I just learned of this guy and there is no undoing that thanks
This (along with that tmz video of Brandon Marshall reacting to seeing Jay Cutler's ass on instagram) is kind of making my day. One more dumbass Internet Thing and I'll be good for the weekend I think.
I hate that I'm watching all of this
thumbnail had me like fuck what are the teletubbies doing here
that orange thing in the pink stuff a dildo or what
when is But Who's Buying coming back? I miss it a lottttt and love it so much and it's the reason I'm enamored with this site. well that and the fragile illusion of community
Anyone else here a hopeless Serengeti fanboy? He's a hero of mine. Following all this releases is like a beautiful cult film mixed with a treasure hunt. Go, jump in, it's worth the effort of navigation, I promise.
A purposely hard-to-retrace Fentanyl overdose, probably from a black market of some kind, looks a lot like one thing, to me at least. It's tough to talk about this stuff for fear of spreading dangerous information, but at the same time, I don't know if playing dumb is a good call either. To be honest, I don't know which is more heartbreaking: the thought that this was accidental, or the thought that it wasn't. Also, I'm really sorry if this comment is bringing up bad stuff for anyone. Important conversations are hard to get right. Just in case: 1-800-273-8255 is the USA national suicide hotline, and 1-866-488-7386 is the Trevor Project hotline specifically for LGBT youth. I have experience with the latter, and can attest to their greatness. If you're even considering calling, do it. You'll be thankful. Also, mods feel free to delete this comment if it's out-of-line, I'm not really sure how to handle stuff like this here. Thanks/sorry/love you guys and Prince, regardless.
That's really cool. I would love to hear more of her stuff in a less polished form, it feels so much more... human? Obviously never gonna happen, but still. Can't wait for the album.
can someone explain the "bing bong lol" thing to me
"never mistake blending in for actually belonging" damn. this piece is really good.
For some perspective, this is coming from someone who owns the Rattle & Hum feature-length outtakes DVD that was included in the *last* Joshua Tree reissue, and things the footage of them in the store trying on cowboy boots is quality entertainment.
I'm the biggest U2 fan I've ever met and this is all unnecessary consumerist garbage. Also not even a great reimagining of one of my favorite songs. Those synth strings... "why god why", as the kids say these days.
Anyone else just forever flipping between A Crow Looked at Me and You're Not As _____ As You Think today? This amount of death-focus can't be good for me, but music is the last bastion that I will not compromise on. Therapist be damned! (also got into Xiu Xiu recently and fell madly in love with the Glow Pt 2. There might be something to that whole "you are what you eat" thing.....)
Thanks! To be honest, compared to the shit that necessitated the break, this is not really that scary anymore. At least, that's what I'm telling myself :) Also, I definitely remember you from the... LJG article? Maybe the Ed Droste Orlando one. Either way, you're basically my trans* Stereogum commenter partner in crime. Always worth a thumbs up or two.
(if for some reason you're wondering, I'll be getting back on hormones tomorrow. Had to take an extended break for mental health stuff. Exciting, I guess?)
I am so about this idea, I mean emotional availability is like a drug to me. Already sent her a message about how the transition is going, even though I thought Hopelessness was a bit much.
to anyone who's familiar with sxsw: have they ever acknowledged or prepared against how much of a shitshow it is? I mean I've scarcely left illinois in a decade, but even I know the reputation it's got. It just seems sad, and strange, that this keeps happening.
...7 other great Jack Johnson songs, not 7 other Curious George-related songs. There's a whole album of those. All made by ya boi Jack Johnson. We're Going To Be Friends is on it! Dude makes me want to end comments with the word 'Bless'. I'm having a pretty good day over here.
Just wondering: Is it just me or is Jack Johnson underrated around here? If I Had Eyes bangs. Upside Down is the best Curious George-related song I know. There's at least 7 others too!
I don't know if 24 counts as grown-ass (probably not), but yeah, not really. She's great. I seriously cannot wait for that Yoni Wolf + Lorde song to come out. Aah. I've been waiting so long.
More Alarming is a fantastic fuckin label name for her oh my god
tbh I like Ghost Stories best out of the post-Viva stuff. Everything else is too glossy/maximalist/pure-pop for my tastes. Granted, even my Ghost Stories appreciation comes with some disclaimers, but I'll stand by it. Everything pre-Viva needs no defense here, I think. Solid stuff.
I hope he gets things together in there. I got admitted early October and to be honest it didn't stick. Then it all happened again a few weeks later, and hopefully now I'm on the upswing. I only mention this to say that unfortunately, even a hospitalization isn't always the start of a new chapter. But, it's always better than the alternative. Get well soon man, I'm sure Cudi's rooting for you.
Listened to Viva La Vida like an hour ago, and that album is front to back fantastic. You can feel the Eno, and it's the band at their happiest medium between pop-rock and pop-pop. Strawberry Swing? Love that thing.
oh you better not be shit-talking Zooropa, that album was basically was the Radiohead template for a bit. I mean, um, something Wrens something.
I wanted so badly to like Hymns, and this no different. Kele's lyrics, Kele's new singing style.... maybe it's a grower.
ok that's more than enough let's get back to puns and gifs and making fun of blochead
Hey, thanks. This shit's an all-consuming terror, (for me at least) and to be completely honest I'm not coping with it very well at all. But, I'm trying. And now getting encouragement from anonymous internet people, which is nicer than it has any right to be.
