so youre saying that its technically possible that gorillaz, as a band, without even the musicians knowing it, is an operation designed to make music boring and homogenous. and im saying that if thats the case then its a total failure because the music is pretty good and extremely diverse. just so you understand

no it was designed to be art made by a team of people where the owners of the brand can control the brand and use it in advertising however they want no matter what any/all of the artists or people around them want

dont tell me the cia killed kennedy because historically, rogue elements of a state frequently depose rulers and have to do so via subterfuge so as to maintain their positions. tell me about the other oswald. post citations or even speculation or shut the gently caress up

I now want to try unfolding these chairs like this.

Also all this talk of the talents being compromised when all you need to do is compromise the labels and producers and let their absolute control of the industry filter down to the help talent. Easy since they already have the appropriate class consciousness.

Maybe because I’m a weepy Millennial who remembers what it was like to lose touch with people after our wedding, or when your roommate gets married and moves out, or any of the other stuff the show seemed to really understand

That said, I agree with Remember Shuffle that Ted isn’t romantic, he’s running through the women of NYC ruining their lives to fill a hole in his heart, and a lot of those women getting shafted is too much of a punchline

Sometimes the help talent gets bigger than the labels and producers, IMO. Your Jerry Seinfelds and Larry Davids become indispensable to a huge brand, so they have to be brought in on it. It's better to anticipate that this could happen and make sure they're planted and in on it in the first place. And then either compromised, compromisable, or paid extremely well to keep quiet, or all three. When they slip up it'd sound like the above Simpsons anecdote about cultural programming, in the context of that one Ben Garrison cartoon.

there's this series of TikTok videos that traces a celebrity's looks throughout their career, so you see Marisa Tomei in 1984, 1986, 1992, and so on and so forth until Spiderman in 2021

or Charlize Theron in The Devil's Advocate in 1997, then Mighty Joe Young in 1998, and so on and so forth until The Old Guard in 2020

and then they do a piece on Jennifer Connelly and it starts in 1985

Its the on-going problem with conflating crunchy vibes and drug use with an actual thoughtful politics. I feel like Boots specifically would know the difference, but then again the aesthetics of hippiedom and what they signify are pretty entrenched, at least in The West.

Either he really doesnt know (kinda doubt it) or he's just using the signifier as a discursive shortcut.

Read before credible article that they were an op. The song Winds of Change was handed to them by the CIA. Apt considering the first time I heard it was in the TV show Chuck which followed CIA protanganists.
