amanda palmer's open poem to jonathan chait (and other crimes)

more like aman-duh lamer.

never heard stone sour or stonefly, but slipknot make way better music than amanda palmer

I think you mean "Stoneknot"

this basically IS amanda palmer's style, but still better

a "perfectly put" horrifying mixed metaphor, yes.

keep in mind she sahred her nood boobs

can't stop showing boobs at the scene of a train wreck

if she shows boob it = 38 hitpoints to a man's anger at her

I don't get it, are you drawing the flowers in the margins of, like, a picture of a train wreck? That you also drew? Or a photo of a train wreck in the newspaper? Or are you literally standing a few feet from an actual wrecked train, drawing flowers? If so -- drawing them on the wreckage itself, or do you have some kind of easel setup?

see, we're already talking about it, so it must be good.

kicking yr ass on behalf of Gina Gershon, Shakey

I think you mean "Stoneknot"

convulsive lols; idk

I don't love a ukelele or "the theater!" but that video is otm.

I completely agree with the sentiment of that video but my god was that annoying to sit through

"Aluminium" was the second worst part. The worst part was having the melody in my head all night

are you literally standing a few feet from an actual wrecked train, drawing flowers?

This was my interpretation, doesn't sound like a particularly helpful response to a rail accident tbh.

art is always a valid response

"Paint me a life preserver!"

maybe the train wreck is her, and she's drawing flowers in the margins of herself

so poetic

she is the train wreck

so lucky she wasn't a first responder at the marathon

"stop drawing those flowers"
"i ... i DON'T KNOW HOW!"

so lucky she wasn't a first responder at the marathon

First poetry responder.

whats up w nabisco how come he doesnt really write for ny magazine anymore, anyway i dont think his exciting new insight in this case really hits home or is that otm

people hate drama kids is def more compelling than insights into internet marketing

most of it's a sympathetic sum-up but the bit i find odd is where artists shouldn't forget that haters are going to go their sites as well

This is a way of using technology to reach out to and engage interested fans, yes, but it’s also indistinguishable from the intrusive begging of any corporation — say, if I went to the Hardees website to marvel at the number of calories in their food and was greeted with requests to sign up for a customer loyalty program.

I mean, who's the intruder here?

I was innocently visiting Amanda Palmer's website when I was bombarded by Amanda Palmer related material

xposts

nah the latter is one reason i care -- as a model for the future of music its pretty horrifying and bleak.

vulture is ny mag btw? or did you mean ny mag "proper"?

he has 2 pieces in the last ~4 months

http://nymag.com/author/nitsuh%20abebe/

one thing i like about the piece is how it notes considering any of this as a "future model for new music" ignores how not-new it is. Artists have always been able to make extra scratch engaging in shameless cult-of-personality shit, it's just there's a new platform to do it on.

i mean, beatles toilet paper was a horrifying model for new music too

It’s damnably difficult to carve a private audience out of the open web...

Is that a bad thing? The possibility of friction can help keep you honest.

I wish Rod Stewart could have done a TEDTalk in 1980 about the exciting breakthrough in audience engagement via prancing in video clips

nabisco needs to visit the new schtick thread

but it’s also indistinguishable from the intrusive begging of any corporation

Not true, corporations tends to be more tasteful in their exploitative behaviors. For instance I haven't seen a corporation directly compare itself to suicide victims.

Funny you should say that: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/04/25/hyundai-suicide-ad-commercial/2113461/

it's a decent piece. nothing new, but well written and fair minded.

whats up w nabisco how come he doesnt really write for ny magazine anymore

Jody Rosen is their new music critic -- though I believe Nabs will still be contributing.

The big difference is that Hyundai actually issued an apology after being criticized.

If they did things AFP's way then the next ad would be all about how victimized they are by the criticism from the last ad, some self-serving "We started a conversation" stuff, a "Donate to Hyundai (Donate = <3)", and a link to a website where Hyundai owners can post their own stories, which will provide content for the next next ad.
