Music Criticism in Video Form

it's good to have occasional reminders of how conditional the current vague social justice orientation of alt music media really is. this is just good business for them, much like it was good business for this guy to have certain associations which it's now good business for him to deny

social justice commitments are fleeting, but apparently click-maxing paginated galleries will always be with us :(

I don't like Fantano's videos but I thought the Quietus article was good. I enjoyed his description of the guitar sound on Plastic Surgery Disasters .

My favorite 13 records would be an incredibly boring list

I only know him as a meme but this popped up - I assume it's not his best work or anything but... he doesn't say really anything? Point to their influences and "they've got some good hooks here."

Ha ha

Drake somehow loses in feud with Fantano

a low point for dignity

it's like two complete morons trying to outsmart each other. i feel like we're the real losers for giving them our attention. oh well.

fuck this guy

Well yeah but what happened now

idk but afaict he still hasn't apologised at all for the video where he told "SJWs" to drink bleach.

I've basically only heard of this guy on here... but Activision is suing him for declaratory judgment, b/c he apparently (a) made a pizza-themed TikTok video where he says "It's enough slices!"; (b) made that audio available for use as a sort of meme on TikTok (where is has since been used in "hundreds of thousands" of other videos); and (c) is now threatening to sue Activision for using it in a Crash Bandicoot–themed video, if they don't pay him $$$. Activision says they relied on TikTok's representation that the audio was freely available for commercial use, and that they also agreed to remove the video when he complained.

Was going to express an opinion on Fantano but cannot be bothered.

instead, let's share some non-shitty music "reaction" channels.

JustJP - https://youtube.com/@JustJP
Into The Music - https://youtube.com/@intothemusic908
The Charismatic Voice - https://youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoice

Obviously 99% of music reaction channels are completely irredeemable, but these three pick interesting music and have interesting things to say about it, that's the standard I'm looking for, you would think that's not a high bar, but
