I disagree with many of his takes but, in my opinion, he is still one of the more intelligent music critics out there. (and I do agree with him often) He does infuse politics into the sphere of music, which I (sorta) understand. One’s personal appreciation of art and music is determined by their experience in life, and how they apply that experience to that of a particular artist. I definitely don’t agree with his political views but I still appreciate his honesty.
Cool!
Painful to listen to, even worse to look at. Classic libtard. Give it up.
In all seriousness it’s crazy how much effort he puts into theneedledrop as a name and bless him because I am so grateful for the amazing music he has introduced me to.
Quite introspective
