deep thoughts over here
seems out of character for Dusted really.

is it like miccachu?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 April 2011 19:35 (fifteen years ago)
kinda the midpoint of micachu/cocorosie/dirty proj? on one listen only. next to gang gang dance and glasser this sort of pan-genre experimentation sounds so puny and pointless

I just listened to 10 seconds of some random tune-yards song on Youtube and I really cannot fathom why anyone would want to listen to it
― fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Monday, 18 April 2011 19:43 (fifteen years ago)
the typographical bullshit alone is enough to get me to hate this but the music is bad too.

omg that dusted review
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 April 2011 19:47 (fifteen years ago)
the one linked by Dusted is good until she starts bellowing at you
― fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Monday, 18 April 2011 19:51 (fifteen years ago)
i listened to most of her first record and that's basically all i remember
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 April 2011 19:55 (fifteen years ago)
i feel like dusted used to run a lot of wild critical-theory addled reviews but that lately they have been a lot more descriptive and readable. i was totally thinking of that crazy "water curses" review by like the third sentence and almost lol'd when i saw that the reviewer then invoked it
tuneyards -- file under "malign influence of dr spock."

listening to dusted song--she sings like she's giving birth
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:00 (fifteen years ago)
hahaha yes
basically I spent the whole time going "damn, calm down"
― fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:01 (fifteen years ago)
this is gonna play real well on college campuses imo

Simon Reynolds just said some of it reminded him of Sublime. RED FLAG.

Man do I ever love Tune-Yards. Some crazy people up in this joint.

I think this is kind of unlistenable/unwatchable.
― fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:11 (fifteen years ago)
Unwatchable, sure!
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:14 (fifteen years ago)
Quirk overload!
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:18 (fifteen years ago)
i think the girl on the left is definitely watchable.
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:19 (fifteen years ago)
mystified as to what aesthetic criteria separates this from gang gang dance quality-wise
― All this information makes America phat (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:21 (fifteen years ago)
energy, production values, hugeness of sound, rhythm
― lex pretend, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:25 (fifteen years ago)
I'll give you "hugeness of sound", but not the others
― All this information makes America phat (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:29 (fifteen years ago)
For me it just boils down to her voice. I like other idiosyncratic singers so I wouldn't think less of someone for digging them, but it's an instant grab for the volume knob when she starts singing.
― rob, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:32 (fifteen years ago)
To pump it up, right!
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:38 (fifteen years ago)
They remind me of a mid '90s Too Pure band, which is a good thing IMO.

there's pitchfork-branded "Pitchfork 3D" glasses in like every single store in Williamsburg right now

The logo on the Pitchfork 3D glasses is pretty awesome, so mad props to whoever created it...

god so tired of ilm tuneyards-bashing

i saw her live in fall 2009 and she was gr8
― markers, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 00:09 (fifteen years ago)
this isn't too bad or anything i just don't really see the appeal of it, esp over the length of a full album -- it's like deeply indie but not in a conventional way like Yuck or something that appeals to me on an (almost bland) indie comfort food level, if that makes sense

liking real african music means doing some homework
― i put that on my sub (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 03:58 (fifteen years ago)
it would probably be deeply irritating over 40 mins
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:00 (fifteen years ago)
researching real african music? yeah probably
― flopson, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:31 (fifteen years ago)
oh fuck off. condescending as shit.
tuneyards is great.
― sean gramophone, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:34 (fifteen years ago)
(xpost)
I listen to a fair amount of african music but don't recall any homework assignments
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:35 (fifteen years ago)
u sure you were listening to the real stuff tho? then again u wouldn't know i guess
― flopson, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:36 (fifteen years ago)
the vocals on this album remind me of some of the eye vocals on soul discharge
― flopson, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:37 (fifteen years ago)
brb guys goin ta africa school

The Big KRIT review is kind of inane and I can't even figure out whether it's the writer or the editor giving it that score.
like, what the fuck is going on here when a review starts off like this
As a rapper, Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. is pretty good but nothing amazing
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 21 April 2011 19:17 (fifteen years ago)
i mean i understand that he's a more superior producer than rapper but this is the most awkward initial sentence of the year
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 21 April 2011 19:18 (fifteen years ago)
i think tom did a nice job w/ that review
