thread of miguel

really only "Candles in the Sun" doesn't occupy my brain at all

"Do You" is amazing and if you can't enjoy saccharine reggae without thinking of the worst possible examples thereof i feel sorry for you son

fair burn

i'm about to quit ilx off this "do you" hate, what isn the world

crying acid rain over here

do you like drugs?
have you ever felt alone?
do you still believe in love?

^^such key questions

it is the most romantic song of the year for me

'don't look back' is charmingly ponderous but it's true that I can only stand it about 1/3 of the time

The moment when that slap bass enters the song = best of the year.

on "Do You"? yes, totally

Ok yeah the bass is awesome

the contrast between the glistening blissed out vibe of the song and the drugs'n'bass is what makes it all work

yall love it cos it sounds like steely dan, come clean already

:|

i really should finally listen to steely dan

!!

if something sounded like steely dan i'd readily admit that that's why i like it!

god now i really would give anything to hear The Dukes Of September run through "Do You" now though

is that a demurral then

i don't and i won't but if i were to delete one thing off this lp it'd be 'candles in the wind', p much hate that shit in any version

the keyboards and drums on the 'live' version sound so gross and depressing

removing that would also unencumber 'pussy is mine' from deep cut to light outro closer

ah fuckit ima do it

haha yes

i would guess will hate the dan but can't be sure.

i dunno, lex likes tom waits and leonard cohen, could be a good fit

which era should we start him out with?

prob gaucho

i love this steely dan cover

It can't have too many guitars or "rock" so scratch the first two.

No I'm never gonna do it without The Lex on
Oh no

The moment when that slap bass enters the song = best of the year.

one of the few times i get mad at the sonic limitations of my car stereo

this album sounds a lot better on speakers than on headphones imo, and like to a weird extent

yeah it's true

I dont know how I forgot about the slap bass; I do love that. Was way rong and take it all back.

DON'T
LOOOOOOK
BAAAACK

yes this sounds incredible on good speakers so many things i missed listening through my headphones until i put this on on my computer, and these speakers aren't even THAT good

imo it's all about the interaction between the slap bass and those heavy drums. it's the rhythms of late-90s r&b but with a completely different sonic palette.

as far as "Pussy Is Mine", this is all that really needs to be said about its greatness:

reminds me of a hilarious Wendy & Lisa interview

Did you first think Prince was gay?
Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he's so not gay.
Wendy: He's a girl, for sure, but he's not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.
Lisa: Totally. He's like a fancy lesbian.

haha, I was going to say "like Prince!"

I'm totally willing to settle for the "Miguel is a fancy lesbian" explanation of God, the Universe, and Everything.

he has short stubby legs, just like me. protip miguel: get your pants hemmed longer

his guitarist

the WORST guitar face

in every performance/video, always, the worst

yeah he really is mr. guitar face that guy

just listened to this record finally last night, its really good!

Miguel is definitely a fancier lesbian than Ellen

love how "Adorn" live performances have progressively gotten more swagged out over the last few months

Nice to know that hits matter.

also annoying that miguel always looks fly and his musicians are like -- the guitarist looks like hes in a christian rock band. and the fucking dj is wearing an amerlia earhart hat?

enforce a dress code, miguel

sup ellen!

Noted heterosexual Amelia Earhart.

yahhhh, those guitar faces have been a thorn in my side all year
