The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 189

Jamie said they were trying to get all the new dates confirmed before they made an announcement. They've been suspiciously silent. Matty, however, has not been able to close his mouth.

 

Matty has never once closed his mouth haha

 

He just can’t stop

 

You weapon...using that lol

 

rich kids gonna rich kid

 

Lol never heard weapon used like that before.

 

wow

 

This comes after he was posting videos on IG of Christopher Hitchens deriding people who take offence to things people say. His doubling down seems pretty in tune with what Hitchens was saying in those videos. Wish he’d accept that what he said was shitty and take it back without turning it into some petty online argument about offence and a meta commentary about his social media use. It just feels like a contrived personal drama that he shouldn’t be inflicting on his followers and people just trying to promote their art online.

tldr: he should log off

 

I welcome all new users to the use of the word weapon. Nathan Barley says hello

 

What would be great is if he used his platform to instead create a fund for artists/musicians like me who are out of work for the foreseeable future instead of making shitty jokes.

 

English thing

 

Dude really has to walk on egg shells. Sounded pretty clearly like a joke. Still love Matty.

 

What he said was very douchebaggy, but it's not the type of thing I'm gonna lose sleep over.

 

Yeah there was a stage at my junior school where everybody called each other weapons or wet wipes. British thing.

I’m also glad I don’t have Twitter.

 

He doesn't have as much wittiness he thinks he has. I mean... write better "jokes", read the room. I don't know.

 

Get his ass

 

I've seen plenty of people dunking on him since he doubled down and this is definitely the best one. Fuck off Matthew.

 

also everyone support Nervus, they’re the exact kind of band Matty was punching down toward with his original tweet

 

I like some of Nervus' stuff but I respect the hell out of them

 

This definitely isn’t coming out til at least summer now.

 

Tour postponed

 

These tweets are...oof

 

If You’re Too Shy taking its sweet time huh?

 

I wish the live release they posted on social media would have sufficed and they decided to release a different track at this point.
