I work in a company of 5 people. Its democratic about the music but the fifth and newest person got today and yesterday and put the same spotify playlist on both days, so I also knew the horrors that were to come, it was far from genial.
Harsh and shrill sounds are a problem for me in general, but when trying to think its almost impossible, very difficult day

She developed her musical talent playing alongside NRBQ members, Johnny and Joey Spampinato
Huh, maybe one of the reasons I don't find her completely irredeemable.
a bad and toothless version of older music with even more regressive lyrics
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me.

I think hes just a little bit oblivious, 2nd week in a new job and putting skrillrex and Katy Perry on just feels like a misjudgement. It's not really music conducive to developing or thinking.
but it lasted all day without complaint so maybe I'm just over sensitive!

And something I assume to be Muse, and some things which almost seemed like a parody of the pc music that was in the ilx end of year chart. And I googled the lyrics for another and it was something called Bastille

I was delayed in and he has the stereo on again. Im trying to code while David Guetta is blaring. I have another 7 hours of this ahead of me
Im not sure but I think it might be the same playlist again

This one is apt - the lyrics..."i dont know how much i more i can take".
google says its Clean Bandit

we should have a representative guetta song in here for sure; "what i did for love" is the big 2015 release and it's not especially egregious but certainly suffers from the standard lack of creativityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt_myLDSdsY

He has a new playlist, ive googled the lyrics. its something called Imagine Dragons

back to the original playlist now. yellowcard, david guetta and katy perry. Work is starting to feel like spring break in cancun. I long to retreat to the copse

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining. I just did a quick sweep prior to posting this message and updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned... smooth jazz version of "Under the Bridge" included!
That playlist is currently a bit more than an hour of music most foul and is clickable below. Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.

he has his playlist on again. googled the lyrics, f for you by disclosure.

this bastille stuff is antagonistic garbage

the mary j blige remix of "f for you" is really good
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:22 (nine years ago) link
disclosure in general are good tbh
― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:23 (nine years ago) link
painfully average with diminishing returns more like, if saer heard the original "f for you" his assessment was correct
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:28 (nine years ago) link
except "latch," fuck "latch," maybe the sam smith backlash will finally reveal how garbage it is (and maybe the many-years-late impact of alunageorge's "you know you like it" will reveal how the crossover hit should have been "white noise")
― katherine, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:28 (nine years ago) link
it was, over here
("latch" was the initial crossover yeah but "white noise" was the smash)
("latch" is extremely mediocre, yes)
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:30 (nine years ago) link
(though "white noise" towers over the rest of aluneageorge's blah discography to an even greater extent than the rest of disclosure's imo)
yeah this is from a US perspective -- "Latch" was as much of a smash as disclosure ever got whereas you couldn't pay people to listen to "white noise"
― katherine, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
i agree latch is boring.i will rep for most of the rest of the album
― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah I was about to say even "latch" is leaps and bounds above the cutoff for this thread
― katherine, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:37 (nine years ago) link
the entire rest of sam smith's album can stay in here tho
SRSLY americans why the fuck did you legitimise him, JUST SAY NO to boring bland british whiteboy soul in the future please (this is specifically re: the imminent push ella henderson will receive on your shores)
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:41 (nine years ago) link
you're gonna have to lay some of the blame with mary j thereand i liked his work on the london sessions so i'm not sure i'm entirely on board with youhe's boring but mostly inoffensive
― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:42 (nine years ago) link
"imminent" underestimates the amount to which it's already happening
― katherine, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:44 (nine years ago) link
ok letting shit like smith and henderson pass as "inoffensive" without trying to cut them off at the root is why they end up so ubiquitous and eg jazmine sullivan does not
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:45 (nine years ago) link
that's a hell of an either/or mission statement you're fronting there

In regards to bland whiteboy soul with silly haircuts, is Sam Smith at least preferable to John Newman, who was also trying to make it big around that time?

'latch' is phenomenal, especially for a radio hit
― the fuckin catalina wine mixer (sleepingbag), Thursday, 9 April 2015 14:51 (nine years ago) link
the production is incredibly innovative imo and i think smith has some pretty interesting idiosyncrasies in his vocal performance
― the fuckin catalina wine mixer (sleepingbag), Thursday, 9 April 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
I dont think ive heard Latch though i havent googled all the lyrics yet.
Not one from googling but I saw something on the computer called Ninth Parallel that sounds like Prog PC Music, this may be the one that tips me over the edge.

ella henderson kinda-sorta happened here too at least w/ that one song but its eventual success was relatively minor compared to how long it was pushed at radio, promoted on tv and such
― dyl, Thursday, 9 April 2015 16:14 (nine years ago) link
yeah I remember Ella being on Ellen ages ago singing that song about going down to the river to pray. Always had trouble picturing any of the English people I know bothering to get on the tube to commune with God on the Southbank but I don't know her life
Also I haven't read this thread in weeks I can't believe you still haven't said anything to your co-worker saer lmao
