As disappointing as Kanye's recent past has been for some of us who love his (first ~15 years of) art, I feel for the guy. Both he and the public treat every moment of his life like a media event, he's in like year six of an on-again-off-again manic episode. I wish so much that he could step away from everything for however long and build a relationship with himself that's different from "Kanye, the world famous genius," but he truly seems trapped by his ego, and I bet part of him knows that. Everyone can easily mock and laugh at him but this is so fucking sad.
I've got a little Meat Loaf story. In the 80s and early 90s he lived in Connecticut, and would coach his kids' little league teams. For a little league championship game in a nearby town that my older brother was playing in, Meat Loaf came to the game to sing the National Anthem, even though his kids weren't playing. So a kid was up there to announce him and hand him the microphone, but he didn't know his real name, so he just said, "Ladies and gentleman, to sing the National Anthem is... Mr. Loaf!" Anyway rip to someone who was a good sport.
This beach house rollout has been so great to have each month, I'm so excited for the final chapter. it doesn't matter but I can just feel the other site's gonna give the album like a 7.6
