The title of the article is also I Went On A Date With Everyone's Crush, Natalie Imbruglia. compare that to I Went on a Date with My High School Crush: Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara or simply A First Date With... Sky Ferreira

Not even close to the worst piece of music writing ever, but this feels like such a missed opportunity on such a fascinating topic. I really would like to read a more thorough piece of writing on this that didn't feel so underdeveloped and end with an oh no you didn't joke about fisting.

"Debussy was the first composer up. His Danse sacree et danse profane is not Claire de lune or Prelude to the afternoon of a fawn. This is hard core impressionism and it’s not really easy listening even though there is a harp involved."

I found the linernotes to the Quicksilver Messenger Service live at the Kabuki theatre pretty risible. The writer decided that the short form was QSM in the first sentence and seems to have kept it consistent throughout the rest of the text. I didn't read right through it since it's a writer I tend to find pretty naff anyway.

Is it my limited understanding of English, or would Eazy 'cuckolding' someone's sister mean doing something Eazy would probably not do?

remain irritated tho that all the non-rock inclusions read like, "uugggghhhhh i GUESS i'll put beyonce/young jeezy/daft punk in there" due to hyden's pedigree; i don't necessarily doubt that he listens to shit that isn't rock but i do think that left to his own devices he'd prob make a fairly homogenous list that was almost entirely boomer rock plus maybe some metal and 90s indie-slacker shit

Frederik … No. Not least because you can't cuckold a woman. You cuckold her husband. A cuckold is one whose wife has had sex with another man. Also, no particular practices are associated with cuckolding. It's just having sex.
― Roaming gang of aggressive circlepits (ithappens), Wednesday, 19 August 2015 08:50 (eight years ago) link
But he says that Eazy wants to cuckold the sister? So is she in a same sex relationship, would that work?

You'll have to take that up with him, not me, Frederik. It's possible he did not fully understanding the correct meaning of "cuckold".

Where is the artistry when a producer digitally stitches together a vocal track, syllable by syllable, from dozens of takes? Or modifies a bar and calls it a new song?
Great question. Let's ask Teo Macero.

lol most of the ppl who buy enough into popstar fandom to call themselves 'swifties' or 'katycats' understand the machinations of the industry far more deeply than this dork and are well aware of these writers and producers and their writing camps that he seems to think are obscure secrets that the industry guards with care.
the book he is kinda-sorta reviewing must be hella basic if some of the tantalizing factoids he mentions from it are things as well-known as the existence of lou pearlman/denniz pop and tlc having turned down "baby one more time" etc.
also wtf, the "already gone"/"halo" soundalike controversy was not shrugged off or unnoticed by pop fans at all; it arguably was the foundation of most of the former song's publicity, especially b/c (the surely input-free, manufactured) kelly clarkson spoke out about it herself

I don't necessarily agree with the entire tone of the piece, and I think it's a little lightweight, but I found it interesting it taught me some new things and clarified some old things. This is all from the POV of a Britisher who's slightly divorced from mega-pop, by and large.
