ah, he's a 'nice guy', not a nice guy

 

[jonah]

i was convinced

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Maybe he got sick of the 'nice guy' tag

I suppose it's too much to hope that this Baka fella has done his time and been rehabilitated?


(I heard of him for the first time 5 mins ago)

And it kills me to yell out free Baka again / But.. – Schemin' Up
Travis Savoury aka Baka is one of Drake’s closest friends and can be heard introducing himself at the end of “From Time”.

Baka was out of jail from a gun charge with some help from Drake, but it seems like now he is back behind bars. While it hurts Drake to have to say ‘Free Baka’ again after going through the legal process with him for so long, Drizzy does it because he wants to see his brother out of jail.

Baka AKA Not Nice

Haha!

The real crime here is that he is not using is given name of Travis Savoury

perhaps he could write his pal a catchy tune about not trafficking and assaulting people instead

When talking to people and they try say something ironic or provocative and overstate it......basically dumb people who think they are clever.

 

[therealjohnny]

BAKA..ironically he sounds like a most un-Savoury character

Why are the BBC repeating eastenders after 12 midnight on a friday??

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I got on the bus without my headphones and am forced to endure the voices of the other passengers.

FUCK IT

 

[dudley]

I'm glum today at the idea that only 80 or so people turned up see Drive Like Jehu this weekend at Coachella, in a massive tent.

Greatest band of all time, first gigs in 20 years.

80 people....

 

[Lili Marlene]

Maybe they at least got a massive paycheque from it?

or even a paycheck

 

[Unicron]

Everyone was watching Madonna and Drake play tonsil hockey

 

[nooleen]

everyone was busy bleaching their eyeballs after seeing madonna and drake play tonsil hockey

 

[dudley]

oh, i'd say they got paid a fortune, which coachella are regretting right now.

What's a shame is that the festival repeats over two weekends so, despite the $$$, they know what's coming....

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Maybe everyone is going to turn up at the second weekend?

Maybe if they didn't play a festival

The eternal balancing act between having tidy fingernails and needing the tools to have a proper nose pick.

Mark Linkous Estate Blocks Sparklehorse Charity Tribute Album, Supporters Won't Get Money Back | News | Pitchfork

In 2013, Box of Stars, a non-profit focused on increasing awareness about mental health, launched an Indiegogo campaign to organize and release Last Box of Sparklers, a Sparklehorse/Mark Linkous tribute album. The planned album was set to feature contributions from the Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr., Mercury Rev, Mark Lanegan, Califone, the Joy Formidable, Phantogram, Grandaddy's Jason Lytle, and more. It raised over $46,000. Now, the project has been canceled, and organizers have told those that donated that they won't be getting their money back.

Box of Stars sent out a letter to those who'd backed the project. "The estate of Mark Linkous decided that it will not support the project and has threatened legal action if we continue," it reads. "Our silence on this matter has been neither willing nor willful, and it has been extraordinarily difficult to remain quiet while receiving the comments and reading the speculations that have understandably arisen in the past several weeks. For a variety of reasons, we believe it best not to release the album without the support of the Linkous estate."

The letter also states that because all of the collected funds were spent on the production of the album, those who contributed won't be getting their money back. "So, what can we do?" they write. "We can and will offer future projects to you for your support, with perks over and above the value of each original individual contribution."

Songs from the Flaming Lips and the Joy Formidable are still up on the Box of Stars Soundcloud.

Pitchfork has reached out to Box of Stars for comment.
