I like the new Paramore song

[bye june]

I like Sade too

[The exploding boy]

Smooth Operator (the record) is an instant time warp for me, my mom played that in the car a lot in the 80's. She had/has such a good voice. The kind you don't hear a lot anymore.

I kinda get tired sometimes of the weird obscure shit I normally listen to.

Nothing wrong with pop at all. In fact I love a lot of it. But that Paramore song doesn't even have a good hook or anything. Katy Perry hits blow that track outta the water.

I was listening to a bunch of "vintage" Madonna the other day, really enjoyable stuff.

Good musics just good music.

Check out Sonic Youth covering Madonnas get into the groove, fucking sweet man

Not a fan really. Last album I listened to by them was the one with Slide and that City of Angels single. They've had some solid singles over the years though. Guilty pleasures, sure. But I still think some of their early stuff holds up really well. They have enough good stuff to make for a really enjoyable concert.

This was a nice, enjoyable, semi recent song

I saw her again on the 2011 tour, she still has a good voice. Choreographed entertainment show, but I really enjoyed it, it seemed everyone there did. An audience and atmosphere like that is rare.

They don't make singers like her anymore.
(Also god damn, how can you look like that at 52.)

[The exploding boy]

Oh i know iv'e always said that. I don't know what special juice she drinks but she ages more slwoly than anyone. I remember seeing her on tv in the late 90s and thinking that, then in the mid 2000s, then a few years ago on her tour poster (though probably promo pictures should never be trusted too much)

[pavementtune]

She does look as beautiful as on promo pictures.
And she is so full of life somehow, and sexy, and... okay I stop now.

I actually have the Ciccone Youth album, I love Sonic Youth.

Speaking of Sade, I really enjoy Seal. My dad listened to him alot when I was little so it's engraved in me.

Uuuuunnnhhhhhh Charli is my fuckin jam this summer. Can't stop listening to True Romance.

[Trotskilicious]

nuclear seasons is fucking ridiculous

i really hate the fact that her breakthru is singing the hook on Fancy.

also i hate the fact that i missed her at a small venue here pre-Fancy because i was too embarassed to be a fan of Charli XCX in public. i have the same issue with Robyn.

[Trotskilicious]

also my friend works at said venue so i figured he'd make fun of me if i showed up with all the teenage girls to see someone who is known to do a cover of the backstreet boys

[Trotskilicious]

also black roses is a serious jam

[duovamp]

I KNOW. First song I heard of hers was "What I Like," immediately pirated the album, after "Nuclear Seasons" as the first track, she had me. God, I really wish I knew about her sooner. I bet her shows would be so geeeeeeeewwwddd. From her interviews, her album is going to be really "poptastic." And I don't take that in a cheeky way. :/

Superlove is incredible, if shallow, but a hell of a groove. "Boom Clap" sounds like I'm going to be really disappointed and she sold out hard.

YES. GOD YES.

[duovamp]

Black Roses in the last week has been my favorite song from it. Last week it was Nuclear Seasons.

[Trotskilicious]

it's hard out here for a bitch

[duovamp]

Let's just take a second to appreciate her in that dress in the "Superlove" vid.





















Okay.

[Trotskilicious]

oh my god superlove has a reference to leonard cohen

i just love her

[The Omega Concern]

Impressive. She's a very disciplined vocalist.

[Trotskilicious]

yeah big fucking deal

[duovamp]

She's a record company tool, like a guitar is to a guitarist. She's a fabulous instrument. Congratulations to her.

[Trotskilicious]

i mean besides the fact that we just were talking about about a half dozen vocalists or more that are every bit as "impressive" as she is, and a whole lot more interesting to boot

This is called horrible singing in my world.

This is to pop singing what a nickelback riff is to playing guitar. Generic as shit.

I mean it's ok to like Paramore as long we're clear this is souless shit music.

[Trotskilicious]

look at that idiotic scarf. it's like she's an extraterrestrial that is trying to mimic rock culture

[Trotskilicious]

charli xcx is more rock and roll than hyayeyley wyillyims

Yeah well she is a clueless provincial hick from mississippi. She wouldn't know cool if it rubbed its balls on her face.

(I mean it's ok to be from mississippi, as long as we're clear that makes you a clueless hick)

[Trotskilicious]

she's from tennessee

[Trotskilicious]

actually i think she was originally signed to be a country singer, a la avril

i just realized that hayley wyllyms is just an avril knockoff.
