I cannot get past that Cocorosie/ANHONI song

The best thing that I will say about that Perry song is that, after hearing it maybe twice, it doesn't actively annoy me in any way. Other than that, I can't right now recall a single thing about it.

Jessie Ware co-wrote this. I'm horrified

I know you're lonely
Please remember you're still free
To make the choice and leave
Don't call me up, you need to show me

another very strong contender indeed

"New Man" is bad but "Galway Girl" is jaw-droppingly awful - terrible lyrics, too many words for its melody, awful performance, patronising sentiment, kill it with fire

I guess there had to be a first time that someone rhymed "asshole bleached" with "every single Ministry CD". The guy they're describing doesn't really sound like your average Ministry fan though.

So the Ed Sheeran album is definitely the worst album of the year? Or is Sun Kil Moon still the one to beat?

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 13:36 (seven years ago) link

Some brief moments on the Koz record are at least legitimately funny. Then again, it's also 7,000 years long.

Didn't you say the new SKM "is the most I've ever liked Mark Kozelek"?

Evan, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:15 (seven years ago) link

That's a low bar, and I'd only made it through three tracks at that point...

But the sad truth is probably that I'd prefer abysmal failure to competent and boring... I also kinda like the first Sheeran single, am fascinated by the rest.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:33 (seven years ago) link

🤷 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:33 (seven years ago) link

Highly insulting in regards to the first 3 SKM records! Though not sure if you've ever tried them.

Evan, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 22:00 (seven years ago) link

youtube is currently having a spirited debate over a) whether there is in fact a bar on grafton street b) whether he meant a cross street c) whether there just USED to be a bar because omg it's about his parents omg so sweet d) whether it doesn't matter because ed's songwriting simply cannot be contained by such matters as facts

...the...song...title.

Just, no.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:18 (seven years ago) link

Also the more I think about it, doesn't the song title basically mean the equivalent of "Hi, I'm the little kid you used to babysit and I'm all grown up now I think and I wanna do you. I hate sand."

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:22 (seven years ago) link

The Stargate single features Sia and P!nk imitating Sia and is very insipid and leans towards the "self-parody" side of the predictability spectrum

monotony, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 03:50 (seven years ago) link

I still have no idea how Sia is a pop star.

wow this is traaaash.

maura, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 13:47 (seven years ago) link

woooow

I don't mind Sia overall, but whoever first said "Sia doesn't do metaphor" ruined my ability to listen to her lyrics without giggling

also, what if this song is her attempt to do metaphor and... it's just one bad metaphor they keep repeating as a chorus

Fuck that Sia track is awful, it's been all downhill since "1000 Forms of Fear" (her last semi decent album)

maura, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 02:07 (seven years ago) link

If that Atlas Pain song had clean vocals instead of rote "extreme" vocals it would be halfway decent. But then it would be a power metal song, and those are outlawed in America.

Of course, any time a white rapper takes a comedic approach to hip-hop (especially with racially charged lyrics), it's easy to see it as a white dude making fun of rap music—and potentially black culture in general.

This has happened with Riff Raff, Lil Dicky, and others. As Miller’s profile grows, skepticism is being thrown in his direction as well.

As soon as I bring up the topic, his voice takes on a serious tone.

“I fuckin' love rap music,” Miller responds. “All kinds, all sorts. It's not my intention to make fun of rap music. Some songs are lighthearted parodies of today's rap culture, for sure. But I don't want people to make the mistake thinking that I'm hostile or aggressively making a fool out of rap culture. It's just a light parody."

wait until you hear 'gays 4 donald'

Frank said on twitter that this song isn’t meant to be a political statement, rather just a filthy ballad about wanting to have sex with Donald Trump.

But of course that could just be Frank being facetious.
