Funnily enough, I'm dealing with a self-proclaimed leftist who does lots of coke right now, and me and all of his friends can't make him understand why posting Burzum album covers without context might be a reason to get angry at him (he's "doing research for a paper he's writing," which is probably true since he's run a magazine in the past, but still).

John Maus' importance has utterly passed me by, I have zero idea who he is, know no one who listens to his music, etc. Did this guy get indie prominence between the years of 2006 and say, 2018? because I didn't pay attention to shit then.

yes

The name John Maus means John Walker of the Walker Brothers to me. Also I confuse him with John Mayer, as I'm sure I must have mentioned on the Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up! thread.

I guess AP has been an asshole in plain sight for a while now, but one thing that obscured it a little for me was that he kept some pretty good company... like just two examples that occurred to me are Weyes Blood who seems to be a pretty morally together person... and I know he is (or was) pals with another female muso who is impeccably aware & progressive... I guess I figured these people wouldn’t have given him a free pass if he was genuinely as big a jerk as he appears in interviews. But I guess friendships are complex and multifaceted, there are probably some people I know with some murky views that I don’t bail up about it at dinner parties.

Dam-Funk's a pretty positive dude, and also AP collaborator. Same with Nite Jewel. In fact, the three of them seemed to have a little bit of an LA coterie. I've always liked their shared vibes.

trigger warning but maybe read this about the scumbag sexually assaulting a woman in the audience, and go on Twitter and read numerous tweets by women in indie saying we were warning you about this guy before you start talking about "shared vibes"https://www.reddit.com/r/indieheads/comments/76t96k/in_response_to_the_ariel_pink_story_from/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_bodyfor fuck's sake

Megyn Kelly to the rescue! LOL
This guy got cancelled just for going to listen to Trump speak on Wed. He says he didn’t join the protests/riot (& his label isn’t claiming otherwise). Just *attending* the Trump speech was a cancellable offense. https://t.co/Nk6Dm5aEcD— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) January 9, 2021

Megyn Kelly defending Ariel Pink, didn't see that coming.
I wonder if she'll play "Round and Round" on her segment outro or go for a golden oldie like "Trepanated Earth" or "Jules Lost His Jewels"?
― skip, Saturday, 9 January 2021 18:38 (three years ago) link
"Butt House Blondes" would probably find a lot of traction with the Fox viewership.

Those first few records were really good, but unlike some of the other bands of the time, he was ALWAYS an awful performer. I saw him live a few times, and it was always terrible.
Funnily enough, every time I've seen Dam-Funk live, it's been terrible, too, and the last time I saw both of them live it was THE SAME NIGHT in San Francisco, 2008, and I was on a lot of molly.
― Pere Legume (the table is the table), Sunday, 10 January 2021 00:24 (three years ago) link
I know the purist take is the early stuff is best but I was a big fan of his “crossover” run - I guess Before Today, Mature Themes and Pom Pom. Saw him live twice and it was excellent both times. Haven’t been spinning those records much in the last 5 years though, as with Swans I can always think of something I can enjoy more with fewer complications.

I have a personal issue with this man, unrelated to his music--which I maintain is consistently good, great, or brilliant--or political beliefs, and I swear to god just give me a hammer and one hour alone with him. Not a threat. Just a wish

Went off this guy after before today. Not ashamed to say I wanted him to stio fucking around and make some more 'proper' albums but I guess that was not for him

Still love doldrums and worn copy though. If I stopped listening to every person with fucked up politics I wouldn't listen to many artists.
― candyman, Sunday, 10 January 2021 09:20 (three years ago) link
dedicated to bobby jameson was pretty good as a "proper" album except for the part where his gross politics seeped into it more directly than ever which along with his antics getting increasingly bad and/or visible (i wasn't aware of the before today tour assault stories etc. until people brought it up then in response to other shit he did in 2017) was the end of my interest in his music
