I love that this piece exists, but I gotta point out that there’s a typo in the headline. I believe the lyric is “yyyyyit’s been.”

We need to consider the possibility of a record so unreleased that we don’t understand it yet.

Ironically, no one who bought this pedal has ever “melted” much less seen female genitalia IRL.

If you’re wondering why Tom didn’t write Album Of The Week this week, he’s on vacation.

And if you’re wondering why Michael didn’t write a Premature Evaluation on this… he’s heard it.

Dude is a total charlatan who has somehow convinced Justin and Kanye he’s a genius.

Bombed iver

That said, for those of you who (like me) cannot get enough Michael Nelson essays-as-opuses, he’s working on one about the state of heavy music that will hopefully be out this week.

👶 Adding Bold Text, Italics, and Embedded Links 👶

HTML tags are surrounded by angle brackets (the “less-than” and “greater-than” signs)—not regular brackets, which I’m using here so you’re able to see them.

1. Use [b]text goes here[/b] for bold text.
2. Use [i]text goes here[/i] for italics.
3. Use [a href=”link goes here”]text goes here[/a] to embed a link.

The only “holy shit” surprise I can think of that would make me utter those words is a performance from Morrissey. There’s the shock factor of Justin Vernon knowing him and implicitly condoning his actions, and then there’s the shock that Moz actually showed up and played for as long as he was supposed to.

With all that being said, I’d sure like to eat her Japanese breakfast…
