Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments
It’s only a week into 2014 and we’ve already seen Beyoncé, Questlove, and Ani Difranco forced to apologize for (or at least acknowledge) questionable behavior made late last year. Social media is really just a giant gotcha game now. I notice no one has apologized for mashing up Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory with “Gangnam Style,” though. We celebrated the music of Benjamin Curtis, deconstructed post-Deafheaven metal, and discussed mortality in the context of Yeezus and MVOTC. We profiled Future and in the process got confirmation of OutKast’s Coachella reunion. Finally, we awarded the 50 Best Comments Of 2013. Here’s to mucho upvotes in the new year…

You would think that Brian Williams, a guy who has made more than a few off-color “jokes” about how big his allegedly dick looks while wearing a pair of khakis, would have no probably eating up Pussy on air. |

The main roster: Scott is 35 years old according to Gothamist article from 2004 if you do the math. Tom is a very old version of a 33-year-old for reasons of dadhood and marriage. M. Nelson is in his 40s. Chris Deville is approximately 29 years old if he was 22-years-old when he graduated Ohio University 7 years ago (source: His Stereogum introduction post.) Miles Bowe just entered puberty this past year, so expect a lot of hormonal changes and growth spurts in his music thoughts for awhile. |

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard the song, and I still haven’t heard the original version. It just goes to show that all you have to do is avoid pubs and clubs if you wanna keep it real!!!! www.andywarstar.blogspot.com & www.andywarstar.wordpress.com – Keepin’ it real since 1998 |

Gosh, he’s got one rough-looking face. That’s what an addiction to drugs and booze gives you. Still, I don’t understand women who get with anyone with a past like that even if they are marginally creative, and I really do stress the word “marginally” when it comes to Deer Tick’s music. Then again, it’s that Michelle Branch knockoff we’re talking about here (who has to be a knockoff of 10 other things, right?) and after dating that douche from Third Eye Blind (mastermind behind “Non-Dairy Creamer,” never forget!) maybe it makes looking past pretty boys with inflated egos a lot easier. |
