Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best Comments

This week Grimes apologized to Coachella and Evan Dando apologized to Jawbreaker but where is Taylor Swift's apology to music bloggers for releasing a surprise album at 2AM? Happy for Charles Otto Puth Jr. though.

This is such a well written well researched bit of gear about some truly, truly awful bands. I can’t believe you really subjected yourself to all that.

Love was asked for her opinion on these artists in an interview and she gave her opinion on these artists. I don’t see the problem.

"When Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager… Never got a phone call probably never will."

This sounds like dialogue from an I Think You Should Leave sketch

I hate it when my friends get comped 10 bikes for free from Wally, so I get it.

If I had my way, this would be what 100% of Stereogum content was. I can get press releases about album releases and regurgitated TMZ articles about Instagram beefs anywhere. But this is a detailed, opinionated article at a genre offshoot that is selling out arenas and stadiums that I have never understood. Sure, it's not about music I am actually going to listen to, but it's super useful context next time I find myself staring blankly at a music festival lineup, or trying to understand why Stubhub tickets for a band that sounds like it came out of a 2005 Hot Topic are going for $600. Had a ton of fun reading this, and hope we get more stuff like it in the future (ideally on a more than monthly cadence).

Also I'm sorry to report I think that last Spiritbox song kinda goes.
