Yoshifan823 posted:Also in pop cover news: Bleachers released a free album on Google Play of covers from their album. Carly Rae Jepsen, Sia, and Charli XCX and Sara Barielles are among the artists with a song on it, which proves once again that Jack Antonoff has excellent taste in pop music. I really really liked Fun.'s album, but Jack Antonoff and Nate Ruess's solo work has blown it out of the water.

Superrodan posted:What do you think of their new album? I think it's right about average with a few tracks that are good and a lot of tracks that are forgettable. This is probably my favorite: Holy poo poo, I thought Butterfly had been their last work together. Thanks for letting me know there's a new album, I'm really liking this song

I am helping Carly Rae Jepsen's failure of a marketing team by buying tickets to see her in November.

The CHVRCHES album is also pretty good. I really like 'Never Ending Circles', 'Leave A Trace', 'Clearest Blue', 'High Enough To Carry You Over', 'Empty Threat' and 'Afterglow'. I guess some people might say that they ~haven't evolved~ but I bet the same people would say that they ruined it if they had.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They've got a very specific sound but I love it, and if anything they've honed it to perfection. I love CHVRCHES.

I missed the presale and it's sold out now. I don't want to drop $65 on an aftermarket ticket  Y'all loving crazy for thinking that CRJ wouldn't sell out a 1000-capacity venue in NYC, by the way. I know she's mismanaged, but she's not that mismanaged. Hopefully her star continues to plummet and I'll be able to pick something up cheap on StubHub day-of, I guess. e: cheapest is $60 on StubHub after fees; wasn't it $35 after fees originally. argghhhh abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Oct 3, 2015 |

There are parts on the new Janet Jackson album where she just sounds eerily like Michael. More than ever before. It's really strange.

There are so many moments where I think it's going to turn into a Taylor Swift 1989 song, like "Blank Space" or "Out of the Woods" or "Style" especially. So, this is probably the right thread for this album.

The new Metric album came out the same day as chrvches and it's very good too. Would be a shame to see it get lost in the mix, Cascades and The Shade are both great pop songs.

My disappointment is so much higher than my excitement for a new Charli song. I'm surprised no one's been talking about the new Selena and Demi albums honestly. I've found both uneven but some real solid songs on both. In the long run, Demi's is a most complete album imo.

Why does nobody seem to do live albums any more? Used to be everyone had a live album, even if it was an MTV Unplugged one. Is it because of YouTube?

Live shows are one of the only ways artists can make real money these days since records don't sell nearly the same as they used to, and live albums could cannibalize those profits. It's much more lucrative to keep the live shows a dynamic, one-time experience to boost ticket sales. 2. Lots of pop artists can't back up their recording sound on a live stage. This isn't even much of a knock on them in my opinion. Stadiums aren't designed to sound good, tour schedules don't revolve around a singer's health, etc.

It's hard enough to get people to buy studio albums. Live albums are probably seen as an even bigger risk, despite the lower production cost. I could see them making a comeback as a digital-only product, but live CDs are probably dead for the most part. Videos are much more likely. And you do still see those sometimes. (I know a few years ago there was a growing trend of providing a live recording of a concert as a bonus for people who attended the concert, but I don't know if that ever took off.)

So last night's South Park had Demi Lovato on it. They were using her as the strawman against fat shaming. Demi Lovato, who's vocally outspoken about her struggles with her body image and eating disorders and self-harm. Good job South Park, you really pick the right people to take down a peg.

Yeah, after knocking it out of the park for the most part with the other episodes, I really felt this one fell super flat. It just showed a supreme lack of any kind of even cursory research on the subject of the attack and made the whole episode worse as a whole.

No one is talking about Adele's new song? I like it, her voice sounds very clear and beautiful. It's not as catchy as some of her other singles but it's nice to see her back. I wonder how well it'll do on the radio, obviously it's going to sell very well.

I got E-Mo-Tion on Vinyl a few days ago, and during my first listen, it's like a revelation all over again. I don't know if it's my record player or the disc, but it sounds like everything is playing at about 5 BPM slower, and it really amps up the 80s level. Also it means there's more of it, even if there aren't any bonus songs on the record.
