today from me at from at IHTOV:

i wrote about what happens when a favorite band puts out a not so favorite album. the disappointment, the horror, and also the coming around later on ihavethatonvinyl.com/liner-notes/...

When Kid was growing up in his mansion in his affluent Detroit suburb he was bullied for wearing hip-hop fashion and having a hi-top. He was called the N word and "Black Bob". He's talked about how degrading it was to be judged for his proximity to the marginalised and yet, he learned nothing.

Use this for Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand

god fucking dammit

Millennials, this could be you and the lads

I really recommend anyone who hasn't tried Fortnite yet (this is you old people) check out the new Daft Punk stuff. It's easily the best pop music collab they've done in the game and I had a ton of fun last night making custom DJ sets in the stem mixer room

Codeine is actually really good and useful if you use it in a normal amount as actual medicine

How long before the "yeah it's a bubble but if it bursts we're taking you all with us so you better keep investing or else" strat? I give it three months

I remember about a decade ago, getting a Hi-NRG sample pack from Computer Music which described it as having the sounds of Bobby Orlando, Stock/Aitken/Waterman and Ian Levine. I was obviously distraught

All the major financial institutions say it's a bubble but Sam Altman says OpenAI is the real thing, even though it's public record that he's doing insane amounts of circular financing and has never made any money off the sludgeotron. I just think we should have some balance here

Yeah, Kirk Drift

Throughout all of history people completely misunderstand the personalities of ubiquitous characters and celebrities because people interpret them based on filtering them through other media they've already seen and can not actually interpret the text as it is. I've heard this called the Kirk Effect

tbh it's not really a pronounciation thing but you are definitely a tourist if you giggle at "Clitheroe"

Hchwanguril?

Also there's no Hall of Meat mode

Just learned that the new Skate game justifies characters falling from their boards and getting back up by saying an SV startup called ImpervaTEK has made all skateboarders invincible. It's not even a joke because you can actually go around their branded skate parks

About half the songs on Brat are good

Charli: Maybe there's more to life than being a B list celebrity and clubbing and doing drugs and cultivating eating disorders and comparing myself negatively to better pop stars and knowing I'm not going to be capable of greatness. Maybe I could find God or have kids
Charli: Nah

I mean the key line in So I is 'you're a hero and I'm human'. Charli really fundamentally knows she's a hack with no connection to God but she can at least appreciate that God exists

The redeeming feature for Charli is that her love of her queer friends is absolutely 100% real even if she can only love them the same way a cat can love gazing at the moon. She's a beautiful grungler

A big part of me being as annoyed by Charli as I am is because I want to punch Hoxton posers in the fuckin teeth and I don't like her glamorising it, but I know the majority of her fans are just like 'wow it's cool to smoke cigarettes' and don't understand the cultural context of it

I guess the only other specifically Charli line is the thing about her being a chihuahua in a tiny purse which is trying to invoke the campy 2K1 post-Paris style Charli does

FUCK TIM WESTWOOD
FUCK TIM MOLESTWOOD
