Right I'm just trying to figure out what you mean by tuning? I don't think she's using an alternative tuning system. Her music may be quartal (as opposed to triadic) but that's based on intervals, not tuning systems. Not trying to be a dick or nitpicky just curious of what you mean!

You're tipping your hand of being ignorant music by even comparing Beck to a joke band like Mumford & Sons.

It's almost like rational discourse is completely meaningless!

FWIW I hear plenty of people criticizing T Swift's feminism, particularly on Jezebel. Can't say the same for Tina Fey but I don't know off the top of my head of anything offensive she's done. I haven't liked anything beyonce has done since B-Day. I thought "Beyonce" was boring and insipid - I couldn't get through the…

PREACH.

I guess I thought "Beyonce" was like, the safest and most boring shit I've ever heard. I thought there were better albums released this year than what were nominated (FKA Twigs chief among them). But "Morning Phase" is, in my opinion, a really lovely album and was the best of what's nominated. It's nuanced. And I…

To be fair, I don't think you really "try to get one." You get nominated, and maybe you win. Although he does have a much more active PR presence now, probably a symptom of his contract with his label.

So Beck plays multiple instruments, recorded himself playing those instruments in his home recording studio, on songs that he singlehandedly wrote, yet his artistry is diminished by Beyoncé, who waltzes into a studio to belt (off-key) whatever a team of songwriters and producers prepared for her? K.

There is no way Beyonce's album is quantifiably better than Beck's.

Beck is absolutely more of an artist than beyonce.

What do you mean by "jazz tuning?"

You are correct.

Can you explain how Beck winning was a "dopey" choice?

Plenty of people in the US have plenty of totally valid reasons for choosing to eat meat, just as I'm sure you have valid reasons for not eating it. Someone above said they are allergic to soy and nuts, and therefore rely on animal protein. You say there's "absolutely no good reason to eat meat," when it's just simply…

To be fair, "cute-etarian" is a very adorable term. You do you, girl.

I don't think it's inherently classist, but I do think that some vegans/vegetarians can judge meat eaters in a classist way. I live in Oakland and there are pockets in the city that are pretty severe food deserts, coupled with a lot of low income folks, and I know they're not taking the bus for 3 hours to get kale…

Wait aren't you literally guilting meat eaters right now tho?

This made me laugh so fucking much.
