Good news indeed. Hard to believe he had not written any book yet as literary and eloquent as he is. Arguably the preeminent voice of the Britpop generation. Looking forward to the stories and insights.
Interesting, I would not have guessed her leading this comparison. Though the Ntl are a much larger live draw. But then why the hired gun songwriter at this point?
Ha. We're on a post where pop singer Demi Lovato is plugging an 5G alien website to her kiddie followers and you're out here worried about cynicism. I threw out some basic thoughts that came to mind. Feel free to dismiss as "boilerplate". Anyone can take anything however they want--as long as they don't interfere with others forming their own takes.
If people marginalize even the most general sentiments of awareness and inquiry by equating to Kevin Smith fandom (junk), we are in more trouble than it seems. (If it wasn't clear, I'm saying this Gaia stuff is B.S.)
The song is great but would not have guessed a pricey Dan Wilson co-write was in the cards for her. That can't be framed as anything other than a grasp at commercial breakthrough. Also disappointing to see her submit to the tired devil/hell imagery trend seemingly everyone is doing these days. Independent Mitski had a good run.
Great call! His 1995 debut predates White Town by a couple years for bedroom pop innovators. (I don't want to ruin the picture you might have, but he has a photo as his avatar on Spotify.)

In looking up what White Town is up today, found out the Other Site ran a vintage review of his debut LP just yesterday, had no idea.

You mean the narrative that's going around isn't accurate?! Perhaps it's the goodwill Fred has earned over these recent years for being willing to have a sense of humor about himself that is translating to positive press.
Understandably scathing take. "Archtechs of Carnage" is a bit much (but a cool band name). Inevitabilty is perhaps not the tone for something so freak that happens every 20 years. Responsibility and accountability, yes. How many cut corners happen at say, hardcore shows?
That "stop the show!" video that keeps going around is just surreal. After 10 or so views, I notice it's weirdly in 4:3 with smooth tilts and pans from an elevated angle at the camera stand height.
That was an incredibly well composed and detailed recollection for someone having just experienced all this. Full of terror and tension and grammatically perfect.
Well I guess Slipknot is not interested in pursuing a Limp Bizkit-like reinvention and some potential critical reevaluation. Which is a bummer because Corey seems like a good dude. But his music remains for kids and maniacs.
Yeah Noisepop much closer to SXSW than the usual festival. Problem is it can be expensive to stay in SF for several days. Perhaps the tourist market has leveled off a bit since the recent decline up there.
Courtney suggested there was something deep about the placement of the song in the show, that's what I was referring to. I am still wondering what the "are you new to Jesse Armstrong" comment means.
And she wasn't really even in the news on this one. She chimed in, unsolicited, on her Instagram, to humble brag that she was in the room when the song was written, and that she is certain of what Kurt what have thought about this placement of his song in a silly TV show.
