Yeah! Fuck all the people who work there who find this equally reprehensible but also feel a sense of ownership of the thing they helped create and have rent to pay!
Someone named an album after one of my favorite things to yell when someone cuts me off?
On the off-chance that JT reads the comments: Hi! My name is Jason. You booked my very first show with my teenage punk band Chaos Effect on a bill with your old band Late Start back in WV around 1997. It's been wild to watch your career!
Don't worry about spoilers. This has been a nearly-confirmed rumor for a while. It's an incredibly perfect casting. Once I heard the idea, I couldn't imagine anyone else as Eros.
I really never expected to see an article about Ink & Dagger on the 'Gum. The guy who introduced me to punk and emo was a HUGE fan of theirs back then. They never clicked with me, but they've always held a special place in my heart because of that.
Or is it a jumper? The header image.
I felt the same way about Bad Religion for a long time. They have so much material, but they only ever play the same stuff, largely. Then one time, the singer asked the audience, "Show of hands: Who here is seeing us for the first time?" and about 60% of the audience raised their hands. As a die-hard, I'd love to hear some deeper cuts, but it makes sense that people like me are not where the money comes from for bands at that point.
"MDMA concentrations had quadrupled in the water the week following the festival" How much MDMA is usually in the water?
Oh yeah? Well, if that baby dick is so unimportant they won't go to its art show, why is it still on the cover? Hmmmm?!
I am not into these bands (though I do respect their craft immensely), but damn do I wish I were after reading that statement. Very few people show the kind of understanding and support of mental illness (and just their friends in general) as they are, and that means a lot to see.
I would LOVE a MUNA/Pale Waves collab. But first, I want a split EP where Sir Babygirl covers "Pink Light" and MUNA covers "Pink Lite".
I have a MUNA tattoo ("Be where you are" written above a sinkful of dishes, if anyone is curious). I need this LP right now so much. I can't wait to sing this song with a whole bunch of other drunks queers on Friday!
I will eat my hat if, after opening slots for Phoebe, Bleachers and Kacey Musgraves, they aren't one of the biggest bands on the planet.
There is no amount of praise you could give "I Know A Place" that would be hyperbolic. It's one of the best songs that have ever been written. The fact that MUNA didn't collapse under its weight is a statement to how great they are.
Yes. I'm not a fan of Drake, but his album covers are usually fucking awesome.
Between this, Father of the Bride and the new Pet Symmetry, why is "I designed this album cover in Microsoft Publisher" an aesthetic in this decade?
No, but I'm in Chicago. Since Phoebe Bridgers is playing P4K, MUNA (with the day off tour) is playing their own show in Evanston, and I'll be at that. I also think it doesn't start until after P4K ends for the day.
I should also add that nobody is a "good" or "bad" person. We are the things we do and how we affect people. Kanye seems intent on hurting people. The reasons behind that don't make a difference to the people he's hurting.
Speaking as a "broken person", we're still responsible for our behavior. Kanye is, and has been the past few years, intentionally going out of his way to insult and harm vulnerable communities. Nobody owes him a tenth benefit of the doubt. Plenty of people are broken without being this awful. When people show you who they are, believe them.
Sounds like a Tegan and Sara record. That's pretty much it.
Calling the best song on their last album "a turgid...duet"?! I always feel insane when people talk about CHVRCHES, as I think Love Is Dead was fucking AWESOME.
Probably you, because there are medical treatments for anything you could catch having unprotected sex and we're not so goddamned up our own asses that we'd actually take the medicine.
"Say it to my face pussy." aka "I'm literally too stupid to have an adult conversation, and I think that makes me better than other people."
It's funny watching neanderthals like you have to operate in an arena where you can't just physically intimidate anyone who dares challenge you. Being able to punch someone doesn't make you not an idiot.
Nothing is allowed to happen in music anymore without Phoebe Bridgers' input!
Here's some education for you, bud: No matter how many times you try to phrase it differently, you can't apologize without admitting you were wrong.
My favorite song of theirs, and one of my favorite songs period, will always be "Just Watch The Fireworks".
I have no idea why "Splash, Turn, Twist" was left off the album, but I was so happy to have a full studio version get released.
I remember when Buddyhead posted about them leaking demos to most of the album (and eventual b-side "Splash, Turn, Twist") in order to drum up a major label bidding war. A friend downloaded them and, as enormous Clarity fans, we all listened eagerly. By the time "The Middle" came on, I said, "These guys are gonna be HUGE." All my friends laughed. I always chuckle remembering that "Get It Faster" was labelled "Evil No. 1" in those demos. Also, small nitpick, but while the lyric Jim sings on "A Praise Chorus" is "why did we ever meet?", the Promise Ring song's title is "Why Did Ever We Meet."
He's not sorry he used the word. He's sorry he got caught. There is no awareness of why what he did was hurtful and oppressive in those words, just a vague acknowledgement that people are mad at him and he'd like them not to be.
I mean, he could even say things like "dickhead" or "asshole" if that ironic repurposing of insults (or fear of vulnerability) is how you and your friends "play", right? Nobody reaches adulthood in this country without being aware of the discourse around that word. He's just sorry he got caught.
Something something "Guilty of Being White"....
Dude from Crazytown with Black Flag. Actually, that seems possible at this point...
As a person with a Bad Religion tattoo, I gotta say that wouldn't be a bad fit.
This dude got into Minor Threat at a time in his life where they'd be considered foundational and then went on to write "Sexy Bitch". And THEN legitimately thought Minor Threat would jump at the chance to reunite with him fronting them.
Unless you count "Rock and Roll, Part 2" at every sporting event.
Vision never clicked with me, but Pets Hounds is one of the best records to come out of the emo revival. Psyched to check this out after the new Spanish Love Songs single!
This makes me feel a little less silly enjoying Coheed and Cambria.
