  1. The only good Gnarls Barkley thing that exists is their live cover of "Reckoner" and now both bands as re kind of cooked

  7. Yes, but I believe that was nearly a decade ago. I don't really think they've learned much from it (even Yorke walking things back recently only seems due to extreme backlash), but I also feel like it's probably worth noting it was some time ago.

    I hope this isn't the end for them...I'd love to see what a punk festival comprised entirely of MAGA artists looks like.

  13. Why on Earth would ICE want to use the 1997 song "Let Down" by Radiohead for literally anything, lmao. So bizarre

    missing torsos keep quiet

    Most of those involved in making decisions like this know very well the artists involved will be pissed off and either don't care or actively take delight in even the most tenuous "owning the libs"

    Forgive my ignorance, but I read that and don’t really know what the allegations are.

    It's definitely purple prose, but he is accused of grooming the author

    i don’t want to come across as insensitive or dismissive, but i read that twice and it sounds like someone who is very unwell mentally more than it is any kind of meaningful or substantive allegations
     
  21. Yeah, the part about Bazan feeding Gia Margaret this person's private information just so she can make passing references to it online for an undetermined purpose seems... well, it sounds like what a lot of folks describe as gangstalking. Pretty bizarre.

    I must now go to the source Supporter

    You know….a few years back I mentioned my love for David Bazan and Pedro the Lion to a friend of mine who works in the film industry. He’s got a lot of friends who are musicians and when I mentioned David, he paused and told me he’d heard bad things from a female friend of his. Said that she was touring with him and one night she woke up on the couch and David was just sitting there staring at her. All I remember is that he offered her some excuse about what he was doing, but she was deeply uncomfortable and tried to stay away from him. That’s all I remember from the story and it certainly gave me some pause at the time, but reading this above story now, god I don’t know what to think. David meant a lot to me many years ago when I was deconstructing and feeling very isolated and lonely. Feels more and more like I should listen to people who tell me not to have heroes.

    It takes strength to be gentle and kind Supporter

    Yeah, I’ve seen him live more than any other artists. Was super into him for many years. Every time I’ve seen him since his divorce, he’s just stoned and his on stage banter is bullying and mean. I remember he said talked about how there was someone who “punished” him at the show the night before in thr audience. Like called this person out on mic. I couldn’t believe it. Like this was a paying fan who loves your music, that’s so shitty

  24. this stuff sounds weird at best and pretty concerning at worst/most realistic but just to be clear a fan paying to attend a show does not entitle them to be a pest to the artist lol

    Doesn’t he tour with a ton of living room shows with fans inviting him into their homes too or do I have him confused with someone else?
