a necessary condition for a good song would be that i listen to it till the end when i hear it first. this didn't happen to any of the first 5 songs. for a really good song i would need to want to listen again. obviously this did not happen neither yet...

"Luz de Piedra de Luna" video is by ILX-approved misogynist CANADA btw.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, this song is v v good. The best to place so far.

Someone tell me which thread this was being discussed on so I can bookmark it. I love it when these out-of-the-blue picks appear.

"Hasta la Verdad"'s placing in the 2010 poll inspired latin american hipster shit but I don't recall "Luz de Piedra de Luna" being discussed much on ILX since then. It was the highest-scoring song of 2012 on the Singles Jukebox though.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I was going to say, The Singles Jukebox got me onto it: http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=6030

I'm guessing javiera mena and maybe latin american hipster shit xxp

The synths are a little too cheesy-rave for my liking, but the Javiera Mena song is fun, yeah.

Love this utterly ludicrous blurb from the Jukebox:
Andrew Casillas: Pardon the (slight) hyperbole, but what can I say about this song that hasn’t already been said about the Sistine Chapel? Everything about this is configured exactly right — the house piano, the Miami Sound Machine percussion, the disco boot stompin’ beat, the steady ebb and flow of the vocals, etc. Yet this song feels naturally big and epic without the cold precision of so much dance floor filler. This is the best kind of pop music — the type which, at its most primal and satisfying, makes its listeners lose their inhibitions and surrender to the power of the beat. By that measure, “Luz de Piedra de Luna” is one of the greatest pop songs of this young century.

It was Club Fonograma's best song 2 years ago! Andrew Casillas writes for both Club Fonograma and Singles Jukebox which is how it wormed our way here I guess. Yay! http://www.clubfonograma.com/2010/12/club-fonogramas-best-songs-of-2010-part_13.html

J0rdan made these. I'm doing albums this year. xp

I guess it's time to finally hear this Pulp song.

urgh pulp

Javiera Mena was the single of the year (the one with the best global rating at least) on thesinglesjukebox.
― Moka, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
the whole javiera mena album is really v. good!

Wait, Pulp put out a song last year? When did that happen?
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
pulp!
First song I haven't heard before, let's do this.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:14 (eleven years ago) link
her first album is a bit indie pop for my tastes, but the second 'Mena' is just something else.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
pulp being sandwiched in b/w javier mena and the next track is pretty funny
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2013 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like this is the 2010 poll all over again with people being introduced to Javiera Mena. ^_^
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
I have to be the only person ever to ever mix up Javiera Mena and Maria Minerva, right? u_u
― flag posts in the dust (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:16 (eleven years ago) link
This Pulp song isn't terrible at all! I think that's because it was written a long time ago or something and just recently unquarantined.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
my boyfriend put on 6music yesterday afternoon as we were chilling at his place and jarvis fucking cocker was so intolerable on it that i had to insist we turn the radio off. and he wasn't even singing!
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
Came out on Christmas Day so I missed it until recently. Produced by James Murphy while they were on the Coachella cruise. It's a good fit.
― Deafening silence (DL), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
This is decent.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
Wouldn't expect Pulp + DFA to be a good fit at all but that actually works really well. This is great.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
pulp? they are still around? another band whose appeal i have never understood. this song does not make an exception though it is probably one of their best and the best of this thread yet.
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
switched off at the "party in hackney" line. cocker sounds like dog latin
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
Pulp song is jaunty and insufferable in equal doses, ie exactly what I expected, admittedly gets better in the last two minutes
takeaway = shes shakin her booty
― flag posts in the dust (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't know Pulp had released a single this year either. It's good, actually! I like the clattering pace.

"Nu" Chromatics isn't drastically different from anything they've made in the last 7 years or so. I guess you're either into what they do or you're not.
I agree and I'm the former. I think Kill For Love the album is full of great simmple but catchy songs. Psychocandy produced by New Order is a pretty good description. It is weighed down by the long instrumentals though.

Is it really "Pulp" or is it just Jarvis and James Murphy in the studio with his DFA crew?
