Woah

Also where is ott pulling down 94k?

Not counting the value of the free trucker speed he apparently gets

Bragging about a 94k salary is like bragging about your 5.9-inch penis

angry dude

Wow dude's not changed at all.

what's the other famous ott boast? i forget it now

i was looking at this last night and just

doesn't ed droste come from family money anyways?

Damn how much do they pay you guys at spin?

Benny's

he's still going

this thread has some hot Ott action: Village Voice's F2K

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.

Look it's 6 inches if I measure from the base of my Benny

every generation gets the lester bangs/lou reed it deserves

except this time it's the critic on stage ranting about toefuckers

"critic"?

fine, vlogger

actually, i stand by critic. it's 2013, vimeo counts.

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

all around the world statues crumble for me

and doing all that with a day job, three kids and an addiction to bennies? again, we have no reason to mock.

ott works in IT i'm pretty sure

disappointed droste didn't clap back, this had the makings of a classic beef

If love's what you got, don't startle a wry Ott

remember that

we gotta get this guy back on ilx

ott was really pulling off dom passantino style turning retorts into ufc chokehold maneuvers

lol

"whaddya do this weekend?"

"took down a grizzly!"

how does droste come off the top rope at big perp but let ott just pummel him into submission? https://twitter.com/edwarddroste/status/276065588344942592

omg

"I am more middle class than you!"

yeah why would droste take perpetua more seriously than ott whatta mystery

you think he knows who either of them are?

i think he knows who both of them are

i'm not up on indie rock twitter maybe i'm underestimating the degree of familiarity bw artists & critics but like i just assume no one outside of ilx is that in-tune

Droste is particularly up on the indie rock writing circle jerk

94k with benefits in IT, be still my heart.

perp's the music 'editor' at buzzfeed so i could see droste being familiar if only thru 'jesus christ look at this garbage' posts on facebook. he's probably old enough to remember when ott was a critic also.

in the northeast no less, i mean how did he swing that.

there's always a need for those guys who come around and look at your computer when it freezes and tell you to reinstall windows

I want 94k and bennies :(

Actually I'm fortunate to have good bennies, I asked em right up front in the interview "Say buddy boy, before we make this official, I gotta know what kinda bennies you got around here.."
