i don't think it's the worst thing for a music biopic to essentially be fan service. most of them fail at very basic standards of storytelling or historical accuracy even when they make an effort, so you might as well deliver a spectacle for the motivated ticket buyers.

typo of the day: "earlt" instead of "early"

i haven't cried when celebrities died many times, but i definitely listened to "sometimes it snows in april" and shed a tear the day prince died

a girl at my school once said "i'd swallow his machinehead"

mario and bowser have an "enemies to lava" arc

Yeah that was one where the streaming numbers are huge so I was like I'll just put another song in its place

Yeah minor celebrities can fly under the radar with their controversies a little more easily. Chappelle once asked Elon to reinstate Kweli's Twitter account but Elon never did it lol.

i'm not going to even open the email that says my credit score improved. i don't know what it was before, i don't care what it is now, i don't even know what a good credit score is. i already bought a house without learning about that stuff and i'm not going to start now.

"remember when we all turned on anne hathaway and jennifer lawrence" no that sounds like a you problem, i support talented queens

infowars decisively losing the information war is crazy

I airball tweets and skeets all the time for the love of the game

typo of the day: "feeeze" instead of "freeze"

i've gotten very good at guessing from titles, artwork, and other context clues whether a new release on spotify is an album or a single before i click on it, but it'd be nice if they were just labeled differently to begin with

what if we kissed in front of the liturgical textiles guild

before Mike WiLL Made-It was famous he was just Mike WiLL Have Made-It

didn't think much of the first movie Jonah Hill directed, but Outcome is pretty funny, especially the Kanye joke, considering what Kanye said about Jonah

Every Smiths Album, Ranked - SPIN Steven Patrick Morrissey was born in 1959, and became an obsessive music fan as a teenager, writing countless letters to U.K. music magazines, running New Johnny Marr and Morrissey only wrote songs to...

something very annoying happened when "hot takes" (shallow, quickly formulated commentary on recent or developing events) turned into every opinion or theory, no matter how long you've held it or based it on personal experience or research, being characterized as a "take"
