he’s a good example of what’s wrong with mainstream pop music today. stale, uninspired, tepid production, but always acts as if he’s pushing new artistic boundaries. also been riding off being Taylor Swift’s best friend/producer for years & acts like a baby when journos ask him about her lmaooooo

INTERVIEWER: Were you involved in Taylor Swift's new album 'Tortured Poets
Department', which will be released on April 19?

Jack Antonoff: "You know I don't talk about that," says Antonoff, irritated. "If you're looking for clickbait, you've come to the wrong place. Thank you for this conversation."

He abruptly disconnects the connection.

our hearts go out to him during this trying time

Headline: Jack Antonoff has broken the one drum machine he uses

Friends and family say he is being closely monitored and looked after

Roland SH-101 synthesizer ad (1984)

ad featuring a woman on a skateboard with the synthesizer on a strap around her neck. with text:

Get up and move with your music. There are no strings attached when you're playing the SH-101.
Battery powered, sleek lines, compact design, lightweight (less than most guitars). Strap it on and it becomes a part of you.
Available in Silver, Red or Blue it looks great on stage, and so do you when you're playing it.
Plug in a set of phones and let the SH-101 take you where you want to go.
The SH-101 is more than just another pretty face
It's a serious synthesizer - 33 keys, 11-octave range, you can go from deepset rumbling bass to screaming highs in a flash. Modulation Grip in combination with Bender let you bend a note up, down or side-ways. With the Source Mixer to blend Sawtooth and Square waves (with PWM), full Filtering, Envelope and Interface capabilities, built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, you've got more power strapped onto your body than you've ever had in any kind of portable…

if both Aphex Twin and Lana Del Rey think you’re trash, i am obligated to think you’re trash as well. that’s just how it works, bud

Moby on Aphex Twin:
Opening up about the time Aphex Twin called him "just a buffoon" in the early 90s, Moby said that although he was a fan of Aphex Twin's music, it was "hard to continue to like it" knowing he holds him in contempt.

Moby on Lana Del Rey:

"Moby you know you're the man."
"Ha, thanks," I said.
"No, not like that. You're a rich WASP from Connecticut and you live in a five-level penthouse. You're 'The Man! As in,
'stick it to The Man? As in the person they guillotine in the revolution."
I didn't know if she was insulting me but I decided to take it as a compliment.
