"He managed to close the distance between himself and his fans enough by using social media that not only is he a type of guy his fans might know, he feels like he is someone they know. The guys in the 1975 weren’t the first to use social media to make their fans feel like a part of the world they live in – the concept of parasociality isn’t that new – but they did it well from the beginning. Over the years it’s become obvious that centering their fans in the way that built their early success is something Healy flips between being grateful for and resenting, but it’s not something they can take back. It’s Pandora’s box. It’s selling your soul to the devil."

— Miranda Reinert for Stereogum, “The 1975 Turns 10” (8/31/23)

"...The song’s particular alignment of brisk drum programming, fuzzed-out guitar crunch, buzzy keyboard melodies, and rousing vocal hooks has me standing on the rooftops shouting out, “Baby, I’m ready to go!”..." -Stereogum on "True Religion"

The Soft Pink Truth – “The Anal Staircase” (Coil Cover)

Ticketmaster and Live Nation, the gigantic corporations that merged in 2010 and now dominate the US ticketing and live events industry, have been widely hated for years. Recently, the US government has been turning up the heat on them. The Taylor Swift ticketing fiasco had senators quoting song lyrics during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in January, and a month ago the companies agreed to “all-in” pricing at a White House meeting, meaning they’ll no longer charge hidden fees not listed as part of the purchase price. Now the Justice Department is sharpening its knives.

Politico reports that the DOJ intends to file an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster before the end of the year, as affirmed by three sources with knowledge of the matter. According to those sources, the lawsuit is not 100% guaranteed to move forward. Prosecutors will already be busy this fall with cases against Google and the JetBlue-Spirit merger scheduled for September and October respectively, and they’re finishing up investigations into companies including Apple, Visa, and Adobe. But if filed, an antitrust case against Live Nation could lead to the breakup of the company — bad news for the company’s president, Joe Berchtold, pictured above.

Lol! A friend just alerted me to this. Look whose Instagram post is featured in this Stereogum article! ME! 😂 They even included my updated “Diarrhea Song” lyrics 🤣

Update: Looks like Stereogum removed my post from their article. They’re no fun! 😤 I probably should have kept quite about the Diarrhea Song lyrics 😏 At least I took a screenshot 🤷🏼‍♀️😤
