sorta get a veronicas vibe off it?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 March 2012 18:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah i kinda get that too.
the single song it reminds me most of is "teenage dream" - first the fact that it heavily uses teen pop themes despite being performed by someone well out of her teens, but especially its structure and the fact that the syncopated string stabs during the chorus are just like the synths on katy perry's chorus

can al ship give me a report on young the giant's "cough syrup"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 March 2012 17:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
the flo rida joint "good feeling" is kinda my shit
"cough syrup" is one of those songs that won't seem to die if for no other reason than they refuse to release a follow-up single (and it's only their 2nd single). i don't really like it but their first hit "my body" was kind of a guilty pleasure joint for me.

is it about drank or what
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
afaict it's just a dumb rock song about having a cold and drinking cough syrup? but i only realize now that it is kind of funny that 'Cough Syrup by Young The Giant' sounds like a description of a southern rap hit about getting throwed and not a wussy power ballad by a faux indie band.

is young the giant good at all?
― Pup Shalom Dog Costume (forksclovetofu), Friday, 9 March 2012 03:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
i like their two singles. i had heard their song "cough syrup" back when they had another name so i was surprised to hear it on the radio like two years later. i have no idea if they have any other good songs.

lol i had to check and see what band name could possibly so bad that they'd have to change it to 'young the giant' and yup, 'the jakes' is even worse

like a lot. it was also the victoria's secret campaign song.
yeah the victoria's secret thing was the song's big mainstream breakthrough but i think it's been in a ton of shows and stuff since then, gets a lot of airplay on alt-rock radio too

The gay dance station here has been giving it blanket play for like 2 months at least.

isn't that song forever old? maybe it isn't, i haven't really payed her any attn. what is the expiration date for songs to become hits in america after they've already done their thing overseas? like a year?
― teledyldonix, Friday, 16 March 2012 22:31 (1 year ago) Permalink
i was also wondering about midnight city. i heard it in commercials and stuff but that was a while ago. i also heard it on an alternative station a few days ago so i guess its airplay must be picking up -- it still isn't selling super well, at least as far as i can tell, so airplay is probably the only way it could have debuted all the way up at 74.
― teledyldonix, Friday, 16 March 2012 22:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
the reason for Midnight City entering the Billboard Hot 100 is the inclusion of streaming data (plays on Spotify and the like) in the chart tracings as of this week.
from Billboard.com (not sure I can make the link, hmmm...):"Other notable titles on the On-Demand Songs chart that are outperforming their sales rankings and airplay placements on the Hot 100's main component charts (Digital Songs and Radio Songs) include Tyga's "Rack City," Big Sean's "Dance (A$$)" and Avicii's "Levels." The addition of streaming data to the Hot 100 thusly boosts these songs' standings on that chart, as evidenced by the No. 15 rank for Tyga (instead of No. 18), the No. 40 rank for Big Sean (instead of No. 52) and the No. 66 rank for Avicii (instead of No. 80). Moreover, artists such as M83 at No. 74 (with "Midnight City"), and Skrillex at No. 83 (with "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites"), debut and re-enter, respectively, on the Hot 100 primarily due to the influx of data from the newly incorporated streaming services. Also, a prior established hit, "You Da One" by Rihanna (No. 31 on On-Demand Songs), moves 97-76 on this week's Hot 100, whereas it would have fallen off the chart if the list's methodology had not been changed."

make that "chart rankings"...so who knows, if you play your favorite song on endless repeat on Spotify (US), it might actually end up in the Hot 100...
