yeah but now that alt rock radio has lorde it doesn't need paramore

"Now" is a fine track imo, just not a super inspiring into to the project

"Still Into You" took so long to take off that they realized they'd be better served letting "Aint It Fun" have its moment in early-mid 2014 and it worked. The song has started taking off right in time for it to become an early summer hit. This'll probably land somewhere in the top 10 by next week or the week after.

the funny thing about that post is that it doesn't even mention that it's not just the vaguely similar cover art but that Bieber's song is called "We Were Born For This" and the Paramore album his cover resembles has a song called "Born For This" (with the refrain "we were born for this").

Was Fast In My Car a single? That's a doozy too. I'm going to be 42 this weekend and just getting into mall punk.

now that i've kinda gotten used to the abridged pre-chorus, what really bums me out about the single mix is that they throw the lead guitar line over the first chorus, i always loved on the album version how the first chorus let that melody just ring out on the dinky xylophone keyboard sound
― some dude, Sunday, 4 May 2014 01:18 (ten years ago) link
i only just noticed that when listening to the album again yesterday and now it's gonna bug me forever (or until it's not on the radio anymore)

They just scored their first US top ten.

Yeah that makes me really happy, unlike finding out that MAGIC's Rude has already started peaking it's way into the Top 40 this week at number 39.

Fell out of the top ten.

Someone should send this song back in time to 1989 to play over the end credits of some awesome movie.
Love Urban, J. Lo and Harry just dancing away in place. If they stop moving, do they get a shock?

It's okay and his singing is good, but mostly it just reminded me to upload some Pinback to my ipod.
― how's life, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 09:31 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's not highly original or anything. but I always liked his drumming a lot, good to hear him do something that kinda goes against the conventional wisdom that the Farros left to go make 'real punk' or w/e.

I heard 'Ain't in Fun' in a strip club and it's become my song of the early summer
― calstars, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 22:06 (ten years ago) link
I heard 'Ain't in Fun' in a strip club
This is a very meta and perhaps even depressing song to play in a strip club
― Tim F, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 23:06 (ten years ago) link
ain't it fun (if the homies can't have none)
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 23:24 (ten years ago) link
xp yeah, 'You're not the big fish in the pond no more. You are what they're feeding on' is a bit much for a strip club
― Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 11 June 2014 23:30 (ten years ago) link
this band has some fuckin' longevity. seems like they are weathering vicissitudes better than, say, Fall Out Boy, the leading lights of the mid 00s pop-punk scene? or do I have this wrong as I am a dabbler?
― veronica moser, Thursday, 26 June 2014 00:53 (ten years ago) link
and "Ain't It Fun" hasn't dropped out of the top thirty.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 June 2014 00:57 (ten years ago) link
last Fall Out Boy album debuted at #1 the same month as the Paramore album (and has sold slightly more overall, although Paramore had the biggest single of either album), FOB has been around longer and is closing the shows on their current joint tour so...pretty close to a draw but FOB has the edge.
― some dude, Thursday, 26 June 2014 01:08 (ten years ago) link
Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like Paramore are bigger internationally.
― abcfsk, Thursday, 26 June 2014 07:38 (ten years ago) link
Paramore are headlining Reading festival this year...Fall Out Boy were 2nd on the bill before Linkin Park at Download a few weeks back... so I'd maybe say Paramore have the edge in the UK right now

Trapt OFFICIAL16 hrs · Edited ·The fact that Paramore won an award for Best Rock Song and Beck won for Best Rock Album shows you that there's gotta be a conspiracy going around to destroy the essence of what rock music is all about. The establishment doesn't want anything too threatening or in your face to rile you up, they just want you to nod to adult pop punk;) or indie folk electronica and think it's "rock."

Had to google up Trapt and I guess they were like second-fiddle to Puddle of Mudd or something.
