Give it a shot.
It has some of my favorite Coldplay songs, none of which is "Viva La Vida": "Life in Technicolor", "Violet Hill", and "Strawberry Swing" are all niiiiiice.
It's hard to keep track of all the albums Cam has announced and never released: Purple Haze 2, Killa Pink, the Federal Reserve EP with A-Trak.
I was really excited for Federal Reserve in particular—"Humphrey" and "Dipshits" were great singles—but I'm sure that's shelved now.
"i hate u, i love u" is so bad I wanna make a documentary film profiling people who like it to find out where their lives went wrong and what we as a society can do to make sure that won't happen to anyone else.
FYI: The guy with glasses and long hair getting chased by Drake's posse at 2:50 is the one who shot/paralyzed Jimmy and put him in the wheelchair.
Not that I've ever seen the show, because I haven't, so that's not what I'm saying, so if you think that's what I'm saying, you're wrong.
RE: M.I.A., that happened.
Her DJ censored the gunshots when she did "Paper Planes" live on Letterman to promote Kala. Check out the "u wot m8?" look on her face at 1:21.

Since Peter already did the responsible thing and posted the Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number and website, I just want to remind all 'Gummers: Whether you're depressed, stressed out, anxious, in a difficult financial situation, living with a disorder or addiction, having suicidal thoughts, or even if you're just in a bad place after a rough day, week, month, year, or past couple of years and you feel like talking about it to someone would help, we got yr back, too—no judgments, no attribution.
Whatever you're going through, know that help is available and you're not alone.
That one time I brought my wife with me to Tokyo:
[through the bathroom wall of our hotel room]
Mrs. Gummo: Ooo, don't the toilets here have bidets?!
Me: Yep, with adjustable temperature and pressure.
Mrs. Gummo: I've never used a bidet! Which button is it...?
...
...
...
Mrs. Gummo: AaaaaahahahaHAHAHA.
Me: Well, what'd you think?
Mrs. Gummo: WOO!
Some people take their assignments pretty seriously and stay up wicked late in order to put their festival thoughts into words, and some people are raptor jesus.
This one really hurts.
Since it looks like everyone else has already commented on what an influential culinary expert and all-around good guy he was, I'll say what I loved most about him: Dude was a fearless critic of celebrity chef culture.
On Paula Deen: "The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is fucking bad for you. Plus, her food sucks."
On Guy Fieri: "Did you ever see the Simpsons episode where it's decided that Itchy and Scratchy need a sidekick? So a committee gets together and they invent one called Poochie...Guy Fieri kind of looks like he's been designed by committee."
On Rachael Ray: "She's hugely influential, particularly with children. And she's endorsing Dunkin' Donuts. It's like endorsing crack for kids."
On Sandra Lee: "All you have to do is waddle into the kitchen, open a can of crap and spread it on some other crap that you bought at the supermarket. And then you've done something really special."
He used his platform to spotlight amazing food most people would never even hear about otherwise and shit on people like Paula Deen. Man...
R.I.P.
Honest question: What makes ye a good album? I've been following your comments recently and seeing a lot of this:
1) People don't like ye because they don't like Kanye as a person.
2) People don't like ye because they focus on Kanye's social media outbursts instead of on his music.
3) Kanye is a musical genius and the greatest artist of this generation.
4) Articles about Kanye generate record numbers of clicks and comments.
None of that addresses ye itself. What makes it a good album?
phospho speaks the truth: The vegetarian struggle is real in Japan.
Not sure how often you make it out to Tokyo, but check out Cafe the 6BT next time you do. Tons of 100% vegetarian ramen served in big portions for very fair prices!
