Another example of someone not understanding that Stipe's songs were character sketches in that R.E.M. blurb.

Oh, Chris (and all y'all that sold Monster back because you didn't like it), HOW COULD YOU!?!?!?

Tho I do think he addresses the persona issue (cf. "raping Cobain's room temperature corpse").

I await an enlightening and enthralling po-faced rebuttal, Mr. E.

I guess I'm assuming Ott (like many) didn't get that those songs are meant to be (kind of amusing, I think) character sketches because ... he apparently doesn't find them very funny!

Head to the hits comp for everything you'll need from this tepid, repetitive bore (and from Technique, for that matter).

some dude, Sunday, 18 August 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link

a guy calling himself Shallow Rewards proclaiming "I make $94k base, with full bennies" like it's the most swagged out boast ever made is just too perfect.

i don't know what's more surprising, that this wealthy, charming individual couldn't convince people to pay for his book about Sugar Ray or that he couldn't pay for it himself

Hey a vimeo raconteur got $2k in pre-orders for an alt-rock Fear And Projected Self-Loathing, don't hate
