It's why I've stayed the fuck out of the Notes on a Conditional Form thread since that aggravating shit he tweeted around the start of the pandemic.

 

Phoebe hasn’t posted about Pinegrove in a while though from what I have seen, so maybe her position has changed. Matty Healy though, if they’re his “favorite band” I doubt he’ll ever stop posting about them.

 

"maybe her position has changed" you dumbass, be consistent

 

My point was just maybe she got more information and knows not to support them anymore. Obviously I could be wrong, but it’s been a while since she’s said anything about them which is good.

 

sorry the "dumbass" thing was out of line, i just hate speculating on an artist's silence, like anything could be anything

 

and for most ppl the pitchfork article will be the official narrative about pinegrove which sucks ass but i like... can't cancel anyone over it, personally

 

I can't help but think it's selective outrage. I mean, The Beatles have an active topic on this forum, and with John Lennon they are hell of a lot more problematic than Pinegrove. I guess because the abuse happened decades ago it doesn't matter as much?

 

It's absolutely appropriate to discuss the actions of bands from that time period because a lot of them were very problematic. That being said, Pinegrove still has an active platform from which they can harm more people. John Lennon does not.

 

Its not selective outrage. There are plenty of known abusers that are active topics on this board. Also just because you think what John Lennon did was worse means we can't discuss whats problematic about pinegrove?

 

I think it falls back to what most people think around here: if you want to listen to problematic artists, fine. Just don’t post about it. Especially when you write a song about them being problematic.

 

Everyone listen to Great Grandpa they are the best

 

well,

 

I am?!

 

lol hi Bri

 

I sure am! I use a toothbrush to clean mine. Wbu?

 

I know you can't judge a book by its cover but this is uh... surprising.
Been a while since I've listened to her but just based on her sound I wouldn't have placed her in the MAGA /pol/ circle.

 

Yvette :/

 

Fuck bow wow and meek mills

 

stupid selfish idiots with no self awareness or maybe they just don’t care. I swear some people live on a different planet than the rest of us.

 

As someone who works in the hospitality industry and has had to work throughout the whole pandemic while trying to stay safe, I can tell you it is definitely the latter. They just don't give a shit, and that's why we all feel like this pandemic will never fucking end.

I'm also in Houston, where it blows my mind how many people are just going about their daily lives like the pandemic disappeared. I'm sure some of the clowns that attended these events this past weekend stayed at my hotel too, which is even scarier. *goes immediately to sanitize every surface I walk by*.

 

Not specifically music related, but since it's Mark Trombino and all their donuts are named after bands, I'd say it's relevant. They still work with a lot of bands for cross promotion.

 

I don't think I've ever heard anything about Donut Friend (to this day) except through music and people in music so I think this is perfectly appropriate for this thread, personally. Just my two cents.

Union busting is despicable. And to do it now, of all times... nope.

 

Oh, fuck them. That’s a shame. I liked that place

EDIT: To clarify, “fuck them” as in fuck Donut Friend and Mark Trombino
