OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

oh wait, we're talking about jessica hopper here? yeah, in that case i'll take whiney's side.

the editor who threw him to the wolves is a middle-aged white mom

so what? what does that have to do with anything?

last week i watched MTV for the first time in years. it was nothing but ghost reality shows.

Jessica is still hands down one of the best music writers of our generation,I just don't particularly agree with her editing strategy

I've never liked her writing. I do admire her groundbreaking work on the "I'm a publicist and a journalist!" hustle, which has paid big dividends for a bunch of other folks since.

ROFL you're joking

it would be cool if there were only 2 shows, one about ghost b.c. and one about the japanese prog band

listening to ned's atomic dustbin right now, this still sound aight!

so weird when english bands seem american like these guys and swervedriver, so used to the reverse

I'm certain there's nothing technically wrong with this review and it's churlish and mean-spirited of me to post it here, and yet...

Some have maligned new single All for One, but live it was perfect. As Brown sang, we did indeed join hands and make a wall.

*tear*

yeah yeah.
ya bastards.

I got some context behind this piece and it doesn't really belong here. Sorry everyone.

yeah guys mocking 12 year-olds is not cool

With her long hair and delicate frame you’d expect something flowing and lyrical to emerge from under those slender fingers.

Air’s vast 20-year retrospective will put your head in the clouds

For two decades, the French duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel have been devoted in their focus to suspend focus via series after series of downtempo synths and treated, blissful vocals—so much so that it seems out of character for them to celebrate their legacy with a high-gloss deluxe anthology. It’s damn near ostentatious for Air anyway. It does, however, help knowing that they were the ones to actually construct Twentyears in all of its grandeur. It is certainly fucking grand: First comes a 17-track album of cuts accompanied by 14 more tracks of rarities and unreleased material, all to be followed in late July by an add-on of remixes of David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Beck, Neneh Cherry, and MGMT. Boy, oh boy, that’s a lot of Moog.

"Air have released a best-of with a bonus disc."

" have been devoted in their focus to suspend focus" That's an awkward way to state this, though I'm not sure even what they are trying to state.

Good lord

o no :(

just came to post that. what... is it

To be frank, this is the type of shit that fuels interracial relationships

shit b

being cornered at a bar by a half ass hipster runoff carles character who is aggressively gushing about an unspectacular record

"He’s previously worked as an editor at Ashton Kutcher’s A Plus and as a staff writer at BuzzFeed."

we all said we wanted the Pitchfork '00-style review to make a comeback but I don't think we really thought the implications through

who said this and how soon can we start rounding them up

lol this feels like it's been written by 17 different writers. all teenagers.

I'm telling you, this album is primetime vodka and molly music for summer 2016, my guy. This is not music for the Uber ride home by yourself at 3am, upset because you'll be alone for the rest of your life b. This is the shit you play before you make an ill-advised decision and cheat on the love of your life, or do some freaky shit with the person you forgot to formally break things off with. Essentially this record’s theme is all about embracing imperfections, saying fuck it, and getting down while you can. Okay, I hate myself for that sentence, but I have no idea who Toronto singer Kai is, and she sounds fucking perfect on “Never Be Like You.” Tell her people to hit up my people so we can do this joint interview with Streten on some behind-the-scenes shit. She might be the most slept on artist to date b.

can we get this guy on ilx pronto plz

oh wait, there's like a half dozen people who do this schtick already

Did none of you who are upset over this ever read a Vice album review from like 2007 (I'd understand if you didn't, I don't really cherish the time I spent reading those either)

this reads like a style parody of big ghost, except without the funny parts

xp those at least had the decency to be brief

Did none of you who are upset over this ever read a Vice album review from like 2007

no because it was on Vice and fuck Vice forever

the "b." sentence enders read like typos that result from him trying to hit the space bar twice and failing

oh wait, there's like a half dozen people who do this schtick already

bring back Old Fart

Both Sky and Madonna have similar breasts in both cup size and ability to cause a shitstorm. When Ferreira dropped her debut, Night Time, My Time, three years ago, the bare-breasted album cover nearly broke the internet. Misogynists claimed it was a desperate attempt to sell records; feminists saw it as the calculated move of a defiant young woman. A third unnamed group that included me couldn't help but reminisce on the past, on Madonna's defiantly atomic boobs — the two knockers that altered the course of human history.

ew

Even in the candid photo of her nude in the shower, soaking wet, she looks natural, like she's shooting a home video, rather than being photographed by a creeper. She looks like a more cherubic Sharon Stone, icy but also sweet, like a freshly licked lollipop.

..........what in the actual bloody fuck

Welcome to "Art Tavana vs. the World," a monthly column in which L.A. Weekly's angriest (and nerdiest) music critic, Art Tavana, takes on his many nemeses in an ambitious quest to boldly go where no other critic has gone before.

this is the text equivalent of the jerk-off hand motion.

a nerd edgy and ambitious enough to call robb stark a pussy

wow the la weekly ran something shitty, what a surprise

i guess this guy had to stay erect after writing a cover story on sasha grey
