Sat next to Thundercat at a Steely Dan show at Hollywood Bowl. Dude was on his feet the entire show, knew every word to every song and smelled great!

Which Law and Order cast would you most like to see crack the United Healthcare case? Betting Brisco finds the hitman, McCoy ends up with a hung jury bc everyone hates insurance companies.

Chappell Roan's album coming out in 2023 but killing it in 2024 is really messing with year-end LP lists.

There is definitely streaming fraud/spam that goes on. I've heard about it most extensively re small labels/artists who game the system using bots (and more recently, use AI to generate songs in bulk). Stands to reason that the majors would practice the dark arts, too.

I'm guessing (purely guessing) that a) Drake wants out of his UMG contract, and b) maybe with Grammy final-round voting starting soon, he wants to besmirch "Not Like Us." The thought of that song winning for Record or Song of the Year must totally freak him out.

I think it's a moot point. The song was a legitimate monster hit. All the payola in the world can't mint that.

Even so, feels like when Trump makes some nonsense claim about someone else that's obviously a self-own.

Maybe not the best use of my first post here, but ohmygod, that Vanity Fair piece from the Cormac McCarthy fanboy may well be the worst thing I've ever read (morally, journalistically).
