I've stood by Tolkien's grave. And did he have the courtesy to rise from the dead, no.

No, see, that's the wrong moment from the film when the actual return is earlier and it's not quite like in the book and...

...and that's what Peter Jackson and by extension you got wrong. Hello? You there?

Timberlake & Jay-Z's joint show in London last night was pretty spectacular. The only lull came during Pusher Love (end already!) and the very boring Take Back the Night. But hearing him sing the hooks on Heart of the City and I Just Wanna Love U, or drop a verse of I Want You Back over Izzo, was damn fine.

I've seen Jay-Z be so-so, but I've seen JT three times, and he was great each time. Screw seeing it in a football stadium here, though.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 July 2013 12:15 (ten years ago) link
Jay-Z/JT are the first concert at the Ravens' stadium since U2 a couple years ago -- my editor called me a few hours before U2 hit the stage and asked me if I wanted to cover the show, so i'm still laboring under the unrealistic hope that that could happen with this show.

Upon the release of my new single ‘Take Back The Night’, I was made aware of an organization of the same name called The Take Back The Night Foundation. I wanted to take this opportunity to let all know that neither my song nor its lyrics have any association with the organization.
As I’ve learned more about The Take Back The Night Foundation, I’m moved by its efforts to stop violence against women, create safe communities and encourage respectful relationships for women — Something we all should rally around. It is my hope that this coincidence will bring more awareness to this cause.

It is my hope that this coincidence will bring more awareness to this cause publicity to a single most will find disappointingly out of style.

How is a song that borrows from the same set of influences as some of other big hits of the year considerred out of style?

lmao @ JT for thinking that this of all things merited seven minutes
damn not an Elvis Costello cover then.

can't second the "jump the shark" claim cuz this is self-parody (esp right after "holy grail") rather than jt completely losing the script, but man this is dumb

p sure it's a single. I don't even think this is unlistenable or anything, I like the beat switch-up at the end, but it totally fails the suspension of disbelief test.
