I've just finished listening to this entire album, and you've really got to hear it. It's pure outsider art - fucking brilliant. Makes Peaches and Le Tigre sound like Taylor Swift. Seriously, here's the Spotify link, judge for yourself. I haven't heard anything this alienating in years - the Autotune abuse is so over the top and jarring, the lyrics are so disconnected and seemingly random, there's no way this happened by accident. This girl (because I think she produced this herself, I can't find credits anywhere) is some kind of insane genius.

super interesting thing about it is that it really is an audible lesson in what autotune can't fix. compare this to the flavor flav single from a few years back. flav can't sing for shit, but he has the basic idea down - he just has bad pitch. he sings the song, they autotune the shit out of it, now when he sings "deeeeep" it sounds like a robot hitting the note. on this, her leaps are so far from the actual melody that AT or melodyne just corrects to something near it, and it's still audibly wrong. then they build the track around that, it sounds like. this is less outsider than...like those sound-library discs collectors get obsessed with?

not having seen the show & having only these to go on I gotta say there's something in the earnestness of her delivery and the unrevised bluntness of the lines that's kind of moving in the way some GUYS I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING ABOUT THE WORLD hardcore used to be, these lyrics that'd be like THERE HAS TO BE!

I'll have moved on to something else for sure, but this is a completely different kind of kick for me. Rebecca Black (who I never got even momentarily interested in) was a girl trying to make pop music and mostly failing; this is something else. I'm genuinely unsure whether this girl thinks she's making pop records which could be hits, or whether she's making some kind of bizarro confessional art-song. To tie it into something Scott said on Facebook, I feel like Editions Mego should license this album and put it out with cover art designed by Stephen O'Malley and see what happens.

The album is quite remarkable. As mentioned upthread, it really doesn't sound like it ended up being weird, abrasive and disjointed accidentally. Appalling music can certainly take on a strange avant-garde quality without meaning to but this sounds more deliberate and focused somehow.

"where nothing works properly and physical forces are preordained to make everything go wrong" <-- i feel this v strongly

people were attracted to both because they're both, by most standards, 'terrible, ugly records' with amateurish production values and a sloppiness that leads one to question the very inception of said music. and yet both have their boosters who claim that this all belies some deeper more intrinsic appeal and who would genuinely defend the record. okay they didn't spring from entirely the same font, but if you can't see the parallels beyond "they are both pretty and female", well i'd say you're being deliberately obtuse.

Or more succinctly, both count as recent examples of 'outsider pop' (with the emphasis on pop). Interestingly they approach it from two different walks of life - one the disenfranchised young mum producing the work pretty mubytes rough her own wherewithall, the other a rich schoolgirl whose own parents paid to have their daughter make the video.

As for 'blowing up', I'm not sure if this'll have the same popularity and impact as 'Friday' but I hear about it through an online news story linked through fb so someone must be talking about it. Fwiw I'm Britishers and don't subscribe to MTV so to me this is completely new.

connection drawn between RB and FA makes sense to me. they're both young women who came to pop through nonstandard channels, making vanity press music that resembles what you hear on hits radio, but which doesn't quite succeed by chartpop's conventional standards. the fact that there's something "off" about their music is a big part of the story and appeal in each case, though the two are obviously quite different in other respects. for obvious starters, FA's music and lyrics are much, much weirder.

if she made it
no way she produced it. it's unmistakably some hired gun shit and yet the production reminds me of youtube tutorial videos for massive. like, there's a level of detail in the production (the filter sweeps, effects, etc) that's so at odds with the randomness of the vocals that i would be shocked if she said she did it herself. but then the dubstep wobble shit sounds really weak and amateurish, it makes me picture a middle-aged engineer at a start-up studio getting the gig and being told "here, just make a bunch of tracks for her to sing over and do what you can, btw we need it by tuesday."

She's in college now, wouldn't be surprised to learn that this was some collaboration with an undergrad amateur producer in one of her classes or something. A lot of my students make music that sounds like the backing tracks. Or they could be demos from a D-list professional producer. But it still doesn't explain how they chose to match the vocals with the music.

Maybe this is avant garde maybe not but it's definitely (to borrow a phrase from George Harrison) "avant garde a clue". Someone with no talent but lots of publicity producing something. It's 'outsider art' in the sense that it is outside the realm of good taste but this isn't some homeless lady or mentally challenged individual or otherwise obsessive artist type who feel driven to create. This is a shitty vanity project that will get lots of un-needed attention from people that think they are being brilliant in calling it avant garde.

I don't think anyone who has reviewed it has called it "avant garde," just put the end result in relation to avant garde and experimental stuff (where it belongs) rather than "vanity pop from a reality TV star" (where it also belongs, but not in the way people have put it there, I guess?). AFAIK nobody knows how this thing was actually produced yet, but the possibility that FLA is actually an experimental artist doing an extended performance art piece on "Teen Mom" a la Joaquin Phoenix doesn't really seem likely.

I'm glad they put a lot of thought into the title, anyway:
The 21-year-old Teen Mom star has closed a deal with Vivid Entertainment, who will soon release an X-rated video of Abraham titled Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom.

also to those clamoring for a cd copy of my teenage dream ended, apparently our prayers have been answered... just in the form of my satanic dream ended and limited to 50 copies

She got paid 1.5M for a single video? Actual pornstars barely get that money in a decade. I dont feel sad for her but I do feel sad as a consumer, they keep force feeding us mediocre reality tv trash such as this woman, tricking us into thinking she's somehow worthy of pop stardom.

I try to divorce Farrah Abraham the enormously talented outsider artist from Farrah Abraham the reality TV star who is probably under contract with Vivid by now.

i was surprised by: 1) how clear it is that this was just produced as straight up porn, not even trying to preserve the myth, 2) immediate anal and lots of it.
― dylannn, Thursday, 23 May 2013 02:26 (Yesterday) Permalink
If you make a poll amongst middle class, single American moms asking them to do a hardcore video (anal included) for that amount of money I wouldnt be surprised if most of them said yes.
― Moka, Thursday, 23 May 2013 06:54 (Yesterday) Permalink
Regarding the straight up porn: at first the idea was to create it as an accidental sex tape leak but co-star James Deen refused to do it argumenting that if you want to do a sex tape you dont hire a well known pornstar. (I think he was hired per Farrah's request).
― Moka, Thursday, 23 May 2013 07:19 (Yesterday) Permalink
Also apparently she thinks she was the highlight of a lifetime for James Deen and that he has been stalking her and wants to date her. I dont know if she's seriously that delusional or she just loves saying idiotic things for the attention but I want to slap her. Hardly.

why? the music and the reality show stuff obviously came from the same place

Because I enjoyed it more when I had no context (I'd never heard of her prior to the album). Knowing who she is takes some of the magic out of it--this sex tape is her Texas Monthly 1999 interview.
― kaleb h. (Everything You Like Sucks), Thursday, 23 May 2013 07:43 (Yesterday) Permalink
"enormously talented outsider artist" is a funny phrase because the way people enjoy the record is pretty divorced from notions of her being a conventionally 'talented' singer or songwriter

I am terribly shocked that something called 'Backdoor Teen Mom' is NOT a leaked sex tape as previously advised.
