Rolling Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS "I don't get it thread"

haha yeah, from what ppl said on the thread it basically functions as a prelude on the album?

i already said what i had to say about this pistol annies nonsense on the main thread

i am shocked to discover that i think i actually like this tune-yards thingy, the arpeggiated vocal stuff is interesting - this sounds like somebody that listened to a lot of the right peter gabriel records but maybe took some of the vocal tricks a little too much to heart.

oh hey we're back

anyway I sent you a tune-yards song I like via Spotify; overall I definitely ADMIRE her stuff more than I actually LIKE it

i'd trash the tune-yards song here but flopson summed it up pretty well on the results thread

sooooo lana del rey

i can only assume that the voters for that have never heard the other million singers throughout time that have done that sort of thing better and the other 10 million songs that have better lyrics huh

"so imagine that theres this edith piaf song, but she cant sing and doesnt seem to care very much about being there, but wait also the lyrics were written by an idiot."

haha OTM

personally I blame the decline of music education

literally the only appealing thing about "Video Games" is changing the lyrics to the opening verse

I am still super fond of:

Ass
Titties
Ass and titties
Video gaaaames

i would like to play this game but i would have to listen to the song a second time

no, you just need to know the cadence:

1 e and a 2 and
1 e and a 2 and a
video games

anything you can bend around that rhythm works

Dancin' on the dance floor
Girl, it's you that i adore
video gaaaaames

Rip your head off
Shit down your neck
Video gaaaaames

Laugh like a motherfucker
Laugh like a motherfucker
Video gaaaaames

thank god i'm not the only one

wait am i doing the rhythm wrong then

ha no, I am taking liberties

Easily I approach
the microphone because I
video gaaaaames

yessssssssssss

You drag me across
Your open wounds
Video gaaaaames

i have a hot chick
waiting for me in my bed
video gaaaaaames

Swing low, sweet chariot
coming for to carry my
video gaaaaaaaaaaames

maura had a great one, too:

Sittin' in the back seat
Kickin' in the front seat
Video gaaaaaaames

I don't mind stealing bread
from the mouths of decaaaadence
video gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames

Bosses do what they want
Suckas do what they can
AHH-UHH-AHH-UHH-UAHHH!
Video Games...

why do people, people i like and enjoy and respect even, continue to want to listen to john maus

it is so baffling to me, i cant even come up with pithy slanderous things to say, the closest i have come is calling him a third rate xiu xiu without the catchy tunes which is sonically wrong but feels right somehow

there are some similarities between maus and xiu xiu -- you are not crazy

also dan in case you missed it plz note how proud i am of realizing that death grips - takyon sounds like the main dude is chuck mosely from faith no more

haha I did see that, it was actually the first thing that made me want to hear Death Grips

the first thing that made me want to hear Death Grips was the fact that Zach Hill was involved.

btw just fair warning, I will be putting anyone who talks shit about Shabazz Palaces on blast

fyi
