Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

This week we announced the lineup to Range Life 2013, our annual event during SXSW. If you’ll be at the fest, please join us for free Taco Bell. If you’ll be stuck in a cubicle somewhere, Morrissey will probably have some beef for you. In addition to Moz, we had plenty to write about since the last Shut Up, Dude. We launched two new columns: Backtrack and The Black Market. We ranked the weirdest U2 crafts, the best Rilo Kiley songs, and the Rolling Stones’ discography. We deconstructed 20 years of Thom Yorke and 10 years of the Postal Service. We chatted with Kurt Vile and DJed with the Ruby Suns. Our Album Of The Week went to Autre Ne Veut and our Monthly Mix went to Spotify. Yeah Yeah Yeahs spread the gospel and David Bowie streamed his comeback. Check out the best and worst responses to all of this below.

THIS WEEK’S 10 HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS

#10

Jim Rountree | Feb 26th Score:20

maybe i’ll get flamed for this, maybe not. at this point i’m not really caring. in rainbows is my favorite radiohead album. once all the hype from their distribution fell down, we were left with their most top to bottom incredible album since kid a. it’s my go to when i want to listen to them. for a band that had nothing left to surprise with, making an album like that was more shocking. they’ll always throw a left hook when you least expect them to.

The next Morrissey story I see better be “Stereogum Editors Vow to Never Mention Morrissey Again Unless He Actually Does Something of Merit” or I’m just done with this place. But hey, gotta sell them adspaces.

Stereogum: We Got a Column for Everything.

The site could probably use a redesign soon to organize all of these new features sprouting up on a daily basis in a way where they don’t get lost amongst themselves, or possibly a table of contents. There’s an online magazine on here somewhere — Your design team just needs to piece it together.

Also, exploiting Sandy Hook in his hissy fit to make him look like he has the moral high ground is 10x more offensive than anything Jimmy Kimmel said.

Albert Abonado | Feb 27th Score:35

This is a pretty intellectually dishonest response. Making fun of depression? Obesity? Dragging Sandy Hook in to make a point? That’s pretty gross, Morrissey.

Simon Chapman | Feb 28th Score:72

Watch out, Stereogum, you’ll soon incur the wrath of Morrissey for consistently including him in a feature with the word “Beef” in the title.

I have to tell you Tom. You are an annoying writer. You drop f bombs and use hipster terminology like “solid” and “shitty” and all the other annoying hipster blog buzz words like no other. It’s incredibly annoying. That’s all I wanted to say. Read Robert Christgau and lay off the “Cool”-aid for a while. And repent for your “In Defense of Mumford and Sons” heresy.
