I think a lot of the enjoyment in Father John Misty is accepting the premise. FJM is one of my favorite artist of the past 10 years. His schtick bothers many but his songwriting, in my opinion is above reproach. I have seen him on tour and he puts on a great live show. The only difference between FJM's persona and that of many other rock stars is that he is overtly open about the fact that his persona is largely put upon. His honesty about his fakeness makes people understandably question his authenticity. What's strange to me is that people look at David Bowie or Bob Dylan both of whom are showmen that cultivated persona's around their art and easily accept it all without issue but when it's FJM he is a phony pretentious ass. I think pop music is a bit like pro wrestling. For some, once they find out that its not real they can't enjoy it but for others they can either look past it and enjoy the sheer spectacle of it all or at the very least, are having such a good time with it all they don't really care.

Well put. He's probably one of my top 3 favorite artists of the 2010s (along with Grimes and Beach House). I know his cynicism rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but he's (dare I say objectively?) a great vocalist and lyricist.

I probably spend the same amount as I did before the VMP forum was strangled in its bed in the middle of the night, just not at VMP

Same, I’m just getting music I know I’ll like now instead of getting stuff I think there’s a chance I might possibly like because, well... everyone is obviously liking it. That train of though has bitten me the butt a few times.
 
just found out we now know that the tracklisting for the fader compilation is

The 1975 - Somebody Else
Rico Nasty - Won't Change
Young Thug - 2 Bitches (Danny Glover)
Santi - Raining Outside
Angel Olsen - Shut Up Kiss Me
Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen
Megan Thee Stallion - Money Good
Kelela - Rare Essence_Tma_83 Bpm (remix of TMA by Rare Essence)
Phoebe Bridgers - Funeral

now are these 9 tracks worth 35 bucks for you?

and if not is getting a magazine that already has the cover stories online in a link on the VMP page persuade you more

This makes the record only 32 minutes long. Also, how big exactly is the crossover audience between Young Thug and Angel Olsen?
 
Would one of you fine people help me out re: The Rolling Stones talk? It’s my understanding that there will be a Let it Bleed release? Is it supposed to be different that the 50th anniversary version that Barnes and Noble (And others) are selling on preorder for November 1? Thanks!

No one knows yet aside from it's coming sometime this week. Everything else is speculation from what I recall. But maybe I missed something.
