Seems sus/self-absorbed in a Billy Corgan kind of way -- which is funny because Billy was interviewed for the series.
I heard that he has zero Silverchair memoraboolabia in his house. He's kinda turned his back on the whole thing. Can't quite understand that tbh.

I listened to the first episode of this.
He's definitely a self-important oddball, probably fitting for a guy who is independently wealthy and has lived in a protected bubble since he was essentially a child.
He makes Corgan seem humble and well-adjusted by comparison.

Oh yeah, I made a post about him being an awkward, maladjusted former child star and it felt mean spirited and fairly obvious so I binned it.

This thread got me thinking about how there are parts of the music industry you'd assume pay much more than they do. I used to know a guy who worked as a touring musician for a mid-level pop act playing to 5000 people a night and he'd get about $50 a show (plus a small per diem for food)
Oh yeah absolutely. I've known more than one person in the same position and the average seems to be around $100 per show with a tiny food buyout, and a lame parting gift when the tour is over. The norm, not the exception.
The music business is ridiculous.

I read a book called “gigging for a living” years ago.
Shitty thing to do for a living unless you’re a rock god

The singer for The National seems like he was the guy who tried to drink red wine at parties in high school.

It's a bold move to lean so heavily on vocoder, but it works remarkably well in this instance. I also love the DIY loop station vibe towards the end.
It was made popular by the regrettable teen drama 'The OC', so it's got that working against it I guess.
Tried giving this a listen based on this post - hated it

When did describing a song as a “banger” become so popular?

Right before people started explaining that a song “slaps.”
