i think the fact that everyone rolled over w/r/t Converse Rubber Tracks/Mountain Dew Green Label/The oral history of 285 Kent producing events for our million-dollar website presented by TopShop means that no one cares anymore, dogg

people clearly care! i lol'd and got a bunch of "what's the big deal, give 'em a break" static

"I posted something and everyone shrugged it off" = "no one cares"

"shrugging off" = "thread ignores the churlish clown" not "thread acts like someone's making an unfair stink"

i mean this

It's almost like advertisers have no fucking idea what they're doing, and websites are totally at their mercy because no one else is giving them money

is not shrugging off

no, it really is

wow you got a funny way of being indifferent

THIS NOTES FAAAH YOUUUU

yes, i'm amused by the parallels to the 80s, whiney

part of why i think it's funny anyone's being "look it's hard times, man" about a music mag teaming up with a liquor company to put on concerts

i mean what else was mtv to do

just in case anyone thinks i'm still saying alcohol is the anti-rock devil or something, i loved those "stoli tells you what's hot on cargo/headhunter" columns in the back of spin. stoli had good taste

i'm listening to the new skrillex album

feel so young right now

my skin is glowing

who knew crystal method was gonna have the most enduring influence of the 90s "electronica" movement?

The Crystal Method obviously on the right side of history.

me too

wait I thought the stupidity of this had nothing to do w/ Jim Beam and everything to do w/ like "it's.... late at night! Cool!"

well yeah, you were laughing about that, i was also chuckling about pitchfork entering the long history of hip-rockmag-and-booze-company-unite-to-celebrate-music-at-night

but the point is that no one was earnestly/unfairly crying "sell-out" or anything

NIGHT CAP........WITH JIM BEAM.........LATE NIGHT CONCERTS..........STARTING AT, WAIT FOR IT........10PM!!!!!!

why didn't Bruce Willis record an album w/the Fabulous Thunderbirds

The Rentals
Lost in Alphaville
By Stuart Berman

The Rentals started as a side project for onetime Weezer bassist/songwriter Matt Sharp, who many think is responsible for the enduring greatness of that band's first two albums. His first proper Rentals album in 15 years, which features Black Keys’ Patrick Carney on drums, is a welcome thrown-bone for those who were drawn to Weezer for their winsome underdog charm.

a welcome thrown-bone??

a welcome-thrown bone

Like having sex on a toilet

I'd rather fuck on an actual throne.

Welcome the Throne

winsome underdog charm

winsome underdogs love to chew on welcome thrown-bones

final two lines of a review, too:

Still, Imagine Your Self in a Free and Natural World showcases a writing approach that models itself more like abstract poetry than conventional verses, combining jazz with rap in a way that hasn’t been as exciting since the acid-jazz wave in the early '90s. The combo hasn't been as forceful as it is here, too.

man, just hire some more editorial staff

use some of that late night whiskey money

I'd actually rather read grammatically challenged, freshman-comp level writing like that than needlessly vicious takedowns of low-hanging fruit like Gaslight Anthem (see: lan C0hen's review today). I don't give a shit about Gaslight Anthem one way or another, but they seem relatively harmless and hardly deserving of such cruelty from a guy who probably writes Promise Ring fanfic

you haven't read any freshman compositions lately have you : /

The Rentals review also refers to "Dirty Projections-style vocal acrobatics." There is no band called Dirty Projections.
