Dr. Richards: [indecipherable mumbling] cigarettes.

This whole “live music might never recover!111" thing strikes me as another example of old people believing The End Is Nigh simply because they can’t imagine the world going on in a different state to that which they’re accustomed.

Dude has a platform. He could drag their asses through the mud on social media if he chose to. That would almost undoubtedly drive the cost/benefit into the negative.

My first thought exactly -- if he isn't getting paid, *no way* anyone outside a production company/studio/licenser is.

As someone raised on king’s books and 80's/90's film & TV adaptations, I think it’s insane weighing the books/adaptations against one another.

Is he really “over-rated"? Over-paid, over-employed, sure, but I'm not aware of any rave reviews being thrown his way.

I’m not sure a person can exist as a public figure in the internet age without receiving *implied* death threats, at minimum.

“Bing”? What kind of perverted service is that?

Hey, the dude’s into precise terminology, ie, a “pedantophile” — a kink that’s one auto-correct away from serous problems.

I'm sure they get free soda and a ping pong table to maybe sleep on or whatever sometimes. What a bunch of devas.

lil uzi vert ~ [NRA] “We guess so?”

[Band immediately sues the United Negro College Fund for for some reason.]

[Asks self, “Was he the mail man?”

I can back this hypothesis — I was once hit in the face during a performative-rage-throwing by a college professor, who immediately took me aside and begged me not to sue.

I expect nothing less than him sneaking around in a refrigerator box with two big eye holes cut in the front for two hours while heavily armed guards look around completely oblivious to it.

“...streaming on Hoopla or Kanopy...”

Man, that Deafheaven recording sounds cleaner and more polished than ~99% of proper studio metal. For a genre that rarely translates well live-to-tape, it's frickin astounding....particularly for a subgenre that sounds like shit on tape often as a matter of principle.

Yeah...”it is unnatural” is potentially the dumbest thing anyone could write about a decades old, dinosaur-sized, cartoon dog.

Wasn’t that a running joke in The Velvet Goldmine — guys pretending to be bi together chicks?

“...highly competent and undervalued social media person...”
