I like Snail Mail well enough and need to check out the new record, but she’s been ALL over Instagram (although this could be algorithms giving me what I’m likely to buy).

Ariana Grande doesn’t have a sneer exactly, but she definitely looks like she thinks she’s better than you. More like one of the mean popular girls.

Birch is so damn good it’s a crime she didn’t have a better career and, sadly, much of the blame falls on her father slash manager who apparently is a gigantic fucking creep and did massive, nearly irreparable damage to her career and reputation. 

I knew you were going to correct that. I must be a physic.

Nothing by Alice Cooper? Welcome to My Nightmare, Black Widow, I love the Dead, etc.

Let’s be honest: from the business perspective, until this gets ugly enough to impact profits that special is staying up.

Comedians like Chappelle are often drawn to what they’re told they can’t say. It’s what can make them great and awful at the same time. So this isn’t surprising at all.

I think he’s gotten measurably worse every time out, and Purity was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever read. You can have an unlikeable protragonist but for god’s sake she better at least be interesting. I don’t care how good Erin claims this one is, I’m not biting again.

Yes G/O Media, I am definitely going to click through 22 slides in order to read “we don’t know who is coming back to SNL next season.”

Ok, here we go...

This is a fucking fantastic record. It’s been widely available for decades, either on vinyl or CD. It’s not some kind of buried treasure just because it wasn’t on Spotify.

No, not everyone that likes this record is a weird, threatening nerd. It is also possible to like and respect this record rather…

The only thing that pairs well with MMM is a dial-up modem.

Yeah, but Lick My Decals Off, Baby is already streaming.

Man, Roger Waters was trending on Twitter this morning, and I was really worried he went the way of Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, but it turns out he was trending for telling Mark Zuckerberg to go fuck himself after being asked to use “Another Brick in the Wall” for a Facebook commercial. So now I’m listening to Pink…

I’m one of those people that thinks Inland empire is pretty comprehensible. You just cling onto the Laura Dern character and every other wonderfully bizarre thing gravitated around that. Her arc is pretty clear. A struggling actor who dives too deep into a role and accidentally dives into a supernatural nightmare…
