Finally announced a 2021 tour. Wish there was another chance to see her in Chicago that didn't involve Pitchfork Fest but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, um. I've seen the story pop up a few different prominent places now, and I don't know what to make of the fact that they all seem to similarly focus on the many salacious details but sort of glide right past the accusation that that producer dude who is suing for defamation is *literally a murderer*, which seems a much more serious and extreme accusation than fraud and theft etc..
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 30 September 2021 13:04 (two years ago) link
tone of reporting around this is weird but i guess they can't outright say the dude suing her is a scumbag

gotta be careful around literally a murder

Yeah, while I can't promise I've read everything about this, it all scans like he's trying to get ahead of some very serious shit coming down on his head. Combined with his suit against Noel Wells, it feels more like damage control.

Um...ngl, but I'm reading that there are no police reports associated with these alleged incidents? Obviously FTP, but it's a little unhinged to assume that this guy murders and bludgeons people based on the hearsay in a former lover's now-deleted Instagram account?

I just found it odd that none of the stories *lead* with the accusation of murder. It's like, "he lies, he cheats, he's a fraud, he murdered someone, he smells bad, he's not nice ..."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 30 September 2021 17:29 (two years ago) link
Because Bridgers didn't accuse him of that? "Phoebe Bridgers sued for linking to the Instagram of Guy's Ex-Girlfriend who accuses him of murder, abuse" is kind of a strange lede.
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Thursday, 30 September 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
Oh, I know. It's just how it's listed in his response to the accusations.
Nelson alleges Bannon “published false, defamatory, and misleading statements about (him) stating, among other things, that (Nelson) is a career criminal, murdered a man, commits racially-motivated hate crimes, abuses women, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, trafficked in stolen or fake goods, committed cybercrimes, and defrauded numerous people.”
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 30 September 2021 17:48 (two years ago) link
Especially possibly racially-motivated murder.
NGL— this might be bad faith and spurious on his part, but I'm also not really buying "was a SoCal Klansman who committed sexual cybercrimes" accusations either.

I've only seen the (weird) Pitchfork story, but I don't know why they would lead with the accusation of murder. As mentioned above, it seems to have been made in a now-deleted Instagram account, and the guy himself raised it in a defamation suit last December. I don't know why that and the other old suit even newsworthy (or even his suit against Bridgers, tbh).
― juristic person (morrisp), Thursday, 30 September 2021 18:55 (two years ago) link
My take on the Pfork piece is they did this dude a weird solid by airing out claims he's been making in various lawsuits. No one knows this guy, who gaf?
― juristic person (morrisp), Thursday, 30 September 2021 18:57 (two years ago) link
yeah, this feels like fallout from a failed effort to extort phoebe bridgers

got tix to see her in June
― Murgatroid, Thursday, 10 March 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link
yeah, great show but she had to stop the show like 5 times for medical emergencies bc people kept on passing out from dehydration (apparently)
also, people were lining up since 5pm the day before so when the doors opened, they all ran to the front and several people were trampled
― Murgatroid, Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:06 (two years ago) link
somewhere along the line i joined the Phoebe subreddit and i swear everyone in there is super young and seeing her for their first-ever concert. they are all asking each other about when they should get in line, how early do they need to get there to be in the front row, where the merch stands are, how much money do they need to buy all the merch, etc.
it should be cute but it's actually annoying. this may be because i am a 46-year-old member of the Phoebe Bridgers subreddit.

I like how this thread title evokes a Seinfeld-ish stand-up bit...
“First there was Courtney Barnett... she was pretty good! Like if Sheryl Crow had a few Nirvana CDs and a reliable weed connection! Then there was Soccer Mommy... when I first heard her, I thought Liz Phair was trying to sneak back into the industry under an assumed name! And now this Phoebe lady... what’s the deal??”

Bring it on, the EP is glorious, and each one of them has gotten better since then. Phoebe is opening for Taylor Swift, right? She's gonna get a lot of new fans this year.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 13 January 2023 21:54 (one year ago) link
this reminds me of a friend of mine telling me he got annoyed at the boygenius show he went to because there were so many young people and I was like "dude, I too wound up being a 50 year old greyhair at a phoebe bridgers concert and that is just something you have to accept"

Phoebe is opening for Taylor Swift, right?
That has got to be either the best or the worst opening slot in the world.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 13 January 2023 23:02 (one year ago) link
she'll do great but if you were annoyed by her fans now, just wait until she picks up more swifties
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Friday, 13 January 2023 23:06 (one year ago) link
I wish her luck convincing those people that she is more than the only thing standing between them and Taylor.

man, I think they took it down, but there was a boygenius pitchfork live set from brooklyn on youtube for a few years that I watched about a thousand times, the version of Me and My Dog in it is one of my favorite live performances ever I think.

Interscope, huh? I guess they outgrew Matador. I wonder if Julien and Lucy are still there as solo artists.
(Old Matador BBS interests die hard.)
― ⓓⓡ (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 14 January 2023 06:23 (one year ago) link
the pitchfork live session is def now gone from youtube, I wonder if that's because of the band changing labels or something...or maybe they're going to release that session in some other way. I hope it comes back, it's something else. there are a few audience shot videos of the same show but they're not as good obviously

Heard her on a Sirius XM radio show playing lots of melancholy rock ballads by Big Star and others and she was enthusing about Alex Chilton from Box Tops days to Big Star and solo

I like them all, "$20" best because I always like when Baker rocks out a little. Hope there's at least a bit more of that on the album.

I absolutely love Phoebe Bridgers, but even as a huge Phoebe Bridgers fan, I would be very good with seeing about 65% fewer "artist X releases a new single featuring Phoebe Bridgers" headlines every month. Seems like they are hitting every few days right now.
