it's disappointing because she has responded unusually well to political critiques in the past (compared to her peers) but I guess those days are over now

My kid has my last name, which is irish. But he identifies as Jewish through his mom. His grandfather survived the holocaust. I've already had to tell him gently that he might hear anti-semitic shit out in the world in passing, maybe from people talking to him who don't know he is of Jewish descent. And these little bits that people just have to let slip into their work increasingly piss me off. It's just unforgivable sorry. The Kanye stuff is on another level but even just one little sliver of it sneaking in is irredeemable. It's exceptionally easy not to hate imo but people seem to love letting this kinda tripe infest their work. Such banal stupid content.

This really glosses over the "balloons" criticism huh

"If we're not willing to give a platform to racists, how are we ever going to have a conversation about racism"

new piece in Pitchfork (reposting is not an endorsement of the JE guest, which is discussed unsatisfactorily): https://pitchfork.com/features/profile/noname-sundial-interview/
apparently the cover art for sundial is a digital painting based on the Homo floriensis reconstruction in the Smithsonian:

two weeks pass...

i do appreciate everyone's views here and it's really important to keep things in check. i feel like most of the persecution that has happened throughout our civilization was on account of a lot of folks just sitting by going, "well it's just words" when it's clearly not. thoughts become words become actions and so on. i don't know how to feel about the new record when listening with ya'lls thoughts in mind. i like her, but yeah... big sigh

that said, separate the art from the artist and upon further listenings, "boomboom" is actually kinda sorta soty status for me. it's so much fun, jesus criminy. ayoni sounds completely angelic in the first verse and then kicks into the chorus -- god DAMM, that's some transcendence. and then fatima just goofs the entire time. "come and eat a georgia peach, ya freak!" i can actually hear her winking. such a fucking rad jam.
