Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

He's really rich and seems like a nice guy, but yes, I am not a fan of this music. Then again, I am not a teenage girl so its not meant for me. He is funny looking' though

It never stops.

It's 2018, you have a phone in your pocket that can play an infinite amount of music and/or podcasts that you actually want to listen to. Why would anyone get mad about pop musicians, it's quite easy to remove them entirely from your life at this point.

If you don't leave the house without already wearing headphones, that's on you.

That people that don't have to hear Ed Sheeran are the lucky bastards that don't get subjected to UK commercial radio in their workplaces, where the Ginger Satan is inescapable. loving Capital, Kiss, Heart and all the rest of Global's empire of shite will be banging out his songs 5, 6, 8 times a day each. It's like water torture, a slow accumulation of annoyance that just builds and builds until you're like



Also Davy Jones was in the goddamn Monkees, I'd take them over Sheeran even on their worst day.

It's a bit annoying that people now associate "Galway Girl" with the song he did rather than the much better Steve Earle song.

First time I saw this dude was on Sesame Street. I honestly thought he was like a producer's assistant who had to fill in...I was like "no way that dude is actually famous". Joke's on me! Side note, being a dad totally takes you out of pop culture, which is actually very good

You can block that poo poo out if you really commit to it. Takes a fair amount of will and perseverance but its a bit like meditation.

the ed sheeran song i notice is the one where he talks about going back to his hometown and how all his hometown friends live tragic lives- working a regular job, getting married and divorced like regular people etc (unlike him the world touring musician).

Then it ends with a verse on the line "...but these people raised me and I cant wait to go home" and the "BUT" in that line about how hes so down to earth he still deigns to grace these sadsacks with his presence seems strikingly smug.

I can sleep through an Ed Sheeran song fine.

Lukas Graham's "Seven Years", though? gently caress that was a bad time to be within earshot of a radio.

I can’t tell what I hated more about Seven Years, the dude’s voice breaking every time he exerted himself or that “OR WILL I” being awkwardly shoved into every line so it sounds like he’s just repeatedly sneezing in the recording booth.

A poster many moons ago once said Jack Johnson was so inoffensive that he was offensive.

I'd say that about Ed Sheeran but doesn't Shape of You come across as a bit more misogynist than the average pop song?

I have no idea how Shape of You got so big when its beat sounds like it was made on a Fischer-Price xylophone and never evolves or ramps up.

The one Ed Sheeran song I like is "Sing" because it sounds more like a decent Justin Timberlake song.

The second verse where he talks about going on a nice sensible date where they eat a thrifty meal and he asks that her family is doing ok is so incredibly sexless that theres something really 'off' about it in what is otherwise a straight up love-ur-body-babe sex jam.

It all makes way more sense when you know it’s a size acceptance anthem. They go to the buffet.
