i was saying the other day everything that disgusts me about The New Yorker Literature delights me in song form when done by the Paul Simon

 

[luka]

probably the greatest musical artist of our times. if your dad was a boomer he probably played Graceland on repeat in the car all through your childhood.

 

[luka]

 

[luka]

the only artist who is universally loved, no one has a bad word to say about him, they all prostrate themselves before his golden altar

 

[woops]

Gus also had a slogan jumper that proclaimed "I RESPECT ALL DIALECTICS ESPECIALLY YOURS"

 

[bun-u]

I’m a bit older then you so this is the one that got rinsed by my parents in our household

 

[luka]

he doesnt look very good there. almost like a Baudelaire that didn't do the dissipation. a straight edge Baudelaire.

now THIS is bullshit i know people have had bad things to say about Simon

The fact he thought breaking the Aparthied rules was his way of helping and getting the musicians out there is so naieve, now that i think about it it's very Drake cause that's what Drake "thought" he was doing when doing tunes with Black Coffee and Headie One giving them the biggest platform possible to draw peoples attention to them, when really all they want to see is him.

[luka]

i have to admit i prefer the Lidl version

still god man Paul Simon and The Police you like that early 80s faux "world music" shit don't you?

All the wonderful textures and rhythms of indigeouns foreign music but it's refracted through the lens of the coloniser so it doesn't get too far out there and off putting
