Planning Phish Sphere Shows
“It’s a constant process of waking up in the morning and looking for areas that we can improve,” Anastasio explained. “[T]here were ideas on what the thematic narrative that was going to run through the four nights that went on for a month. Then we landed on one. Then it was what songs we’re going to play, what the (visual) content was going to be, how literal we wanted to make it. The answer to that is not very literal. Our fans are really smart and really involved, and we wanted to take a night or so for people to figure out what we were doing, plant a lot of Easter eggs and things like that. But it’s a never-ending daily improvement.”
Like they gotta get guitar strings and stuff. Score weed and mushroom.
Taylor Swift Album and Her Exes

An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure,” Swift, 34, wrote. “This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up.”

And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted,” she added. “This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.”
Bullshit. The next album is going to be called Jason and his inbred family.
Dave Portnoy Freaks Out Over TSWIFT Song
Portnoy called Taylor Swifts new Kim K dis track a Masterpiece. “I love all the hardos who trash Taylor Swift but then cum on rap battles and dis tracks.

Can’t tell if its because he loves Taylor or just hates Kim.

Nickelodeon Docuseries Made Under False Pretenses?
Raquel Lee Bolleau and Alexa Nikolas allege that the docuseries got facts wrong, left critical details out, and left them and others feeling abused and deceived. After watching the show, I saw that it was not at all what I signed up for,” Lee Bolleau told IndieWire. “I also saw that I was surrounded by people who have one agenda, and that one agenda is their own success. It’s a horrible word to even use in this context: success.”
They didn’t want to tell everybody it was about diddling.
