Thicke's blasé, same as it ever was assertion that "I know you want it" and "we're gonna get nasty" is a reminder that the same words are a hell of a lot more compelling when they're coming from a girl's mouth.

Released in 1993, Exile in Guyville is one of the best alt-rock records of the nineties (in our opinion), with a musical and, maybe more importantly, attitudinal influence apparent across lots of contemporary artists who’ve arguably eclipsed Phair in terms of popularity (Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, for example).

she spends time in the Amanda Palmer blurb talking about how Steve Albini attacked Liz Phair for being a chore to listen to, using it as an example of the male hegemony closing its borders to a female voice, then turns around in the M.I.A. blurb and says that Liz Phair's music career was an afterthought, much like that of the one person of color on her list
also let's talk about Lana Del Rey's smash hit "Summertime Sadness" that I've never heard once in my life
the "why this album is better than Exile On Main St." would have been so much better
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:16 (ten years ago) link
The word "attitudinal" always makes me think of Patrick Swayze's pedophile self help guru in Donnie Darko.

This being the 21st century, Dunham takes Phair's shock tactics one step further by not just talking about sex, but by doing it on camera.

Effugere 48 minutes agoLOL maybe you can't read. But he was praising her original work and calling the changed version gardbage. Lana's music should not be altered because her original works are the efforts of her talent. So, before you start calling people hypocrites, learn to read. The remix is garbage because the original is Lana. Got it?

There are some choice sentences in there
Imagine if there was a Channel Four juxtaposition of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and The Only Way Is Essex, only instead of being a TV show it was a music festival. Well, V Festival would basically be the Channel Five version of that.
― cardamon, Monday, 19 August 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link
Personally I blame the highstreet for making rock ‘n’ roll imagery so readily available that anyone with pocket money can wear the right threads with a faux swagger and pretend to like music. Encouraged by the over televised nature of the modern festival to then top off their look with a fashionable visit to a music festival. Because that’s basically what V festival is, a confused fashion parade for pricks. A music festival for people that don’t actually like music but still want to say that they’ve been to a music festival.

^ I think that's an interesting article in a way because, like, guy seems angry that people are getting drunk, rowdy and expressive, making sexual displays (this is what 'they're too fashionable' means?). He thinks they ought to be well-mannered and behave according to some standard of decorum. That for him is the essence of the authentic (non-'high street') music festival.
I think he's probably more invested than he thinks in a reified, tasteful festival culture

that particular part was even worse though
The band's 90-minute set featured hard rock anthems, songs with techno influences as well as groovy and eerie jams. NIN closed the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt," which earned nonstop cheers from the crowd. Reznor was soft as he sang the song's verses — making it the set's highlight. "Yeah, Trent!" one burly voice screamed, and that was one of many.
