fullofsounds maybe don't make a comment like that if you don't know what's going on?

shut the fuck up

being skeptical and not knowing what's going on are not the same thing genius

obviously. they said they need to read more into it - hence they don't know what is going on. exactly why being skeptical without having all of the information is stupid, genius.

having a rough sketch of what's going on, not including the most minutiae detalis =/= not knowing anything



also: no one really knows anything, at this point it's nothing more than just rumors and a facebook post, detective

yeah that's not the only evidence but sure. one of their touring members stated that from what he understands the accusations were made months ago but no one was made aware. tha and a lot f people were directly messaging the person who made the original post with their own stories. they weren't all coming out in public or to the media.

to say you are skeptical when you do not know the full story is not smart. but really, i appreciate your hostility in wanting to defend an alleged sexual assaulter and rapist

ok, so a facebook post and rumors, thanks swans avi

i commented earlier that i understand that the irony is not lost on me. but thanks for staying on the topic at hand. i'm sure their own touring member has no idea what's going on and that all of those people coming to that person privately, all the people speaking up as you so desperately wanted, don't matter

on a different note, anyone hear The Gossip yet? they were so reviled 'round here cuz the singer is fat:

right that's what i said. i think "From my understanding, these accusations were in fact levied via e-mail months ago, but were left unshared with other members of the band, including myself." is key though.

maybe you're right and this is all fake but coming to that conclusion, being immediately skeptical of the accusations, is why people don't come forward. that's a big issue for me

"they were so reviled 'round here cuz the singer is fat" wait really

check the soundoffs on Standing in the Way of Control



part of the backlash was due to the titular song being played everywhere at the time, but it was still uncalled for

"Luckily, nobody actually bought this record, and soon Beth Ditto is going to receive a rather large invoice from her record label. Maybe she'll suffocate on her own fat first though, who knows?"

jesus and the guy who wrote that was staff at one time

Kinda bummed more music isn't probably gonna come from these guys. Inevitable, but w/e. This album will probably stay in rotation for a long while.

@Loss1010 Fucking preach.

T-Rextasy was the band that said they'd confidentially been told complaints btw

I've listened to this album more after the allegations than before. It's interesting when you approach it from the perspective that it's intended to deceive, a performance of social justice activism for $$$ and a career
