I think the Say Anything song "Alive With the Glory with Love" is amazing (not using the word hyperbolically). None of their other songs have made quite the impact. I like the band, tho. I enjoyed Two Tongues, and I'm looking forward to the new album.

xp

not really. one person likes 'em, another doesn't. the usual.

okay seriously, listening to "Alive With The Glory With Love" now and am expecting Ashton Kutcher to pop his head around my cubicle wall any second

ADVANCED CHORD CHANGES (HI DERE), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 21:22 (sixteen years ago)

honestly. you guys all koganed your brains out or something.

i feel like i'm an antenna and i want to be that antenna (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 21:32 (sixteen years ago)

like i'm all for pop emphera, like music that sounds like how 7-up looks, but this is just all the whiney horrid vocalisms that have ruined indie rock filter through wack third wave 90s pop punk ska bands and then run through bad modern rock studio sounds

it doesn't work as rock or as catchy pop music.

it's like a popcicle made of mcnuggets

i feel like i'm an antenna and i want to be that antenna (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 21:34 (sixteen years ago)

but it's nice to pinpoint where exactly popism became stockholm syndrome

not to be confused with pophole syndrome

music that sounds like how 7-up looks

hah, i haven't actually listened to ~any of the songs on this thread yet, but this is perfect

Say Anything are a very good band and their first album is one of the best of the decade imo. don't see anything popist or koganed out about holding that opinion, since they're pretty middle tier as far as major label emo bands go.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha this thing, what the hell

This is what The Farm sounds like to everyone but me, isn't it?

ADVANCED CHORD CHANGES (HI DERE), Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:44 (sixteen years ago)

only one i've heard but that sounded alright to me(?)

Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 October 2009 17:01 (sixteen years ago)

holy lolz, so glad I chose to skip this album even though I liked the first one

ADVANCED CHORD CHANGES (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:04 (sixteen years ago)

She apologized for all the bratty behavior that made her interesting, and replaced all her rapping with what my brain tells me is singing but my ears tell me is screeching tires.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 October 2009 17:05 (sixteen years ago)

fucking hell. i apologise world. we may have given the world many a great thing but i am genuinely embarrassed be on the same land mass at the person who made this.

Samuel (a hoy hoy), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:06 (sixteen years ago)

(xpost) That line is great but is completely undercut by the laconic rap she does on the track he's making fun of.

The vocal filter on the chorus is fucking creepy and not at all sexy.

holy lol "(oh, porridge)"

ADVANCED CHORD CHANGES (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:07 (sixteen years ago)

The background voice saying in his smooooooooooooothest voice "food blenders". omg, there are not 35 worse songs surely.

Samuel (a hoy hoy), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:08 (sixteen years ago)

holy lol "(oh, porridge)"

omg lolololol.

Samuel (a hoy hoy), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:08 (sixteen years ago)

I am massively enjoying this because it is hilarious, not because it's any good.

ADVANCED CHORD CHANGES (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:09 (sixteen years ago)

i now feel like i might give anorexia a try.

Samuel (a hoy hoy), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:09 (sixteen years ago)

the electro Ebola that’s killing hip-hop

Isn't this the same idea everybody jumped over SFJ for?

Sov album is good btw (though that song's just silly.)

xhuxk, Friday, 30 October 2009 17:11 (sixteen years ago)

I had no idea this record existed. Blimey.

I'm just expressing myself as ONE HUNGRY MIDGET

(oh PORRIDGE) (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 17:34 (sixteen years ago)

okay I actually just caught the bit that the tire screech ref alludes to and holy fucking lolz

Weird Al is so mad at this girl right now

Cheesecake Drake

^^this is such a good burn

a goon boy (J0rdan S.), Friday, 30 October 2009 19:13 (sixteen years ago)

I think this is pretty funny and doesn't sound bad. It's quite obviously a parody of sex raps, I can't believe the writer even has to ask whether or not she's joking.

Tuomas, Friday, 30 October 2009 19:17 (sixteen years ago)

It's like asking whether or not "Chocolate Salty Balls" should be taken seriously... Sometimes joke songs can be good too.

Tuomas, Friday, 30 October 2009 19:19 (sixteen years ago)

yeah the thing is this is clearly a joke song and it's also clearly awful

(oh PORRIDGE) (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 19:20 (sixteen years ago)

I think even the people who hated her first album would agree this is many many many many many times worse than ANYTHING on it.

(oh PORRIDGE) (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 19:21 (sixteen years ago)

Well, compared to the horrible song that began this countdown, or the Ozzy/Wu tune, this is way more listenable.

Tuomas, Friday, 30 October 2009 19:21 (sixteen years ago)

i for one am glad we have someone like tuomas to let us know when someone is being facetious or sarcastic

k3vin k., Friday, 30 October 2009 19:22 (sixteen years ago)

tbh I'm not sure that I've recovered from brokeNCYDE yet but come on, this is not a particularly good effort from Lady Sovereign

(oh PORRIDGE) (HI DERE), Friday, 30 October 2009 19:23 (sixteen years ago)

This is the first thing I've ever heard of her, I guess I might be more disappointed if I was a fan or something.

Tuomas, Friday, 30 October 2009 19:24 (sixteen years ago)

This is pretty bad but it was worth sitting through three minutes 30 for the fella going "spoons... ice cream... crisps"

War On The Terrances (DJ Mencap), Friday, 30 October 2009 19:35 (sixteen years ago)

35!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 November 2009 18:23 (sixteen years ago)

ha, the first one where i know someone who owns a copy of the single.

a hoy hoy, Monday, 2 November 2009 18:26 (sixteen years ago)

just ftr, that song was based entirely off of a sample stolen from (I believe...?) track 4 off of this:

The Dance at the Crossroads (HI DERE), Monday, 2 November 2009 18:27 (sixteen years ago)

Isn't this just a remix of Cuban Boys' "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia"...?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iulnYHD5Wg

...which came out in 1999. Of course the sample they both use came from some cartoon, but I don't hear too much difference between this and the "Hampsterdance Song". Both simply loop that sample and but a happy hardcore/handbag beat behind it, with some instructional male vocals.

Tuomas, Monday, 2 November 2009 18:47 (sixteen years ago)

If it isn't a remix, then the Cuban Boys should sue Hampton the Hamster for stealing their idea.

Tuomas, Monday, 2 November 2009 19:02 (sixteen years ago)

And if they indeed sue him, Hampton should be represented by this guy:

what the hell

The Dance at the Crossroads (HI DERE), Tuesday, 3 November 2009 21:31 (sixteen years ago)

That was a slow burn.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 3 November 2009 21:33 (sixteen years ago)

more like a slow beating-my-computer-into-good-enough-shape-for-me-to-be-able-to-look-at-web-pages

and of course one of the first things I look at... is that

The Dance at the Crossroads (HI DERE), Tuesday, 3 November 2009 21:48 (sixteen years ago)

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 18:58 (sixteen years ago)
