jj no. 2: A mix of Scandinavian balearic (I know)/outer space R&B/folk-y gloriousness...

la la la la la, it's all around the world

i do enjoy the new record but i will freely admit to having low standards. what should i be listening to instead? has anyone claimed to be "jamming" JJ? i always figured them for a strictly headphone pleasure and this is especially true of the new one.

not really sure wht jordan means been listening to no.2 and it's pretty great

If loving jj is wrong I don't wanna be right.

lol @ the lite jazz discussion upthread, so true

not re:jj

yeah i don't get it - i like the tough alliance and love air france thus by rights i prob should like jj but i don't. snooooze.

they took the bad bits from both instead of the good bits. this has grown on me a bit tho (at least From Africa To Malaga and Ecstasy have).

no idea who those two bands are, will investigate

serious coz?

'balearic' totally passed me by (I'm assuming they're balearic); big blindspot. only acts I've heard in any depth are studio, d. lissvik and mungolian jetset

yes, balearic they are/were considered

try meanderthals lp also cozen

oh yeah, I have that too (and a few others that don't come immediately to mind)

will def look into air france/tough alliance cos I really like the jj stuff

try smoking weed on the beach too if ur into that kind of thing

so into that kind of thing

both these records are great imo

they are basically as much old-fashioned "indie pop" as balearic tho no?? kinda need a taste for that kind of stuff.

half the shit labelled balearic just sounds like saint etienne 2 me

balearic is a ~~mindset~~

few influences here and there

didnt think i really fucked w/ the st etienne indie end of balearic but i will fuck w/ this in a second, the version of that akon song they do is the best of their rnb covers, but i guess just bc i dont like the orig. (on the other hand their lollipop and birthday sex covers are just limp sounding 2 me)

what is the reason that their 2nd album is so much less acclaimed same review in p4k i think gave it like half the score?

also this is shockingly awesome

they are good at being "inscrutable"

what is that 5 minutes thing? from their 2nd album?

no its from swedish radio, like a mini mixtape i guess

I'm grindin' until I'm tired
You say you ain't grindin' until you die

you posted on the wrong lil wayne thread

blasphemy, i'm sure, but these days i'd rather hear jj than The Game

well yeah, it's just weird that you posted those lyrics as if she wrote them

wasn't my intent. just love the way she sings them.

these days i'd rather hear jj than The Game

^^^^^

these any day

their schtick has grown soo tired imo, it's starting to remind me of those open-mic acoustic guitarists who take pop songs and just slow em down and sing em all heartfelt-like

yeah that cover reminds me of youth group music in the worst way. zzzzzzzz.

i think it sounds really pretty but i'm a total sucker for jj's sound

How much mileage do you think is left in this idea? I am enjoying this mixtape but I can see how it's twee feyness would irritate.

Scandinavia doesn't feel very Balearic these days:
