If you had asked me a month ago what new ABBA music should sound like I don’t think I could up with this because it’s just too perfect

It’s straight from 1978 and god bless them for coming back

It's absolutely my favourite kind of pop group reformation, come back with a more refined take on what you were doing really well already.

Every time I go to listen to a Trainor song I think this shouldn't be as boring as it is.

We call them Charlies Puth. They have perfect pitch and music degrees and clear ability in the real of music production and they spend it making songs with Meghan Trainor where the chorus goes “Let’s Marvin Gaye and get it on”

That song is still on the work playlist and I hate it more every time it plays.

Todd In The Shadows has the best comparison about her: "a clip art stock photo of a pop star".

Yeah that tracks, I mostly remember when she got a big hero entrance in the "HEY GUYS THERE'S A REAL POP STAR HERE" vein at an Ubisoft E3 show to promote one of the Just Dance games and she got zero reaction. I had no idea who she was but I also wasn't even trying to follow pop music at the time so I had an excuse.

She has similar energy to Keanu Reeves or Tony Slattery in the UK in the 90s. The Keanu thing was always "Keanu gets work because Keanu answers the phone" and the joke about Slattery was that his answering machine message was "I'll do it". So the idea of her just being someone so hungry for success that she'll take any booking fits with my view of her pretty well.

Taylor's whole thing is being seen to be a good person and while I have a cynical view of that because of my world view I will not argue with that manifesting as giving fat stacks directly to the support crew.

Star Walkin' has been on the work playlist since it came out and I hear it about 3 times a day. Between that and it being the theme for the League of Legends World Championship last year I've come to despise that song in a way that really isn't fair.

I was thinking this last night, going all out on the "YO I ENJOY loving" angle in music rarely comes across as actually sexy. It only works (to me at least) when it's all implications, even if those are extremely obvious ones, or understands that it's funny to be this blunt. Stuff like Doja and honestly Kim Petras too just comes across as being unabashedly horny and slutty but not in a way that actually makes it sound fun.

Robbie Williams is one of the most singularly interesting people in pop music and I really want to watch that series. I remember Jason briefly was trying to break into acting but nothing came of it so if he's decided he's happy being alone with his family and whatever money he made from Take That I fully support him getting out.

Can confirm, I have a few cassettes and on a good player they sound great. Now no-one who's buying a Taylor Swift album on cassette is going to be listening to it on a good player though they're going to listen on a lovely cheap Walkman knockoff they got off Amazon for $20. They're probably not going to be on good tapes either, since I don't think you can get Chrome or Metal tapes any more.

Now Minidisc, that's a real sweet spot if you want nostalgia bucks while also something that'll probably sound good on any player.

I had the same immediate reaction before remembering she did a decent song with Sam Smith a while back. She was one of the Fifth Harmony girls, which is a group I still believe never actually existed because I never heard anyone say the name Fifth Harmony until after the group was dead.
