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

the right would prefer an SSTocracy

a blast first, ask questions later government

ask me about my Gangrene New Deal

SLASH government spending!

form a NEW ALLIANCE!

godspeed to everyone who actually read that; just looking at the URL is giving me hives

it's even worse than you'd expect!

AMREPresentative democracy in action!

When I saw Beto speak it was like 50 Skidillion Watts of energy shot up leg.

My

so you’re saying he made your calves cramp?

can't believe the editor unearthed one of beto's since-now-undiscovered textfiles before the textfiles guy did

Beto won't win the election but everyone who sees him speak will run for President in the future.

Fugazi capitalism would be inclusive, consumer-friendly and ethical.

My neighborhood 7-11 is upstairs from Dischord btw

Ftr I could find no entry for Fugazi in the RIAA's gold and platinum database.

In that respect, Tame Impala did more than enough to fill that void by drenching the crowd with their LSD-drenched visuals and even a little more crowd work than usual. (During one of their final songs, Parker crept onto the festival’s projectors with five eyeballs.)

sounds trippy

read that three times, still can't parse

where have all the editors gone?

so the projector had ... or wait, Parker had.... hang on now

Team Drench

I drenched my body with flavor drenched gatorade because I was working my body more than usual.

got me a movie oh ho ho ho
crept on five eyeballs oh ho ho ho

also whut

editors the profession are pretty much like editors the band, they're still around but nobody gives a shit about them

The editor is dead, long live the involuntary poet!

hm

"crowd work"

If this exercise in space-filling were printed in a college newspaper, I wouldn’t pick on it, but it’s in the L.A. Times:

can we start one of these for weed writing

What name evokes so much? That of a world leader, a humanitarian or Nobel laureate? That of a sports legend, inventor, philanthropist or explorer? No. Once thought to be the most simple and humble of plants, it's now believed to be the most complex in Mother Nature’s entire garden. In existence since pre-biblical times, its cross-continent voyage began in Asia thousands of years ago, when a Chinese emperor discovered and unleashed its healing powers. Whether you use the Latin name of science, "cannabis," the U.S. government-imposed name, "mari(h)juana" or the 100-plus slang terms, its scope, breadth and reach is profound.

whoa i never knew cannabis was latin for science

so much evoking

It is Mother Nature’s Steve Jobs; celestially conceived to meet our bodies' built-in demand.

can we start one of these for weed writing

I feel like "Vichy LA Weekly hires" is a separate category all of its own

The cannabis industry has its own "F" word. Instead of the letter "F," the letter is "H," and the word is "high."

Loving that LA Times piece

Friday’s set offered a mix-and-match roll of contemporary rock varietals. Lemony new wave. Cherry-flavored ballads. Pineapple pop songs. Lime rockers.

Yum!

what the flying high?

who the hell thinks cannabis is a simple, humble plant?

This feature reads like it was begrudgingly written as a favor to someone:

In Carly Rose’s knockout of a debut single, this sly young pop singer describes her burning desire to disappear with somebody from an overcrowded gathering.

“I don’t want to dance, so just finish your Bacardi,” she moans over the creeping, bottom-heavy groove of “Birds & Bees,” which came out last month and quickly racked up nearly a quarter-million streams on Spotify and YouTube. And just before she rhymes "party" with the name-brand rum, she drops an unprintable modifier — two syllables, starts with F — to show how serious she is about leaving.

(.....)

An unprintable modifier, you guys! Pop music is sure crazy these days, lol

I too am faggot about leaving

Felcher

lmao fgti

I checked out the song; it’s a few degrees better / more interesting than the description makes it sound, IMO (another failure of the writing).

Wow, you know, I’m really excited about Alex Cameron (musician) and I couldn’t imagine that somebody could be presented with his brilliant and rich and ripe-for-analysis body of work so far and instead rip it to shreds while doing a diarrhea

you will not trick me that easily, maura

wow that was awful, and I love Neil Young

You weren't kidding, huh. This a masterclass in abysmal writing.

Also, lol @ '“I really wish this interview hadn’t happened,” he later said, seeming more downhearted than angry.'

That’s another thing about Young that rescues him from nihilism and self-pity: He does stuff, even if what he does sometimes seems loony.

One thing I really do appreciate about Young is all the....ugh what do you call it (*gestures*) you know “stuff” he does.
