Listened to the first 8 episodes a few weeks back and liked it. I stopped because I feel like I've learned as much as I'll ever know: Not sure if Adnan did it, but don't believe he should have been convicted.

According to genius: intro by the dream, verses by Pusha, hook by A$AP and Kanye, production by J Cole and Kanye... But also, are G.O.O.D. Friday's back? I'm seeing some tweets.

Definitely my favorite song off of it. I was pretty confused by what Kanye and A$AP Rocky's contributions were as well. I think J Cole got the production credit IIRC

LCD Soundsystem reunion confirmed by P4k! Will at least play coachella: http://pitchfork.com/news/62100-lcd-soundsystem-and-guns-n-roses-to-reunite-at-coachella/

Pretty fitting that I saw Parquet Courts over the weekend: 5. Kurt Vile 4. Interpol 3. Run the Jewels 2. Portugal. The man 1. Parquet courts *slightly skewed because I have some albums saved in my phone and never go to Spotify for them

I was there too! Very confused about it just ending like that. Thought it was still an awesome show. Crowd was great

That's fair enough. I think lonerism is much better, but I still liked currents

Thanks for the list! Not sure how I would rank the top ones but I really like the Courtney Barnett album. Surprised Tame Impala didn't make it. That was one of my favorites.

Thanks! Something quick sounds like a nice change of pace. Probably like most people reading Infinite Jest this year, I started because of The End of the Tour. Have you read the David Lipsky book that's based on? I was wondering if that's worth checking out.

Finished Infinite Jest last night. It honestly has to go to the top of the list for my favorite books. Just unbelievably good. I'm contemplating re-reading the whole thing now, but I think I should hit some of his other works. Any suggestions on where to go?

So in terms of podcasts since Bill left, grantland's lost (or at least will have to alter): All BS stuff Hollywood Prospectus Food News Right Reasons Do you like Prince Movies NBA after Dark Watch the Thrones Any others I'm forgetting? That's a crazy amount of turnover.

Could not agree more

Damn, this kind of sucks. I'm glad some people are defecting but it's a real bummer about the Hollywood prospectus pod. I'll feel pretty bad for people like Lowe, Barnwell, Greenwald, and Hyden if Grantland falls off. It's a real shame for how good the site was that it wasn't allowed to continue...

Wow. I wonder who they are. Does anyone know if Simmons is going to launch another writing platform or would the staffers just be working on his podcast and show?

Billboard is saying it's definitely happening for what that's worth. I'm not sure I can handle it if this all turns out to be BS. Seems like a strong silent commit. Just gotta keep #vibes
