Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments
This week’s Shut Up, Dude comes to you from Louisville where Forecastle is about to kick off with a strong lineup that includes Arcade Fire, the War On Drugs, Jason Isbell, Father John Misty, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett, Hiss Golden Messenger, and Jenny Lewis. (It’s not all tasteful dad-rock, though: the fest will also host Westside Gunn + Conway, White Reaper, T-Pain, and Khruangbin, among others.) Two guys who are not here are Michael Stipe and Thom Yorke because they’re busy forming a human shield in Williamsburg.

I love that this piece exists, but I gotta point out that there’s a typo in the headline. I believe the lyric is “yyyyyit’s been.” |

We need to consider the possibility of a record so unreleased that we don’t understand it yet. |

Ironically, no one who bought this pedal has ever “melted” much less seen female genitalia IRL. |

If you’re wondering why Tom didn’t write Album Of The Week this week, he’s on vacation. And if you’re wondering why Michael didn’t write a Premature Evaluation on this… he’s heard it. |

Dude is a total charlatan who has somehow convinced Justin and Kanye he’s a genius. |

That said, for those of you who (like me) cannot get enough Michael Nelson essays-as-opuses, he’s working on one about the state of heavy music that will hopefully be out this week. |

THIS WEEK’S 5 LOWEST RATED COMMENTS

The only “holy shit” surprise I can think of that would make me utter those words is a performance from Morrissey. There’s the shock factor of Justin Vernon knowing him and implicitly condoning his actions, and then there’s the shock that Moz actually showed up and played for as long as he was supposed to. |
