Actually I didn't know who died until YOU JUST FUCKING SAID IT YOU DICK

I wish the font wasn't so damn big. It's hard to read giant, Large Readers Digest sized text quickly. You actually have to move your eyes across the huge fucking words.

Dude, fucking Outbreak. We watched Outbreak every goddamn semester in high School. I think the only other two movies our crappy public school owned were Apollo 13, which we also watched at least five times, and Gattaca, which I would have enjoyed, but they played it on a 20-inch CRT TV with fake-wood paneling that…

My apologies for quoting a Salon article, but basically, this:
"'Applause,'… put forth the central thesis of Gaga’s career — that fame is an interesting topic and one that she relates to. “I live for the applause,” Gaga sang, as though this were somehow novel or unique to her. Gaga had made vague statements about fame…

In fact it's probably less important/interesting, unless you are a…

This might be the last straw. Why even read about music here anymore?

"artist" lol

Page hits are probably the best answer.

At least Hall and Oates wrote good songs, had technically good singing voices, etc. I don't get how anyone can get into Haim, they have rudimentary chops, which might be OK if they were making punk/garage/indie, but they're trying to pull off polished pop nonsense, and you better sound good if you are going to make…

They both suck.

Agreed. Pretty much all my old favorite websites have turned into pop bullshit. I feel old.

"generic kinda chart-pop with an indie blog backup plan"

Payola?
