Is this really a spoiler type show though? I’ll grant that having Evan Peters show up was about as close to a surprise as you’re gonna get with MCU anymore, but at some point in either this episode or the next one they’re gonna do a big villain reveal, and it’s glaringly obvious that Kathryn Hahn is the villain. You…

Wanda is Kaiser Soze

Wanda’s sled is named Rosebud.

Well, sure - if one can’t discern the difference between “stage” the noun and “stage” the verb. Or, indeed, a noun and a verb. Otherwise, it’s a facile and fatuously presented disingenuous “logic”.

Her first song - the one my station is playing - sounded like it was being played through a pillow. No life.

Manufactured smashing done with misguided irony is super lame. Especially with the fake pyro added in.

remember when prince threw his guitar up in the air and it never came down? spontaneous AND defying laws of nature.

Yeah but sometimes it really just is a bad performance. I was rooting for Lana Del Rey but she didn’t do a very good job on SNL. It wasn’t just tired old fogeys saying that either. It was all over the music sites at the time.

Yeah it’s like I don’t even really care all that much by the guitar smashing in general. I’m just alienated by the amount of attention that’s lavished on her. I just really really don’t understand the appeal of her and the fact that music reviewers who supposedly have taste gush about her.

Danelectros aren’t exactly perfectly good. They’re made out of like dry wall and unless you got Jimmy Page’s guitar tech, they don’t sound or feel all that great.

David Crosby was in a group that argued about, among other things, the size, shape, colour and texture of the Persian carpet that had to be set upon their stage ere their holy feet would tread on it.

As I’m reading about this it’s becoming clearer that the only reason people find guitar-smashing less corny than, say, giant inflatable mascots, laser lights, or spandex pants with lightning bolts on them is that nobody ever came out and said, “the guitar smash was a planned stunt, which is why we had a tech with a…

I kinda hate all sides in this one

Nothing says primal and destructive than politely asking permission to be primal and destructive.

In fairness Bon Iver is objectively bad

I had the opposite reaction and thought I’d hate to be that kind of person, but then I realized how passionately and irrationally I hate James Corden and Jimmy Fallon, then “Man In The Mirror” might as well have started playing.

I really do get that complaint, so I agree. I think it would have come off better as performance if she made it even cheesier than just using the sparks. She could have gone bigger, but she nevertheless put on a show that people are talking about.  David Crosby probably wouldn’t have been impressed no matter what she…

Yeah getting upset about something as played out as a guitar smashing is pretty wack, but it’s not nearly as wack as staging a fake guitar smashing with the guitar company’s blessing.

It was a perfectly fine performance, but smashing a guitar was trite 40 years ago. And giving the guitar company a heads up beforehand, and having a special fake monitor made to spark and smoke for maximum effect kind of misses the point of “spontaneous act of anarchy.” Still, for ANYONE to have a strong opinion about…

That does explain the nomination of premium jerk-off James Corden.

While Golden Globe winners still frequently overlap with Oscar winners, the nominations seem to be getting farther apart in recent years. Same with the Emmys.
