I didn't expect a track named after the Reykjavik airport to be italo disco. It's cool.

I group this Kasper Marrott tune and 'Neutron Dance' together in my head but this one just sounds so much better on headphones or a big system. It's like a more euphoric update of 'Squance' by Plaid, or a signpost to a modern electrohouse that isn't awful.

Kinda think that's the Platonic title for an italo disco track in 2019

voodoo: you want to provide a link? the only lemon glow convo i found was of the "this rocks" variety.

YT's algorithm suggests a TED talk titled 'Pop Music Is Stuck on Repeat' as a palate cleanser after this track.

The Beths
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:05 (five years ago) link
guess it's finally time to figure out what the beths sound like
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
i was thinking of this thread, but it looks like most of the discussion is general album stuff, not lemon glow specifically: Beach House - 7 (2018)
― my tweet portal is whack (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
many xps
hmm this isn't the beths song i like
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:07 (five years ago) link
good drums

i gave the beths some album ballot love, and this is def one of the highlights, but i left it off my trax ballot

would have been nice if i'd been able to find room to vote for something by the beths
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:09 (five years ago) link
yeah this one sounding better today but still not the one i repped
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:11 (five years ago) link
voted for the album but this is an excellent representative
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:12 (five years ago) link
Another 'voted for the album' one for me but this is a highlight of the record (along with 'Not Running').
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:12 (five years ago) link
if I was gonna vote for a single track it'd have been "not running" xp!!
more jazz students should start power pop bands
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:13 (five years ago) link
xp to voodoo: i think when we do the albums poll (if moka wants to that is), there should be lots more room for ILX commentary. as a community, we like to discuss albums and artists, not singles so much unless it's in the genre threads.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:14 (five years ago) link
I voted for the Beths album but it occurs to me I don't know off the top of my head what a single one of their individual songs is called. It's probably the only straight-ahead indie rock record I needed this year and this clearly hasn't hampered my enjoyment of it at all.
No idea which song this is.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:14 (five years ago) link
beths album/song the epitomy of 6/10 decent indie. i mean sure it isn't bad music but...
that said it is a step up from sodding beach house
― imago, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:17 (five years ago) link
i really really liked 'not running' off the beths album but i don't think it was even nommed. this a good song though
ooops heaps of xposts saying the same thing

if all the songs have drums this good i'm gonna check out the album
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:17 (five years ago) link
it does have a jazz drummer tbf to brad
brad since you're a huge fan of charly bliss i can't believe you never got around to the beths album
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
as i suspected from the thread: they don't sound anything like charly bliss
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
they're a lot more of a craft brew band than charly bliss

40: Doja Cat – “Mooo!” – 206 points – 8 votesvideo
thraed of DOJA CAT
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=26242
Fun fact: “Mooo!” is a song. It’s understandable if you forgot, given its warped life cycle: Doja Cat has gone from also-ran to viral sensation to problematic fave in under a year, a PR whiplash that might be too heavy for this song’s slight shoulders to bear. If I close my eyes and focus, I can still hear a song under all the noise. It’s unabashedly goofy, obviously, but its silliness belies its expert execution. Doja’s falsetto coos sound lovely floating above a loping jazz guitar and relentless 808s, and even when she’s milking the cow metaphor for its last drop, I find the song oddly relaxing. It’s hard to hear “Mooo!” and not think of the surrounding discourse, but there’s a reason we were all talking about it in the first place. – Julian Axelrod
Doja Cat is a good test case of the Internet meritocracy and the resulting crash of support. Comic songs about cows aren’t a new innovation, but Doja Cat shot up out of nowhere by being one of the few genuinely funny things in 2018 that didn’t need any context or backstory or kernel of an idea other than that "I know what a cow is" and that fast food is delicious. Any sliver of a moment that can allow me to ride a surreal trip of being a pompous cow is inherently good for me and to I imagine the vast amount of people who find glee in its lightness. Then Doja Cat had to dash my joy away by defending her prior 15,000 uses of a homophobic slur. Her defense is the true let-down: everyone is allowed to grow from their past (and finding anyone who doesn’t say something stupid on Twitter at some point is rare), but the moment Doja Cat had to face a weighty issue, she used the same buoyant not-giving-a-fuck mood from “Mooo!” in her response. Hating gay people isn’t the problem here; it’s not caring about them, especially when the LGBTQ community poured so much support out for her. – Nicholas Donohue
