Giving me war flashbacks to the Alice in Wonderland TV-movie from the 90’s where Whoopi played the Cheshire Cat

Suffice it to say that he's one of the few artists making guitar-based music that is really, truly boundary-pushing and special to me. Fantastic stuff.
I actually learned it was a cover yesterday too! But I figured the Spoon version clearly popularized the song, due in no small part to Rob's performance of the aforementioned already-written bass lick.
“For evah yours” i.e., don’t any of you fuckers ever forget I played bass on Don’t You Evah and laid down one of the best bass licks of the fucking decade.
There was a time when I devoured *any* snippet of unreleased Kanye music, no matter where it came from. I remember watching the clips of the New Slaves wall projections and listening to the 5-second Bound 2 snippet on the website on repeat. It just... no longer feels like an event. Truly don't care about this.
Oh of course. I'm very excited for Rolling Stone's "Best Albums of the 10's" list when number one is gonna be *squints* Songs of Innocence.
Still, SOMEONE has said Meg is amazing.
Rolling Stone doesn't use the word "amazing," but I don't think one would be on their "greatest of all time" if that wasn't their implication.

I really don't remember Tom's praise of the "Bad Guy" video being that effusive when it was first released, but as someone who was late to the entire Billie party, that video really is a pretty perfect encapsulation of why she's so huge. It's top-notch.
I used to think that ironic acoustic cover of Boyz n the Hood that got played on alt radio was really good until the literal moment I turned older than 16.
This shit is always so funny. There has never been a good one of these. And that includes the Alien Ant Farm version of "Smooth Criminal," which still totally blows.
Was curious if anyone would bring up Razorblade. In a post-Lil Nas X/In Bloom world, whoever controls the publishing to Mandy (or the original "Brandy") may have a legitimate claim to Razorblade.
"Nine Inch Nails wrote the Lil Nas X song" is the new "Nine Inch Nails wrote the Johnny Cash song" is the soon-to-be "Nine Inch Nails wrote the Miley Cyrus Black Mirror song."
American Football get to this too on their new album in some surprisingly open lyrics:
"I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze"
Millennial here, still very far away from having kids but too old to have been a kid while the show was in its prime. Having watched every episode, I'm confident in saying it's one of the best TV shows, for kids or adults, of this (or maybe any) decade. And the music is absolutely beautiful. Melancholy, weird, and hopeful tunes.
