betch did the same thing to Talk Talk. And the ‘kids’ don’t know any better. I partially grew up in the ’80s, so this really annoys the shit outta me.

I had this very song’s poster in my room in Jr. High. It was hot. All of them dressed as [dandy] pirates. Adam Ant fucked it all up by going solo.

OMG! I was totally reminded of When In Rome also. Haha.

Dude, the babe in YYY’s is hot. What are ya gonna do?

This made me laugh:

“If radios were still a thing that existed, they totally wouldn’t need to make radio edits.”

Dude, being that LA is car culture (thanks Big Oil and Big Tires), radio was really important. Especially when stuck in traffic and/or commuting to work. People often complained that radio in LA sucked… but after living in NYC, (some) radio in LA was actually pretty decent compared to how shitty radio is back East. Now, unless I’m listening to the news (KPFK & NPR) or This American Life, most radio in LA is shitty Top 40 crap. Even killer NPR programs, as just mentioned can simply be downloaded as a podcast to listen to at my convenience. Radio, indeed, is dead. Corporations suck sweaty smelly hairy balls.

My two cents.
