enjoying art from an artist who is less than savory

anybody know anything about this (the guy from Massive Attack)

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/apr/11/artsfeatures.popandrock

not that it's anything, but it feels like it could go down in such a way like "the powers that b are doing a smear campaign on me because I'm too political" but then it turns out to be true. And like he does mention he did a song specifically about child abuse but now "virtue signalling" is a known thing online

^the music is pretty bad tho

i dunno, reading that article it sounds like a genuine mistake.

yeah I still think conspiracy stuff is the virtue signalling thing going on at times tho. "everybody's evil/a weirdo but me". Implicit implication that the conspiracy video guy stands against the gross stuff

Edit: oh. Who guy is like a retarded hybrid of both things

I've always loved Louis-Ferdinand Céline's writing. I've read and reread Journey to the End of the Night and Death on the Installment Plan knowing that the author was a convicted Nazi collaborator and antisemite.

  Quote

 

Céline's vocal support for the Axis powers during the Second World War and his authorship of antisemitic pamphlets has complicated his legacy as cultural icon.

There’s no need to scrap the album, just get Nickelus F to record new verses and it’ll be the best possible outcome. Antwon was lame and I watched a few Secret Circle interviews where he hogs the mic and keeps going off on obnoxious, unfunny tangents.

r kelly's new song is good- starting a verse of an emotional testimony with "I ADMIT THAT I LOVE STEVE HARVEY". what could go wrong.

B.Eno (pronounced "beano") staring out the window of his messy apartment at midday on a tuesday. he's wearing a dirty bathrobe, he hasn't shaved in many days. he looks tired. he smells like louis ck's house in the early 90s. on the screen of his laptop, surrounded by empty chip bags, are 12 tabs of monstergirl drawings. FL Studios minimized with an unfinished track "it can't go on like this", he thinks, as he sits down once more in the computer chair. New email coming in. A friend, wanting to meet up in a park that afternoon. "Sorry, working today", he replies, then gradually closes the many tabs of high saturation wacom tablet porn drawings. he stares at his desktop screen, unmoving. "it can't go on like this"

lol

Agree about Richards and Alexander though. I think the success of the show was mostly down to Larry David's writing (the success of Curb Your Enthusiasm confirms this) and the chemistry between the cast and the great side characters.

Imma gonna say it was the chemistry between Larry and Jerry as a writing team that worked really well. Some thing like a Lennon-McCartney of comedy.

You can see how they go back to that Seinfeld like banter if you watch the episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Larry David.

Curious to see how this James Gunn thing plays out. He's got a lot of people on his side, it seems, and I'll be interested to see how that changes things.

Reports of Harmon or whoever of Rick and Morty having some similar shit pop up, as well as Trevor Noah's old shit biting him in the ass again. There's other names I could mention but basically lots comedian-ish types made dirty and offensive jokes before...and this is surprising now, somehow. I wonder how many comedians' version of the aristocrats are going to suddenly pop back up. I mean, they made a whole fucking movie based on that...just what like 10-15 years ago?

James Gunn directed Super... who knew he could be so inappropriate? Jesusfucklol
