Thanks to whoever posted about Tove Styrke earlier in the year. She played here last night to a small crowd and it was amazing.

PUGGERNAUT posted:New Romantics is the second best song on the album, behind Style. I don't understand why they're going with such a polarizing song as a single. Yeah, Style not being the biggest single in the world ever is a surprise to me, considering how awesome a song it is. But Blank Space and Shake It Off were more popular, and I think Bad Blood just had a bit more in common with those two, especially being really "stomp-clap"-y like Shake It Off. Wildest Dreams and Clean are the best songs that haven't been released yet, but they're not really radio friendly, and anything else is a bit too generic (I thought How You Get The Girl would be a single, but it's not really the direction she wants to go, I imagine). New Romantics is dope, but it being a bonus track probably hinders it just enough. If Style's relative failure means we don't get more songs that sound like it, I'm gonna be super mad. It's basically a perfect song.

As a non-Swift-fan, I thought Style was just decent, but not something I'd remember a year after it fell off the charts. For comparison I thought that Blank Space was good, and Shake It Off Was catchy but really dumb. I'd comment on Bad Blood, but it's apparently impossible to find on youtube. At least its lyrics look a lot less stupid than Shake It Off? people posted:producers getting top billing over singers (Not so much Guetta since he's generic as hell, and Calvin Harris is getting there too, but the others still have a distinct style.)

New Years & Years single is solid, I'm not feeling it as much as King but it's another great pop song. The album is out in July for the US. https://soundcloud.com/yearsandyears/shine

Is there anyone who isn't in the Bad Blood video? It's a neverending stream of posters of more people. Also, that poster doesn't seem to be available in the UK . If anyone knows a way to get it here, please dish for me. Deformed Church fucked around with this message at 22:58 on May 14, 2015 |

It's a neverending stream of posters of more people. The Bad Blood video looks to be turning out to be a complete mess of people ending up on screen for a couple of seconds each. I don't think people can get away with 15 minute videos in this Youtube world.

The new Brandon Flowers album is streaming on iTunes and the singles are by far the best thing about it, aside from "Lonely Train". I dunno, I'm really not convinced. Can't Deny My Love and the one with the Bronski Beat sample got me so excited.

I'm actually really happy I can disagree with this, I think the album is great and probably the most consistent piece of work he's been involved in so far. If I HAD to find ANYTHING to criticize, it would probably be that Diggin' Up The Heart sounds a little bit too Las Vegas after the first couple of listens, but that doesn't diminish my appreciation of the whole thing at all. My album of the year so far, even better than Froot.

Naturally it blew me the gently caress away, and if it gets legs, I could see this being the hit of the summer. one of the posts I read about it called it a mixture of Rhianna and Tove Lo, but the piano throughout reminds me of that early-2000's R&B sound.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:At first, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, with a song about bigger women being confident and owning their sexuality, plus I'm a sucker for that '50s/early '60s sound. But now I realize she's like a living, breathing John Waters musical. I thought it was less about being confident and owning sexuality and more about trying to feel ok with being fat because someone, somewhere will still want to gently caress you. In other news, Mariah Carey can still sing. She almost certainly lip synced in faster songs like Dreamlover and Honey, but she has the ballads on lock. Her whistle notes were in good form last night, too.

http://pitchfork.com/news/59569-kendrick-lamar-plays-welvin-da-great-in-taylor-swifts-bad-blood-video/ Bad Blood video is out. Pretty forgettable, as expected most of those people are just in it for 2-3 second cameos (not really a 15 minute video with a cool storyline: was hoping for something akin to Telephone), expected better from Kahn as I liked Detention. Kendrick's verses play nicely into the song though and I like this arrangement better than the one on the album.

I still maintain that Bad Blood is one of the worst songs on 1989, and a terrible single choice. But Kendrick Lamar owns. So I'm gonna have to watch this after all.

After listening to it and the album version back to back, the new one is way better. It felt like the way the song was always supposed to be, with the lame verses being filler until they could get Kendrick in the studio. The song sounds a little sharper too, particularly in the bass (and that trap sound toward the end), and it's 13 seconds shorter. Much improved.

Yeah, the video is kind of cool, but also a bit of a mess. It really does feel like a trailer. I'll hold out hope for a surprise feature length version with a story and whatnot. I think I'm warming up to Bad Blood as a song though.

Taylor and Selena are awesome kung fu ladies, fighting and stealing whatever is in that suitcase, then Selena betrays Taylor and knocks her out a window. Taylor goes and gets fixed by whatever weirdass society she's a part of, finds a bunch of people and makes a team full of rear end-kicking ladies to fight Selena's team of rear end-kicking ladies. Also Lena Dunham is there as a mob boss or some poo poo.

If this is it then dang what a waste although most of these people were probably like "Hey I'm shooting a video wanna be in it? Yeah OK." The video arrangement is at least better than the album one.
