Random Crack Music Talk XC: The Infatuation Of Yeezus' Yayo By The Blowhard Rob Ford

[iron yuppie]

Lucius is comprable to what/who?

Reviews have called them a 60s girl group throw-back. Not sure if this is accurate, though.

 

[No spoken words]

I would compare him to the other Death Eaters, although he was one of the more prominent members.

This made me laugh.

 

[Jive Turkey]

The Hives were fucking awesome

 

[IWasBored]

That's cool. I thought veni vidi vicious was ok at best, lame at worst, but mostly just overrated when it came out, so I never gave the band another chance after that.

New Burial EP out December 16th? Yes, please.

 

[nielsgov]

Fuck yes.

 

[bono_212]

Welp, I just heard a song by Delorean on Last.fm. Blew my mind. Time for the crushing disappointment that is sure to follow by my listening to a full album of theirs.

 

[bono_212]

5 tracks in (out of 10) and I am hesitantly optimistic.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, they're great. I love that dreamy, tropical sound of theirs.

 

[bono_212]

I went ahead and listened to their album from this year, despite it's much lower score than the 2010 album, so I'm hoping that it only goes up from here.


This was the song that last.fm played me. From their EP:

Delorean - Seasun - YouTube

 

[BoMac]

Is it sad that I thought 'Now it feels like December' because of Ashley's avatar? It's like an annual tradition.

 

[bono_212]

I do what I can for you all. I am only sorry that I delayed the coming of the month by one day.

I finally bought the movie this year. $5 at K-Mart with two other Hallmark Christmas Classics. This is going to be a banner year indeed.

[No spoken words]

Fucking Hallmark.

 

[bono_212]

Hallmark Christmas Movies are pretty much my second favorite thing in the world, short of b-horror films.

 

[LemonMelon]

They're b-quality and horrifying, so there's not a huge difference there.

 

[bono_212]

Fair point, you may be on to something.

Reviews have called them a 60s girl group throw-back. Not sure if this is accurate, though.

I'd say this is fairly accurate for a high percentage of songs. The album is fairly diverse though, some songs reminding me of Broken Social Scene (How Loud Your Heart Gets), some of Beach House (Tempest), others 60's girl group pop (Turn It Around, Hey Doreen, etc). It's actually quite a solid album, I've been enjoying it.

FYI, Amazon is selling the CD for $7.75 and it comes with an Autorip of the MP3's. Only $1.75 more than the digital only version.

Spoiler

I'm not minding Ordinary Love.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Is there a Chaverches thread? I just came across this. Pretty good version of the song. And why didn't anyone tell me how cute this girl is? *swoon*

You and Mrs. Hewson would get along famously during December.
Non friggin stop Hallmark.

I haven't watched a single Christmas movie yet, and I'm jonesin' bad. I think tonight might be Moonlight and Mistletoe. Then Friday I'm going to my cousin's to watch A Diva's Christmas Carol

 

[IWasBored]

That sounds like hell.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

And why didn't anyone tell me how cute this girl is? *swoon*

Damn, I didn't know either. She's lovely. Just watched a YouTube interview. That accent! I might have stumbled down the rabbit hole of Chaverches interviews on YouTube.

CHVRCHES - "The Mother We Share" (Live at WFUV) - YouTube

Just listened to 3 songs of theirs at random....LIVE Youtube clips...liked them all, like, a lot. Time to check them out in more thorough fashion.

 

[Danny Boy]

CHVRCHES is definitely going in my top 15. It's my favorite Tumblrcore album of the year.

I'm going to do the same.

This is why I made that Recommend An Album with a Song thread. I had no idea what these guys were like. I assumed they were a gothy heavy rock band

 

[bono_212]

Nope, they're part of the core....the TumblrCore.

 

[Jive Turkey]

But I had no idea what that term meant. I think it was Travis who explained it a bit, but it still gave me no idea what the sound was like.... it sounds like tumblr? Plus 'core' to me usually means heavy

 

[bono_212]

I don't know if any of us are really sure what the phrase means, but there's definitely a similarity in sound between artists like MSMR (though they sound more like Florence and the Machine), Charli XCX, CHVRCHES, Sky Ferriera, etc. I don't think there's an actual genre called TumblrCore outside of Interference....
