Marc Maron’s WTF in song form? Sold.

Come down to what, making clothes? Is fashion really a strike against artistic integrity?

It’s a peripheral interest. Some people make comedy duos. Some people make comic books. Some people make fashion lines.

Nope. If you want to see one real awkward encounter, see when Los Campesinos! was on a week or two ago.

Much better.

I pretty much click through these LDR stories for the comments nowadays.

It is. It’s easy to tell if you just watch the flag in the background — it billows one way, pauses, then reverses direction.

I don’t blame them though. Four minutes is an awkward naked hug.

That picture is dangerously close to doing a Courtney Stodden face.

That’s a lot of eyeliner.

I think the idea is that it doesn’t matter under normal circumstances, but Lana Del Rey, being a constructed pop identity, has different expectations. If she were just a singer songwriter, people wouldn’t care about her star presence or whatever, but she’s playing a different sport. Her rise is reliant on both her music and aesthetic — and i’m not necessarily talking about her looks. The old Hollywood footage, the retro film stock, this whole Nancy Sinatra emulation are all things that build a different image.

I don’t think he understands the first amendment. It doesn’t entitle you to a licensing deal with ESPN.

As disappointed as I am in that assessment, I would like to inquire about the origin of your avatar.

I really think this is their best work to date. It’s different from the style they established, but it’s one of those rare instances where a band’s change in direction totally works.

Aziz Ansari stealth cameo.

Really interesting departure, although not instantly listenable for me.

I love the song, but I feel like this fell on the wrong side of the line between “horror” and “snuff film.” It’s weird how much they try to glamorize and show the beauty of dead women.

I do believe you three have summarized every comments thread on Stereogum.

 +6Posted on Nov 11th, 2010 | re: Watch Matt Lauer's "Brutal" Kanye Interview (30 comments)

The obvious sequel to this is to have Kanye say he felt bad about Obama’s “jackass” comment, then have Obama do an interview where he has to watch Kanye feeling bad.

Because we like his songs, and his megalomaniac tendencies 1) Can also be entertaining and 2) Are not going to lead to disasterous government policies that will affect our lives in a meaningful way.

Watching this video, I agree that the Today’s show routine tactic of: “LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THIS FEEL BAD ON CAMERA” is silly, it mostly just reminded me of what a shit bag Jay Leno is for trying to scold Kanye like a child on a much smaller deal.

I would say: Great visuals, design and music. But some bad acting and nonsensical song placement.

Apparently it was a pretty big commotion but I didn’t see/hear anything

I am sure white people are suffering because Heems says racists are the white guys that laugh too long.

How will you ever get over this (5 minutes of) historical oppression.

Perhaps we could provide you ladders of opportunity for the suffering your people have had to endure for such a single line in an article.
