I don't mean to overstate the case, but Bon Iver's new album is nothing much and Tyler, The Creator's is the album of the year so why the hell, Iver, you know Keezy's friend, wants to insult Tyler's mom is beyong me.
Here is the quote (which, like the pix, I got off brooklynvegan) , from Iver: "Does a moonman mean what it did back then? Should we feel pumped when we get one? Should our mom's cry? I am not even thinking about it that hard. I will close my eyes in 90 seconds and have total peace… But, seriously. Why are we waving around so much? Why do we NEED this shit so bad?'
You know, how fucking stupid is Iver? Has he listened to TTC's album? I don't wanna patronize Tyler's Mom but why shouldn't be thrilled her son has done so much? He is the rookie of the year (next year? Ocean), and the urge is to congratulate him loud and often.
Sure MTV are scum of the world, sure it only means something for a flickering instant. But it is still a flickering instant.
