Very gingerly dipping a toe into the stagnant pond of The Discourse I think it’s obviously fine to not hear popular songs but my reaction to learning “a song I don’t know has broken loads of popularity records“ is “oh I should hear it, maybe I’ll like it”, why would it not be that?

I mean this sincerely: If you are using a thingy to set your fantasy lineup for you, *what is the point* of fantasy sports? Especially if everybody in your league starts doing it? You are telling all your computers to play with each other! I do not understand what about this appeals to anyone.

"Choosin' Texas" staying at No. 1 so long feels like evidence that the charts/music industry are broken, not because it's a bad song (I like it) but because it seems to be the result of inertia, not a true crossover phenomenon. Still, wild to see people still on here saying they've never heard it.

Over the past decade a wave of talky, artsy, noisy post-punk bands has poured out of Ireland and the UK. Gilla Band were arguably that scene's big bang, and on the new Pugnello, they keep finding ways to bang bigger. I wrote about their best album yet:
