Kanye West fancies himself a tough guy. He's coming hard at Pete Davidson for the comedian's relationship with West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian, for example. In the words of Senator Clay Davis, sheeeeeeit. Kanye doesn't know from tough. Check out Taras Topolya, lead singer of the Ukrainian band Antytila:
Unfortunately, the organizers of the charity event scheduled for this evening declined Antytila's offer because they seek to avoid military involvement in the concert. Which is a shame. It's not as if Antytila wants to be wearing helmets and flak jackets at this moment in history. I'm for recognizing their bravery as warrior-poets and taking a side in this conflict.
Instead, we're left to show a couple of their videos in a very pale homage to Topolya and his bandmates.

My youngest recently reported that he's been getting into Kanye's older stuff. He didn't seem that interested in my recommendations for some more old school hip hop.
A 16 year old not respecting his parent's taste? Weird.
This deserves a post but I don't have time and it's over tomorrow:

Been watching the HBO Winning Time silliness, with amusement, and so far Kareem seems fairly dickish. But this is some pretty enlightened shit.

Drive-By Truckers playing in Virginia Beach the Tuesday before the OBFT. Gonna be a good week.
it's 'the' obft now? i like the branding.
I just saw that date. Don’t think I can add two extra days to my OBFT. My liver has limits.
Hasn't it always had the "the"?
Kareem’s take has been widely criticized by the black community as punching down and illustration of an outdated view that only plays into the hands of racists.
Moose out front should have told you.
Marls beat me to it. Black Twitter is not feeling Kareem on this one at all.
Well, his punctuation was sterling.
Why do people say "align" when they mean "agree"?
I align, Z. Annoying.
I would like to affirm my alignment with this sentiment.
Bruce Willis has aphasia. I looked for the Greasetruck music video for "Aphasia" that has Dave's cartoons of Danny DeVito and Gary Busey and such, but I think the internet ate it.
“Aphasia” and “Dirty Girls” are masterpieces.
“Align” is the term people use when they want you to agree with stupid idea.
align to disalign, juan
Juan Carlos aligned with all of our good ideas in Daytona Beach precisely 30 years ago in Daytona Beach.
Drive by Truckers playing here at the quaint Ponte Vedra Concert Hall next month. 8 should see them, no? On a tue night tho...bummer
Chiropractors align. The folks at the tire store align. People agree on decisions.
I agree Danimal, you should go see the Truckers. If it's a small venue, all the more so. Tuesday stinks but if it's nearby and you can limit your booze consumption (or if you can take Wednesday off) you should to it.
I align with Z.
Need some content… Marls
I'm heading down to the Harvester tonight to see Pokey Lafarge. First actual show in a couple of years.
As great a nom de tune as Pokey LaFarge is, it might be an even better euphemism.
