you have to wonder….was that really the best analogy? nothing else would have sufficed? no one else twists tropes into a singular vision?

is this that fucking song where the guy warbles about "the screen?" jesus, dude, it's not 1935. be real

this is great - but does carrie do the harmonies in the chorus? i assumed it was corin…

how you write this article w/o mentioning the whole blurred lines blowup is beyond me: check out pharrell's insane deposition to see how hard it is to quantify creativity
