Death Grips

and yet a stray pube wiggles free

in honor of Death Grips I'm gon be writing album titles on my penis all day

gonna start with The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do, holla

I doubt anyone will be able to read such teensy writing though.

prose on my dick

^^^

I'll 1up whiney though and go with Fiona's second album title.

When the dong hits the conflicts he thinks like a dink

(I'm esp. liking "Hunger Games" so far; FWIW, James Blake ends up being in agreement w/ me)

i swear i made the "dick so big you can write a fiona apple album title on it" joke while i was out and about today
great minds, etc
firing this up right now; the "now playing" picture window definitely makes this a NSFW album

damn, i love dude screaming himself hoarse on "come up and get me"

(fiona joke closely followed by "inscribed on a grain of rice" bit)

yay WORLD OF DOGS

take out ya penis ya penis get taken out

goddamn, NO LOVE

I support death grips, and I support this. it's like aural graffiti, where the guggenheim was all set to display your art "sometime next year", and then you just plaster it all over their wall

They would have a song called "Stockton"

you need to learn about the meaning of the BEAT DOWN
madness, chaos in the brain
let my blood flow, make my blood flow through you mang
you got no business questioning a thang...

i could give a fuck who's legally in the right on this; just glad the album is in the wild

the whole manufactured controversy over this leaking is whatever

album is pretty good though. no love and world of dogs are highlights. that last song is great too

THAT ALBUM COVER

makes sense to me:

the best way to maintain ownership of your music is to not sell it to a major label in the first place.

andrew ‏@noz
especially if you happen to make wholly inaccessible and unmarketable noise rap.

he's got a point.

i've always thought the signing was ridiculous, but getting all sourpuss scornful that an 'inaccessible noise rap' band think they are too cool to act professionally just shows up a weird set of priorities/values

not feeling this as much as Money Store. Plus I think a punk band signing to a major label and then bitching about it is retarded.

not really... it's a pretty sensible statement xp

i guess you find more comfort in the world-weary dad tone than i do

not really, but i don't see what's wrong in pointing out the reality of death grips situation

i don't see anything wrong with trying to fuck with a major label by tricking them into signing your unmarketable noise-rap but don't get all pissy when they don't want to release two albums of it in one year ffs unless this was all some extended performance art thing in which case good show boys

^^^ otm

In fact I think tricking a major label into signing yr unmarketable noise-rap is pretty great and this new album is pretty great so I'm fine with everything that has happened.

except that is no more 'the reality' than label signs a band it doesn't know how to market or handle... we don't even know what happened w/ the site yet. as it stands it's a dick joke & some vitriol, chiding the band "oh if only they'd handled their industry responsibilities more sensibly they cld be on the property ladder now" comes off all hegemonic conservative

but yes i haven't got a problem w/ how this has unfolded - everyone's playing their part properly; i love boners; some good track titles - it's a good time

chiding the band "oh if only they'd handled their industry responsibilities more sensibly they cld be on the property ladder now" comes off all hegemonic conservative

yeah i don't think that's what he was saying at all

please stop typing noise rap

it's funny because they already canceled a tour to make this fabled TWO ALBUMS IN A YEAR thing happen and it seemed like fans were more pissed about no shows than they were excited about more studio recordings (which made me assume the label were gung ho about the 2nd album coming ASAP). so it's like, build a following and get signed just to rush an album than neither the fans nor the label were chomping at the bit for, in ways that actively annoy both.

chiding the band "oh if only they'd handled their industry responsibilities more sensibly they cld be on the property ladder now" comes off all hegemonic conservative

??

i think the point is don't sign to a major to begin with! it's never been easier to not sign with a major label!

they should have just signed to Load or something that made sense then it would have been a boner city extravaganza

reading this totally in-keeping bit of snottiness as naive/poorly judged completely ignores the image/myth the band have built up, and i can believe they did this in part to reassert their control over that after the cancellation fiasco

they'd have been better on an indie, but i'm perfectly happy for them to burn their bridges like this given where they are, who cares?

who said they are naive? i think they know what they are doing they are just being full of shit about it. obv they are smart dudes.

also although i like this i think they have been slowly getting less fun since ex-military so i'd like to see them take a hard left turn

I'm still not clear why Epic even signed them (I mean I assume DG got an advance so I see what they get out of it.).
