Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments
This week Kate Bush returned to the stage after 35 years, Blood Brothers reunited at FYF, and Buster Poindexter joined Arcade Fire. Grimes released a great new video (but not an ice bucket video). We talked to Sinkane, Mutual Benefit, and in our latest #longread profile the guys from Merchandise. We ranked AC/DC’s albums worst to best and reviewed new albums from Ty Segall, Raury, and Interpol. We watched St. Vincent curse at the French journalists giving her a cruel listening test. We learned Rivers Cuomo is getting a sitcom and Adam Duritz is on Tinder. And speaking of 1994, the Sex Beatles’ Definitely Maybe turns 20 this weekend. Some critics really called Oasis “the Sex Beatles” back then, you guys! People in the ’90s were quite excitable (and the Internet was slow). Check out the week’s best and worst comments below and have a safe Labor Day if you celebrate Labor Day.

Quantitative evidence: questioning fast food sponsorship is worse than homophobia. Lesson learned, you insensitive son of a bitch. |

What’s “hip” about having an opinion? Sad that you don’t seem to have one. |

Look, I’m one of the biggest Kanye apologists you’ll ever meet. Ye interrupting Swift at the VMAs? Actually hilarious and kind of true! Ye releasing Yeezus? Well, he’s pushing new territory! Ye jacking Aphex Twin with a very Mulholland Drive-esque “it’s not your song anymore”? … FUCK YOU KANYE! APOLOGIZE NOW YOU TWAT! |

One of the few ways in which music has improved in the past 20 years is that there are now a lot less people pretending to like this kind of rock-critic-bait crap. |
