There's this really shitty mallcore screamo band called Black Veil Brides. Big with a certain set of kids, no idea why. Anyway, the vocalist sounds uncannily similar to Chad Kroeger, to the point where I like to imagine he's Kroeger's soul patch alter ego. And this got me thinking. And by the time I stopped thinking, it seemed very funny to imagine every musician has a secret soul patch career no one knows about. Cool cover, Mr. Glover. Where are you hiding the soul patch?
Sorry, I can't help myself, but I'll keep it relatively brief. Joe Rogan is utilized as a useful idiot by the far-right. He's a brainless numbskull that'll nod along to anything you say with little to know question. He is willing to platform (and therefore legitimize and implicitly endorse) scum fucks like Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Tim Pool, Johnathan Haidt, Eric Weinstein, and Alex Jones. We're talking about a talentless shock jock railing against "identity politics" and "PC culture" because he's offended by the idea that some people are offended and outraged over things his privilege allows him to remain unphased by. I'm aware his content isn't entirely political, but people are still listening to his Brietbart-lite political episodes in which a far-right talking head spews bigoted, conspiratorial bullshit. That he has one of the most popular podcasts in the country is a fucking disgrace.
Guess I'm getting into Tool now. Who does that leave left in the streaming war? Just Garth and Seger?
I'm not trying to say she's a human piece of shit like Lena Dunham, just that this interview sounds like a shitty Portlandia sketch.
Thanks, glad to know I'm not losing my mind and this only took a week or two, not months.
Remember when Girls was critically lauded as a cutting satire before everyone found out Lena Dunham is the human equivalent of a dirty designer heroin needle? When Carrie Brownstein contributed to Portlandia, was that ever intended to be funny (because it almost never was) or were they just candidly filming her on an average day in her life?
How much promo was done for this album? I didn't hear about it until after it came out and I'm starting to feel lucky for it.
This is your regularly scheduled reminder that "Get a Grip" is the greatest male masturbation song ever written. I'm still debating the female one between "Party For One" and "I Touch Myself".
What did we ever do to deserve Björk?
Wait, you guys actually listened to it?
You know that advice about wearing flags around gang members? Yeah, that.
I couldn't really get into The Age of Immunology but I'll be damned if she doesn't have a beautiful voice.
Didn't the frontman quit music to become an independent critic or something like that? I'd love to see him meet the frontman of The Vapors. He became a lawyer specializing in defending musicians from their labels. Bet they'd have lots to talk about.
I don't get Vampire Weekend to begin with, but its been fascinating seeing the discourse surrounding Father of the Bride. Really curious to see where everyone stands on it now that they've had time to digest it away from the news cycle.
Sometimes dickheads make good points. I have no idea if he is one, there is no fucking way I'm reading any of that shit, but they do. Just consider any time someone manages to make both the top and bottom five the same week. You're the good Blochead, but we remember the evil Blochead for a reason.
The essential 1975 experience is admitting you like them but can't enjoy one of their albums without pruning it down to a reasonable length by cutting the bullshit. The fun part is realizing everyone has a different definition of what the bullshit is. Yes Bloc, you are very clever for replying that it's all bullshit and/or trash. So, raptor, have you considered starting a cult? Your obsession with track placements and numbers borders on fetishistic, which makes it a perfect mid-20's white dude substitute for astrology.
I wish we were still with pre-Conde Nast Pitchfork. You just know they'd either praise it to hell and back through gritted teeth or start deleting old reviews and begin their negative evaluation with a sentence about how enlightened reviewer man and enlightened reviewer audience were smart enough to have never liked him in the first place. Then Ryan fires another college intern or something. Good times.
Anyone have thoughts on the XXL Freshmen cyphers? Thought the one with Cordae was a solid all-rounder, though Rico Nasty characteristically took it up a notch from the other two. That other one, though? Whew. Who the fuck let Thing #1 and Thing #2 in the same room as DaBaby and Megan?
Some blurb on Liam's first album detailed how the record was a one-off, just some tunes that didn't need following up on because Liam was admittedly low on ideas. I can see why.
There's this really racist internet theory suggesting the Angry Birds are ethnonationalist Europeans represented by the black, red, and yellow birds being the colors of the German flag. The theory then goes on to suggest the mighty eagle is a metaphor for fat, lazy Americans and that the pig leader is named Mudbeard who has a beard and owns TNT because that apparently indicates the pigs are an allegory for Muslim invaders. I have to know how the Angry Birds movie music tie-in and sequel will factor into this theory that totally isn't nonsensical bullshit internet racists use to seem based while taking their little brother to the movies. Apologies in advance to Kesha.
Who's the dumbfuck that killed something as batshit stupid hilarious as "Lil John Wayne" in favor of the flashpan yodeling WalMart kid?
I have to wonder whether Milo Goes to College or Pinkerton holds the record for the highest concentration of lyrics practically designed for someone to feel embarrassed about relating to as they get older.
The point is that pardoning one person because a celebrity asked isn't going to suddenly bring about any form of real systemic change, as Kanye suggests. It's reductionist to assume I think Johnson should've stayed in prison for the rest of her life because her pardon came through the demand of Kim Kardashian. I'm happy she's able to live the rest of her life as a free woman, but it's nonsensical for Kanye to assume this will somehow bring about prison reform or inspire congress to look into the racial prejudices of the American justice system.
Because Sandro is a concern trolling asshole and I can't stand being condescended to about respect and love by the same guy who makes fun of me and tells me to shut up if I say something he doesn't completely agree with. Did I take it too far? Yeah, no shit, I do that every time I get pissed. Why was I such an ass? Interactions like the one below piss me off to the point where I'd rather tell someone I believe they're capable of beating their own children than put up with being belittled by some holier-than-thou jackass. At least then they get angry instead of giving off a sense of smug superiority. I have a mental illness and thin skin. That's not an excuse, I'm aware I said a series of really shitty things that don't help anything. Every once in a while I just get really tired of being told to go fuck myself and internalizing that for months, so I just lash out at people online even though I know it doesn't do anything but make it worse by giving people a reason to be mean to me and tell me to shut up. http://i64.tinypic.com/2mnipub.jpg
I'm Autistic. Rather than figure out how to raise me, my parents let the internet do that.
You're right, I should become an antinatalist.
The line about Alice Johnson inspiring men on "Cudi Montage" rubs me way worse than most Kanye lyrics. No Kanye, Trump pardoning Alice Johnson isn't going to suddenly inspire a wave of empathy for the black victims of the harsh, unfair, and prejudiced American justice system within the House and Senate. The only reason he pardoned her at all is because your influential celebutante wife asked.
It's actually "one less white [uh, y'know]," just fyi. I always replace the word with something like "finger" if I'm singing along.
Do you get some kind of medal for terrible parenting if you buy one of these unironically?
Right around the time you start making 10+ minute long YouTube videos defending the ones that are pedos.
Two things. First, Purple Mountains is so fucking good, holy shit. This is going straight to AOTD contenders and will likely be my AOTY. Second, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. https://twitter.com/DJWyndows98/status/1146868216322392064?s=19
Oh come the fuck on, I was gunning for that sweep with double downs and everything. This is bullshit, I want a recount. Fuck you, lizard people who still defend Morrissey in 2019.
I saw some tweets earlier this week from hardcore fans/stans of Eilish who downloaded a leak of the remix. It was very refreshing to see that even her biggest fans think this is phoned in trash.
