Girl Band and my hangover were not clicking with each other.

Thought about making the Rolling Stone cover the graphic for this piece.

I've been in rooms with both of those guys before. I am fairly confident I could disarm El by starting a discussion about the respective merits of different Steven Seagal movies. Mike would just pull out my spine like a Mortal Kombat fatality & laugh at me.

Yes. It's his best movie.

Song is great! Video is whatever! I have a strong personal aversion to that whole TV Carnage thing.

I think he's pretty bad at rapping, and I don't really understand his whole thing. He's good on "Mixtape" tho.

yes, perfect, right answer.

I went to college there, and I can say with some authority that no, it isn't, come on.

Pavement were godawful terrible at Lolla 95. (I saw the set where they got pelted with mud.)

He used his DatPiff account to post it.

The Ferg album is good! I planned to write about it! But Ferg's label sent me a stream that expired after one listen. I had to keep re-requesting it. I can't really write about an album like that. But I'll have things to say about it once I get reliable access.

Can't believe I didn't recognize it at first, but that's the beat from Super Cat's "Dolly My Baby."

Yeah, that's my bad, wrote that too fast. Fixed.

I've tried again and again and again. They have, I want to say, 4 songs that I think are pretty good. I can list them if you want.

"One Dance" > "Pop Style." So maybe, in this one instance, music > rap.

I don't miss working at Pitchfork. I just have a very high self-opinion, is all.

Been that way since I was a teenager. Watching them at Lolla 95 was a real "wow, these guys don't give a FUCK" eye-opener, and in a bad way. Everyone else on that stage that day was working hard -- even Beck, who hadn't come close to putting it all together yet. Cypress Hill, who I think came on right after Pavement, were *really* working hard. That disaffected sloppiness has always been a massive turn-off for me. I like when people try. I know I am an island in this. That's fine. I won't try to convince anyone else. But that's where I'm at with them.

Yes, I am someone who has worked in the indie rock press for 16 years who has heard Pavement once or twice, you got me figured out.

I'm not implying. I'm outright stating that it's better.

Scott and I don't agree on everything. For instance, I actually feel like Scott might love Junk.

"Highest order" not meaning "good." "Highest order" meaning "boy, this sure is a freakout."

Usually most notable, tho sometimes I just put stuff I really like up near the top. And I don't think a whole lot about how I sort it.

Ayyy I'm just a man with some open-toed sandals on my feet out here tryna spit some bars in these streets, why police wanna apply the heat? etc

Ah shit, I forgot about that one. Putting that list together is hard!

I don't usually put mixtapes on there, but I probably would've picked Kamaiyah for AOTW if I'd heard it before writing the AOTW piece. Stay tuned for more on that.

Was planning on giving it to Mind Spiders and then this came along.

OF ME! STANDING BY A TREE! WITH SOME KHAKI DICKIES ON AND A WHITE TEE! Felt personally insulted when I was writing this and I realized the "Conversation" video wasn't on YouTube.

It was pretty good! And nothing about it was like "this is an A-lister right here."

ALTERNATE THEORY: Kanye and Taylor had the phone conversation. Kanye told Taylor about the "Famous" line and got completely pissed off about it but kept her gameface on. She realized that she had more to gain by it being out there. In this scenario, her response is still completely genuine, but she was strategic enough to let him hang himself. I've been thinking about this a lot.

Maybe that's why Kanye sold it for like 6 hours, like when a movie plays on 2 screens for a week to qualify for the Oscars.

You guys are seriously going to get upset about male musicians wearing makeup and acting sexual? In 2016? A month after we all mourned David Bowie?
