Man, I want to be in a music video where the band/artist shows me a drum machine and teaches me how to play their song! I may not be an adorable kid, but I’m sure we can make it work.
Bear in Heaven, Austra, I’m looking at you in particular.
But the post did say *NME’s* 100 Best Tracks of the 90s, so…yeah.
I’m disappointed in this thread–I was looking forward to Michael_’s cosmic melt down because someone else aside from him got their avatar up on a post.
This is… kind of a ridiculously fun song.
Yeah, same here… as much as I love Beach House, this one isn’t doing it for me so far.
And maybe Flying Lotus is listening to lots of Emily Reo and then confusing early Beach House with new Beach House? Who knows!
Seriously! I saw the headline and then the fact that this post is at the top of the Most Commented posts right now, and just though: UH OH.
But I have been very pleasantly surprised with how many positive comments I’ve seen so far.
I am all about Team Feministgum, but how is this review sexist? Because he says it’s a shame that she appears to be a strong/put together women but writes songs that seem to put all of her happiness in codependent romantic relationships with men? That seems like the opposite of sexist to me.
If it makes you feel any better, her small club show in Boston sold out ridiculously fast (I was online the minute they went on sale to the general public–I forgot there was a presale : (–and got nothing), yet a week or two after tickets went on sale for her next concert in a much larger venue, I was able to get tickets in the second row of the balcony… which I was totally not expecting. Maybe the tickets are too expensive for everyone (or alternately everyone sprung for the more expensive ground floor tickets?), I don’t know. The one thing I had about the small club concert was not very good too, so maybe that has something to do with it, but my point is maybe it’s not just your area.
I am sorry your friends kinda suck in regards to Fiona Apple though.
When it first started I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the Sgum on a daily basis so it didn’t seem like a super useful feature to me personally, but I have to say it’s pretty nice to have on weeks where I am hosed and can’t keep up with 3 or so new pages of posts a day. Though if it’s that much of a pain to make in Photoshop then a more simplified version might not be a bad idea…
Whoa.
It’s so weird to think that all this actually kind of was a while ago by now. I thought I was getting a little more used to this getting older business, but nope, still weird.
Also, I find it interesting what this list says to me about the restrictiveness of FM radio… 1997 was the year that I started getting into modern music, yet there are so many songs on this list that I was only vaguely aware of… and really that was probably just from the small handful of MTV and VH1 shows that played music outside of the top 10 (I guess that was a year or two before you could only see these things on 120 Minutes, once). But yeah, no way any of the radio stations (at least where I was growing up) played 50 different songs by primarily different artists.
Man, on one hand, that drop shadow is just awful.
On the other hand, it’s kinda nice when the graphic design is a good indicator of the quality that lurks inside.
THOUGH, at least I have a new horrible song to make people listen to on their birthday.
Yeeeah, as bad as the lyrics are to this song, you really should hear the lyrics to the *rest* of the songs on this album. I cannot recall the last time I cringed as hard as when I heard the other song on the album with Nicki Minaj.
Mr. Howse! Mr. Howse! Tell the viewers, how does it feel to be a meme now?
Huh, for a second there I misread that as Feist covers Madonna, and Madonna covers Feist. Then I realized what it *actually* said was just about as crazy.
D’oh, that comment wasn’t supposed to post there.
Well, while I’m here… it strikes me less that she is recycling videos from that time period than she is trapped in her sex and religion themes, which she has been since her last album (at least).
Man, if ever a music video was made to be screened in gay clubs…
And now I have this mental image of you being like “The new Beach House leaked?! Time to crack open the top shelf!”
This is quite possible what we all should be doing.
Damn, there are just more and more reasons to hate scalpers.
(And by yesterday I know mean 2 days ago on account of my computer being screwy.)
Hell, *yesterday* was stacked with news about exciting new music–new Beach House song, Bear in Heaven’s new album available for download on pre-order, and *anything* related to new Fiona Apple… ::swoon::
I don’t know, that kind of makes it better.
Word about “Slow Life” there, Donnytilla.
Also, Nick, Victoria sang some backing vocals on the studio version of “Two Weeks”–hence her performing it with them whenever she can. So there’s footage of her singing that with them on one of the late night shows as well (I forget which one, was Conan still late night on NBC then?).
Nice, I like how they address the lip-synching thing in music videos by making it someone singing along to the music on their headphones.
Seriously! I am pretty baffled how it didn’t end up on Stereogum’s list, it’s easily my favorite album this year so far.
