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

wait up there hoss - some of that soundcloud stuff you're dismissing is just fine for the over 40 crowd, maybe not for you tho'

As a 40 year old, I'm cool with soundcloud rappers. I also recognize that what I might have to say about them isn't notable or relevant to them (or anyone much, really)

A thread where white people old enough to remember the Challenger Explosion debate whether "I took a white bitch to starbucks/That lil' bitch got her throat fucked" is for them

That's not really what's happening but whatever gramps

Ageism goes both ways.

City Journal is the nation’s premier urban-policy magazine, “the Bible of the new urbanism,” as London’s Daily Telegraph puts it. During the Giuliani Administration, the magazine served as an idea factory as the then-mayor revivified New York City, quickly becoming, in the words of the New York Post, “the place where Rudy gets his ideas.”

from the creative team that brought you "geir hongro"

the corruption and oppression of their kleptocratic governments that keep the proles in poverty, ignorance, and fear; their religions that teach violence or passive resignation; and their cultures that oppress women, devalue learning, promote superstition

but enough about america,

Too late, it'll be pretty firmly stuck to him

some of these ageing aesthetes are better off just staying safely inside their posh wanking pits, and refraining from saying anything until the death. Then we all win.

posh wanking pits

But people like Sir Roger Scrotum should stay inside them.

This kind of thing not too unusual these days but published by the CBC, who have done tons of reporting on the story, possibly even breaking it in the first place?

I've never heard of that band. I guess I should be glad to hear that there are bands I've never heard of that people are tattoo-level devoted to. There are more bands than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.

I think I now have a new least-favorite band/song/video of all time.

Froot Loops = ruint

being male = ruint

it was apparently sparked by the author having a picture of her tattoo run with a story on the assault

:(

worst weird pointless npr write up of an absolutely nonsensical youtube video made by a maniac about how kanye west albums have some imaginary analog to situations from disgraced tv show 'the office', ever?

https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2018/03/23/596443553/are-kanye-west-and-michael-scott-from-the-office-the-same-person-yes

I thought that Kanye/The Office thing was a (really bad) take off of the "Every Radiohead album described with Peep Show" format
