These Ingeborg Bachmann rom-coms are getting out of hand.

Remember how popular Eminem used to be? Any time he was criticized for his lyrics by another celebrity, he would just call them gay in a song. I think he had a hand in Trumpism.

The next AC/DC album should be called Bust A Nut, and have their logo emblazoned on chrome Truck Nutz as cover art. Someone tell Angus.

I miss all of you.

Robert Christgau called the Clash's lukewarm, blah debut the greatest rock and roll LP ever released in America.

Meanwhile he only reviewed one Deerhoof album.

He gave it a C +.

Wow

I barely know (IRL) anyone here, but yes, I'd miss them, too.

Open invitation: I live in the sticks, but work ~ the Northbrook/Highland Park, IL area. If there's anyone in that neighborhood here who'd ever want to meet up to talk for a bit.. lunch or otherwise.. let me know. Any of you in the city.. I'd be happy to make my way down there sometime to do the same.

I think we should rename the rust belt "methopotamia."

What's with the kids all stanning on Michael Jackson now like that emo vampire never ever built himself a private child-grooming ranch? Like, remember when Michael Jackson was a fucking notorious pedophile? No, everything is fine? I see.

Is this what they call the "Mandela Effect"? What's next, Phil Spector was a cool guy to hang out with?

This.

Talented man, but I find his music shiny, sugary and superficial anyway. Taking classic Sly Stone, James Brown and Al Green shit and wrapping it up with a nice Bee Gees bow on top for suburban consumers:



And oh yeah, apparently he was a child molester.

Crap
