With the exception of possibly Anderson and Beyonce (I have no idea were Buddy Holly’s final residence was) all those people maintain at least part time residence here. Hell, in the last year we’ve gained Joe Rogan, 50 Cent, and Elon Musk . . . actually, let me stop there.

Nah, Texas actually produces most of the stuff you hipsters love. Spoon, Mars Volta/At The Drive In, Khruangbin, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson, Robert Ramirez, Beyonce, Eryka Badu, Lizzo, Megan the Stallion and a tons of other rappers high on cough syrup, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson. I’ll also take

Probably have to go to the deeper cuts:

I love Sleater-Kinney and I generally like St. Vincent but TCWH sounded too much like recent St. Vincent. I remember being hyped when it was announced that she was collaborating on the record, but that was their most forgettable batch of songs. 

I wonder how well the I’ve-never-heard-of-you-or-this-song defense works in these cases? Isn’t it plausible that the two songs came to fruition independently and just happen to sound similar?

I gotta think that she has no appeal among the LGTB community either. If she’s going to run as a Republican how can she be seen as anything other than a ladder puller. Considering every Republican state house is currently busy trying to criminalize being trans.

That’s Sir Mix-A-Lot. Sex Packets starts with a “The Way We Swing” which is a great song. Great use of the Jimi Hendrix/Buddy Miles sample.

At least Freaks of the Industry acknowledges that it’s not okay for your homies watch you as you’re engaging in freakiness. Downright progressive in the era of “It Ain’t no Fun If the Homies Can’t Have None”.

I think it’s also important to differentiate “trafficking” from the very specific “child-sex trafficking” or the “harvesting children for adrenochrome” nonsense that tends to be at the core of most of the QANON horseshit. Considering it encompasses both pimping, as in the case of Matt Gaetz, or taking someone over an

Yeah, but streaming stats are not the same as point of purchase/shipping stats. 30-40 years ago to have a hit meant everyone young and old had at least heard the song because radio was the primary way to discover music. My parents weren’t necessarily fans but they knew who Madonna and Michael Jackson were.

Even 21 years ago consuming music was a completely different landscape. It occurred to me watching the Bee Gees doc on HBO that popularity to the point of ubiquity is basically a thing of the past for musicians. The Bee Gees at one point had 7 songs on the Billboard top 20. Even Outkast, for as popular as they were,

I know he told this same story on Talib Kweli’s “The People’s Party” podcast. Don’t know if that’s were you heard it but you can hear him recount it in that interview. I think you got most of the details correct.

I’d cry, but I can’t spare the moisture.

I saw her pop up in the short lived Three’s Company spin off Three’s a Crowd as Jack Tripper’s mother in law. A show that featured Jeffrey Tambor as Jack’s boss.

I saw some clip where these guys were interviewing Q people outside a tRump rally, mask-less of course, and they said something along the lines of COVID being a hoax because our bodies “vibrations” keep us from getting infected by it. I’m guessing this is part of that new age language that has seeped into this

I’ll have no more of your Vassar bashing young lady!

I would probably have Lisa down for a full ride scholarship to the college of her choice.

Over the last 30 years the TX state house has only produce two types of legislation:

I’m going to go ahead and start the rumor that the washboard player from the Lumineers is also down with the Proud Boys so we can toss them in the trash too.

. . . and young Davy Jones was pretty dreamy.
