Communion

Girl, what? Her story is cool but people aren't listening to it because they want to listen to someone from Slovakia. They're listening to it because it sounds like a BANGERZ era Miley Cyrus song and a pop girl doing a rare trap-inspired song amongst the flood of country nonsense. There's nothing in the song or video that reads as "EUROPEAN", especially when the song itself is so heavily pulling from an era of 2010s music of "white pop girls making trap inspired music". If you didn't know anything about her, the video for Ain't In LA just looks like it'd take place in some other small California city and she's just personally beefing with LA.

China is capitalist when they can kill billionaires who do bad things and take over any property or companies that start to fail the purpose of the state? Sign me up for Dengism!!!

Got my first political survey call of my life today. The interviewer's reaction when I first said I was a white non-Latino male but then started saying "strong disapprove" on every topic of Trump's job as President. Probably their reaction when I said I trust Democrats in Congress more than Trump and Republicans in Congress when asked about "deporting dangerous illegal criminals". Our silence on the phone when he told me I got an open ended answer and he asked me what my number one issue leading into the midterms was and I told him "Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people".

I don't think 4 tracks isn't enough or can't elevate an album. Something like Brighter Days Ahead took an already great album and its new tracks elevated it to a discography highlight. I think the one issue for Taylor, and it acts more so as an unfortunate byproduct of a celebrity, is that her writing is almost now too specific to her. Everything feels almost too hyper-specific about her fame and the Easter eggs of her life. I don't want to listen to a song and it be beaten over my head of "oh this is about one of the Scott's" or "oh this is hyper-specifically about her one bisexual ex-boyfriend who did a lot of drugs and broke her heart after a 3 month love affair and a controversy involving problematic race play porn!" If some artists' problem is that they keep their cards just a little too close to their chest and refuse to disclose any specific details, her's feels like she's maybe disclosed a little too much and set up Saw-style games on how fans can then decode further specifics. Need her to focus a little more on articulating emotions and emotional intelligence than descriptive storytelling. I don't need to know the type of wood the table is made of!

Hmm, I do think there is something to be said that MNEK writes and produces his own work. Having a very specific sound he excels in (UK house) can make some of the stuff feel derivative and that's why I'm not sure if there would be much demand for him as an artist, but something like the below is clearly an example of someone talented at their craft of topline writing and making beats, even if the lyrics themselves aren't for people.

Okay but.. bops!!

As a proud New Jerseyan, I feel like I shouldn't have to know who 99% of people from Alabama, Texas, Tennessee or Georgia are.

He put out a short visualizer (not sure if it's out in full yet). And seems to be... getting some social media attention! ddd

This seems to be the new Zionist lobby framing yet seemingly assumes people are stupid enough to somehow forget that this entire issue was not people trying to "cancel" Ed but Ed helping to censor and cancel his opening act for not supporting ethno-nationalism and slaughtering children in the name of Jewish supremacist ethnic cleansing. Kraft seemingly thought money gave him the right as a Zionist to silence those who think slaughtering Palestinian children on the claim of Jewish law is bad and that was seemingly proven wrong by public anger to his and Ed's actions to Macklemore.

i get your sentiment, but all of this does make me wonder if Ariana's support for Palestine and charitable donations made booking certain stadiums more difficult and that ultimately impacted the choice to do arenas instead. From scanning a list of venues, arenas seem more likely to be owned by the local county or state, or connected to the team who claims such as their home venue. Kehlani has also shared a comment on Macklemore's initial post that similar has been happening to her behind the scenes for awhile.

Imagine bragging that implicit support for murdering children holds no consequences on someone powerful. It's not like some personal scandal like cheating or making a personal mistake. Some of you are being contrarian to defend a nation that makes Palestinians scoop up their children's remains in bloodied napsacks.
