"I wish to register my disdain at the disgust and outrage which has greeted this, er, admittedly disgusting and outrageous film"

well, you know the nintendo generation... offended by everything.

fucking mario

yeah, its pretty dumb to make a point about overreactions to art that's perceived as offensive in reaction to something that...looks like it might be genuinely offensive (i haven't seen it, probably won't, i think my assumption can be safely made)

sorta like fuckin patton oswalt yesterday!

i remember when the super nintendo came out it wasn't launched in the uk (and europe?) till about a year after it was out in the US and Japan, so some game heads would buy ones imported from Japan- the Japanese version was called the 'Super Famicom'. How 'bout that.

I remember when this thread was about shitty music writing.

nintendon't kill my vibe

i remember i was conflicted, misusing my threadfluence

Terrible articles

That protest thing is hilarious

feat. bonus ilxor diss

that one is pretty bad all right! i don't think i've ever pictured stoned hipsters reading pitchfork. more like earnest high school kids.

lol @ "yoga columnist, admirer of trees" in his bio

who are these people who still think statements like that are big truth to power moments? aside from the otts and auks and austerlitzes, of course.

"Mark has been described a few ways -- as a Lenny Bruce character, or as a Generation X Hunter S. Thompson, or as a liberal redneck," Kershner said. "He has a following, but he's always close to the edge."

everyone gets older faster these days

got an couple hours?

All of those descriptions of Morford are too flattering, even liberal redneck.

Is it still 2004 in San Francisco?

fixie bike jokes is some real trenchant social commentary in 2015

what about microbrew zings tho

Nice to see he takes time out of his schedule of yoga therapy and admiring trees to engage in pointless culture-bashing rants. Nothing more enlightened than jokes about PBR.

aside from the otts and auks and austerlitzes

this one is actually the worst

pretty sure it's lifted from a Frank Barone column written for Everybody Loves Raymond, though

just about every sentence of that is completely moronic

“Bro! Did you read our Carly Rae bit? Can you believe us? We are so meta! I bet no one saw that coming. How hipster can you get, but to like the least hipster act there is in this modern world right now? Someone punch me in the face!

“Next up, we praise a Kardashian. Shut up! Who wants a PBR?”

yeah boy do they ever have the writer of that carly rae jepsen piece pegged, such an indie loving hipster

reading this actually hurt me; I am a broken man

article nails that "sponsored content" feel

totally unaware of Hozier up to now. reads like Russell Brand's Infant Sorrow lead singer character

"He's a naturalist. He plucks the guitar strings with his fingers."

get the fuck outta here

picks are so artifical

"Most of the songs are meaty, desperate, and honest about the world we live in."
Hozier 2015: Meaty, Desperate and Honest About the World We Live In

"He's a naturalist. He plucks the guitar strings with his fingers, while naked."

"He refuses to brush his fluffy mane of brown hair, writes his songs based off a feeling, and doesn't let a piece of plastic come between him and his chords"

His guitar tech has to put his capo on for him.

Where other artists hire songwriters to build out their hits for them, Hozier wrote his in an attic.

"Hozier's set is lit with electronic candles"

you'd think he'd go with real candles

"He's a naturalist. He plucks the guitar strings with his fingers, while naked."

can't tell if people are deliberately confusing naturalist with naturist itt

not that either has anything to do with guitar playing

#standup4nudists

Hozier fan 'completes' "perfect interview". Is that possible for you?

there are no guitar picks taped to the tall mic stand in front of him. He refuses to brush his fluffy mane of brown hair, writes his songs based off a feeling, and doesn't let a piece of plastic come between him and his chords.

this really is one of the dumbest things I've ever read

he should just stretch his own fingers over a fretboard and resonator and play them

MEATY 'n' DESPERATE

hoping that guitar pick thing is just a reductio ad absurdum parody of the discourse of authenticity

bet u could get some cool sounds flicking the free end of a sounding rod

he should save that for the tour bus
