i have no idea. never cared much for this band ... one of those where i dig everything about them except the music. no slight to her, of course. she obviously rules.― alpine static, Thursday, March 16, 2023 5:18 PM

very otm for me too (nearly verbatim).
i have no idea what she's up to and think of her as kind of a perfect role model; especially in regards to the shitty criticisms of her style. did she ever say anything in response? i don't remember that she did. kind of passive aggressive non-response of, "well if i suck so much why does seven nation army rock so hard?"
(thread idea: "musicians you love/ride for/defend while actively disliking the music they make")

i just thought the headline was very goofy, especially "the viral and bad white stripes take"
― ufo, Friday, 17 March 2023 03:37 (one year ago) link
agreed. don't mean to goof too much about this because it's a pretty fucking daft criticism. like i said, i don't even like the band and it bugs me.

the "viral and bad" is funny, but the part that made me laugh/cringe most was "as world considers"

the music Jack White has made since the end of The White Stripes is all the evidence you need that Meg was not the problem in that band

There is a little Kevin Shields in the way Tumor manipulates sounds; the way the triggered samples detonate on late-album highlight “Purified by the Fire” recalls MBV’s “Touched.”
Isn't Touched all Colm's work or is my memory failing me? Anyway good review.

After 50 years as one of the biggest bands in the world, there’s something charming in the way that U2 keeps acting like they have something to prove.

(sorry i'll stop now. the thought of u2 in 1976 on totp has tickled me greatly.)Given the way they looked on TV in 1978, and 76 being before TOTP felt the paradigm shift, I imagine their way of glamming it up could have made them look like Slik or John Miles.

Likewise, the exercise of switching “Bad”—the band’s 1984 song written about a friend’s struggles with drug abuse—from third person to first person disrespects the song’s original intent.

Luckily for Gillian Welch, the path to acclaim in the folk-country genre doesn't require moving to Oklahoma, Appalachia, or a Mississippi riverbank. Nor does it call for songs about killing people, peddling crack, or mining for black ass-gold (in fact, the latter is probably anathema to the cause). Rather, it's just fine if you sound like you know what you're doing and appreciate tradition, and Welch achieves that with ease.
Well she did move to Nashville in 1992

xpost - my wife spent some time working with AARP on a campaign and I can assure you that Gen X is their prime ad demographic. they don't aim at people they know are retirement age, but those heading that way. so makes total sense that Pitchfork would be in an ad buy.
