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

Poor Frank Ocean stans staying up real late only to get some Snapchat filters. Boys did cry I'm sure. Let's not blame Frank, though. He never indicated his album was dropping today, the New York Times did. (FWIW the paper maintains it could arrive on Apple Music "at any moment." Oh, ye of so little faith — don't doubt it, don't doubt it!) In the meantime here's a playlist of all the ambient instrumental music from Frank's woodworking demo.

Well, I’m not waiting two weeks and I’m sure as shit not signing up for Apple Music, so I guess it’s door number three.

IKEA generally likes its furniture to ship ready to assemble, without additional parts dribbling out over the course of three months after purchase.

They had a really good debut album but I think they sold out a bit trying to be the new R.E.M. 'Around the sun' era. Methinks that blending electronics with Joy Division style theatrics is a recipe for diastar.

Oh, fuck off. They must have forgot the confederate flag at home both times they played Vegas. And BLM *are* assholes. Thinking they should be dubbed a terrorist organization is not paramount to racism. But this article is grabbing at straws to reach new levels of unprofessionalism.

But seriously, I like a few of his songs but let's not hype this up like its going to be the best record of the year. He's not as good as Kendrick Lamar.
