They played Vertigo over the speakers when I toured the Guinness factory in Dublin and it made both the song and the experience more fun and way dumber.
I like the way they worked in Light Up Gold II! Maybe they've been doing this for a while, but it was the first time I'd heard them do that. Cool stuff.
Part of me wonders how many of the "small font tragedies" are for acts whose places were initially negotiated two years ago for the 2020 festival. black midi are at basically the same place as they were last time, though definitely like they would've been higher this time around. Doja Cat, on the other hand, shot up a full four lines. Clearly they cracked that deal back open. Wonder how many acts did/didn't try to do that.
These things are already being used as extensions of the police state. Even if posting this is just intended to relish in how weird these things and the people who make them are, it still plays into their hands. They want to seem creative and non-threatening. Ultimately these things will be sold to the state to further oppress our poorest communities. Please don't cover these ghouls.
Of course all this is subjective but I would rather listen to "Can't Believe It" by T-Pain than literally any of the huge, very good hits Usher has had. I'd probably prefer it 4 out of 5 times.
At what point do we just say posthumous verses have to stay in the vault? Personally makes my skin crawl to hear people add verses to dead musicians' songs after the fact and throw in a "RIP" to the artist on their *own* song. Maybe these songs here were in the works before their deaths, but if they weren't, we gotta launch Adam Levine into the sun.
