Wait, Vaporwave didn't have any certified classics yet?

You think The Witch is unintentionally funny but you like Insidious?

I don't know, EDM (I'm talking about your big American dubstep types that have been megapopular for the last 5ish years) was/is a pretty one-note genre. I'm certain some equally digestible form of electronic music will replace it, but I wouldn't be surprised if current state EDM never makes a comeback.

Mumford and Sons rode the wave, but Bon Iver almost certainly spearheaded the indie folk revival in 2007 when For Emma was a critical and commercial smash. Hopefully 22, a Million is its deathknell though because goddamn the last 6 years have have been just awful.

Revivalism and pastiche are rock's bread and butter these days. We're going through a 70s phase right now with folks like Kurt Vile, Real Estate, Whitney, etc, as well as a 90s/2000s Midwest Emo revival with The World is Not a Beautiful Place to Die, American Football, and so on. That one may be dying out, though—I…

Nah, ever since the internet enabled the melding of mainstream and underground culture sometime around the mid 2000s rap has seen a tremendous resurgence in quality. I'll admit that a lot of early 2000s rap is garbage (mixed in with plenty of stone cold classics from folks like Kanye, Company Flow, Madvillain, etc),…

Modern hip-hop is more dynamic, experimental, and exciting than ever before. I have no idea where this opinion is coming from.

Nope, EDM is on the outs. Festival attendance and sales have been declining for years now. I'd say Rn'B is the new trend, considering the popularity of Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, Anderson Paak, Beyoncé and Solange, etc, but it's hard to call these things while they're in process.

Kanye's best records are better than Weezer's best records. And I LOVE Weezer.

All the songs are pretty great though, especially if you think of the tracks after Wolves as bonus cuts—like Kanye suggests on 30 Hours (which is also a goddamn fantastic song).

I always describe Pablo as Kanye turning up at a club to start shit and then crumpling into the corner as he the realities of his life start caving in on him. And then everything after Wolves/Frank's Track is bonus content (like Kanye literally says in 30 Hours).

Yeah, it's the record that made me think for a long time that Wilco really WERE just dull dad rock. Working backwards, A Ghost is Born, for all its messiness, completely changed my mind.

He's doing very specific parodies of the documentaries in question. It's pretty wonderful, too.

Fun fact, a buddy of mine is from Eau Claire and everyone around there knows Justin. Apparently the cabin was less a shack in the woods and more like a super nice house just a few minutes outside of town. It's funny how the music press has built this whole pastoral mythology for the guy when he basically just went to…

Why do we hate Fred Armisen again?

I saw it last night, can't recommend it enough. Easily one of my favorite films of the year.

Absolutely stunning, without a doubt a top five record of the year from any vantage point.

It's been renewed for a fourth season. Can't find anything about when it's airing, though.

You're crazy, Trash Humpers is some great horror/black-comedy.

Meanwhile, this is a very lazy interpretation of the film.
