Now up at Vulture: a piece in which I figure Abel Tesfaye is basically the David Lynch of r&b. But do I mean that in a good way? You’re in suspense now, right?
Tricky comparison is excellent — I’ve batted an idea about the Weeknd et al.’s popularity being some kind of a trip-hop retread (or, hell, an Enigma retread, but that doesn’t quite fit musically, just in how people respond to the music) and headed for the same eventual coffee-shop soundtrack diss status.

“Weeknd,” it turns out, is meant to be pronounced “weakened.” The more you know indeed.

Regardless, Thursday is a pile of puke compared to House of Balloons. Made me a sad panda :(
