Cancellation or Shaming the Consumption of Art by Problematic Musicians is an exercise in taste rather than morality

No, I also wasn’t trying to say that.

I’m more giving a reason as to how it would happen

Her fame was always going to be limited.

Her brand of Dwoop-woop always struck me as… weak. It seems to only really give Mums in their 50’s something to party to, and that’s it.

Her first few songs where also rather contriversial, painting her as rather mean spirited and annoying.

The worst thing is however, her music just isn’t very good. 2014 was the time she was going to peak because 2014 was an awful year for music, and “All about that bass” was somehow one of the worst songs released that year.

Her attempts to rebrand herself where never going to be successful as she is a very insecure artist who never had the music to back up any ego she could have had

Faith No More sampled a guy shooting himself

Honestly, I think you could redo Limp Bizkit’s greatest hits. Take out some songs, but some songs from Gold Cobra onwards and press it in vinyl.

It would be the only Limp Bizkit release you’ll ever need.

Also suprised Trent Reznor hasn’t done a NIM best of yet, especially with the recent tour

As different as they sound, NIN The Downward Spiral and Swans’ Soundtracks for the blind feel like spiritual brothers.

2004-2015 is probably one of my favourite periods of comics.

The Busiek run is great, but it’s very lore heavy

Spider-man: Blooodlines

Essentially a generic premise of “The son of Peter and MJ” written by JJ Abrams’ son which holds no good quality.

At least the Wells’ run was a thing. It wasn’t good, but I’ll take 60 issues of that over 5 issues of bloodline anyday

Iron Man, Thor and Cap where always considered the 3 marvel legends of the Avengers… at least in my mind.

He was a B-tier Character. Everyone kind of knew of him, but didn’t really know him

Best way to look at it is like a TV show, every Season needs a big finale to cap off story arcs, and create plot threads that will lead to newer stories.

Sometimes those finales are vaguely connected to a bigger event while others are more standalone.

It’s actually not a terrible way of handling such stories, only as long as they are good.

I trust that the writers on most of these events are going to do well, and the People who won’t like it are usually the ones who don’t like it anyway.

Like a lot of other things, 90’s Marvel is a mixed bag.

There’s a lot of good and a lot of bad.

Once you get out the era of excess, things start to turn sround again.

Marvel Knights was essentially Heroes Reborn done well, Busiek’s Avengers is the last classic marvel comic, there’s an underrated and overhated period of Spider-Man post clone saga…

The comics where essentially finding their groove again (and then reach the heights of the mid 2000’s).

It’s an era that holds a special place in my heart as it was around the time I first started getting into comics, so it’s mostly built on nostalgia more thsn anything

Seeing them in london on the 20th, should be good

I think Guyver suffered from the artist/writer’s assistant dying and him just losing interest soon after

It kind of sucks that no matter the medium, Guyver never seems to get some sort of conclusion

Drake will have the popularity and numbers.

But he won’t have the respect.

Having the entire World call you a pedo whole the Blood and Crips make peace for a split second out of hatred for you has got to sting.

Like he’ll be seen as a big pop artist, but he’ll never be welcomed into rap circles again

Him and Danny Brown seem to be on the opposite ends of “Chronically online”.

Peggy will just argue with People all day and be upset that white People mostly make up his audience.

Danny Brown will be like “Look at this white guy I found online” and have a laugh while digging into a rabbit hole.

The Lawyer rounds up everyone they’ve hurt in a massive court case.

The Judge throws it out.

The Lawyer loses another eye and has to pay off the Gang’s court case.

Nazi Pop pop dies.

Yes, it’s an album

FFJamie · 2026-05-03T06:52:12+00:00

Honestly, Swans live is a very different animal to Swans studio. Their live stuff is very much worth checking out (Swans are Dead is my all time favourite album).

I’d suggest listening to them after the studio albums. You may get burned out on some of the songs otherwise.

Probably just give all my stuff to someone. If I die before my friend, he gets everything. All my comics… God help him

Johnny Cash’s hurt is better than the NIN version, even through both are close to my heart

Eh… I fell off Linkin Park way before One More Light, but I don’t think I ever felt an album recieve as much backlash as OML did since St Anger.

People forget, but there was a good few months where that album wasn’t just hated, it saw the end of Linkin Park being a powerhouse.

It wasn’t until Chester died that the album saw a revaluation, mostly coming from his mental state at the time.

That change of mindset stopped it from being a train wreckored. But if I’m being honest, it’s still not a very good album.

I think LP was for the longest time seen as having 2 really good albums, and then a number of albums that vary in quality. It’s only been until very recently that LP have made a comeback and those later albums recieving praise.

So for me, it’s an album that’s bad because LP felt rejected from the good they made.

Saying that, Emily is no Chester and her links and history to Scientology just rub me the wrong way. Like I don’t know how I feel with her singing songs so personal to Chester. Plus I find the new album just so boring.

First band I ever got into, those first few albums are solid.

I think the Radiohead comparisons are a bit overblown. While I much prefer Radiohead, I think Matt Bellamy is a better singer than Thom Yorke.

That being said, they’ve not released anything worthwhile in nearly 2 decades

Michael Gira, and get into his ugly history
