The difference with BTS is that it's the fans doing the manipulation, not the labels. I don't really understand that impulse, but in an atomized age, that's what's driving popularity. BTS has the most mobilized, devoted fan army, and that's why they're winning.

Taylor Swift is (1) announcing her album drop on the same day as the One Direction 10th-anniversary thing, (2) making the indie record that circa-2012 Jake Gyllenhaal was probably bugging her to make, and (3) potentially releasing an album on the same day as Kanye West. Amazing.

Nobody really deserves a #1 hit -- deserve's got nothing to do with it -- but they're playing the same game as everyone else, and they're playing it better. BTS now have a bunch of #1 hits with virtually no radio support, and that's kind of inspiring, in a way.

My fourth grader is staying home today because he couldn't sleep last night. I'm happy to have him with me. But also: Fuck this shit.

In 2008, Pitchfork hired me and my dude @ryandombal as news writers when we got laid off from our job at a startup that never started. I lasted a couple of years. Ryan was there for 15 years, doing great work the whole time. They laid him off today. What the hell, dude.
