Chandler Ransom Lucy
On Swag, Debating the Dalai Lama, George Lucas, and more
Pure Sky feat. Chandler Ransom Lucy (@skinnyyoungthug) — a prominent member of the Instagram Story critical class, thoroughbred California American, and one half of The Hellp. Read on for a quick Q&A and click here to listen to his playlist.
What should people do while listening to this playlist?
Drive, clean your room, or bask in the glory that was the last great punk rock band.
Ways you least and most like being described:
Least — schizo, crazy, annoying
Most — collected, thoughtful, sincere
Is The Hellp good? You keep saying they suck.
In order to improve, you must be critical. Does The Hellp suck? Absolutely not, it’s the last great American band. That isn’t up for debate. Can we do better? Probably.
Greatest rockstar to ever live and why:
Liam Gallagher may be the LAST. And Elvis may have been the FIRST. But goddamit. Michael Jackson was on some other shit and nothing will ever compare to his behavior, lifestyle, or antics. Rest in peace.
What does swag even look like anymore?
Minimalism. Put on a jacket and your favorite jeans and shut the fuck up. Who are you to put on an outfit in 2024? Sit down.
If you could debate anybody in the world, ever, who would it be? About what?
I would debate the Dalai Lama.
Tell us about the last YouTube video you watched.
George Lucas being interviewed about Star Wars Episode III. I feel he was very misunderstood in his filmmaking. I view him and Aphex Twin as the same person. Both pioneers in their own medium adopting computers to create new worlds that have never been seen or heard.
