Still pissed her UK date sold out in basically seconds

guess she's more popular overseas; still tix available for the show in my town.
def agree w/ brad's comment upthread that she's v funny.

Yeah, I have feelings about this video. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but if I am, I don't want to be right.
(Love/partnership/etc looks appealing from afar, then when you see it on full display you realize how absurd and ridiculous it is.)

don't forget the racial aspect
― 龜, Friday, 15 April 2016 11:12 (eight years ago) link
The racial aspect seems like the key element in it (I saw a story online where she acknowledges this). Japanese woman spurned by clean-cut white American boy who first leads her on
― curmudgeon, Friday, 15 April 2016 14:19 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I picked up on that too after I read the story, but initially I thought she really captured and condensed the timeline of "this person I like likes me" -> "oh no, this person is with someone else now" -> "look at those assholes!"

lol I guess that's a difference between you and me in that that's literally the first thing i noticed 10 seconds in

I haven't hyped anything to myself as much in ages, but I'm not disappointed. It's wonderful. I just wish it was like, ten minutes longer.
Getting some very Cardigans vibes from Thursday Girl and Crack Baby.

Yes! That is a stand-out. I also loved I Bet On Losing Dogs. So powerful.
I tried getting tickets to see her over a month before her last gig in London and they'd sold out! Bought my tickets for October already.

hm, that's amazing. "My Body's Made of Crushed Little Stars" is an incredible song, the only standout for me so far. But it'll take some time with the rest. That song though, boy.
― flappy bird, Friday, 10 June 2016 03:07 (seven years ago) link
first song sounds like Xiu Xiu
― flappy bird, Monday, 13 June 2016 01:56 (seven years ago) link
almost all of this lady's influences seem pretty 1990s, this album could've come out when i was in college. not a bad thing. just not entirely what i expected.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 20 June 2016 18:37 (seven years ago) link
second track sounds like late-70s Wire
it couldn't have come out in the 90s - the production is quite hi-tech
― imago, Monday, 20 June 2016 19:09 (seven years ago) link
anyway it's bloody amazing yeah
i'm not so keen on tracks 2 and 3 but they're still at least good. the rest is fucking brilliant.
― imago, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 10:52 (seven years ago) link
Totally sounds like a Greg Saunier production
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:12 (seven years ago) link
"once more to see you" kinda interrupts the flow in a way that i find really distracting, otherwise i love everything else about this record

― oculus lump (contenderizer), Thursday, 23 June 2016 14:10 (seven years ago) link
'dan the dancer' (the wire-a-like) is the one i'm not really sold on, because it doesn't really resolve, but maybe that's the point. colin newman would approve. i don't mind 'once more to see you' so much coz it's too lovely to hate on, if a bit weirdly sequenced
everything from 'fireworks' onward is straight fire incredible album and perfectly sequenced

This new one feels more solid than Laurel Hell, the songs are more composed, more dramatic, less wispy, remains to be seen how memorable they are though.

She's also snuck into the UK top 40 this week for the first time with aforementioned pophit. It seems rather muted to be her crossover?, but, gratifying to see her doing so well
― technopolis, Monday, 2 October 2023 20:41 (six months ago) link
And now she's no.15 in the UK which is quite nice and entirely down to tiktok apparently etc
