Saturday, September 5, 2015 4:08 PM I Love Music Thread: What acts have had a huge selling album and the follow up sells far less yet is critically favoured by fans and music critics? had its title updated to: What acts have had a huge selling album and the follow up sells far less yet is critically favoured by fans and music critics? (Every Huge Artist Has A Tusk)

On March 27 1995, a man who made a bet with his friends sneaked into the lion’s den. The man stroked Chucha, the lioness, who did not react, but Marjan attacked the man and killed him within minutes. The following day, the man’s brother came and threw 3 hand grenades into the lion’s den, seriously injuring Marjan. His eyes had to be removed by MDM, a PSF (Pharmaciens Sans Frontières) Logistics Officer who first called for help, MSF doctors and an Italian photojournalist, thus rendering him blind, deaf, and permanently disabled. Despite several operations, neither Marjan’s eyesight nor his mouth could be saved.[1] He lost all of his teeth, making it impossible for him to eat boned meat. A ramp was also built for him to get back into his den, as he was seen falling a few times while trying to make it back inside. The incident sparked outrage with animal rights activists, local and abroad. The man who threw the grenade was violently attacked a week later, and died of injuries.

Basically everything about the NFL and NCAA football is absolutely, horribly fucked up and just about irredeemable to me at this point. To fix all the shit that I can't stand about it, the sport would likely become unrecognizable from the carrion-sucking cultural remora that it is today. So don't bother!

I happened to go down some random Internet hole this past June and got my interest piqued by League of Legends pro games - mostly because I had no idea what anybody was even SAYING, and opaque jargon fascinates me - I had to go look up about every fourth word in whatever article I was reading, which led to this whole cascade of browser tabs and no matter how much I educated myself via poorly-curated wikia sites and corporate lore pages, on some level, still none of it made any actual sense. This is kind of how I figured out that this was actually a sport. At some point there's a floor where explanation stops. It's a game! People play it! Other people, who are really good, get paid to play it! And there are losers, winners, coaches, owners, sponsors, and even dickheads and cheaters and penalties and people who fucking FAKE INJURIES so they can kill their contract and get traded to a better team. That, people, is a pursuit you can waste some ungodly amount of time paying undue attention to.

I'm done with football, even if Chip Kelly somehow pulls some kind of Kuhn-class paradigm shift out of his ass this season. It's all horrible.

12k people paid for tickets to MSG and watched the North American League of Legends finals LIVE, never you mind however many million watched online, the numbers keep thrashing other pro "actual" sports apparently - that number will not go down. The Dota 2 International was so big my bosses' boss, a retired brigadier general, was talking about the week afterward to anybody that would listen. He doesn't even play. He was just stoked that he got to root for the winners (children are the future, long story, etc). These leagues are only 4-5 years old.

This shit is just as fun to watch as any other professional team game I've paid a moment's attention to in my life. Similarly, it's largely unnecessary to understand everything that's going on in order to enjoy the game. The players get paid. Their injuries, and they do get them (shoulder, arm, neck, wrist, mostly RSI, as far as I can tell) are recoverable with physiotherapy and rest. The collegiate players (yes) get to take home their tournament shares. The work, effort, and observably sublime "these people are not like you and me" skills are real. The teams and their leagues aren't completely given over to cronyism yet. The "casting" - especially for League - is just as good as you'd get watching any other pro sport, probably better in many cases. Lastly, I found a couple of nascent sabermetrics geek communities where people are already trying to figure out what the VORP / DYAR etc is for these games. It's all there!!! minus dan snyder and permanent brain damage and "student-athletes." OK, there's no player's union yet, although that hasn't exactly improved the sports where such a thing exists, and certainly hasn't crippled the ones where it doesn't.

This is a thread for asking me how you too can get excited about how complicated computer games played by people who call themselves things like "ZionSpartan" and "LemonNation" are going to eclipse complicated shoving contests played by people who call themselves "r3dsk1ns."

I suppose you could argue that the Age UK angle makes this year's JL *slightly* more newsworthy in its own right, but there's something particularly grim about leveraging people's rational fears about old age and loneliness and using them to sell a load of shit, especially in the current political climate, even if you are giving some of the cash to charity at the end of it. And that's even the case with a cuddly mutual like John Lewis of which I essentially approve. It certainly shouldn't be covered uncritically.

Ultimately the desire to manipulate people into buying shit is what's kept non-BBC journalists in work for generations. The primary function of the NME has always been to make money for IPC by selling access to people who are into music. People don't like this stuff being laid bare (cf that Conde Nast statement the other month), but from the NME's heyday through to the advent of the internet the two sides were able to rub along well enough because there was self-evidently a market for music writing (plus the news and the gig guide and other actually useful things). Now there are apps and services that fulfil the utilitarian aspect better, and there isn't really any reason for good music writing to exist within "the market" any more. The result is you end up with crap like that Windows article propping up a magazine that there would no longer be any reason to invent if it didn't already exist. And all the time the NME were sitting around wondering how to make digital advertising pay and how much advertorial they could sell to Microsoft, someone else went and invented Songkick and completely ate up a space they could have owned.

This album is absolutely incredible on headphones, there's so much detail lurking in there even among the minimal arpeggiated Snooze For Love one.

What this reminds me of more than anything is a Hatchback album, that sense of something beautiful unfolding very slowly and just luxuriating in it throughout. I like it a lot more than his more dancefloor oriented singles because his slightly wonky approach to rhythm works much better in this context.

The missing link is Oasis, which goes to show how tiny the gap is between NME and Middle England festive retail mawk these days.
