whoa, thx for the warning, i will avoid wasting my time on Bright Light Bright Light.

well also the chessnutt record is pretty boring, dope singles tho

hipsters used to like Cody Chesnutt though right? I'm confused
― Number None, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think Cody Chesnutt is considered un-friendly to "hipsters" but honestly I didn't know he released a 2012 record until just now. People who remember him from 10 years ago would probably be happy to hear whatever he's been up to.

Cody ChestnuTT became cool the same year as Interpol, what happened
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
tbh i never heard any of his shit besides "The Seed 2.0" which was trash
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
if only there was some way for some dude to find the time to hear an album and form an opinion.
alas
― is that my hand, dolphin? (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
wait i'm supposed to have listened to it in the 12 minutes since you brought it up?
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:31 (eleven years ago) link
oh no sorry Fastnbulbous brought it up 14 minutes ago
lol whiney I'm hardly a hipster.
― billstevejim, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
"The Seed 2.0" which was trashregardless, people know this song and he has name recognition. If the album is that good, I'm surprised it wasn't more widely reviewed.
xpost that's not my point. did you know that Solange put out a record this year?
― is that my hand, dolphin? (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
i knew CC and S both put out records this year, for the same reason from the same media outlets (if not in the same quantities)
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:34 (eleven years ago) link
i mean 6 months you were going "R&B skimming hipsters are sleeping on this guy called USHER and this guy called R. KELLY" so who knows what you're even talking about
no one is talking to you al
― is that my hand, dolphin? (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
lol sorry after you directed one post at me i assumed the next one was as well
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
oh you were asking me? yeah i heard Solange's EP. it's good.
― billstevejim, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
i'm saying that Solange is reaping the benefit of "cool" (read: """"""HIPSTER"""""") media outlest giving it mad props, while the Cody album is flying under the press radar, even though its prolly selling much better
― is that my hand, dolphin? (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
the CC was reviewed on Pitchfork and hasn't charted on Billboard, do you have any idea how many R&B albums the inverse is true for? weird example.
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
I did like "The Seed" more than Interpol until I heard it in a "Six Feet Under" episode and that's where it went

"reviewed" and "has constant updates about" are two different things breh, stop playing babe in the woods here
― is that my hand, dolphin? (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:49 (eleven years ago) link
hey i realize its critical profile is not high, i just don't buy the imaginary "prolly selling much better" populist argument
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
CC appeared on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop and Heatseeker charts; Solange has not yet
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
although apparently the EP has only been out a week
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
Solange debuted at #157 on the Billboard 200 this week
― some dude, Thursday, 6 December 2012 20:58 (eleven years ago) link

I think one more pair of square quotes around HIPSTER in Whiney's post would've closed the loop for me, as it is I'm scanning his entire being as ironic.

from DeRo's Miguel blurb:
Finally breaking from the weight of expectations as well as genre constrictions, Kaleidoscope Dream gives us an artist with a unique vision, boundless potential and a weird haircut every bit as notable as that distaff visionary working similar turf, Janelle Monae. And wouldn’t those two be a concert double bill to die for?

DeRogatis :Channel Orange - On his first album, this 24-year-old New Orleans native offers a vision for remaking R&B that’s arguably as powerful as those from greats such as D’Angelo, Prince, Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. Heartfelt, sensual, sexy but devoid of sexism, these tracks are lush and inviting but never less than unflinchingly raw and honest.
