    jfc I know you're British but there's no excuse for thinking OITNB was a top tier TV series.

    Camila Cabello

    TBF I don't know how well they've hit with the UK partially because you folks have Little Mix which is vastly more successful in your nation than Fifth are in mine.

    Camila Cabello

    They did an album this year but as a result of the inevitable purge, they're splintering into solo careers so I presume the group is now on indefinite hiatus pending any inquiry to them... Of the remaining girls, Lauren and Normani are favorites of mine and both have collaborated with Ty Dolla...

    Camila Cabello

    Eh, she's not the best singer, she was just constantly featured on singles going out of her way to oversing and do vocal runs whenever it wasn't demanded at all. Management spent every waking minute after the first album trying to make her ready for a solo jump.

    Bob Marley.

    I mean genre reappraisal doesn't exist in the 'normal world' to a degree. Disco just conventionally sucks, rock is essentially good, etc. etc. I get what padraig is saying about how these aren't necessities to go about living and thinking for individuals but at the same time there's sort of...

    Bob Marley.

    There was a Bob Dylan thread here already eons ago. For the record, my perspective was that John said because there is a sort of cultural inflation of Bob and The Beatles similarly that kind of tokenizes them into a personality accessory, it takes a conscious effort to go back and reappraise...

    Bob Marley.

    For the record that's two good LPs for Scratch in which, there's a whole team of people responsible. This is Auteurism. It's like how Mark Romanek zoomed off the strength of having Escoffier as a cinematographer and stealing good ideas from other directors for his music videos but then when...

    Bob Marley.

    I react more strongly to films being the college dorm staple than I do music so while say... Scarface is the Bob Marley Poster of films (which is an odd sort of yin-yang right there), I don't let my appreciation for Bob get tampered by the demystification and perverseness. If you want to say...

    Bob Marley.

    Well he isn't great because he's exciting to be honest. It's very much a wallow, but a good wallow. A wading, an immersion effect. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gAFbYTvXXyY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Half of it isn't actually good though.

    what are you reading now?

    I'm trying to finish a book on Lucha Libre this weekend and last week I went through the Xenofeminism Manifesto.

    K-Pop

    I don't have the knowledge for that and I don't want it! The people who get the knowledge tend to be obsessive and abrasive about their knowledge. It's better just to gauge things in the dives. Just bear witness to the tunes. The experts will try to tell you some useless group with half a single...

    why is experimental electronic

    Nah, technically it first gets conceptualized by a (probably) racist British Band Venom and then it gets imported all over Europe and the US. Norwegians made it 'popular' though. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/57NY_xUWsFY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay...
