I do. I think you or someone rec’d them to me earlier this year, that’s what got me started!

Throughout my career of investigating conspiracies and government cover-ups I’ve never encountered the name Nicole Dollanganger before.
I’ll be sure to keep my eyes out from now on, however. Do you think there might be a link to the JFK assassination?

Stereogum actually did cover the 5 song sampler at the beginning of the year:
https://www.stereogum.com/1989350/hear-5-songs-from-nicole-dollangangers-new-album-heart-shaped-bed/music/

And several of us have been anticipating this album (and writing about it in the comments) for a while now.

Same. Have been looking forward to this album all year, but then thought “Oh, she’s still doing the romanticized incest thing. I guess that is just her shtick.” I guess we shouldn’t be surprised about this when she takes Dollanganger as a stage name.

“I’m not an ally, I’m a woman” would be a rad song title.

Yes, pleeeeease get rid of AirTV!!!! It really cheapens the vibe around here.

You listen to Times New Viking?

“American Tradition” is my favourite. This song is like reading a good book on a lazy summer morning, with your purring cat and a glass of lemonade.

Look, as far as I can tell, no one really questions things on a broad level like I do. That’s cool. Just be fair when you come after me. I can handle it. I may not be always be right but I’m willing to accept that. Use evidence facts and I won’t argue.

Upvoted. Not sure why I would have gotten the idea that “William” is a female. Look, my cynicism is not gender based. Just have a look and see my history. I like to mix it up and play the contrarian, what ever the case, that’s all. Don’t take it personally.

I’m not an ally, I’m a woman, dumbass.

Peace.

Underrated comment

Ugh that AirTV is garbage yeah — it plays automatically when a YouTube ends. I *think* the company is getting rid of it soon. I hope.

I think it was on the latest Beirut video.
I had played the beirut video, had maybe paused it? and then later that AirTV video started playing what seemed like by itself.

Can you tell me where was there an autoplay video w/ audio exactly? There shouldn’t be any autoplay audio unless you click…

No one ever accused me of having decorum. 😉

I fucking love you for saying all the shit I wanted to say but am FAR too reserved (and, frankly, too chickenshit) to do. I’ve been wary since the “afterschool project” thing.

I’m a filthy whore for distortion so that disappoints me but otherwise I’m excited to give this a listen later.

Bro you’re sexist af. Your presence in this commentariat is lowkey radiation. It’s been this way since you got here. Remember that several months where you went into every article about sexual assault to be a handwringing devil’s advocate? Or how you suspect Lily Allen of talking about her sexual assault as a way to sell books? Or how it’s super cool to date 16 year-olds? Stanning Jordan Peterson? Referring to a collab between three songwriters as “a girl’s cute afterschool project”?

Yes, you do question the coverage of women a lot on here, although it’s nice to say this is a sponsored piece instead of just that she’s pretty or married to someone famous like you’ve said about other women. Really mixing it up with your conspiracies here. There is a very particular tack you take when there’s coverage of women on here that differs from the way you talk about men. You’re just a garden variety “free thinker” dudebro who doesn’t want to engage with people disagreeing with you enough to understand their arguments but wants all the credit for being a contrarian.

And if you think my issues are just with your skepticism, and not with the double standards you apply to women and your constant rape apologia, plus your tedious commitment to lording your faux enlightenment over us sheeples, then you’re clearly too busy trying to read the nothing between the lines than to see the actual text in front of you.

Please leave. Sincerely, one libertarian conspiracy theorist to another.

Hmmmm…

Sounds like something someone trying to cover up a conspiracy would say.

But seriously Roland, because this isn’t the first time. Let us disabuse you of this notion. You do not have a finely honed sixth sense for this kind of thing. To the contrary.

damn we forgot to give roland1824 a heads up about this profile

> it is certainly a favor to PR

You have no idea what you are talking about, sorry roland

Too much buzz all of sudden can be a shock to the system, I understand. It’s recommended one is exposed to at least three weeks of warm-up buzz before a full buzz like this one.

1. Pitchfork doesn’t review a LOT of stuff, man.
2. I suggest reading up on her elsewhere. Not only does she have more than one “middling EP” to her name, she has a decent following in here. She isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but she’s hardly a nobody.
3. Stereogum publishes long-form interviews and features on folks like this all the time.

“And my skepticism usually pretty precise and decently informed.”

There’s a mole at Stereogum.com and I won’t stop until I find out who it is!!!!!

You are forever in debt to their priceless advice.

He also habitually likes to credit the coverage of women on this blog to factors aside from their music. Run of the mill “rational thinker” dude not committed enough for the tin hat imo.

roland1824, I gather you think Stereogum functions as part of a broad conspiracy and your tone often suggests a vague, naive scepticism. But what exactly do you think is going on? I have trouble following.

I was there when I was a kid and I wanted to go in the heart shaped pool but my parents wouldn’t let us
