Vampire Weekend - Contra poll

talked about on tavi g thread last week

Not defending Ezra in the least here, but what exactly can p4k report on? Afaik she hasn’t mentioned him by name or specifically accused him of anything, so it seems pretty risky for any publication to run with it until there is more info, no? Obviously we can put two and two together, but it wasn’t until ERW specifically named Marilyn Manson that that whole thing spread like wildfire in the press, even though everyone knew who she was referring to years ago.

Get'em guys!

in Manson's case there was a lot that he could have been called on years ago without naming anyone else. instead his own PR/gloating was repeated and passed off as criticism/controversy. in a more p4k relevant example the same goes for ariel pink. in this case there was enough to question if there had been a habit of questioning such things even at the expense of access. of course that's probably bad capitalism. as for what they can do now, there's nothing they can do (including nothing) which wouldn't make them look complicit, which they are
