I know little about Snrub except that he's got access to LeBron's inner circle.

snrub's one of those types who's easy to find online but isn't the sort you'd expect to hang around ILX for a decade.

Though maybe I'm shortchanging snrub, I also would have pegged him as a Ke$ha stan.

Wouldn't
Xxxpost, Katherine I've never been sure if snrub was a long running bit by a regular using an alt acct

Of course lyrics are important. But the review made it seem like lyrics were the only bad thing about the album.
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 12 March 2017 09:17 (seven years ago) link
lyrics are important most so far as they contain syllables with song-condusive vocal sounds

I haven't actually read the Karma Police article. I just thought the title was funny, as if Pitchfork is angrily punishing us with an oral history of Radiohead's Karma Police video.

Thom Yorke: I came up with the title of the album on the spot. It’s the moment when you give a computer a guitar and say, “Okay, computer…let’s see what you got! Show us your stuff!”

Their factually inaccurate Adult. blurb bugged me:
"On their first album in six years, the married electro duo curate a highly collaborative record that is richer and stranger than anything they've done before. It's unusually electrifying."

Who died, and who did the killing?That’s the central mystery of “Big Little Lies,” HBO’s limited series based on Liane Moriarty’s novel of the same name. But like the book, the show does not bask in that single question. It asks so, so many. Like, why does Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) drive a Buick?http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1471-how-does-the-first-grader-on-big-little-lies-have-such-killer-music-taste/?mbid=homepage-more-latest-and-video

Chloe’s taste in music is not a minor aspect of her character—it defines her. We’re supposed to recognize that early on in the show, when she says to classmate Ziggy (Iain Armitage), “When I grow up, I want to run a massive label.” This girl is a mogul in the making. She’s not thinking of limited runs of hissing cassettes—she’s dreaming of Grammys. Hell, she’s wearing Apple earbuds around her neck in numerous scenes, including the opening credits.
hell, she's wearing EARBUDS. she likes music so much she is WEARING EARBUDS!!!!

i tried to read it but got bugged early on by the author's claim that the video starts "in media res". it starts with a frigging still shot of the (motionless) car's (empty) back seat.
