this is almost not recognizable as being the same person who was so terrible on SNL; the "she was terrified" argument seems to be looking better and better

if she sucks a dick with the enthusiasm she sings it probably takes her hours to get a dude off jesus

Why the fuck does everyone in the press need to have a god damn opinion about this chick? I dont get how whiney finds at acceptable top treat the eight rappers he heard about from me first like totally marginal unknowns but when this chick says she likes the fucking waffle zombie rapper meme it becomes a huge music writer event. Why is this crap bleeding into hip hop press? Jesus

I think there's some truth to Lex's argument (which I'm very loosely paraphrasing but I think he'd agree with the following) that probably the biggest upshot of the indie rock press broadening its focus beyond indie rock is that non-indie-rock music circles now feel more pressure to impress the indie rock press, its readers etc.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 07:01 (twelve years ago) link
It's easy to impress the indie rock press. Just show them a two-bedroom apartment.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 07:03 (twelve years ago) link
another upshot of indie press focus broadening is that a much broader range of music is now liable to be associated with indie culture and wrestled with in that patented love/loathe kneejerk fashion. corollary to the emergence of ostensibly non-indie music that in one way or another is seemingly targeted at or reflective of indie sensibilities.

which i guess just restates lex via tim F
― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 07:24 (twelve years ago) link
did i make that argument? i don't remember it but i agree! maybe tim is just stating it in a more coherent way as ever.
i do remember rev alluding on some thread to indie rock as aspirational for african americans, which i'd like him to expand on.
deej your annoyance here is ridiculous considering that recently you were telling me that all critics have a duty to follow the ~conversation~ and ~hyped acts~
as bloghyped acts go i think LDR is pretty interesting tbh, so i'm just gonna enjoy one of the rare times the ~conversation~ doesn't annoy me.

"deej your annoyance here is ridiculous considering that recently you were telling me that all critics have a duty to follow the ~conversation~ and ~hyped acts~"
i've never said this u doofus, i've said you should be aware of the general framing of the discussion & how it relates to lots of other things, like relative popularity & what kinds of things people respond to in the music & etc.
― I Love Pedantry (D-40), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:25 (twelve years ago) link
you thinking Drake is a 'hyped act' instead of an 'insanely popular act' is pure confusion
― I Love Pedantry (D-40), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:26 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think they'd really be the same points anyway - rap critics and fans caring about what Lana Del Rey thinks is like politicians thinking they have to have an opinion on celebrity news.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:28 (twelve years ago) link
only if they specifically exclude non-rap from their remit though? is that an effect of single-genre critics rubbing along closer to generalist critics?
― irina-camelia begu (lex pretend), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:37 (twelve years ago) link
Well I mean caring about what Lana Del Rey thinks about rap.
But yes probably a lot of this is a result of the fact that all the circles of conversation are closer to one another now.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:40 (twelve years ago) link
oh i thought this was just rap critics opining on LDR in general. has anyone been talking about what she thinks about rap?! i haven't seen it. i've no idea what she thinks about rap. (i'm not asking either.)

what the fuck is the waffle zombie rapper meme
i'm not asking there, either
― irina-camelia begu (lex pretend), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:56 (twelve years ago) link
i suspect that the problem with people talking about...that thing is not LDR specifically
I suspect the venn diagram of writers who give a shit about either is basically a circle through hangover-eyes.

Why is this crap bleeding into hip hop press?
The Billboard profile linked upthread notes that she's worked with hip-hop producers.
Also, you know, she's good for traffic, especially at sites that need to wring the tiniest drop of "news" out of anything crossing their transom in order to keep the post quotient high.
