that tech9 song sounds like the same recycled trap-and-gunshot + "WOW we discovered dancehall in 2015" mix that everyone else is doing -- "heaven only knows" is fresh & joyous

fair enough, but i'd say "mumford folk" is a decidedly recognizable subgenre at this point. plus i don't really think they sound like the avett brothers at all but that's just opinion differences i guess

i'm aware there were a number of factors, i was merely citing one for a little context. the point of this post wasn't really to go into the trauma that wilson has been through, though yes, i'm aware it exists.

i am aware, which is why i intentionally kept the piece very light-hearted and gentle. but i thought the soundbite was a funny enough little quip to be noted.

that was a thought i had too, although why not say that? fans might have been more sympathetic. of course i understand the need for privacy too, though. hopefully that's not the reason.

it's a biopic -- good point! and yeah, the suing allegation is only coming from Singleton, no other source on that. i think his refusal to be associated with it is a bad sign regardless, and i'm thinking of the recent terrible biopics on whitney houston & aaliyah when i say that.

i would totally pay to do that too -- as long as people are allowed to turn the function off when they don't want you following along haha.

this is my fav conspiracy theory so far :) i have to admit, i was hard-pressed to find snippets in the brief tidal video that reminded me of the haxan sounds... it seemed like a really quick jump in my personal opinion. but i don't listen to his music much.

actually, in the article i said their ignorance was the most troubling part. in the comments i added that i personally find their apathy after they DID find out to be unsettling.

The promoter and I both linked to his interviews about how fans have emailed him saying the Viet Cong tortured and killed the families of Vietnamese-Americans. It's here at 4:51 if you want to watch although it's also linked above! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXaiEcgRxTg. I think his blasé attitude toward those comments is pretty insane, yeah. If your band name brings up those kinds of memories for a group of people and the context is totally divorced from the band themselves, then yeah it's problematic to me. And Krasnov also goes through the context point-by-point, citing Oberlin's historical stance toward social justice issues, which seems to be the larger context for his own decision.

ding ding ding! go to 4:51 and see what he says about his Vietnamese fans emailing him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXaiEcgRxTg (this video is also linked in the promoter's reasoning above)

given the context of "feel" i think my interpretation actually makes more sense than a dictionary def. that's the great thing about music's subjectivity though!
