Holy shit, Darke Complex, the nü-metal band I wrote about for Stereogum (and posted in last year's thread), have turned the Stereogum headline into a T-shirt:

Sort of weird that the shirt says Stereogum on it instead of their own band name. It could have said DARKE COMPLEX up top (they could keep the little logo for laffs), maybe with an attribution to Stereogum under the quote at the bottom.

that looks a bit like a joke gift from a manager; not a lot of thought going on with layout in general when somebody's assistant is having shirts printed

I emailed their publicist to see if she can get me one.

ok I watched a little of their video and the music kind of has a korn vibe too?

I actually kinda like this. Not in a way that I would listen to it ever, but I don't think it's the worst. I'm happy for these people and their midwestern blend of Christianity, hip-hop, and triple-threat fiddle.

I don't care if you like the jazz or the violins, the rap automatically elevates it to like worst thing of all time

I'm debating whether to put the Zeal & Ardor song I heard on here. It actually isn't a poorly-done song and works pretty well for what it is, but the story behind the dude's music and the choices he made in putting together makes "Devil Is Fine" the most viscerally-repellent thing I've heard so far this year that wasn't by Drake.

Yeah, this interview is kinda mind-blowing, especially when the interviewer (who posts on ILM very, very, very occasionally) says, "Wait, did I hear that right?"

this came out last year but unfortunately it is still terrorizing the airwaves and actually starting to cross over somewhat (from alternative to adult pop radio). unfortunately i've had to hear it a million times b/c some ppl i work w/ for whatever reason actually enjoy the sad state of today's alternative radio.
