The new single had plenty of choice lines such as, “Your game is tired, you should retire, you’re about cute as an old coupon expired. And karma’s not a liar, she keeps receipts.”

What. The fuck, she is a professional.

That's a 12 year old suburban white chick trying to rap battle. That makes sex junk look like Shakespeare

If you're watching Katy Perry for anything other than cleavage or side boob, you're doing it wrong.

Man she is not attractive. She's the pinnacle of mediocrity

 

[Kbiz]

She shouldn't have cut her hair. The beibs looks bad on her...she doesn't have an angular enough / naturally pretty face.

Like dem bewbs doe.

Very English sounding

He's obviously talented. Song writing is above par.

It's lugubrious. I would have arranged the chorus differently and the verse vocal line could be better too. Not my cup of tea, but that's subjective

In what could be seen as a touching reminder that the warm, mind-numbing embrace of pop culture detritus extends to all, regardless of political affiliation, Ohio governor John Kasich hopped on The View this week to lay out his useless trivia bona fides. Specifically—and to the delight of the show’s hosts—Kasich gave a surprisingly detailed breakdown of the ongoing Taylor Swift-Katy Perry feud, which even now threatens to overwhelm the pop culture world in waves of meaningless conflict.

Yeesh.

This is what happens when you turn politics into pop culture.

As it turns out he has teenage daughters so I imagine he knows more about this shit than he wants to.

Oh, and he totally isn't running for POTUS in 2020.

This might be their best single since The Pretender, IMO. Definitely better than anything off of Sonic Highways.

Arcade Fire has released two really good singles these past few weeks. One of the few bands that can create a dance song with such depressing lyrics. Be warned, don't watch if you have epilepsy.

Grave digging old threads, but it seemed appropriate.

Lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, is dead. Suicide at 41.

Say what you want about nu-metal of the late 90s and 00s, but I've always felt Linkin Park were the best of the bunch. Haven't heard any newer stuff, but "Faint" continues to be one of my favorite alternative songs.

Saw them back in '07 at Blossom for the "Project Revolution" tour, and if you weren't a fan their live show would certainly win over the most staunch detractor. A whole day of a festival, and they still put on well over 90 minutes of live music.

Playing some Hybrid Theory today.

Wow. That is shocking.

Hybrid Theroy was revolutionary. If I recall it was the highest selling album of the decade for quite some time. Changed my life for sure. It was my 1st CD purchase.

Meteora was pretty good but they fell off outside of a few hits.

I often find it hard to mourn for those who have taken their life. My prayers are with his kids in this difficult time.
