Fuck this guy and fuck people like him, they're taking the sonic elements of music I love and just using the popularity of these elements to have a career and to act like a wanker in the process to the point where truly obnoxious, cunty behaviour is classed as acceptable because of this guy's supposed 'genius'. That guy is a perfect product of the times and the times can fuck themselves.I didn't think his [img]behaviour[/img] qua rock stardom seemed [img]that[/img] bad. I could see why it would get annoying having to iron his shirts if you're a runner but people must do worse in the name of art, which he does seem to be dreadfully keen on invoking. What got me going was how gauche he seems for a 30-year-old man: "I'll never be black, I'll never have that experience. That's what's missing from indie culture, though: Bo Diddley and blackness. There's a struggle that exists in black music and hillbilly music from a certain era. Old music resonates with me, new music doesn't."I think the PFork writer was quite on point when they referenced Courtney Love.

A buddy of mine is playing bass in this band. I still don't like it. CRAP

Anyone have an upload of the Double Dream of Spring cassette?

What a time to be alive.

Hard to believe people think rock and roll is dead.

There is another video from a few years back of his story about Billy Corgan being exactly what you'd think he'd be- at a show they played opening for the Pumpkins at the wonderful Orange Peel in Asheville, NC. Maybe someone has shared it before. If not, check it out.

Looks like they might have apologized to avoid getting sued but not exactly a retraction either:https://www.stereogum.com/1847539/bradf ... tion/news/Maybe Cox is cool but I'm not generally a fan of storytime at shows.

Explain. Not particularly into this band, but they're ok and this person seems smart, cool and funny.edit: 'person', not guy.
