I mean, I don't really like the 2015 version of that sound, but Diplo is still working the same formula he lifted from working with MIA and apparently has some level of success

Sick burn.
This thread reminded me of peak love for Bright Eyes (2002-2005?) and while I never followed the sensation, I keep wondering what happened to him, he was such a media darling. Everyone loved the dude.
Not unlike Justin Vernon today.

I was on board with him up until about his first solo record, and I still think that I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is a masterpiece. Since then, though, he's become far too comfortable to play to the NPR/Paste crowd. I was unable to get all the way through his most recent solo disc; he sounds positively middle-aged on it.

dude's hype usually revolved around his youth so once that was gone you just had a elvis costello-type making real music for real millenials

read music/speak spanish remains his "politically outraged pinkerton fan" testament, beyond that i only need a few tracks
it's funny that both he and john mayer wound up walking around california in a big floppy hat
