thread of SZA

by first record, do you mean ctrl, or z, because ctrl was a triple-platinum, massively critically acclaimed hit album and z came out nearly a decade ago, at this point

i assume you mean ctrl. i remember when i first became aware of her she still seemed slightly under the radar for most -- i planned to go to her concert at a theater later in the year but didn't buy a ticket then. checked again after a few months (she had started getting traction on radio) and a second date had been added and they were both sold out. the album had tremendous legs so when sos launched she was well positioned to blow up even more, hence the upgrade to arenas etc.

Yeah, I meant "ctrl," sorry. It was the Concord Music Hall here in December 2017, about 1000 or so capacity. The next time she played Chicago was February 2023 at a very sold out United Center.

surely we can hold ourselves to a higher standard when it comes to thread revives…

idk learning there's an IU stats prof cosplaying as Christgau on substack is kind of what ilm is for

lol I know him from a couple other message boards. Nice guy.

the xgau shtick is not for me, but in all sincerity, it's always nice to be reminded that people contain multitudes

Harold Bloom never got to write The Perfidy of Influence.
