  1. I agree. Like the saying goes: be careful what you wish for. I wanted Barney Frank to shut up. He was talking a mile a minute and though he’s smart and knows what he’s talking about...kinda...he’s got a rap to him that’s easy to see through. I agreed with Bill about the Ukraine thing. It’s hard to tell people this is the worst thing ever when we’ve had thirty other scandals that were called the same thing. This seems petty and vindictive in part because it’s been one scandal after another which is something I don’t think people fully appreciate about Clinton being impeached. Republicans impeached Clinton for lying under oath, which he did, but the reason why history has been kind to Clinton despite that is Republicans overplayed their hand. They spent so much time pushing the premise that Clinton was corrupt through his tenure that by the time they actually got him on something, it landed with a thud. I think Bill’s point, if he was able to get a word in edgewise, is that this scandal has the added risk of making Democrats look like hypocrites in addition to just looking like bitter, hectoring, self-righteous nags. You’re risking the good-will of one of your front-runners just to take out Trump. I totally agreed with him when he said he wishes politicians would tell their kids to get a job. I don’t think, theoretically speaking, that Joe leveraging a lucrative job for his son is all that bad because let’s face it: that type of thing is a dime a dozen.
  2. Sheeeeeit. Meghan’s lunch-lady built ass isn’t about to put herself in any position to give away food.
  3. Yeah he fits as well. Khalid is like too much (husky with a high top; bad dresser) and not enough at the time. Have you seen the video for Love Lies? The whole Khalid is chilling...like he just got through sipping lean. Meanwhile, Normani is dancing for her life like she’s trying to be Beyonce’s understudy. I imagine sex between would be like those routines on Dancing With the Stars where the dude can’t dance, so the chick just kinda dances around him. So we’re just gonna let J. Lo do every damn thing now? First they pick her to do a tribute to Motown, now the Super Bowl with Shakira? It’s been a good decade since either one of these hoes has had a hit. I’m too tired to fact-check, but for real. J. Pro is gonna do Jenny from the Block and show her ass, literally, and Shakira is gonna bleat out Hips Don’t Lie so you can remember how much you hate that song.
  4. Definitely. The difference with Post Malone is he didn’t start a trend the way Lana del Rey and Lorde did. Post Malone is like Aaron Lewis (lead singer of Staind) with the production of the Migos. Oddly enough it works.
  5. There’s this Sad Girl indie pop thing that’s been going on for a few years. I think Lorde might have it honest, but even with her it has diminishing returns. It seems like music industry is trying its best to avoid singerly singers, if that makes any sense. I think they associate traditional vocalists as amateurish because of American Idol and The Voice, where not mumbling or whispering into the mic and maybe being able to hit a high note or two is actually a good thing. Seriously, I think I could take an average looking girl with an average voice and make her into a star within 18 months. The blueprint is obvious: Dye your hair an unconventional color Get 5-7 visible tattoos Get a nose piercing Don’t smile too much in press photos Sing with an off-patois accent, like you’re from the Midwest but maybe you spent a semester in Jamaica Then all I’d need to do is get somebody to ghostwrite a few post-grunge rom lyrics and find a producer to pair those lyrics with light Trap production and she’d be a star. It’s so easy it’s actually kind of sad.
  6. Three beta male douches with questionable taste! Todd’s that one guy in Intro to Women’s Studies who hates Chris Brown and the word moist as much as you do, Spectrum Pulse is the type of guy your mom would set you up with. Grady’s alright. He’s a little dry toast, but he’s not a dick like Todd. I do want to send him a message telling him to “let her out”. Sometimes he has these little sassy moments that’s kinda funny since he’s talking about Country music.
  7. Yeah, her latest album has gotten good reviews. I think Lana has wisely not stopped working since 2012. She’s had a few minor hits, but I was surprised to realize that she’s released six albums in seven years. Homegirl is working, which is why she has an audience. Most artists would’ve taken a break by now. Also, low key I think Halsey’s whole sound is basically a rip-off of Lana. I’ve seen videos where people have done side-by-side comparisons of Halsey and Lana and it’s eerie. Some of that may be producers plagiarizing themselves, but some of it is, you know, let’s do this thing over here.
  8. Don’t Call Me Angel by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana del Rey is #1 on trending. The song isn’t the bop it should be. It’s the lead single for the new Charlie’s Angels movie. But they got three chicks who just aren’t doing it for me. For one, I don’t find any of them sexy. Ariana is cute, Lana is at best kind of pretty, and Miley looks rose hard and put away wet. I have no idea why she’s aging badly (well, I have an idea, but I have no confirmation). That said, Miley works the best for the song and video. Ariana is still doing the pretty girl doing pretty singing while looking pretty thing, but there’s too much of her. She has a verse and she sings the hook. Then Lana, who I’ll admit I was most interested in hearing what she did with the song, comes in and basically does an entirely different song. To be fair, I wish they would’ve left her part out and wrote an entire song around it because it works in its own way. She invokes a certain menace that could work on its own, but in a big pop song like this is supposed to be? It sounds out of place. I hope pop music makes a comeback, but I’ll be honest and say I wish this song had a female rapper on it. I think an Iggy Azalea or Meg thee Stallion (whom I would’ve preferred) would’ve worked great.
  9. I agree about AiC. I’ve always thought that an aging Country singer should cover “Nutshell”. I think it could be a hit for them and kind of iconic a la “Hurt” by Johnny Cash.
  10. I just came to say this woman has a sad smile and it makes me think her husband is mean to her. Like, for real. Are we sure he doesn’t have a Hoe on the Range that she doesn’t entirely know about?
  11. UO: I don’t normally give high praise, but in this case I have to. Have you ever heard an album that sounds almost perfect? Like, you don’t want to call it perfect because that sounds weird, but you can’t really say anything negative about it. I do think there’s a such thing as pop perfection. For me, that is Ladyhawke’s first album, “Ladyhawke”. The album is eleven years old. I heard it in college and I was surprised at how catchy and accessible each song is. Like, every song sounds like a hit. Her musical palette is obviously inspired by the 80s, but it doesn’t feel dated, even now. For real, go listen to this album, front to back. I guarantee if you listen to the first three songs you will hooked. And you’ll wonder why she isn’t bigger than she is. And this especially if you think you’re too old for modern pop music. This will become something you keep playing. For real, go listen to it. Start with Magic, Manipulating Woman, and My Delirium.
  12. Yeah, credit where credit is due, that flute twerk was pretty good. Still, the song just feels like a novelty kind of thing. Like she wrote and recorded it in thirty minutes just on a lark. And Lizzo’s whole vibe just reminds me of that time MoNique hosted the BET Awards and opened the show dancing to Crazy in Love with other big girls. It’s like she saw that and said “hold my Hennessy”. Or maybe I’m just being a bitch because I’m sick.
  13. Bad Guy, Senorita, and Truth Hurts all suck, so you guys aren’t missing anything.
  14. Can someone help me find a music video? I don’t know the name or band, obviously, but I do know that the last clip(s) show a tight shot on a man running. Like, you know he’s running because the background has that fuzzy look that denotes movement. It looked kind of futuristic. He’s a white dude, uh, handsome-ish face I guess. Maybe a goatee? Short cut? The band I think has been around awhile. Like, this was a music video from a band that had been around for a long time. Also, I saw this on VH1 years ago. So it must have been a fairly popular song. So I guess alternative rock or indie pop.
  15. In the credit report case, why do I get the feeling the plaintiff wasn’t telling the whole story? I got Fragile Femme vibes from her. Not to victim blame, but she seemed a little dramatic. And even though the property manager was kinda shady, I believe him when he says she couldn’t pay her rent.
  16. Billie Eilish is definitely for the kids. Can’t say I get it.
  17. The first case is a rerun but the plaintiff — what’s his name — seemed to have some emotional issues. I think his hand was shaking at the beginning when he was being sworn in. Not sure if I caught that the first time. The second case with Prince Oochie and failed America’s Next Top Model contestant was more interesting. She went to his car with scissors and somebody just happened to have gotten cut. What are the odds? Tammy Talk-A-Lot was doing too much for me. I was sitting here like, “Pleeeeease shut the hell up”. You know it’s annoying when I can’t even really make any jokes about it. The best I could come up with is man I feel sorry for whoever is sleeping with her, but that’s more mean than funny.
  18. UO: We need more male pop stars. And maybe some who aren’t necessarily lotharios.
  19. I think I’ve said it before but Nicki Minaj is actually an underrated singer. She’s at least as good a singer as Rihanna. Here’s an under-the-radar song — that sounds 2016-ish even though I think it came out last year — by her and ZAYN. It’s kinda nice.
  20. “Lover” is...well, I’ll just say this: I don’t hate the song. It’s a little precious. And kinda corny. It’s more in her wheelhouse, but that might be the problem. I think people need to be clearer about what iteration of Taylor they miss. It’s one thing to miss Country pop Taylor, but I think we need to remember she’s a grown woman. Sounding girly is okay in small doses, but there’s a girliness that Taylor has that’s a little less appealing. If Pink has sang Lover I would like it just fine. On Taylor it’s just a shrug. And not to sound pessimistic, but judging by that track list this album is gonna be, well, not 1989.
  21. Any update on figuring out that song? This cover is hilarious (in a good way) on several levels. First, I like that they have him in all red. It’s common among black men from the South to do the matching thing when they’re trying to look fresh. Second, I mean, if you didn’t know he was gay before...I’m just saying. Third, this is going to down in history as one of Time magazines classic covers. It even looks like it could’ve came from any point in the last thirty years. All in all, it’s my favorite Time cover right next to the one they did when Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for governor of CA and it just said, Ahhhhhnold????”
  22. I think she’s talking about the music played before the opener comes out and between acts.
  23. Eesh, nothing’s ringing a bell. I’d suggest Forever with Drake and some other people, but I think you’d have recognized Eminem (he’s in it) and I don’t think are a bunch of f-bombs in that song. Another random guess is I Don’t Fuck With You by Big Sean and E-40.
  24. Ooh boy. Can you quote any of the lyrics? Given the concert and what I would assume about the crowd, I’ll guess Rockstar by Post Malone & 21 Savage, Sicko Mode by Travis Scott and Drake, or (this is a reach) Look Alive by Drake and Blocboy JB. We’ll start with those. You can also try King’s Dead by Kendrick Lamar, Future, and some other dudes.
