@magalis the witnesses also claimed to have seen a silver ship thing, with rainbow colored exhaust. But again, just the witnesses. Definitely a touch more sci-fi than other goblin tales. But! I do think that makes for a good explanation about the case's pop culture second life. Just shoved under the umbrella of Goblin stories.

Ok, Ludwig has surprised me before, but the other two. They are both like the most boring voices in interesting musical spaces. And like, James Blake's stuff is boring in a way that's congruent with his image. He dresses the part of English guy who does an electronic twist on boring singer songwriter music. But Travis Scott, his whole image is supposed to be the bad boy, they RAGE guy. And so much of his music is just like, the soundtrack to being couchlocked because you got too crossfaded. And he brings that energy to the tracks that should be moshable, so they never connect. Like if I enjoy a Travis Scott song it's because someone else shows up to save it. His behind the scenes presence is often welcome, but I just do not get the appeal of him as a frontman.

I don't know what the kids like with rap music nowadays, but I feel like you can't be going around with a name like Jacque or Webster. There was a kid with a surname of Webster growing up, and that kid got ratioed on the playground. I also threw him under the bus. I looked urkel y in a way I needed to find someone to distract.

But he absolutely does care. No one has mastered the art of the fake hit like Travis Scott. Do you remember 4x4? Of course you don't. But it was a number one hit THIS YEAR. Because Travis Scott wants that chart validation and has mastered every trick in the book to exploit Billboard's rules. Travis technically has more number one hits than Jay-Z and the average person maybe knows one of them.
