I'm curious what those who have been around the indie block think of this band in comparison to bands like Bright Eyes or Modest Mouse. I'm not saying I don't enjoy Cardinal and Size of the Moon is an undeniable song, but I can't help but feel like it's been done better by artists who are largely no longer part of the conversation.
he made it soundcloud official by uploading a new song https://soundcloud.com/chancetherapper
considering how often we have to hear about blok getting called out by FMJ, I guarantee every other commenter on here would too
i think you just nailed it
am I crazy that I think their new tracks sound a little boring? I know they're always growers, but when you compare them to 'two weeks' or 'yet again' they're way less immediate
this is really great and i think 'full screen' would really speak to the stereogum audience
can't wait for his comeback solo album. Hopefully some mike finito beats on there too
You should listen to Nas Album Done off of Major Key. Thats a straight up amazing song. Lyrically Nas goes in when you know he didn't have to and its produced by Cool & Dre (even though Khaled is credited too.)
Does he sing about it in his songs? I wouldn't know cuz Diiv is too boring to make it through a whole album
bruh if you want definitions of words you can google it. You've been trolling on pretty much any topic stereogum posts that you can possibly troll on. Someone needs to get this dude out of here before someone drops the 'lena dunham' bomb
I would also argue that she wasn't THAT ratchet. Especially when compared to literally every other popular male rapper right now
I'm not super familiar with her music but other than possibly the song she made with Mike Will Made it and the whole Robin THicke thing, in what way did she represent those negative stereotypes? That album was mostly generic pop hits with popular sounds of the times, and talking about how she liked her boyfriends armpits smelled even though they were gross young and wild and free kind of comments. She always struck me as the IDGAF junior year art school student and made an album that anyone in that mindset would've loved to have made
Would you still think she's a disgusting sack of fecal matter if she looked like allison williams?
Or could you could say it was a mixture of both, and probably a couple of other things too. On the Lena Dunham hatred, it seems pretty obvious that americans from all ends of the spectrum still pretty much hate women, especially ones that aren't fit to ogle in a lingerie magazine.
Drake adds more filler to hit #1, Kendrick adds more bars and more concepts
He meant to say 'Higher Creatine'. That vanilla bean hemp protein powder is not giving his comments the gains he really desires.
does anyone actually want a kendrick and j cole album? That would be first kendrick release I intentionally avoid
I think indie-curious fan or serious rap fan, you really just can't account for those horrible lyrics https://twitter.com/BigGhostLtd/status/736706793544384512?lang=en
I guess for comparison it costs about one million dollars to make one Rihanna song http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/07/05/137530847/how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-a-hit-song
Some one on reddit posted a version where the vocals aren pitched up if you want to hear that too: http://picosong.com/DW9z/
Do you have iTunes installed on your computer? You can add all your mix tape songs through iCloud music library but you have to sign in to your apple account through your iTunes and upload your songs to the cloud. I say this only because I recently got apple music for free and was pretty skeptical about it, but it's honestly awesome. It pretty frequently recommends songs I actually get obsessed with (which has never happened with discover on spotify) and its kinda awesome to download my illegal mp3's ripped from youtube and have them on my phone to listen to while driving without having to actually do anything
I've been listening to telephone since it came out. It's really really great. Yesterday is a low key top 100 song of the year material. I love the vibe of the album and feel like its the kind of album I'm not going to listen to very often, but as it randomly comes up I definitely won't skip for years to come
The guitar solo on We're Not Alone on that album is basically legendary to me at this point. J mascis' solo album Several Shades of Why from 2011 has at least a couple straight up classics too
I seem to remember the uber CEO saying that if elon musk ever invents fully autonomous cars he'd buy all of them. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-daimler-uber-idUSKCN0WK1C8
this is the best, most official list
You should really check out their last album Get Disowned if you haven't. Hands over feet better than this one (although I do think Waitress might be the best song they've done)
Love the song but that album art is roughhh
reminds me of a more fleshed out version of his track 24 hour karate school he dropped a couple years ago.
I'm curious how you know drake vs. quentin millers involvement in this? I didn't think it was that big of a deal til I heard the know yourself reference track because that felt pretty damning. Maybe I just don't know enough though.
Best modest mouse single yet
I like the song even if I'm not blown away. I must say that I gotta give props to the PR people marketing this album because I haven't really listened to lampshades on fire since it came out today, and I came to stereogum today specifically to look up the release date of the album and find this has just been released.
Ariel Pink is what I imagine Jeff Koons art sounds like
Not really casting stones or making comments about his music or anything, but it's worth noting that maybe by calling Grimes "stupid and retarded" is kind of the "delusional misogyny" that he's accused of
Black ballerinas sounds like what a jeff koons piece would sound like if it could write music
Her "If they were white would they be considered “props”?" comment was pretty interesting. I think she might actually just be a racist prover, and we're all actually the racists for even thinking that she thought they were props
I'm pretty sure my first exposure to video gum was a link from stereo gum where Gabe was making fun of the Lil Wayne Mrs. Officer video for how secretly gay lil wayne was, and thinking it was the funniest/ most self aware/subversive I'd ever seen on the internet. I sadly only check video gum a couple times a year for the last year or two sadly, but then totally randomly stop by and this is what I see and now I'm devastated.....
I still spend a way lot of time staring out windows mourning the lost recaps...
