He matters more in Nashville now than fuckin Auerbach, who's all over that thing.

I haven't seen the Austin episode yet, but there does seem to be something weird about which artists get left out of which cities: No mention of Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago, no mention of Jack White in Nashville. I know it's one dude's subjective idea of these cities and all, but it's weird to just ignore those guys.

Start one. And please stop with the "we don't take this stuff seriously and we write about it for money" argument. It's stupid.

Too bad I couldn't work in the bit about how I tear up every time the "marry me Juliet" bit kicks in on "Love Story." Taylor Swift songs stay affecting me.

Taylor has a bad habit of releasing albums the same day as immediate rap classics. Red came out same day as Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City.

I somehow always do this. Fixed, thank you.

I don't think people ever remember the whole tax thing when they're doing Kickstarter project. You have to cough up a fuckton of that money.

I worked for the Village Voice when I got married, so I can't say. There were a bunch of writers at my wedding, though.

He was on Twitter before just about anyone, giving away albums for free before just about anyone, did the whole Year: Zero viral marketing thing, maintained a lively connection with online fans before it was cool. Nobody prominent from his generation was on it the way he was.

Wow, yup, good catch. Thanks.

Breathe easy. Ben Allen isn't remotely a hip-hop producer. He did, like, the Gnarls Barkley album, which is probably what they're talking about. He used to mix and engineer rap records, like back in the '90s. But his recent resume is way more indie rock: Washed Out's Within and Without, Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest, a couple Bombay Bicycle Club albums. It's not like they ran out and got DJ Mustard.

It appears that only I have a magical computer where Soundcloud has a "download all" button. Watch me go mad with power now. Also, nobody will ever love you, arsetothat.

That has to be Thundercat on the bass, right?

The drummer's Daddy, it might be worth mentioning, is Max Weinberg. Also, Jay was really fun to watch onstage, and he totally acted like he was the frontman of the band. SO MUCH stick-twirling.

Great answer. I was thinking possibly Scarface too, but he's been pretty inactive for the past few years.

You have to adjust for distance. Sam Smith is sitting one mile away from the camera.

They were great! Early on, anyway! But the idea of grouping them into a hot-new-scene with Portishead was a fundamental misunderstanding of everything all 3 of them were doing, as was the idea that they represented the music of the future.

Yes. This is not up for debate. Nobody has ever cried to Aesop.

Man I'm just fucking with you. Lese Majesty is a fine piece of arty rap splurge, but I don't love it the way so many of y'all do. And I can't get my mind around the idea that it's better than a sparkling, insightful, gorgeously recorded Jenny Lewis album.

I will oblige. Here are my thoughts on the Death Grips thing: I hate it. I tried again, and I continue to hate pretty much everything they do. That's about as far as my thoughts go.

I actually know for a fact that the Flaming Lips' confetti budget for a single show is more than I make in a month. The Flaming Lips are not at the mercy of my whims. And if you are looking to Stereogum for objective music news, you are looking to it for the wrong reasons.

No, actually, I don't like writing about this stuff at all. And the music press has covered intra-band beefs and shit-talk since there was a music press. And I'm really, really trying hard not to go all editorially overboard when I'm writing this stuff up. You'll not that the phrase "fuck this dude" does not appear in the post once.
