I think Evermore’s lawsuit is legit. I keep seeing Swift’s album on Spotify and pressing play thinking it will take me to an immersive experience theme park, but instead some music just starts playing. This is very confusing and traumatic for me. It has happened too many times to count. Please help me justice system!
Everything you said lines up with my own personal experience regarding cops I've known. You are right that there are good cops out there. I worked in television media for quite a while and got to know some. Unfortunately, they are the exceptions. In fact, I think it's telling that many of those good cops that I know are now in some other line of work. The good ones don't seem to last long and the bad ones get promoted/moved around a lot.
I was cursed by a witch a few years ago. The curse would not allow me to sleep as long as Da Baby and JoJo Sita had beef. Finally, I can have the slumber that I have been so denied! I will sleep the sleep of the dead!
My first kid turns 10 this week, so she's pretty much exactly as old as this album. It's funny seeing all of these 10 year anniversaries this year since it all reminds me of what we were listening to when she was a little baby. Now she's starting her own record collection and has her own Spotify playlists, etc. (A single tear runs down log's cheek.)
This reminds me of the awkward moment when my dad said, "If you've been divorced three times, it's probably you." in front of my aunt (his sister) forgetting that she had, in fact, been divorced three times.
I was alternating this one and Wild Pink all day until about an hour ago when my Another Michael record came in the mail. Now I’m on to that one. Going to be going back to the other two a lot, though.
For some weird reason, the singles for this album just weren’t doing anything for me. I listened to the album earlier and it clicked. It’s just gorgeous.
Harumph! Her PR person probably called someone to get her on here! There must be some sinister forces at work here! There's no way she got invited to do this by Phillip Glass like the article clearly states! She has PR! Dammit! The skeleton onesie is a gimmick! She wasn't wearing it??!!!?! What, is she too good for her gimmick now??!! I bet her PR person told her not to wear it! Other people have made more and better music! Why aren't they on here!!!???!?!
If getting out of abusive relationships was easy, we wouldn't see so many abusive relationships. There is a lot of psychological abuse involved here, too.
Also, in regards to your first question, the guy was one of the biggest rock stars on the planet. There's an attractiveness built into that, regardless of what the person looks like physically. Rock has a long history of stunningly beautiful women dating/marrying "interesting"-looking rock stars.
I know you're not saying this, necessarily, but it's funny that Bridgers is being framed by a lot of people as this "careerist", only in it for the fame/money since she maybe has PR people. The musicians of Crosby's generation are always framed as artists-first, only in it for the music. Most of those bands/singers/songwriters were careerist as fuck. They all ended up with mansions and boats and expensive drug habits. AND they all had PR people pushing their careers! Shocking. Fact is, if you've heard a band by any means other than a person who's in that band handing you a CD they burned, there has probably been some sort of PR involved.
Real Rock Stars don't destroy their instruments, they destroy their bodies and their relationships with their family and friends through heavy drug use! Right, Croz?
Instead of contacting Danelectro, Bridgers should have reached out to Jeff Jarrett. He could've showed her how to properly gimmick a guitar to break cleanly. She should NOT, however, get advice from the Honky Tonk Man on this subject! He smashed a regular guitar over Jake the Snake Roberts' head injuring Jake's neck in the process.
Fuck disrespectful. Crosby is a known asshole. Fuck him. He used to walk around in a cape and call himself the King of the Hippies. Is that not gimmicky?
(That said, If I Could Only Remember My Name is a great album. But, really, it has more to do with the other musicians on it than Crosby.)
It's hard to nail down a favorite Oldham album, but Superwolf is near the top for me. That album came out right when I moved to Louisville. I think I bought it the first time I shopped at Ear-x-tacy.
The only acceptably authentic performance would have been an acoustic one. She must play on a guitar she hand made from a naturally-fallen tree. She is allowed a single stool to sit on. The stage must be lit only by natural light. No electric lighting, for God’s sake. Her voice must be amplified without the use of electricity, too. Perhaps a ram’s horn? Only when these criteria are met will her performance be deemed authentic.
I'm convinced that The War on Drugs have an album just sitting there, ready to go. No joke, I come to Stereogum every day hoping to see that news. I'm like Ben Affleck pulling up to Matt Damon's house every morning hoping that he doesn't come out. When they finally announce that album, I'll stand there, smiling in my track suit and Casey Affleck will excitedly jump into the front seat of the car.
I wish Super Bowl commercials would just stop being a thing. Please. Let's not do this anymore. I can't remember a single one from like the last 10 years. I get that, in the 80's, the game usually sucked. There were a ton of blowouts. People looked to the commercials for entertainment. We don't need that anymore. Now, we can watch the most exciting athlete on the planet versus the best to ever play quarterback. The game will be good. We don't need these commercials. Please stop.
Also, how many fucking "we're all in this together, guys!" bullshit commercials are there going to be this year? I'm guessing a lot. And a majority of them from companies that probably treat their workers like shit.
Pearl Jam was the first band I really got into. Like, I would buy anything with their name on it. I agree that they never evolved. To me, Binaural is their last complete good album. Since then, I've liked songs here and there, but I can't sit through a whole album. You can make a pretty awesome playlist from their post-Binaural stuff, though. I just hate that every album rollout has people proclaiming, "It's them going back to Ten!" I don't want that. Ten exists. I don't need it again. Do something new. I was excited after Dance of the Clairvoyants came out. It seemed like they might be at least trying something different. But the rest of the album was the same old forgettable stuff. I'll still see them live any chance I get.
I just had an argument with some friends kind of related to this. I was telling them that The Beatles aren't a very interesting band to me. Now, I don't find them interesting, but I think they're amazing. It's two different things. To me, they're almost too perfect. Their catalog is all great and that's pretty much everyone's opinion.
To me, artists like the Stones, Dylan and Neil Young are way more interesting. All of them have these supposed "bad" periods. The Beatles don't have that (aside from solo stuff). One of the major things I enjoy about experiencing music is the discovery aspect. I did that with the Beatles in college (Yeah, I came a bit late to them). I heard all of the "classic" Stones and Dylan albums, but was always told that they had these down periods (80's, really, for both). In the last few years, I started diving into those periods for both artists. I found so much music that I really loved in there.
So, that's a long way of me saying that I also love checking out those "3 star" albums (Would that be like a 7 on Pitchfork?). That's where you find the "interesting" stuff.
