Newsletter of Stuff #1

Hello Patrons! Dude, I’m so excited for this Newsletter of cool stuff! It’s going to be very personal to me. Something more personal than Twitter. To prove that to you. Here’s a video of me lip-syncing to Taylor Swift in high school. Just for you.

I had a great week this week I saw Green Day - Weezer - Fall Out Boy in concert! It was a fun time. Here’s my review of each act.

Weezer: Pretty good daytime energy. Great setlists. Rivers Cuomo has a mullet now?

Fall Out Boy: Someone in their camp got COVID so they didn’t perform. Which sucks because I was looking forward to them the most. I wanted to hear Dance Dance, and Thnks fr the Mmrs SO FREAKING BAD.

Green Day: I had never been to a Green Day concert and when I tell you they tore the imaginary roof off of Citi FIeld they did it. Their energy was high all throughout which is something that I have a hard time feeling at a big stadium concert but they did it. They brought a fan onstage to play with them and I’m not going to lie I would be shitting bricks!

I had a great time enjoying the concert. I was also one of like 10 black people there. I counted.

What else happened this week... Oh yeah! My mom visited me this weekend for her birthday. She came to my softball game to watch me play. Little did she know that I tweaked my hamstring 5 minutes before she got there. So I switched from outfield to third base. I still played in the game because our team was already a man down and I’m too competitive. I went 4-4 and had a pinch-runner take over for me. It was nice.

But enough about me this week. Let’s talk about the stuff I’ve seen on the internet this week.

Chance the Rapper/Starbucks gone bad

Chance the Rapper has been put in the internet blender since releasing The Big Day in 2019. Seeing as that was his “debut album” or whatever the anticipation for it was huge. Chance’s mixtapes and earlier projects were must play in high school and he felt like the chosen one. That’s why it hurt so much knowing that his album was one of the worst projects I’ve ever heard.

Then this parody video below came out and I haven’t known peace since.

It’s been 2 years since that project and he still gets clowned for it and this Starbucks ad isn’t going to make it better.

This beat is awful bro I’m sorry and Tiktok didn’t let up. The ad says to duet it the TikTok but the reaction and response were so bad that they turned off duets. Which was the WHOLE POINT OF THE AD. Starbucks will be fine, but man it’s so wild to see Chance get this much hate knowing all of the legendary music he gave us in the early 2010s. The jokes get even funnier too somehow.

I was on the floor laughing so hard when I saw this. Chance’s next album rollout has to be a one special man because wow. He’s getting cooked.

Something I enjoyed: Suicide Squad (The Old Movie) review from Cosmonaut Variety Hour

I love Cosmonaut Variety Hour so much and this was a freaking hilarious video. I remember the only redeeming quality of the movie was the soundtrack that came with it. But Marcus rips it to shreds and I was laughing the entire time during this video. He’s so funny and good with his editing and everything. One of my favorite creators in the industry.

What I’m listening to: Midnight Charm - Jenevieve

From those who knew about my Infinite Shuffle Newsletter you know, I’m a fan of Jenevieve. She’s brilliant and has a great voice and puts a lot of effort into her music videos and you can see it. I’m loving her new work and Midnight Charm is so catchy. Here’s what I’ve been listening to right now.
