hot take: snail mail is good
― austinb, Monday, 2 July 2018 04:52 (five years ago) link
hotter take: investing in an artist based on their potential (often derived through their personality rather than their formal ability to prove themselves thus far) is entirely fine

potential for what? and what personality? I've read a few Snail Mail interviews (including Pelly's thinkpiece) and it seems to me that this is a person with no strong opinions about anything

Nothing says 2018 like the fact that I don't know whether that post means you are aghast at their exclusion or shocked by their inclusion from this list (which I have nor read and do not plan to read).

Using “girl group” outside the 1960s context is always strange to me (and I don’t think many of those ‘60s groups even liked the term).

Can it be that the power of corporations like Apple and Spotify has become so great, these companies believe they can bend the meaning of words themselves? We see the reach for that kind of power in politics all the time: the meaning of words like “choice,” “freedom,” and above all “America” are wrestled over, as if determining their interpretation will determine our behaviors. Spotify can push Scorpion on its listeners, but I would venture that no one will like it any more than they did before it became so “recommended.” The use of power to warp language might fool some of us, some of the time. But in the end, that power crumbles surprisingly fast when we assert the truth of words—and own them.
This seems a bit... overheated

On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 grams (1.43 lb) of cocaine. He subsequently pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and provided the names of other dealers in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years rather than a possible life imprisonment. He was paroled on June 12, 1981, after serving two years and four months in Federal Correctional Institution, Sandstone in Sandstone, Minnesota.[26][27][28]

No matter how far they stretch, their tones and rhythms always cohere, making their music as mesmerizing as a hypnotist’s swinging clock.

Earl Sweatshirt’s cancellation is disappointing, but thanks to the addition of Tierra Whack the only thing that should be grumpy is your beer. The Old Man Grumpy to be exact, a dry-hopped pale ale that’s sharp beyond expectations, just like the playful and surprising wit of young Philadelphia hip-hop phenom Tierra Whack, who will tear through a performance of her 15 minute album Whack World before you finish that beer.

Fleet Foxes’ brand of Americana has always had a little something extra, just like the 312 Urban Wheat, a still smooth-drinking wheat, but with enough brightness to make it an excellent evening-ender.
