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

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

This week we reviewed the latest albums by Brand New, Queens Of The Stone Age, the War On Drugs, EMA, and LCD Soundsystem. We liked all of them! We spoke to Creed (!) and the National. We revisited the Paisley Underground, Pacific Ocean Blue, and “Wichita Lineman.” We saw a Kendrick Lamar show and asked why so many bands are surprising their fans with snail mail. We soundtracked a total solar eclipse. Read some comments about those things and pay your respects to the old Taylor below.

I grant it 2.5 edges. If her videos or songs reference or discuss trans bathrooms, muslim rape gangs, or confederate statutes, I will allow 3.8 edges.

There are countless talented bands and musicians toiling away for years, anchoring local scenes across the USA and across the world, while also having to work day jobs. The vast majority of these bands never even see their record reviewed on Stereogum or Pitchfork.

Meanwhile, what once were internet sites devoted to “Independent” music are more than happy to promote mass produced, celebrity pop-stars with multi-million dollar marketing budgets.

I feel like the distance we have to go before we get respectable music journalism craft is only widening, although on the plus side, this way no one has to get out of their chair.

has this all-white (to my knowledge) band naming itself after a federal eugenics project rubbed anyone else the wrong way, or just me?
