Yeah, what can I say, I find his trolling very amusing. His persona is basically that of a pre-shithead reveal Ryan Adams though because it’s mostly put upon FJM less likely to Threaten music critics or throw money at a heckler. I loved all that stuff too. Dickhead pretentious white male artists has been its own music category for as long as they been strapping on guitars. FJM just acknowledges it and leans in to it a bit.
I enjoy his shtick and sorry it rubs some folks the wrong way.
Yeah it rubs me up the wrong way and the music is kinda in my wheelhouse but equally I don’t find standout on it own. The persona is such a big part of it that it loses me. It’s a pity because I’ve heard tales on here that would suggest that Josh Tillman is actually a pretty sound in real life.
