Kind of pissed they started with the fact he won awards and not that he MURDERED someone...

I suppose it's the order for which he got his fame. I don't know which outlet did it but one of them called him a flawed genius and didn't even mention the murder in the headline and it caused a stir on Twitter.

The BBC changed it when everyone pointed out that they perhaps had their priorities wrong.

The hushed reverence in the news bulletins on the radio was unbelievable.

Ah that's the one I just saw loads of Talented but flawed Doctor Harold Shipman dies or Talented but flawed Lorry driver Peter Sutcliffe dies.

Yeah that’s my take too. Murderer and musician would be Charles Manson - this wouldn’t be news if Phil Spector wasn’t a renowned producer beforehand. But big yikes to any outlet neglecting the mention of him being a murderer at all.

Similar to saying that Adolph got the trains running on time?

Good take from Snapes on auteur theory in the music industry and the ways in which it can be toxic

Excellent. Snapes is really good at doing her best to dismantle the masculine toxicity at the heart of the music industry.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
