CUT IT OUT: We love a little hole.

Upper left corner, a little hole, a corner cut off, or a slash in the side, they all mean the same. You’re about to buy a “Cut-out” album, and the word “Cut-out” has nothing to do with the fact that the jacket is literally cut—news to us here at The Throne. Everything you ever wanted to know about “Cut-outs,” even if you didn’t know that you wanted to know anything about “Cut-outs,” is explained in this article here.

THE DOWN & OUTS OF “CUT-OUTS”: We love to learn about a whole lotta shady shit.

“Cut-outs” were not about making money off of low-selling albums or over-ordered albums. They were created to screw the artist. Imagine that. She explains all in this video here.

The Curse (2023-2024): The problem with Nathan Felder in the humble opinion of us Throners is that he’s a one-shtick pony that goes on too long. Without a strong narrative to guide him, we lose interest. Blame it on our ADHD, but that’s how we feel. And we believe we’ve been redeemed! With the addition of the Safdie brothers both in front and behind the camera, Nathan soars (spoiler alert), literally. You’ll have to wait for the conclusion for that. Add Emma Stone from both front and behind, and the combination is nothing short of brilliant. Beyond cringeworthy, we dig Nathan and the rest of the horrible people in this series! Watch the trailer here.
