Pitchfork putting Rush in the limelight is definitely a sign of changing times.

I know nothing about Rush, really, but this was a great review (that even made me a little curious).

I've been nurturing a Busta Rhymes obsession for a month or two; it's kinda horrifying to me that he's not routinely discussed as one of the greatest rappers ever.

Six years since her last studio album, the veteran singer-songwriter and slide guitarist with a collection of robust professional rock that may inspire deep dives into her back catalog.
I'm just struggling to know if this is a sentence.

maybe missing the word "returns" before "with"?

It could be a sentence... if she is doing the diving and her collection of rock may inspire deep

alpine static is correct, otherwise that is a bad sentence

The news item didn't get into this, but it relates to an existing controversy about this year's Oscars telecast, regarding award presentations that were pre-recorded but inserted into the show as though they were live. So it's noteworthy that that happened not just with awards presentations but with a musical performance, too.

with offsite performances like that unless the performer is holding up a copy of that days newspaper i assume its not live, i'm surprised anyone would be surprised by that

In a community survey conducted by the production crew, only two neighborhood respondents indicated any reservations about the shoot. One person expressed concern about “neighborhood safety because it depends on who’s in it,” while the other requested unspecified “inconvenience compensation.”
what's THIS about!?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 29 April 2022 15:22 (two years ago) link
The outlet cited three unnamed sources who said that talks about the shoot had “solidified” on March 14, when the permit had, in fact, been approved four days prior to that.
Getting a bit Pepe Silvia at this point.

Don't worry, I will cover all of this in my 10min+ react youtube video, you can find it through the link in my twitter post about the article with the caption "excuse me??". Anyway, by the end of the video I will have thoroughly reacted with concerned puzzlement and suspicion concluding that I'll be "looking for answers" and will declare conclusively "I don't know about that". I'll share the article/vid on reddit with headline "Beyonce Ignores Obvious Safety Issues And Refuses Compensation To Residents During Shoot For Fake Oscar Performance" to multiple subreddits like whatcouldgowrong and winstupidprizes

i'm laughing at the implication here — which is that there are still people who believe that everything on television is totally real and exactly as it appears guys i swear look at it!
do you think pfork staffers also check the other side of the mirror to see if all that stuff is really there too?
stereogum or somebody should start some beef with their own headline: "pfork fails to understand basic show business operations, harasses beyonce"

I know it’s ridiculous to complain about Pitchfork in 2022 and it has been slowly developing into a wider net “culture” site for some time now, but that “here’s what the stars wore at the Met Gala” photo essay was really striking in a, “do not want” kind of way. I guess whatever gets clicks, but that felt out of step even with their current incarnation. Figure we’re about a season away from “Phoebe Bridgers are lunch at THIS east village hot spot” paparazzi shots.

*Had* it been previously acknowledged that the performance was pre-taped? Maybe it had, but that was the first I'd heard of it. When I was watching it, I assumed it was live and even thought "Oh, this performance is starting the show so they can take advantage of the daylight."
