I never pay attention to this kind of shit, does anybody know the correlation between billboard and itunes charts? goblin's still floating around in the itunes top 10. between that, my anecdotal record shop visits, and the number of ilxors running out and buying, I'm guessing this thing is moving some units. enough to chart top 10?
― the first rule of debate club (Edward III), Friday, 13 May 2011 16:37 (fifteen years ago)
okay so it looks like it's going to chart...

Fox news sez, "When we tried to talk to members of the group, they heckled us from their tour bus."

Odd Future is on a fast rise to fame after being lifted from Internet obscurity, partly in thanks to Kanye West

appreciate the inside baseball but i think people are just talking about the fact that they're touring in a bus and don't care who actually owns the title to the vehicle
― some dude, Friday, 13 May 2011 21:13 (fifteen years ago)
well to keep up on the inside shit, a bus makes much better economic sense if you're going to be on the road with a crew of of people for longer than a few weeks. buses have beds in them, so a traveling ensemble only needs 1 or maybe 2 rooms to shower in per day (fewer, if the venues they're playing have showers), whereas a van means multiple hotel rooms. touring in a bus kinda doesn't mean you're riotously successful, it just means you can sell out enough 500-seat venues to stay out on the road for a month.

It is not without great hesitation and hand wringing that I enter into the discourse about Tyler, the media who glorifies and excuses misogyny and homophobia, and the community of artists that doesn’t seem remotely bothered by it. I can only hope that someone reading this might be inspired to speak out. At the very least, I will know that my voice is on record.

*While listening to the NPR debate*
Does the woman who is ant-Odd Future realize that the music isn't the source but how black kids are raised is the source? I really hate when black people say aritsts need to be responsible while not touching on the sexism, homophobia, and self-racism of the black community itself (and the USA as a whole). I'm kinda glad that Odd Future exist as it kind of exposes that part of the black community in an ugly way.
But I do agree that Odd Future are being seen as a freak show to hipsters to a certain extent (I forgot all about the calamity which was the Kill Whitey parties).

weird - i don't see them as all that freak show at all - isn't their novelty and appeal for kids that they're goofy depresso adult swim internet nerd skateboard gross-out horny misogynist offensive class clowns - which is way more plain old teenage boy than anything... really they seem more like an updated post-internet "license to ill" thing than anything
they seem less "freak show" or exotic or whatever than wu-tang or something - wu-tang was way more on some weird fantasy superhero shit than these doofuses
but maybe i'm way off i just heard a little bit here and there

nah I think that's OTM
― american thinker (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 13 May 2011 22:34 (fifteen years ago)
altho in general I agree with deej that they are not really all that awesome/remarkable - the music's pretty hit or miss. there's some undeniably good rapping and the occasional great hook/beat but seems like there's a lot of crap to wade through. quantity over quality in the internet age, no surprise...
― american thinker (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 13 May 2011 22:35 (fifteen years ago)
I do find them fun in a "lol teenagers" way
