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

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.

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.."

I imagine that after a wife and three kids and a mortgage and car insurance, 94k will probably go about as far as a kid freelancing blog posts for Noisey or band signed to Underwater Peoples

you can't be surprised that someone who thinks 'dom passantino style' is something to aspire to would think that

He started baiting Ed saying "I'm happier than you because I have a family" and Ed said "I'm gay" and Ott said "why are you suggesting that homosexuals cannot start families" and "are you coming on to me" plus "I fathered my children in a natural way" followed by "you're a Nazi". Ed is my bud and I'll always be on his side regardless but I thought he handled this idiotic motherfucker with an exceptional amount of dignity
