After Bradford Cox's on-air Sirius XMU meltdown, the entire blogosphere awaits what he will say during every interview. Interviewers now know that with a nudge in the right direction, he will openly 'talk shit', 'overshare' or even just get plain dark as eff. His vibes are totally harshed, and if his PR/record company 'cared about him as a human', they would jump in front of this, but instead they are just trying to get blog headlines, and only see Bradford as a means 2 sell records. I wish I could be there 4 him in his time of need. #pray4bradford

It seems like Bradford Cox is attempting to start some 'massive divide' in the indiesphere, trying to finally 'kill off' the chillwave era. He basically said that all the chillwave artist was soft as hell, and that they are just cheaters and their music doesn't mean anything.

Chillwave came along, and it turned ambient music into this perfume that overwhelmed the room. It used to feel therapeutic, but then it started to feel like people would put anything through three delay pedals. I think people overplay the ambience in my work, but I don't mind. I hope nobody associates me with fucking chillwave, though. It's a non-factor. I play rock'n'roll.

Have u ever thought that Atlas Sound was 'chillwave'?
What abt that one song with Panda Bro about Killing Vibes or Walking About or something...

Anyways, it seems like he is super harshed. In related news, he is recently sober, and realized that it's chill to have some cold ones with bros.

I quit drinking around Cryptograms because you don't need to drink if you have emotional problems, you know? Especially when you're young. But that's always weird when you have all these dudes in a band because, when they get done with a show, they want to go have a beer. And the sober guy is always going to have this air of arrogance or self-righteousness, but it's not my intention. I just knew that if I drank, I'd have a drinking problem.

But I started drinking again recently, because of a bunch of personal things happened in my life. I just need a little fucking release. I need to loosen up and stop thinking too much. When I started having a couple of beers and loosening up, I realized how many years I had wasted going back to my hotel room alone when I could have gone and just had a beer or two.

It's like how you should just watch a fucking football game with your dad, even if you're not into football... oh, I don't know what I'm saying. I'll figure it out when you print it. And everybody else can do the same, and the same people that always think I'm pretentious will think I'm pretentious, and the people who relate to me will continue to relate to me. As above, so below-- I don't know what that means. [laughs]

I hope that Bradford gets to vibe out on cold brewskies with bros 4evr...

R u worried abt him?
Does he seem 'angry'?
is he mad @ the chillwave vibes?
Should he just ride chillwaves and vibe out?
Did u watch football games with ur dad?
Do u agree with his thoughts on chillwave?
