Did anyone else grab the new Death Grips when they leaked it the other day?


i am listening right now . . . and im losing my mind.  am i on acid?  am i on the planet earth?



So I decided to give death grips a try and I have to say Walky was spot on with this review.
not sure I'm in the 'save killsaly' club.  But, I there might be deeper meaning with this recommendation and his quick departure from the board. If your listening, we hear your cries

A bit surprised you guys glossed over this.

He makes a few valid points but his being a dick about it gets in the way of them. The ads all over sites like Pitchfork, Stereogogm and BV are probably partially why we have to scroll over so much "OMG lulz Steve Albini called Amanda Palmer an idiot!" nonsense and Lana Del Rae coverage, for instance. That shit gets clicks. He could've picked a much guiltier person to call out, though. Liz Pelly is the one music writer who decided to start an ad-free website this year and based on articles I've read of hers in the past, I doubt any of the advertisers on any of the sites she wrote for had anything to do with what she wrote.

Worth the view…although he is a little cocky

I do like a good amount of his other videos. The ones on shoegaze and 4AD especially.

Vampire Weekend and Arcade Fire? I doubt many young people are listening to either of those.

I think Tom Scharpling retweeted it.

I had caught Kim Gordon's retweet. Michael Schein (@MichaelSchein1), a little known digital PR dude that Gordon does not follow, had tweeted it in reply to someone else.
