booms528 69 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The music was always some degree of cheesy, but it was fun escapism for a while and I always thought they were fun to see live.... Really sucks that he is such a db, though I'm definitely not shocked. Hopefully he'll just disappear forever and not make a bad situation worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like how a third person apology is also a sob story by the second sentence. There's no way he didn't write that himself. I'm glad he wasn't completely oblivious to the fact people thought his "fake music persona" was fucking weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the last LP and the quiet slang stuff wasn’t good. In fact you could probably halve the first two lps into one good one by cutting out some filler. It’s not a catalog i really revisit. And then shit like this happens and it’s like “well what do I do with this shit?” And I feel like that’s been happening a lot lately. YouLoveHisWife 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically acknowledging everything that was said and how it had been going on even in the days of Weston. Jesse also said that he no longer wishes to speak to James or the drummer Jeremiah, because apparently that dude has some alt-right leanings. The drummer made his own statement today, trying to call out Jesse for supporting James musically. It’s a whole mess of drama Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the laziest writing I’ve heard in awhile. While completely their call, polyvinyl pulling his titles seems a bit extreme. Everything I’ve read convicts him of being nothing more than a total fuck. No Ryan Adams, Gary Glitter level shit here. Maybe I missed something or his shit wasn’t selling anymore anyway.

Maybe I missed something or his shit wasn’t selling anymore anyway. I think without a doubt James is emotionally abusive and an asshole in general. To me that’s enough for a record label to not want you to be part of their label anymore. now it means you’ll have to be consistent with that approach to everyone you sign from this point forward. But I don’t see a problem with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It worked so well I can't remember that bands name despite ordering the record haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Polyvinyl isn’t the type of label to look the other way in the pursuit of profit so this trend will be easy for them to continue. vinny0190 and diabretic 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
