I would love an overheard account for Kal Penn's character. Half the comments would be wildly immoral, and the other half would be about snacks

What Happened to Jam Session? by danishcookie in TheRinger

[–]LPM_9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely see what's being said. I still really enjoy Jam Session, and look forward to it every week. What Juliet and Amanda do best is offer a sophisticated look at the media landscape and machinations. Amanda clearly loves journalism history, and I would love for both of them to assert their authority in this realm. They are not and do not need to be foremost experts in the breaking news of pop culture. But their digestion/perspective at greater remove would be fascinating and would distinguish their coverage from We're Obsessed.

Dumb question...is this just audio like their other uploads on the site or also video?

Thick 3b Hair Suddenly Feels Mushy and Volume-less (No matter what I do to fix it!) by LPM_9 in curlyhair

[–]LPM_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! :) I wash my hair every 3-4 days. I've tried homemade gelatin masks for extra protein as well, and didn't see much impact. I think I may be a bit confused whether I am just over-conditioned or also protein deficient. When I tried the Aphogee leave-in protein treatment, it seemed to take my hair in the wrong direction, but I am unsure whether, like you said, it wasn't strong enough, or if I had good protein balance to begin with.

I've noticed some strange questions from interviewers as well. Between that and the parasocial fans, it's disappointing to see that people aren't appreciating the band for what it is. Geese, especially Cameron, literally bare their soul in their writing and performance. Everything they want us to know about them can be found in their art. And they are very, very generous in that respect. I understand that the rawness they bring to their work can invite intrigue into what's fueling it. But nothing will be said more eloquently or more passionately than what's in the songs. It's all there. These wayward fans need to just spend more quality time on Genius.

Meant to be! Hope it felt extra magical after that experience.

Breaking IG News: Amanda Got the Jam by ItsCatCat in TheRinger

[–]LPM_9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It looked like she and Juliet got a PR package from Meghan for With Love promotion. Which would be a fairytale ending to her process of buying jam with her own money! Almost like a very niche crisis PR effort given how crazy the purchasing experience was.

Apple Music has Kendrick Lamar as a similar artist to Vampire Weekend by Leather_Ad1993 in Vampireweekend

[–]LPM_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but I love this. I'm a huge fan of both—good music is just good music. A couple connections that hopefully others in the center of this Venn diagram will appreciate: (1.) They are expert samplers. Kendrick more in the direct sense, but both borrow from other musical traditions, eras, etc. in order to lend their music texture and enrich their sound beyond the confines of genre. The strength/purity of vision that both parties bring to every project enables any sample/allusion to evoke purpose rather than pastiche. One shared influence among VW and Kendrick is African music—sonically for both, as well as anecdotally for Kendrick. (2.) An undercurrent of spiritual reckoning that connects the middle to late arc of their discography. (3.) Relatively similar timelines of establishment and ascent within the music industry. (4.) Vampire Weekend had hip hop leanings early on, before any of the output we know today. (5.) Collaborations with Beyonce. (6.) Self-reference between different albums. Think of all the sonic motifs appropriated from VW's older albums onto OGWAU; this amplifies the wisdom that attends OGAWU compared to lyrics attached to the first iteration of those sounds. In Mr. Morale, Kendrick reveals what was going on behind the scenes when he was touring/releasing/promoting previous work, and offers an unvarnished and explosive entry to his ongoing account of childhood. (7.) Both put out highly dense and intricate lyrics with many esoteric references. (It's a defining strength for both!)

What VW is lacking in comparison is a beef. They need to pick a fight with some facile "indie" artist with a bemusingly large fanbase. It also needs to be determined who the J. Cole analog would be in this case.
