Unpopular Music Opinions III: Friggin Cobbler Vs. The World

[iron yuppie]

Her new single "Last Friday Night" is another Dr. Luke/Max Martin concoction and sounds like it's trying to be a Ke$ha song...

I immediately thought the same thing when I heard it. The references to glitter and DJs within the first two lines are a Kesha hallmark.

Also, one of the best Sugababes songs, a song which almost certainly would have been a big hit over here, but English pop groups tend to like to stay in England for some reason.

Which Sugababes song? I MUST KNOW!

What do you think about Dr. Luke?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

"About You Now"

 

[corianderstem]

That song is aces.

I like many of their singles (and downright love a few of them), but their albums are too ballad-heavy for me to enjoy.

 

[LemonMelon]

What do you think about Dr. Luke?

I feel that his actions are incongruous with that of a tactful human being; his name itself carries a sizable degree of presumptuous pith that I find grating.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hahah. Nice.

 

[iron yuppie]

What do you think about Dr. Luke?

I probably ought not to divulge my opinion.

Her new single "Last Friday Night" is another Dr. Luke/Max Martin concoction and sounds like it's trying to be a Ke$ha song, but it'll probably be another hit, and the music video is decently amusing, and prominently features Rebecca Black, which is cool.

Oh that's excellent, I hadn't seen the video yet.

That song is ruined by awful lyrics, but I kind of like the hell out of it anyways.

I think I really hate Kesha now. Tik Tok was catchy. As was Love is My Drug. But the whole "I'm a massive whore and proud of it" shtick really wears thin. Plus she is the most downright deplorable live act I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.

I like Firework...'s film clip. On mute.

 

[If you shout...]

There's an incredible tag on the back of an empty billboard casing, between the California and Western stops on Chicago's Blue Line. In fat, pink letters, it reads...

KESHA IS
THE
MESSIAH

Oh lord, is that new? I just rode that juncture today and did not see it.

 

[If you shout...]

I suppose that it may have been covered. But it was alive and well, two weeks ago!

 

[Imperor]

I still can't figure out if I'd bang Kesha or not.

 

[lazarus]

It's okay if you do it out of spite, you know.

 

[cobl04]

I would. No questions asked.

 

[Imperor]

It's okay if you do it out of spite, you know.

I don't find her nearly objectionable enough on the personality front to hate fuck. So it'd have to be legit.

 

[lazarus]

That $ in her name alone is objectionable enough, hombre.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I still can't figure out if I'd bang Kesha or not.

Ha.

I don't think 3 Feet High and Rising and De La Soul is Dead are that brilliant. Very unique, and they've both got quite a few great songs, but the skits, half-songs and the not-very-good songs make them
both a slog to get through.

 

[Saracene]

I absolutely love the rest of the song, but the beginning of Baba O'Riley always annoyed me. I prefer to think that it really starts at around 0:42.

Well, with this in mind, since I agree, I almost never listen to albums in full. You know, only the first bunch of times to suss things out. My iPod has been on playlist shuffles for most of its life. But even my "favourite" albums have at least one or two songs that I skip. Certainly, there are albums that are made to be listened in full, quite a lot of them - and I'll respect that for a select few, but most of the time I don't give a rat's toss.

... maybe I should start not being so uptight about that and my music listening will become much more enjoyable. I'll make a De La playlist.

People's Instinctive etc. + Low End Theory > ...is Dead + 3 Ft. High

 

[LMP]

Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.

 

[LemonMelon]

People's Instinctive etc. + Low End Theory > ...is Dead + 3 Ft. High

Midnight Marauders > all of them

The De La Soul albums are a lot more creative and interesting though, so they get points for that. They're just too long for me to listen to them whenever.

 

[cobl04]

I still haven't got around to Tribe yet. Must rectify that post haste.

 

[LemonMelon]

When Doves Cry would be one of my top 5 favorite Prince songs if it had a bass line. One supposedly genius executive decision that has always gone over my head.

 

[cobl04]

I think there's a really good song somewhere in Swallowed in the Sea. It's just buried beneath layers of mediocrity.
