Macaulay Culkin's pizza-themed Velvet Underground cover band

oh by the way, which one's...

top I think

Of all the NYC crowds that a millionaire child actor could get caught up in, I would have probably not guessed antifolk

it's the easiest, basically no effort

Someone told me last week he was living w Adam Green so it kinda figures.

He's having fun

a Spin article that also manages to include Whiney fave "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell"

I think I'm a pretty humorless, overly-serious guy sometimes and then people start disapproving of something as innocuous as this and Personal and the Pizzas and I feel pretty alright about myself.

like, there's a guy on my FB feed who's been driven to all-caps ANGER and RAGE over the fact that pizza-themed bands exist

You're facebook friends with chris ott?

Dammit! I'm going out of town that week!

They really missed out on a chance to get the Moldy Peaches to do a reunion tour w them as The Moldy Pizzas.

This "band" has been selling out shows. Black Cat D.C. sold out extremely quickly at $15 a pop. Folks trying to sell their tickets online for serious $$$. Just having fun though, right.

As long as it's just hipsters trying to find tickets, sure.

stinging cultural commentary there from grandavis

Pizza Underground are playing the very day I go to New York - it's a sign!

That you shouldn't go to New York?

Good ideas. You guys can be in my Haim Tex-Mex group. We should work on the harmonies for Don't Save Me (from the Hot Sauce)

Hah Hurting 2 not sure why that post would rankle you. Believe me I do not think it's a deep post, but I find this interesting on a lot of levels. Take my comments as you will.

Is there a "Why we don't let celebrities/actors near musical instruments" thread yet?

They released the PU Demos as a single for Record Store Day:

I picked up a copy, one of only two items I picked up for myself for RSD. It's amusing, but we all know that.

Aw, that article was good for a chuckle.

et tu, JDarnielle?

so glad i am not in music journalism i would have written that exact email

poor Richie Rich wants a band but doesn't want to interact w the filthy peasants that come to his shows

That is one needlessly long piece about a not very interesting or cool story bro.

By that Friday, it felt like the entire Internet had turned against me. Hundreds of people, maybe thousands, maybe millions, thought I was a jerk. Hundreds told me so on Twitter, dozens on Facebook, a few over email, including a producer of The Drew Carey Show. - See more at: http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/features-issue-sections/15148/macaulay-culkin-pizza-underground-disaster/?fb=dd#sthash.UKGvC7qX.dpuf

This writer seems to have very little sense of scale when it comes to the internet.

pretty sure i said the exact same thing in my head after reading half and skimming the rest.

xp

missed that there was an "uproar" over her article ... and i'm still not sure i understand why anyone cared? what was the problem exactly? just that it was mean to mac?

Both the reaction and her reaction to the reaction seem blown out of proportion. It was a mean article and not that funny. Culkin and the writer both escaped relatively unharmed and afaict few people noticed or remembered that it happened.

she was an unknown freelance writer w no power and now all these famous people were outing her as a bully in front of a huge audience.

the sum impact of the whole thing is probably the article itself and her nerves for a week. i don't think she is saying anything more really.

It only got worse. The next day, Patton Oswalt—comedian, professional troll, wildly outspoken opponent of Internet outrage—sent several tweets to his millions of followers criticizing my tone. “Way to topple the mighty,” one read.

I couldn’t help but think that if I was a comedian myself, Patton Oswalt—someone who pretends to mock oppressed people (like the transgendered) in service of proving that nothing in comedy should be out of bounds—wouldn’t have been so disapproving; that my blog post would have fallen under the welcoming umbrella of free speech in comedy. Instead, I was a journalist trying to be funny and therefore not allowed to hurt anyone’s feelings, even those of millionaire celebrities and their well-compensated publicists. I wasn’t part of the protected comedy class, and so I wholly deserved the scorn he heaped upon my feeble attempts at mean-spirited humor. Or so it seemed.

Civilians, journalists, famous comedians like Nikki Glaser, comedy fans: all came out against me, saying I was bitter, a failure, jealous, fat, a terrible journalist, a terrible person, a bitch, an asshole, a cunt, that I would rot in hell

In large part it's just too long in relation to the interest/significance of the story, lots of mundane detail that could be left out.

otm

this was usurped on my facebook by a story about a guy who gave public enemy a lift in his car. so, not a lot of legs...

patton oswalt is so fucking annoying. this diss by tim heidecker about those corny as fuck "twitter essays" still cracks me up:

@timheidecker
(1/256) humor, which began in ancient times has always been an important part of society...
