Random Music Talk CVI: Leave Kanye Alone!!!!!

[liamcool]

Hip Hop is so negative though

I listen to Joy Division. With a name like that, they're guaranteed to make me happy!

Did anyone watch the Stevie Wonder tribute thing last night? Some really great performances in that.

I caught just a few stray minutes here and there while channel surfing. Was impressed by Annie Lennox as well as Pharell and Tedder.

 

[Danny Boy]

Valentine's Day missed opportunity...

 

[Hewson]

You can recycle it for Steak and BJ Day next month

 

[Danny Boy]

I will now listen to the new Imagine Dragons album on Beats to make certain they are really the derivative generic indie-pop band that I take them for.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yep.

 

[bono_212]

Not that I have any strong feelings for them, but maybe don't use the critically panned album to check them out?

They had like two really great arena rock tracks on that last album, but the rest of it devolved too thoroughly into trying to sound badass that I lost interest.

Still, this new album is supposedly really bad, so not exactly the go-to source.

Annie Lennox killed it, as did Lady Gaga. But my favorite was Janelle Monae, India Arie and Jill Scott singing "As." Damn, that was great.

The debut actually has an even lower metascore.

Imagine Dragons just suck really hard.

 

[u2popmofo]

I don't mind their big singles.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, I already heard the debut. I thought I shouldn't write them off based on just one album.

Invoking the Bono rule: two crap albums in a row and you're done.

By all means, then

And I didn't realize that about the debut

 

[LemonMelon]

At their current rate of improvement, they'll make something worth listening to by 2035!

 

[cobl04]

WELL, THlS IS ME DONE FOR THE DAY

Try Re-constructing the Samples of Popular Producers' Beats

 

[lazarus]

Am I the only Breaking Bad fan who has no interest in Better Call Saul?

Not sure if I'd describe myself as a "fan" but I did enjoy most of BB.

That was a good avatar...may need to switch back.

I wasn't a fan of Saul's character, so just no interest in watching anything with him at its center.

That's exactly how I feel.

I hate Imagine Dragons production. The song Polaroid on their new album sounds like it was written by Lorde and her producers.

 

[IWasBored]

you know what imagine dragons song i hate the most?

[PhilsFan]

Bastille's lead singer is my sworn enemy.

 

[IWasBored]

You know what's pretty much the exact opposite of Bastille &Imagine Dragons?

Blur - The Magic Whip. April 27th.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow. 2015 has been insane so far.

 

[nielsgov]

That's awesome.

Here's the single.
Blur - Go Out

 

[IWasBored]

And a recipe for vanilla ice cream.

 

[IWasBored]

There is a band called Reptar. And yes, they are named after the dinosaur from Rugrats. I have no idea what they sound like*. But they're named after the dinosaur from Rugrats.


*edit: they suck. Too bad, the name made me laugh.

 

[bono_212]

There almost seems to be a direct correlation between awesome referential band names and how much they suck.

I've decided that I'm going to be way over the top in a positive way in EYKIW from now on. I've stepped back and thought about my overall feeling towards U2 as well as their place in history and I've come to realize that there is way too high of a negative balance at Interference. So not only will I continue to welcome new members, but I'm going to make, make it right in EYKIW.

Blur - The Magic Whip. April 27th.

It Is Accomplished.

Good luck, every other album coming out this year.
