Same. That song was good, and they were definitely were everywhere in LA for a spell. I remember that they had a lot of buzz around the Echo Curio. My room mate at the time be-friended him and they came to my house for a cook out. I never really got anything other than "what's it in for" I remember being really confused when they released "at best cuckold". I remember thinking I had no idea what cuckold was as an 18 year old. I knew this was coming for quite some time now but it still is real gross and sad.
Yeah yeah people are eating up this album like its ice cereal, but is FIona Apple really a big band? I demand to see this albums spotify numbers!
Does Meat Loaf know it's so hot out here dudes gotta be putting ice cubes in their cereal?
Wow! Thanks so much for writing this. I only knew Andrew W.K. as a generally well respected "party" rocker who seemed like kind of a schtick and I never really listened. But this is EVERYTHING that I love, I'm super excited to get into him now. Thanks for making a super frustrating week relieved for an hour and for the obvious amount of work that went into this! Stereogum keeps upping the game.
WHEW...thank God he cleared that up, now listening to his music won't feel the least bit problematic...
"This Beef is OVER" commented every single person who heard "The Story of Adidon"
Someone please get Kanye and Grimes into a room together ASAP.
I saw this article earlier while I was at work and expected to come home and see a bunch of trashing on SALEM, pleasantly surprised because I love SALEM too. I always looked at it as something on my record shelf my kids would find and be like "oh sht, Dad has SALEM, let's go fill his vodka with water and listen to this in the basement"
you made it to the end?!?

While this is all great I feel like I've heard High Horse before, Rilo Kiley?
The way she describes her songs its really remarkable her and her label are having issues...
I think four great Kanye produced albums will provide that
If this, as all evidence strongly points to, is actually an elaborate piece of performance art by Kanye West than it is one of the best art pieces of all time and certifies Kanye as an artistic genius. If you look at it as alone a piece of art about our conception of Kanye and the media and public’s reaction to him and narrative about him it’s a triumph. If you add in that it speaks to the current media landscape, discourse around race, and politics of America it is a piece that goes deeper and deeper the more you think about it and demands you question your own knee jerk reactions to it. If this is a performance piece can you think of a piece of art that you discussed or heard discussed more in the last ten years. If this is an elaborate ruse he tricked the president of the United States and got him to participate. I got in a huge argument with the number one Kanye hater in my life this morning about this and after looking at the evidence he called me back and admitted that he would apologize and call Kanye a genius if it’s all real. This is next level shit yall. I’m embarrassed I doubted him. I feel soon you may be too.

When I was in fourth grade we had a substitute teacher for a large part of the year. She left the class during Art when the Art teacher would cart her supplies in and teach a period of art, maybe two times a week. On st. Patrick’s day this kid Chris was wearing an orange sweatshirt. He had three or four shirts he rotated but when it was cold he almost always wore this orange sweatshirt. The art teacher lost her mind and started screaming at him insisting that he and his parents were messed up offensive people. This kid and his best friend were in tears as were several girls in the class. I remember being super scared because art was my favorite class so this was my favorite teacher and evidently she was insane. In the middle of her tirade our sub came back and dismissed her from the class, obviously upset. It was years before I understood what it was about. Years later I was in Portland OR at my friends bar celebrating st. Patrick’s day, which is decidedly less festive than my native Boston, when I wrote the drinking song “WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING PUT ON YOUR CABBY HATS, GREEN IS THE COLOR ITS NOT THE ORANGE COLOR, GREEN GREEN GREEN AND THE BEER AND CABBY HATS, DROP KICK MURPHY AND RAINBOWS AND GREEN BUT NEVER ORANGE ETC ETC...”. It was a big hit. We never had art with that teacher again and my 3 point perspective is still garbage.
Bitches Ain't Shit/ But Human Beings/ Whom I Should Tespect
Nothing against his music but when I first saw Will Toledo I thought to myself, there's a dude with a trust fund. Guess that one panned out.
Quick alert Kanye that someone other than himself thinks he is a "lyrical genius". Should make his xmas!
