you should be in that same mode and really content to drink whatever a friend hands you
this is dangerous advice

yeah, I realize this isn't why this was posted here but there are a lot of asides along these lines ("don’t stress it, drink whatever ends up in your cup") that makes it... very clear this was written by "passionate millennial males" hopefully for them too. it seems especially weird given that RAINN is a partner and "don't take an eye off your drink, ever" is drilled into every girl's brain from like age 12

So with introduction of the not especially well named Levels --- is this a sort of muffler for the inordinate amount of hip-hop that has topped the end of the year lists the past couple, maybe?

seems like there's been in uptick in number of hip hop reviews-- 146 so far this year. Nearly as many as they did in the entirety of 2015 (156)

This strikes me as perhaps not the classiest of headlines:
Aretha Franklin Dead: Paul McCartney, Chance the Rapper, Diana Ross, More React
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Thursday, 16 August 2018 16:50 (six years ago) link
ugh, articles about celebs tweeting rip are the worst
― President Keyes, Thursday, 16 August 2018 16:52 (six years ago) link
though oddly the headline I see is:
Aretha Franklin Remembered: Brian Wilson, Cat Power, Missy Elliott, and More Pay Tribute
― President Keyes, Thursday, 16 August 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
it's a few articles to the right of that one, on the same row
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Thursday, 16 August 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link

it's easy to be cynical about those kinds of headlines -- i used to be -- but truthfully the average reader is going to click on them from a pure place, so you are providing a sort of service for the types of ppl who aren't on twitter 24/7

Turning back to Pfork's AB InBev-sponsored, beer-themed microsite:
I'm an enthusiastic beer drinker myself (and I have no artistic projects to promote), so I am not at all one to cast stones here; but an artist interview like this one is very strange to me: https://oct.co/essays/having-beer-japanese-breakfast (both in its essence as a beer "advertorial," and the specific topics discussed in that context).
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
(it's also somewhat amusing/interesting to me how this artist, who appears fairly young, says -- "...when I was younger, I was into beer. Like into IPAs and now I’m just like, 'Whatever.'" But that's a different, beer-specific, story.)
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Thursday, 16 August 2018 18:00 (six years ago) link
well, she formed her first band in college back in 2008
― President Keyes, Thursday, 16 August 2018 18:06 (six years ago) link
yeah - it's funny to me because when I was in my 20s, I drank the shittiest beer, and only more recently got "into IPAs," etc. And she's already over it!
― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Thursday, 16 August 2018 18:17 (six years ago) link
(I guess the craft beer craze also didn't really hit until I was out of my 20s -- but I probably wouldn't have paid $$ on "good beer" at that age, even it had been a thing.)
