Hey, man, get with the times. It's hip to be antisemitic again. It's what the cool kids are doing.
Calling people on their antisemitism? now THAT is strictly squaresville.

Would being accused of sexual assault really hurt one's career though?

(because I have better things to be doing)
I concur with the modest mouse and belle and sebastian posts above.
I love bon iver's debut but everything else they've done I hate.
I love chance the rappers "Acid Rap" but couldn't hang with coloring book. Hopefully I'm wrong?
Run the Jewel's latest is probably the last album…

I'm willing to bet (knowing very little about the sex industry) that the majority of clients for prostitutes are rich and powerful men because they have the money and are used to using money to get whatever they want. I'm also willing to bet that hiring a prostitute in Russia is equivalent to hiring a prostitute in…

The clumsy historical detail is terrible, but the soundtrack is what killed this for me. Every five seconds there is another sixties rock song, and/or people talking about sixties rock acts. I get that the music of the time was important, but it was so on the nose that it detracted from the experience. Also, guess…

Not so much.

There doesn't need to be a conflict. Evangelicals are creating a conflict where none exists, and choosing to waste time and energy trying to deny basic facts instead of adapting their faith to current scientific knowledge. I'm not religious, but I was raised catholic and I respect peoples faith, and this false binary…

To be fair to the great orange one, I'm sure many famous non-actors doing cameos in film and TV are both terrible actors and prima donnas.

There does not need to be a conflict between Christianity and evolution. Evolution isn't anti-religion or anti-christian. It means taking a less literal interpretation of certain passages of the Bible, but there is nothing in the teachings of Christ that doesn't jibe with believing in science and evolution. You can…

I didn't realize that they got charged more for more comments. That's crazy, since an article with 1744 comments is basically 1700 back and forth "libtard!" "republithug!". NPR's comments got unmanageable a few years ago - it's basically a handful of breitbart readers barfing fox/breitbart talking points, and a…

i think there is a difference between lyrics that spout politics that support the oppressors vs. the oppressed. And lyrics that support vague concepts and ones that are connected to actual troubling geopolitics. I also think there are few bands who convincingly pull off overtly political lyrics, and RATM weren't one…

Also, tyranny to me is law enforement ignoring the 14th amendment in the drug war. It's guantamo. It's state sanctioned torture. It's an unelected private individual, grover norquist, cowing the entire republican party into not using taxation as a way to raise revenue. It is not judges saying that we should treat our…

"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Half of these are my favorite Beatles song. So you are wrong. And you didn't mention Revolution #9, or Dig A Pony, or any of there other bullshit throwaway songs. I'm revoking your Beatles Expert License.

Ever since my days playing Nintendo, I've always turned the sound off and listened to music. I associate the Clash's "London Calling" with Super Mario Bros 3 to this day for that reason. Sometimes I'll listen to podcasts when I'm playing a game. One of the bummers to me about the newest generation of games systems is…

I don’t consider myself transphobic and I have trans friends. I will call you by your preferred gender pronoun all day long. I’ll let you use whatever bathroom or dressing room you want. Put whatever you want on your drivers license. Change your birth certificate. Pass laws so that your death certificate can be…

There's also the fact that without social media and the need for clicks, this would have been LJG saying, "Huh, I wish they had cast a trans actor instead of a famous male actor to play the trans person." Thanks to the magic of twitter, it becomes a much bigger deal. It's possible that even in laura's mind, this was a…

Their essentials would be a collection of their singles, the who sell out, tommy, and a quick one. I'm a huge who fan and I've never even owned quadrophenia or who's next. Their earlier stuff was less cock rock, less bloated, and more punk.

fIREHOSE are great. And one of the realest and homeliest bands out there. I saw them play in 1991, and I was like, who are these truckers hanging out at the show? And then they got on stage and I realized it was the band. And THAT is why mike watt is my hero.
