Glad to see the Taylor ship potentially righting, but this is some subpar music writing.

It’s definitely choppier waters than he usually gets himself into, but yeah, I always thought the premise of the joke was that dril is such an abjectly pathetic human being he’d try to sic an internet hate mob on the mascots of a cookie that disappointed him - like all the twerps who tried to start a “Gamergate of…

But we don’t wanna *do* *things*!! We’re Hollywood!

And *she’s* the dead one!

Any non-Fury Road use of his talents until this happens is an affront to humanity.

...Or it’s become clear to them in the wake of all this that reporting assault is something you’re obliged to do to prevent future victims?

Alright, that front-page blurb is the most I’ve enjoyed the post-Kinja site format so far.

Max Landis has said some flagrantly wrong things in his time, but I’ll give him credit - whenever he does something social-justicey like this and it inevitably attracts a trail of whiny pissants in the replies calling him disingenuous or whatever, he’s got a pretty solid response handy: “do you really think the Mary…

Apparently they really took that “modulation” part seriously.

Michael Franti’s later career as perennial Macy’s soundtrack filler might disqualify them.

I can hardly imagine what sort of format would be to us what computer-generated animation on the level of “Frozen” was to the 1940s.

Well try pursuing a high-level studio position, apparently, if that’s what you’re after.

Oh shit abort abort

I feel like this comment is some sort of cosmically necessary balance to the online Porg hate. Like, the planets are back in alignment or something because you want to fuck them.

Show of hands, is there anyone here who’s actively offended by the existence of cover versions? Or thinks recording a standards album is somehow bizarre and novel?

Calling “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” a cover seems strange, considering that Robert Hazard’s version never got beyond a demo and was subject to significant alterations before Cyndi recorded it. In my view it’s not much different from the modern songwriter->producer->star model for pop hits, and we don’t say that…

Genuinely not realizing that your corny album title is also a pervasive internet hate slogan somehow seems like a very 2017 Maroon 5 move to me.

And hopefully will be again, schedules permitting.

I don’t doubt that Neil is a class act, maybe one of the few genuine ones we have left. I’m just annoyed that this’ll probably be some degree of a problem for him.
